Game 3 - LOSS
Expected SoSac from him, was too lazy to significantly modify my round 1 deck. Mark purify would have been a better choice, but whatever. Would have won if i drew my lone purify.

Game 4 - WIN
Dims pretty much countered him here, but he drew 3 early poisons, so it was somewhat close.

Had an early reflective so Deuce gave me the win. Only afterwards I noticed that my deck had one too many entropy cards.

Bold choice since I expected a water based deck. Fortunately though his purify was hiding so I could take the win.

I admit, this deck choice was stupid against 90% likelyhood of psions. Got hammered, might have stood a chance if I could draw a 3rd thunderstorm.

Good games and good luck for the rest of the tourney.
