Finally, I got to play this one on stream: www.twitch.tv/videos/23628...

A busted pool for sure, but I will note that The Jolly Balloon Man won me as many games as Onslaught and Overlord combined.

I also loved this build: I had a strong RG aggro deck in the pool, but I also had two Pyroclasms, so I decided to try that instead.

Two games ended when my opponent sacrificed Ghost Vacuum and lost immediately to Plague Wind (Overwhelming Forces, for the kids out there).

My sweetest deck was the very last one. I forced myself to play Collected Company as a challenge; I only drew it once, but it won the game instantly.

This was my best run in the event so far: 11 for 30 in winning boxes, including a few on stream. It was a great way to get back into Twitch, and I can't wait for the Aetherdrift version.

I did not expect to go undefeated when I died to Boltwave in my first match. (Opponent's deck was another hidden archetype: double Micromancer, double Boltwave, and Niv-Mizzet. Fortunately, they kept drawing those cards in the wrong order.)
