RD 4 5c Creativity L

RD 5 Living End W

RD 6 Esper Hammer L

RD 7 Boros Burn L 

I remember a game where I won without using a Gifts Ungiven, Past in Flames, and even had no bear on the table. How? I used his spells to feed my storm count and finish the game with a double Grapeshot. 

I summoned twenty-four goblins by turn four. Violent Outburst into Living End simply ended the warren's existence. 

Pact of Negation won me some games. Here are some of the crucial spells that I can recall Pact of Negation denied. Endurance, Force of Negation, Lightning Bolt, and Searing Blaze. If it was Remand, the chances of those spells getting cast again in that same turn are likely. And if that happens, I will most likely lose that game.

I lost my win-in round versus Esper Hammer. My hand had six cards and amongst them were two Lightning Bolts and a bear. I tapped my two blue-red lands. Dropped the bear in my second turn with me thinking that I will not die in his immediate turn. I was so correct. I did not die in that turn. The opponent simply shipped the turn back with a Kor Outfitter with a Colossus Hammer attached to it. And in his next turn. Urza's Saga fetched another hammer. He summoned a Shadowspear. And swung his lone Kor at me.

Versus 5c Creativity. The opponent kept a very strong defensive hand in our last game. Flusterstorm, Leyline Binding, Spell Pierce, Lightning Bolts, and Veil of Summer. 

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