Top 8 split 

I patterned my seventy-four cards from Eduardo's list. The only difference is he enlisted Rain of Filth while I sleeved Empty the Warrens. 

My first round was a disaster for I committed a lot of misplays and miscalculations. 

Versus Mono Red Chalice deck, I managed to win the game despite a strong defensive board from the opponent: Chalice of the Void for one, Blood Moon, and a 4/3 pressure. In my last upkeep, I had the following on my table: four non-basic lands and my hand was: a Lion's Eye Diamond, two Cabal Rituals, and two Infernal Tutors. The opponent was at fourteen life points. I draw for the turn - Swamp. I ended the game summoning Tendrils of Agony for lethal. I won game two because I summoned a mob of goblins in front of a Chalice of the Void for one and Trinisphere.

versus Mono Blue Delver, I lost game one because the opponent had a ton of defensive cards: Wastelands, Stifle, Dazes, and Force of Wills. Name it. He had it all. His tag team of 3/2 flying Delver and 7/7 Murktide Regent won him game one. Game two, I was at fourteen life points when he let Ad Nauseam resolves. I already did a land drop for the turn so I was hoping for Lotus Petals off the Ad Nauseam resolution. But alas, no Lotus Petal yet. So I continued flipping cards until I was at one life point. Amongst the revealed cards are: two Dark Rituals, a Lion's Eye Diamond, and a Past in Flames. Since there's no point in tanking at that moment, and all I needed was either a petal or LED, I decided to flip the top card and uttered, "talo kung talo". LION'S  EYE DIAMOND. Stopped the instant black card's Resolution. Dropped both LEDs then cracked them for three black and three red. Discard everything. Flashback Past in Flames to which he gave a green light. Used the remaining black mana to reignite the engine into Tendrils of Agony.  

Game three, discard spells took care of the opponent's counter spells. In my last turn, Ponder gave me a Dark Ritual. Wishclaw searched for the Ad Nauseam. Summoned it. Reloaded my hand with goodies. Chained some more spells before ending the turn with lethal Tendrils of Agony. 

Top 8 players decided to split equally the prizes so that we can all go home early. 

Here are some of the misplays I committed. (i) I tried protecting my fetchland ability with Veil of Summer from Stifle. I read my green instant M20 card while it is on the stack and it says there "spells". Abilities not included. Well, at least I get to draw a card. (ii) mob is not a good win condition versus cloudpost deck. (iii) Misty Rainforest must fetch Island and Polluted Delta, as much as possible, must fetch Swamp. And (iv) I miscalucated my floating mana. 

This is all for now folks. Thank you for reading.
