I committed a lot of errors. 

First. I kept some bad hands. Hands that had three swamps and two Wrench Minds but no one drop discard spell. 

Second. I had a game where I should have cast Wrench Mind to myself. Why? I had an Ensnaring Bridge on the table and the opponent swung his one-powered creature. And summoned two hammers before the combat damage-dealing step. 

This one is actually not an error but I lost the game because The Rack or Shrieking Affliction did not come in time. The opponent's Otawara soon reached his hands. Bounced the Ensnaring Bridge. Then Swing for the win. 

Opening turn Leyline of Sanctity vs a good hand full of discard spells. Feed the Swarm did not get there in time. 

I think I should go back to two Bloodchief's Thirsts. I keep on drawing it in situations I do not want it. Also the land count. I should have sleeved 23 instead of 24. Should Pithing Needle be in the main deck? 

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