Match 1: Burn. Lost game 1 because I didn't combo quickly enough. SB: -1 Ghost Quarter, -1 Smokestack, -1 Crucible, -2 Wasteland, +2 Decay, +2 Chalice, +1 Pyroclasm. Lost game 2 because I sideboard like shit and didn't keep in Wasteland. Wasteland is key in the matchup because it allows me to keep my damage from Price of Progress down. What I should have sideboarded is +2 Sphere of Resistance, +2 Trinisphere, +2 Abrupt Decay, -1 Smokestack, -1 Bojuka Bog, -1 something, etc.
Match 2: Bye.
Match 3: Maverick. Game 1: Lost to poor sequencing- didn't keep Punishing Fire open for Thalia with a Sword of Fire and Ice in play. Sideboarded: totally incorrectly. Game 2: Lost when a Knight of the Reliquary came into play. I didn't play around the Knight fetching a Bojuka Bog wiping out both of my engineered explosives (he had a sword in play) and losing me the game nearly instantly. Future sideboard plans when I cut the decay and the pyroclasm: +2 Krosan Grip, +3 Abrupt Decay, -1 Intuition, -1 Tropical Island, -1 Toliara West, -1 Smokestack, -1 something else.
