Win: Bazaar of Moxen 4: Vintage Qualifier

Please forgive me for not recalling a lot of details anymore, but it has been a very demanding week on my memory.
Once arrived at the venue me and my friends wanted to playtest a little. It's here that i discovered that I was missing 2 cards.
There i just bought a foil spelpierce and sower of temptation, I putted those in my maindeck and stopt wondering what i forgot.
This was the deck I ended up playing.

Round 1: Draw 0 - 1 - 0
The first round I got paired against a drain tendrils deck. I don't recall a lot anymore except for the fact that I drew this game
because of my own mistakes. I spell pierced an A.recall when he had 2 mana open and ended up forcing the A.recall (ouch)
Later in the game he spell pierced my tezzeret, i putted the tezzeret in graveyard and realised that i had enough mana to pay for the pierce :s
I ended up drawing this game (I did win the first).

Round 2: Win 1 - 1 - 0
The second round i got paired against one of my travelcompanions so we knew very well what we were playing, Selkie Strike in this occasion.
I kept a very good hand which would allow me to combo on turn 3. Because off a Mana Drain i was able to
combo even sooner (turn 2) and took game 1. Post Sideboard my MU becomes even better. Kris started with a very aggressive hand
but when I establised enough mana, my sowers took over the agression and his creatures combined forces with mine, kicking his life total to zero.

Round 3: Win 2 - 1 - 0
Drain tendrils again. We both got manascrewed in the early games and the game took very long. the only thing i recall was that I ended up casting a Y.Will
and my opponent took a look at my graveyard and scooped into game 2. Here i went totaly broken with a tezzeret in play on the first turn holding force backup.

Round 4: Win 3 - 1 - 0
I can't recall game 1 anymore. Of game 2 I recall that my opponent ended up trying to combo but failed. There i had a mana crypt and a confidant in play and my lifetotal
was very low he wached me sitting out this game. At 4 life i extirpated my own Fow's, leaving only tezzeret in the deck which could kill me if i flipped it. I flipped a land.
that turn i repealed my confidant and my opponent wished me good luck.

Round 5: Win 4 - 1 - 0
In the first game i could resolve a fast combo (tinker and key in hand). Game 2 i took a lot of confidant dammage giving my oponent the opportunity to tendrils me.
Game 3 and defining game i resolved a first turn confidant, followed by a secund turn one. I burried my opponent with cardadvantage which he never recovered from and i ended up winning the mox pearl and 2 byes for the main event.

When i cam back home and desleeved my deck i discovered which cards i was missing. A mox Jet and a mox ruby.
I also was thinking abou writing a report of my tenth (7-1-1) place finish but I can't remember all games anymore, nor can I reconstruct the decissive plays.
