Thanks to Mako for the good games, and I wish her luck in the rest of the tourney.
Game 1:
Mako has this log, it was fairly short...i made a critcal early mistake, playing Soltari Priest over Winter Orb when she had only 1 blue, and Orb is Drained Next turn, pays for Masticore, who makes quick work of both my creatures and me.
Game 2:
Sided in 1 Abeyance, 3 Null Rod, for 1 Geddon, 1 Chant, 1 Time Walk, 1 Mox Diamond
A quick null rod for me ensures that my critters deal the requisite damage before Mako pulls white mana for Balance.
Game 3:
Same sideboard
A close match that easily could have gone either way...i'll let the log tell the tale.
