Alright, so after a short retirement of several months, I was finally convinced by outlaw into heading to a tournament this weekend, It was rather myriad or beanie exchange in springfield, being closer to springfield, I chose that one.  So I start to playtest a few nights before, undecided as what to play, I throw together 7/10, play some games against top, get smashed.  All of a sudden I have the urge to play blue white fish, thinking to myself "wow thats a really good deck"  So I tell outlaw if I can get u/w fish thrown together for sunday i'm in.

It's saturday, and i'm actually moving out of my house, so i'm busy all day, meanwhile outlaw was busy pwning face in myriad making top 4.  He finally arrives at the apartment around 11ish, we throw together u/w fish, play two games and head to bed.

So it's sunday morning, and we wake up and head out, we arrive to purple hats dorm room, and drive for a little over an hour, and we get there, 42 People on hand. I fill out my deck reg, that read something like this

u/w Fish:

Creatures: 13
4 - Cloud of faries
4 - spiketail hatchlings
3 - Meddling Mage
2 - ninja of the deep hour

Mana: 24
5 - Blue Fetches
4 - Island
3 - Tundra
2 - Moxen (derr)
4 - Mishra's factory
4 - Wasteland
1 - Stripmine
1 - Library of alexandria

Hotness: 23
3 - Nullrod
4 - Curiosity
4 - Standstill
2 - Swords to plowshares
4 - Force of will
2 - Daze
2 - Stifle
1 - Timewalk
1 - Ancestral Recall

SB: 15
2 - Aura Fracture
1 - Seal of Cleansing
1 - Disenchant
1 - Swords
1 - Crucible of Worlds
2 - Annul
3 - Energy Flux
3 - Arcane Lab
1 - Null Rod

Ok, so I'm gonng go through matches fairly quickly, because I think you all know how fish plays out, and not to brag or anything but I ripped through the tourney with relative ease.

Round 1: Squriell craft

Game 1: I get combo'd out
Game 2: I get down Fractures and own
Game 3: See game 2

Round 2: Landstill - Kid who counted purple hates deck and got him a match loss

Game 1: First turn library, he had no waste, I had too much tempo as he had no lands
Game 2: HMMM first turn LoA again went back and forth, but gay men = the win

Round 3: Top (outlaw a teamate)

Game 1: Something like turn 2 nullrod, turn 3 meddling mage, resolving in a early scoop.
Game 2: he keeps a hand of island, island, ak, ak, ak, ak, balance, I played first turn LoA, second turn strip mine (oops) He never recovers and the tempo is now mine

Round 4: CA

Game 1: Turn two he has a seat of synod, 2 moxen, and bazaar out, I look like i'm in trouble, until on my turn I play  nullrod, I then cast mage naming animate dead, he scoops
Game 2: He combo's out with dragon first turn.
Game 3: I side in my massive amounts of enchantment hate and own face.

I am 4-0, and draw my next two rounds in.

Top 8: ALL 3 of us who drove down together top 8, pretty decent numbers

I get paired up against oath

Game 1: I play turn one, mox, mox, meddling mage naming oath, and curisoity on him, he scoops.
Game 2: I once again side in my enchantment hate, and fracture is too much to handle.

Top 4:

I get paired up against a Teammate again, Which By the way all 3 of us who drove down together topped 8, pretty solid numbers, Purple hat just defeated outlaw, now it's my turn to show him whats up.

Game 1: I make the dumbest play error EVARRR that could have costed me the game when I had a very solid lock on him, I cast standstill, then cast meddling mage... YEAHHH, either way, I had too much goin on for me to lose that game.
Game 2: omg enchantment hate, I had 2 aura fracture, and a seal of cleansing on the board, gg.

Finals:

I play against bird shit.

Game 1: He mulls to 6, keeps a library only hand, I waste it, he never recovers as I gain major tempo
Game 2: He mulls again, I wasteland again, but this time he has more land, I am hitting with a few gay men, but he plays a nimble mongoose and a werebear, I get nervous, Only to draw all 4 of my factories, and overwhelm him with damage.

So after a short retirement, I make a return and steal a mox ruby, if anyone has any questions speak up.

Props: Purple hat for driving, and for getting owned by me, Outlaw and purple hat for both top 8'ing, Kowal for winning the side tourney for a drain, brass + outlaw + sextiger for lending me major cards.

Slops: not being able to find wendy's for 10 minutes, REDICULOUS
