round 2(bant )
game 1 i pretty much just drew all of my removal for his guys and played necrogenesis for the win
game 2 i get colour screwed as i keep a 2 mountain hand and lose
game 3 i keep the same hand and draw 2 more mountains after wards but this time i am able to race him with rakka mar and it is no competition

round 3 (bant)
not much to say about this round as the others lol it was my removal vs. his creatures so I ended up winning the event.[/img]
