Round 1 Ayuma Katsuki with Monoblack Control/Dark Depths.dec
Game 1
I win the die roll and play first. My opening hand is 2x Chain, 1 Lightning Bolt 2x Jet 1 Fireblast and 1 Mountain. He mulligans to 5. I chained him twice without drawing a land. He plays no land, apparantly keeping a 5 card hand with no land. I then Magma Jet him, followed by a Rift Bolt and Fireblast for the win. He played a Shriekmaw on my Pridemage but other than that did not resolve any threats.

+ 3 Pithing Needle Side - 3 Price of Progress. Although I did not see Dark Depths, I knew he ran the combo, so I sided in some hate in anticipation.

Game 2
He mulligans to 6 and starts first. He plays Thoughtseize and cracks a fetch. And he takes my Lavamancer and leaves my Pithing Needle in hand. I play 1 Goblin Guide, 1 Nactl and start to beat him down. He draws a land from my Goblin Guide. He doesn't do much and passes the turn. He reveals a Maelstrom Pulse from his library in response to my Goblin Guide. And I misplay by casting 2 Goyfs right after. He destroys 2 Goyfs and casts his own. I topdeck burn and swing into his Goyf. He is at 3 now. He casts the 2/3 Lifelink Vampiric Nighthawk. I draw a Lightning Bolt and that was game.

Round 2 Yoshihiko Tokuyama with Countertop/Goyf
Game 1
I lose the dice roll and he starts. I begin with the usual 3/3 Nactl and attempt to lay down a Goyf. He Forces, removing another Force of Will. I play Goblin Guide x 2 and swing for 7. He animates his Mishra's Factory that had summoning sickness and blocks Nactl. He attempts to pump, and I tell him that the Factory has summoning sickness. He frowns and his Factory dies. He then gets Counterbalance/Top out but cannot stop by guys from beating him up.

+4 Vexing Shusher -1 Figure of Destiny -1 Wild Nactl -1 Chain Lightning -1 Lavamancer

Game 2
He starts with Land go. I start off with Figure of Destiny. I remember having Price of Progress in my hand along with some Bolts. I attack him with a Nactl and a Figure and he eventually gets a Mishra's Factory and a Tarmogoyf out to act as a wall. I wanted to Price him but forgot to do so before his Mishra's factory died. But it was still okay because I got him for 4 and then Lightning Bolted him for the win.

Round 3 Horie Yoshieki with Elves!
Game 1
He wins the die roll but mulls to 6. I begin with Nactl and Goblin Guide followed by 2 Goyfs. He begins with Elvish Visionary and then later lays down 2x Nettle Sentinal and Glimpse of Nature to draw atleast 4 cards. He has that 1/1 Insect that bounces his Elves and draws even more cards. It doesn't matter though because I attack into his 1/1 or 2/2s and get enough damage through. He did a trick where he would bock with his Elves and then use the 1/1 insects to return them to hand. But that was only a stall tactic. I draw Rift Bolt and Magma Jet him. I was at 17 life and he scoops to overwhelming Goyfs, Cats, and Goblins.

+4 Rolling Earthquake -3 Price of Progress -1 Quasali Pridemage
Game 2
He mulligans to 6 again and starts off with a G/W shockland taking 2 and laying down a Nettle Sentinal. I start off with Wild Nactl and eventually build up a creature base. We race for damage. I topdeck burn after burn and finished him off with Fireblast.

Round 4 Hisayuki Houseki with R/G/B Belcher
Game 1
I took abolutely no notes this game so forgot everything. But from memory. I started with turn 1 Nactl. He started with turn 1 14 Goblin Tokens. I lose.

+4 Pithing Needle +4 Rolling Earthquake -3 Price of Progress -3 Rift Bolt -2 Grim Lavamancer
Game 2
I start and mull to 4 because I found no hate cards my opening hand until I mulled to 4. I went land Pithing Needle. He went Land Grant, LED, Ritual, Ritual, Burning Wish, Crack LED, ill Gotten Gains, Ritual, LED, Wish, Crack LED, Tendrils for 22.

Round 5 Hiroyuki Ooe with Natural Order.dec
Game 1
I overran him simple enough. He did not even get 3 lands in play before I got 2 x Goyf, 2 x Goblin Guide, 1 Lavanmancer, 1 Nactl.

+4 Rolling Earthquake - 3 Figure of Destiny -1 Grim Lavamancer

Game 2
I get off a good start with some creatures and burn. But he plays Kitchen Finks and Pernicious Deed. He wipes the board and then sacrifices Kitchen Finks with Natural Order. 10/10 Progenitus kills me even though I have a 5/6 Goyf out.

-4 Rolling Earthquake, +3 Figure of Destiny + 1 Grim Lavamancer

Game 3
Explosive start with 1 3/3 Nactl. 2nd Turn 2x Goblin Guide and attack for 7. Then he plays a Goyf, and I attack into it and killed the Goyf with my Nactl. He Maelstorm Pulses my 2 Goblin Guides. But he lays down a 3rd nonbasic land. I Price of Progress him to 4 and Fireblast him for the win.

Round 6 Taishi Kobayashi with Dragon Stompy
Game 1
He mulligans to 3 and I just totally kill him.

I saw Simian Spirit Guide and panicked. I thought he was playing Belcher but wasn't too sure.
+1 Vexing Shusher +2 Earthquake -3 Price of Progress

Game 2
He gets a first turn Umezawa's Jitte with Lotus Petal and Chrome Mox. I lay down beaters. He lays down Flametongue Kavu and a Dragon. I manage to clear both with burn and blockers. He however has Jitte. Eventually I run out of cards/gas and slow down into topdeck mode. I remember Earthquaking for 2 in order to kill a creature. Too late though, he manages to get a 3/3 Doublestriking Dragon in play with Jitte and kills me.

+2 Vexing Shusher -2 Earthquake

Game 3
Very intense game. I start off with a Goblin Guide and he reveals Chalice. He plays Ancient Tomb and Chalice for 1. I lay down land and play Quasali Pridemage and attack for 3 with Goblin Guide. He plays Flametongue Kavu on my Quasali Pridemage. I draw a card and lay a land and say go. He plays Umezawa's Jitte but does not equip even though he had the mana. I Magma Jet him end of turn and see another Magma Jet and a Rift Bolt. I take the Rift Bolt on top and my turn, I lay down double Rift Bolt and pass the turn. He taps Ancient Tomb to equip the Jitte and I Fireblast the Kavu in response. Double Rift Bolt resolves and my Goblin Guide damages him to 1. He scoops at his draw step. He was a very nice guy though.

I won:

4 Meddling Mages
1 Countryside Crusher for being 5-1. Yay tie-breakers!!!
