X4 Nettle Sentinel
X2 Craterhoof Behemoth
X1 Birchlore Ranger

X3 Abrupt Decay
X1 Progenitus

Game 1 against RUG Delver, win 2/3
Meekstone single handidly won me the final two games. Its so good if you can get it to stick.

Game 2 against Jund, loose 0/2
Game one, I drew 6 lands in a row, and just did nothing, game two he devistated my board and hand. It was a sad game for the little green guys.

Game 3 against Landstill, win 2/3
Game three he had Jace at 12 counters and I was dead next turn. I came back in the craziest way! Hard casted Craterhoof met a FOW, then I followed it up with a Natural Order into my 2nd Craterhoof to win with just enough damage to get it done!

Game 4 against GWU delver/Stoneforge/TNN/exalted., I'm sure there is a proper name for the deck.. win 2/0
Playing 4 natural Order's won me this game with no question. At one point I cast 3 Natural Order's in two turns. The final one got me Hoof for the win!

Game 1 of top 8 against RWU Delver, win 2/3
Game one I had Progenitis turn 3 and there is just no answer to it.
Game two, just sad face on my side of the board.
Game 3 my opponent made two mistakes in a row with countering poorly, then not using his Grim Lavamancer to take out my Drad Arbor. This gave me the opening for turn 4 Progenitus and a fast scooping of the cards on my opponents side.

At this point it was 12:30am, and I was ready for bed! Luckily for me, the rest of the guys felt the same and we decided to split the winnings. I walked away with a Force of Will, and a Misty Rainforest.

A few things I learned from the matches.
4 Natural Orders will be staying main deck from now on! Its just so good.
Quirion Ranger with Deathrite Shaman almost feel like cheating!
Meekstone against Delver decks is crazy!
The biggest thing though is never fold early! This deck is so resiliant againt board disruption its sick! There were two diffrent games that I was sure I was going to loose and came back in both. One against an active Jitte and the other against a Jace at 12 counters.

Congrats man.

Yea thats more or less the heart of it. You think your going to lose and then bang. Had a game myself where I went from an empty board to 11 creatures in a turn last week. The redundancy this deck has is one of the defining reasons to play it.

Edit:
ON the new Primer.
I PMed Pop and have yet to get any response. No clue why he is not talking to me. Second time in 3 weeks I have PMed him and just been ignored. I have moved onto talking to Global mods. Maybe I can get one of them to approve it. It really should not have taken this long.

Let's close this one up. Dice Bag was kind enough to work on a Primer, so we can take further discussion here: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=583599

Thanks Dice Bag!
