Thank you guys for making this event a big success

round 1: vs. Neil using Gruul won 2-1
game 1 unopposed third turn assembly of time vault + key
game 2 my opening hand gave me a fire/ice and a smother but with no black mana source. i manage to slow his creature by fire/ice, tinker for inkwell but was met by a vialed - Thornweald Archer, from there on tarmo and friends join the punch.
game 3 the pyroclasm i borrowed from ariel nets me the game. again i was denied of black mana but managed to win!

round 2: vs. ____ using mono red burn 2-0
game 1 tinker for inkwell for the win

round 3: vs. Jesse Moralina using ANT 2-0
game 1: turn 1 island + mox sapphire. with enough protection, i was able to assemble the two artifacts
game 2: again turn 1 island + mox sapphire. my sensei divining top gave me good cards! we we're draw-go for a few turns while i was quietly assembling vault+key.
