Things that I can still recall
-I won a game without a bear on the table.
-The addition of the third Grapeshot helped me win games against Endurance and Flusterstorm.
-I only get to use Impulse once. It gifted me land, the card I really needed at that time. Dropped it. Cast rituals into Past in Flames into recycle all the goodies from my graveyard and win.
-Pact of Negation is better than Remand. Remand Solitude, Endurance, or Force of Negation, there is still this possibility that the opponent will just pitch something for it and summon it again. But such is not the case with the Pact of Negation.
-Misplay: I forgot to include Past in Flames in one of my piles. But luck was on my side because I get to draw my second copy of Grapeshot. First Grapeshot deals for nine damages. And the second deals for thirteen damages.
-Misplay: I missequenced my spells. Bear shouldn't be your first spell if the opponent has an active Teferi on the table.
-Going into round four, my record was 2-0-1. Then my sugar level suddenly went down in an instant right after round four pairings was posted. Good thing the opponent asked if we can do ID (because he was at 3-0). No hesitation, I accepted it. I need to eat something before it gets any worse.
This is all for now.
Thank you for reading folks!
