I could
swear that I counted up the cards on my deck list before I turned it in, but maybe I'm just lucky that there weren't deck checks before Top 8 (Not that it would've mattered much, since I got blown out in two rounds by the wonderful Mr. Davis anyway... O_o).
Anyway, the proper deck list (with proper spelling... I should rot in hell for misspelling Priest of Titania...)

I wish I could remember more about this tournament, but I honestly ddin't expect to top, so I didn't take notes or anything. This is what i remember. I'm not too good with names, so I only remember the names of a few of my opponents. I apologize to those whose name's I have forgotten.
Round 1 Jeremy Beaver w/ Oath of Druids.
I took game 1, but I cannot remember if I prevailed with combo or turning Elves sideways.
Game 2 his opening seven was Oath, creature, creature, other cards. Terrible luck! He had to mull.
From what I remember, he could not find an oath this game for the life of him, and I ended up ticking him down with little green men.
1 - 0
Round 2 ???
The gentleman I played round 2 was playing time vault / key. He was honestly surprised by the combo kill game 1. I don't remember if there was two games or three, but I remember that one of the games took a long time. He took away my kill condition and two artifact destruction cards with three Extracts in a row. (turns 1, 2, and I believe 3). Fortunately, I had a Krosan grip in hand the entire time, and he never stumbled upon his combo anyway.
2 - 0
Round 3 ??? ( I told you I am terrible with names... -_-)
To my recollection, I believe my opponent was playing Time vault / Key (probably tezz). I am not exactly sure how this one went down. I believe one game I won off beats, and another through combo on the back of Regal Force. I believe this one went to three games, me winning the first, him the second, and me the third.
Round 4 Noah Cohen
In round four I got paired up with one of my Penn State teammates. Since we were 3 - 0 at this point, we decided to ID and try to win at least one more round later. I feel bad, because if we played this out, there's a good chance he would've made top instead of me.
3 - 0 - 1
Round 5 AJ Grasso.
This round was a total blowout. I got murdered very quickly in two games. I didn't think my match-up against Landstill was bad, but game 1 he Fire 'd two of my men when I was trying to combo out, and I was completely out of it for the rest of this match. I had no idea what to do afterwards and once he had factories for blockers, I was pretty much done for. I didn't even know what to board in, it was terrible.
3 - 1 - 1
Round 6 Evan Hundertmark ( I think ).
My opponent was playing 5c Stax, and while I was happy I managed to avoid Stax the rest of the day, I groaned when I made it to this round. I don't remember much about Game 1, only that I got murdered by them there artifacts and the goblins who weld them. Game two and three I boarded in the generous artifact hate in my sideboard, and luckily managed to cast
{G}Seeds of Innocence
when he was completely committed to the board. Elvish beats won this game, with back up from Krosan Grip and Naturalize to keep welding shenanigans to a minimum. Game three went similar to game 2, winning off the back of attacking Elves, seeds, and other artifact hate.
4 - 1 - 1

Round 1 Joe Davis
This game was really fun, because my buddy mr. grimm was insulting me and cheering for Joe the entire time...
Thanks, dude! Anywho, Joe assembled his combo pieces both games. I remember mulling low the second game, and getting blown out. I wish I was at least able to make this one a real game... but oh well.
Yay Force of Will!
Final record: 4 - 2 - 1.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the way the day turned out! I love going to tournaments at Blue Bell, because they're always a lot of fun. And Pudge's. Mmmmmm, Pudge's.
Once again I would like to apologize to all the great people I played against whose names I don't recall. I'm so terrible with names!
