Some notes from the tournament that I remember:

Round 1 vs Mark with monored
Game 1 Mark efficiently beat me down
Gamees 2&3 I can't remembre alot of detail but the deck ran smoother and I
won both.

Round 2 vs David with Black/Red
Game 1 Struggled to deal with an early 5/5 Cateran ? but held off long
enough to fly in damage
Game 2 Briberied in a 3/3 Moutainwalk from Davids deck to beat him down with

Round 3 vs Brian Rius with Mono White
Game 1 Never completed as we were both to make final 4. It was long and
drawn out but I probably could have taken it; life was 15 me, 5 Brian and
had the Barrier beats going

Fianl 4:
Played Brennon with Red/Blue
Game 1 Won handly woth swift beatdown and a lack of land on Brennon's part
Game 2 Lost by 1 life. Should have won but didn't stop to do the math
Game 3 Won with a struggle can't remember details.

Split Top two prizes with other final 4 winner (Sorry can't remember the
name).

Sorry I can't give more details of games but wasn't expecting to write a
report. I thought
this would at least show the colors chosen and faced.
