I promised Razer51 that I was going to report on how I did in a tourney (non-sanctioned) he held for a box of darksteel, so here it goes.
Round one: Rg vs bad Mono Black (no shade, no negators, no will)
I ran the bash and he had no answers for it.
Round two: Rg vs Keeper (no sceptors)
Game one, my hand was bad. I shouldn't have kept it. Turn one mox ruby, taiga, cast dryad, pass the turn. Keeper, wastelands my taiga. I didn't see another land until turn 4 and it was a wasteland. He, by this time, had casted recall, and dealt with my 1/1. I conceded and went to game 2. Games two and three, I resolved null rod and blood moon. I had creatures out, not much he could do.
Round three: Keeper with intuition and AKs and no sceptor.
Game one, I saw many creatures. He got mana screwed. We went on to Game 2. Game two, I kept a hand with 1 blood moon, 1 tangle wire, 1 null rod, 1 wooded foothills, 1 lightning bolt, 2 wastelands and 1 stripmine.
He went 1st, played a flooded strand passed the turn. I played my foothills passed the turn. He fetched for a tundra, played a mox ruby, passed the turn. At his end step, I fetched for a mountain and bolted him. My turn, I wasteland the tundra and passed the turn. He drew a card, passed the turn. I played a wasteland, casted null rod, said go. He drew a card, discarded something, said go. I played my blood moon, he didn't have force. It looked like game. He took his turn, played a land, that turned into a non-basic mountain
and said go. I unloaded my hand of creatures, said go. The rest of the match was me beating him to death and him not drawing an answer to blood moon or creatures.
Round four: Rg vs sligh (Razer51)
We drew but played for fun anyway. As you might haved guessed, this was my better match up of the day, not to mention that really bad sui black.
top 8 (with 12 people)
I lost 1st round to mono green LD. The deck he played was bad. I made a bunch of side boarding mistakes, and player mistakes. I let him take back something that would of mattered, but oh well, I guess I shouldn't be nice when I play anymore.

I know it was supposed to be budget and all... I borrowed the power. I used from "Mr. Big," just to see if it would make a difference, and it did! It was great synergy with my null rods main deck!
But all in all, it didn't matter. The extra mountain and forest over the power is way better than the power, I guess. Try it yourself and see. Thats my report. Bye.
PS: If you know how to sideboard, I can use suggestions!
