Match 1:

 

In the 1st match, I faced a forest deck.

 

By my 4th turn, I got my Lava Zombie out and attacking, but lost 1 life from mana burn. I won that battle with just my Lava Zombie because the opponent couldn't block with anyone or even attack! That's the luckiest I have ever been in a battle!

 

Results: 1-0

 

Match 2:

 

On my 6th turn, I tossed out the Magma Burst and did first 6, then 3,3, and 3 which got the plains deck down to 5 life. From there I sacrificed it and put out the Mire Kavu and on its turn two, I did 3, and then 4 on the next turn.

 

Record: 2-0

 

Match 3:

 

On the 7th turn, i got to finally use my Flametongue Kavu, and knocked out my opponents Razing Snidd. They were playing a swamp/mountain deck like me, but with different cards. I was down to 17 life from mana burn but that didn't stop me from pulverizing the opponent. I did 4 damage every turn I could until they were annihilated.

 

Record: 3-0

 

Final Tournament Score: I came in 3rd place, which got 6 free Planeshift booster packs.

 

1st Place: Michael Florenza

2nd Place: Tony Kavieranal

3rd Place: Me!
