Round 2 Vs Abzan Control (2-0): the game 1 take plenty of time about 30 or 25 minutes from the start of the game i'll cast a Pearl Lake Ancient and he gives me the game, in game 2 he keeps a "good" hand, but draw too late the white mana source.
Rond 3 Vs Abzan Control (1-1): same as the anterior round but the first game took more time, game 2 he threw me 3 Thoughtseize & 1 Duress, but mi top decking was helping me almost until the end when he beats me via elspeth emblem + 3 tokens on the last turn of the fifth extra turns, if was able to draw the fourth Radiant Fountain i would win ( i was in 8 life).

Round 2 Vs Jund Aggro 2-0
Game 1:Here Terminus on second Turn give me the match, my friend says you gonna waste that on this guy? a 2/2 Crackler. i respond yeah, this cost 6, if i dont do probabily i`m not gonna reach the 6 land. when i do the math i was correct that crackler would kill me :(.
Game:2 i remember something similar, turn 1 crackler pass, my turn turn one shock land, pay two life Dead Weight.

Having a white splash. For 2 reasons. First off, burning oil is actually a pretty decent card, it doesnt cost much, it kills most creatures, it has a decently low flashback. Its kinda like a geistflame for 1 more upfront mana, but that does triple the dmg.
Imo, its important to have this kind of stuff in the deck, because if you just rely on geistflame, and then super expensive sorceries (Sever, curse of deaths hold, blasphemous act, devil's play to a certain extent, ...), then you run the risk of just dying while holding a bunch of those expensive cards in your hand. And as far as cheap defensive options, well there isnt much else available. Imo, its also better than silent departure, because for the same total mana, you can kill 2 creatures instead of bouncing two creatures.
I like this idea, going to remove 2 Geistflame & 1 Silent Departure to see who it goes.
My idea is to side in 4 geist of st traft, and then possibly some invisible stalkers, some runechanter's pikes if we do side in invisible stalkers, and then even maybe some delvers?
i think the Geist idea as 4 is ok, putting Stalker + pike you going to need some numbers like 3 & 3 witch to my taste is to much.
Ill have to test it more exactly, but seriously, a controlish deck who just sided out rolling temblor and blasphemous act, but then faces a turn 3 geist of st traft is probably just going to start crying
yeah that's true, usually you side out all the sweppers if you dont see any creature other than snapy.
I was having some problem beating Hellrider with my last list so i decide to cut the Silent Departure for Brimstone Volley.
