Lost my last 2 rounds. Round 4 was against what appeared to be mono-white humans and both games he managed Grand Abolisher into Adaptive Automaton into Silverblade Paladin. I had to mulligan to 6 both games and didn't even get a single attack in. It felt horrible but he got amazing hands so I'm chalking that up to just stone cold nut hand.
Round 5, game 1 I kept 3 land/3 Splinterfright and didn't draw any mill spells. I had to cast a Splinterfright on turn 3 just to have it die. He ramped into Sigarda and Garruk. Game two I got hit with nothing but dual lands which substantially slowed me out of the gate. I almost stabilized behind a Wolfir Silverheart/Dungeon Geist pair but a Titantic Growth did me in.
I did manage to cast Havengul Lich and immediately cast a Ghoultree from the graveyard but the Lich wasn't amazing. A full assortment of milling Skaabs would probably help. Cut the Birds of Paradise for all the milling Skaabs? Would Kraken Hatchling fit as a blue one drop?
