Notes: Deck's shell was formerly Jeskai CopyCat's. I found that the space I dedicated to the 2-card combo, can be used more efficiently as 2, single-card finishers. So I added Nahiri, the Harbinger and Thing in the Ice to replace Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian.
Round 1 vs Boggles, 0-2.
SB: +1 Spellskite. -1 Wall of Omens. Spellskite alone beats Boggles but my opening hands tricked me b/c I didn’t want to mulligan away into oblivion looking for them.
Conclusion: Tested my previous version of 4cTITI last week vs my Boggles opponent. He was too fast last week and too fast this week. I have to aggressively mulligan into a Spellskite. If I get it, I win. If I don’t, I lose.
Round 1 vs 4c Elementals, 2-1 games:
SB +3 Burrenton Forge-Tender, -3 Spellskite.
-Burrenton Forge-Tender does the same job as Spellskite, only it's 1 mana instead of 2. This is actually relevant b/c I can Burrenton Forge-Tender turn 1, then Thing in the Ice turn 2, holding my cantrips for turn 3 onward.
Round 2 vs BUG Infect, 2-0 games:
SB +1 Spellskite, -1 Wall of Omens.
-He panicked when he saw Spellskite in game 2. Yup, shut your whole deck down w/one card.
Round 3 vs Abzan Death's Shadow, 0-2 games:
SB +3 Dispel (vs Dismember), +1 Spellskite (protect TITI.) -4 Wall of Omens (his smallest creature was Tarmogoyf.)
-After our match, he advised me to make space for Prismatic Ending.
Playtest vs Abzan Death's Shadow, 1-1.
No SB
This is the man who swept me last month and advised me to add Prismatic Ending. He went 3-0 today and ended up in 2nd place. Much respect!
Round 1 vs Eldrazi Tron, 1-1-1.
SB +3 Alpine Moon, -3 Deafening Clarion.
We went to 5 extra turns. If he had 2 additional turns, he would've won. I scored via draw.
Round 2 vs Grixis Zoo, 2-0.
SB +3 Burrenton Forge-Tender, -3 Prismatic Ending.
His buddy gave him pointers but I didn't mind (If i'm not in 1st place contention, I stop caring.)
Round 3 vs Bant Spirits, 2-0.
No SB
He got mana flooded in game 1 and mana screwed in game 2.
I usually have no problems vs Boros. If I had to blame my loss on something, I can think of 3:
1) I missed land drops w/my 16 cantrips!
2) He drew early Eidolon of the Great Revel and got value off of him. I never cast a single Nahiri, the Harbinger, which would've helped.
3) My deck is public knowledge. I've played and discussed my deck too much. It's only natural for ppl to adapt.
I'm going to retire this deck for now. I'll come up w/something fresh!

Test vs RDW, 0-2.
SB: +4 Burrenton Forge-Tender. -3 Spellskite, -1 Wall of Omens.
I learned Skullcrack gets around Burrenton Forge-Tender's pro-red and damage prevention.
Round 2 vs 4cDungeons, 2-0.
No SB.
D&D themed deck!
Round 3 vs 4cElementals, 2-1.
No SB.
Game 3, I announced “overkill.” I had one flipped Thing in the Ice. Flipped the other Thing in the Ice, Nahiri, the Harbinger’d out my Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, then attacked for 29.
Conclusion: Tested my previous version of 4cTITI last week vs my Boggles opponent. He was too fast last week and too fast this week. I have to aggressively mulligan into a Spellskite. If I get it, I win. If I don’t, I lose.
