I'll write my report as soon as I can find some time.
I made a 5-2-0 score and went out of the Top8 because of rating ( playing the usual 4C-C build ).
I lost to C-Slavery because an astonishingly sad "all-black-hand" with only white and red mana on table and to the WelderMUD that Top8ed because of a single Sundering Titan coupled with a lot of Tangle Wires that prevented me to resolve Mana Drains and that stole me all my lands.
I won against ( in some order... ) UB-Mask-Naught, TPS-UB, MonoBlack, BG-Dragon and a UWR-Control-with_a_lot_of_Decrees...
I escaped two times from a first Turn Darksteel Colossuss and I won two matches siding out all my winners excluding a Gorilla and my single Decree. Some times the board superiority convinced my opponent to concede ( almost every time he went down to Zero Permanents for more than 10 turns )... and it happened really more frequently than I would had ever thought .
With my side I feel more confident on the UBR-T1Tog's matchup and WITHOUT changing too much the maindeck too.
More notes about this later.
