It was 5 rounds, not sure how many players. Izzet staticaster was mostly for infect, affinity, token decks, and elves. Ceremonious Rejection seems fine vs Affinity but bad vs Eldrazi, as they will usually have a Cavern in play. I've thought about using it for the Tron and Lantern matchups in particular.
Just won a modern IQ with the deck. It's pretty much Vjeran Horvat's list from GP Lille with a different sideboard tuned to the IQ's aggressive meta. The list is here:
Most of the day i actually found myself wanting more Spell Quellers over Geist, as I only ever needed to cast Geist twice all day to win a game. As much as I hate the idea of not using Geist, I'm gonna try moving a Geist or two to the sideboard for another Queller main instead of the 3 Geist+2 Queller split, as Geist has been especially mediocre on the draw in almost every case against the linear strategies dominating modern at the moment. Queller at least provides some tempo gain when on the draw. I didn't bother putting any UR fastlands in the deck yet either. I know the option of Serum Visions or Bolt turn one without shocking is nice, but I want to be drawing lands into the later stages of the game so I'm not totally sure how to implement them or if I even should.
I played at another gameday tournament today and actually won. Played 2 mono-white humans, GB Seasons Past control, ,esper control, GW CoCo, and mono-blue Brain in a Jar. My success against humans this time was partly in thanks to a new sideboard card I tried today: Goldnight Castigator. Not only was it good at blocking in the creature matchups, it was a good hasty threat for the control matchups. GB Seasons Past HAD to have an ultimate price to kill it, since Grasp of Darkness and Languish wouldn't be enough.
I played the hariruya list almost card for card at game day and made it to the finals, losing to mono-white humans. That deck seems almost impossible to beat without a proper sideboard plan for it. I think splashing a few off-color painlands for radiant flames in the board might not be the worst for that matchup, since your 2/1 flashers aren't good against them anyway. My only changes before the event started was replacing two Stratus Dancers with Disperse for Westvale Abbey decks and to apply more tempo, as as well as removing the Void Shatter for a Scatter to the Winds. The awaken was actually relevant a few times. Fevered Visions was amazing all day, too. Would certainly consider mainboarding them in specific metas.
