Also played mat TDK for a 1K tournament went 5-2 10th place played against these decks
UW Take Turns 2-0
Mono black Devotion 2-0
Infect 1-2
Storm 0-2
Burn 2-0
Ponza 2-1
Jund 2-1
Against the first dredge deck I got game 1 and 2 just too fast for him. Against the other dredge deck i got game 1 and 3. Both games I boarded leyline of the void and assassins trophy. Against the Izzet Phoenix I boarded in leyline of the void and thoughtsieze. The Izzet deck was a rough one cause mainboard surgical hit my bridge from below but still got him game 1 mostly because he set himself to a low life goal eith fetches shocks surgical and gut shot.
Got back from Magicfest L.A.(GP L.A.) this weekend playing TyrantRevolver's list (having 2 Alpine Moon's and 2 Fatal Push instead of 2 Damping Sphere, 1 Darkblast, and 1 Necrotic Wound) and ended up 5-3 on day 1 and wasn't able to make day 2.
Matchups in order were vs
GW Tron 2-1
Dredge 2-0
Valakut 1-2
Jund 2-0
The rock 0-2
Izzet Phoenix 2-0
Dredge 2-1
Bant Spirits 1-2
All in All wasn't too bad not of the matchup losses were mostly due to the deck folding to itself and just plain out losing to The Rock with mainboard Scavenging ooze and Kalitas. Valakut was always a hard matchup even after siding in Alpine Moons and Assassins Trophies, too much mainboard hate with Anger of the God's and Relic of Progenitus and a free sac outlet for them i.e. Sakura Tribe Elder to exile Bridge from Below. Against the Spirits matchup the deck just drew poorly and was aggroed out while countering the deck with Mausoleum Wanderer, Spell Queller, (countering the Faithless Looting, Insolent Neonate, or Stitcher's Supplier) and Selfless Spirit to exile Bridge from Below.
The deck was a blast to play this weekend and I'll continue playing it as well.
