I was piloting UB Faeries deck (i called it UB Fa3). After hours of practice at Melvyn house, i finally know how the deck works and able to control it. Here's a short recap of the tourney ...

Round 2: vs. Reanimator (Vinvent Gan)
Match 1 - my opponent board control with Makeshift Mannequin and Cairn Wanderer. Match 2 - i manage to board control till the end and hit his live to 2 but Cairn Wanderer hit the board, there's nuttin i can do about it. Game: 1-1

Round 3: vs. Mono-G Elf Warrior (some chinese dude)
Match 1 - He mulligan down to 5 cards and stuck with 2 lands all the way. Match 2 - my turn to mulligan as well, he has lands with some creature and keep on taking damages from Bitterblossom. I board control with 3 Cryptic Command on 3 turns. Game: 2-1

Round 4: vs. Reveillark Control

Match 1 - Mulligan down to 5, did not have a good draw. Match 2 - same thing happen, mulligan again and did not have turn 2 Bitterblossom. I scoop. Game: 2-2

Round 5: vs. UB Rogue Faeries (Hari's friend)
Match 1 - My oppenent lands screwed and I just beat him down with my creatures. Match 2 - His turn to beat me down with all rogue faeries and he gain board control. Match 3 - He got many lands but his creature decided to take a break. Game: 3-2

Round 6: vs. Dragonstorm (Joe Lin)
Match 1 - this was very fast, my Bitterblossom cam in turn 2 and beatdown all the way. Match 2 - this match i made mistake, he cast 2 Rites of Flame and I did not bother to counter it, and when he played Dragonstorm, I countered the Dragonstorm but the storm effect let him play 3 Bogardan Hellkite. Match 3 - I did not have any cards to countered his Dragonstorm .. nuff said. Game: 3-3

So .. my final score is 3 win, 3 losses. To me, its an improvement .. all thanks to Melvyn, Cass and Win, who help me practice. Thanks guys.
