boarding + Ensnaring bridge, Rushing River, Stifle, 2 tormod's crypt, Red elemental Blast
I thought Kris might be sporting his transformational Oath board which I have seen him do in the past but today he did without it so I brought in a bridge and River
G2 we trade back and forth for a bit I brainstorm 3 turns in a row not shuffling hiding a Will and once his hand and my counter magic is exhausted I cast a will to recast an earlier countered Ancestral a lotus 2 brainstorms a mystical and strip mine which I use in his upkeep to remove his only red source then procede to top deck FoF and he concedes when I have crucible strip online with shaman
G3 I have early ancestral plus tinker for titan wiping out the lands on his side and he never gets into this one
Round 4 Shawn w/Gifts
I concede to him so he can make top 4 as we can both get in then
Top 4 Eugene Lou(sp?) w/survival w/lots of hand disrupton
