Round 1 - Painter

Game 1 - We counter all our spells but I started with Library so we get to a point where I have 3 cards and he has none. I finally draw something other then permission and seal the deal.
Game 2 - I get a busted draw with the turn 1 Duress, Tinker for Vault, play Voltaic Key and take all the turns I want. 2-0

1-0

Round 2 - U/R Landstill

This match wasn't even close. I mulligan game 1 and have a hand full of Artifact mana. he sticks a Null Rod and then rips a rucible for Wasteland lock. Game 2 he resolves another Null Rod an I shit my pants again. 0-2

1-1

Round 3 - U/G/B Fish

Game 1 - I keep a sketchy hand and gets a turn 2 Bob to stick follwed by a couple of Goyfs. I can't draw something in time.
Game 2 - I keep a spicy hand of turn 3 Tezzeret with lots of back up.
Game 3 - I keep a Library hand and draw about 3 cards off it till he Wastes it. I'm way up on cards now and try for a Tinker. We go back a forth until it resolves and Darksteel Colossus has his way with him. 2-1

2-1

Round 4 - Mirror

I don't really remember much about this match. All I remember is that he wins the first but I win the match. All the games were complete blow outs on both sides. No mulligans. 2-1

3-1

Round 5 - Shop Aggro

Game 1 - I keep a sick hand of Tinker, Thirst, Ancestral and Force with some other blue card but no blue source. I do have a Mana Crypt and a Relic of Progenitus so decide to keep knowing what he's playing. I play the Crypt and cycle the Relic but fail to hit the U source on turn 1. He plays a Mox a Workshop and casts a Solemn which I let resolve. I rip the U source (HL) the following turn and pass. He casts a sword of Fire/Ice which I cast Thirst in response pitching an Artifact. I counter the Sword and take 2. I untap and cast Ancestral hitting another Force and another land. I cast Tinker for Colossus and win out.
Game 2 - I keep a slower hand with a couple draw spells and a couple Drains. He casts a turn 2 Jester's Cap which he cracks the following turn taking 1 Tezzeret, Colossus and the Time Vault. If he had just taken the 2 Tezzerets and the 11/11 I would have scooped. So I keep playing and he fails to play creatures for the next couple turns. I finally draw a tutor for the last Tezz and I attack for 20 with 4 artifacts for the match. 2-0

4-1

Round 6 I draw making it in in 8th. 4-1-1

Top 8 - Mana Ichorid

Unfortunately I have to play a Teammate in the top 8 so we talk, prize split and play it out. I mulligan to 5 game 1 and draw nothing. Game 2 he keeps a poor hand and I Tinker for Colossus. Game 3 he casts an Unmask which I think a while about countering. My hand is Force, Ancestral, Tinker, Relic, Land, Mox, Top. I think and think and finally decide to counter it by removing Ancestral. Marty shits his pants after seeing Recall RFG, plays Bazaar and passes. I cast Mox, land and Relic and pass. He Dredges and hits nothing important. and passes. I hit a Mox but I don't cast Tinker so I can keep mana up for Relic. So I just play top and pass. He does the same and passes without hitting a Meoba, Therapy or Needle for the Relic. I top EOT and hit a Land. I cast Tinker and get Colossus. He fails to ripo a Chain of Vapor and I get there. GGs Marty.

Top 4 - Mirror

Game 1 - I keep a slow hand but it's ok vs the Mirror (4 lands, Drain, FOF, Regrowth). He duresses and takes the Drain. I play Reegowth and get Drain back. He Thoughtseizes and take FOF this time. I draw a Thirst and Pass with 4 mana up. He plays land and passes. I opt not to cast Thirst so I can have a Drain back up next turn. I draw, play a land and pass. He casts his own Thirst main phase and I respond by casting Thirst. He lets it resolve and I draw Tinker, Drain, Mis Direction. I discard 2 lands and let his Thirst resolve. Then he trys to cast his own Tezzeret which I Drain he casts Force of Will which I MisD to his Tezzeret so I don't burn for 5. I rip a Mox and cast Tinker for the GGs.
Game 2 - I don't remember much of this game but I remember finishing it with a Darksteel Colossus and 2 Counters with him having nothing in hand.
