I played a more updated list (see below) and it went very well. I went 3-0 in matches and 6-0 in games.<\/p>\n<p>Match 1 was vs <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a>. Game 1 he wiped out my board at 5 life but only got a single 3\/4 creature. I got a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Steel Overseer \">Steel Overseer <\/a>out and he suspended a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a> (I had a ton of creatures in the graveyard). He didn&#8217;t follow up by trying to beat me down while the <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a> ticked down. When the <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a> unsuspended, I got two <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Signal Pests\">Signal Pests<\/a>, an <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Etched Champion\">Etched Champion<\/a>, and a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Steel Overseer\">Steel Overseer<\/a> and he didn&#8217;t have any flying to block. Fin. I think he was hosed either way because I had two <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Steel Overseers\">Steel Overseers<\/a> growing themselves into giants and I was about to go on the offensive had he not played the <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Game 2 he mulliganed to 5 and I had two <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Arcbound Ravagers\">Arcbound Ravagers<\/a> out (making my team immune to <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a>). He tried to cascade into a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Living End\">Living End<\/a> but I <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Delay\">Delay<\/a>ed it for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Match 2 was vs U\/R Delver. Game 1 he got out <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Delver of Secrets\">Delver of Secrets<\/a> but never got a 2nd land. He kept digging for lands with <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Serum Visions\">Serum Visions<\/a> and thus I didn&#8217;t have to worry about combat tricks with <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Lightning Bolt\">Lightning Bolt<\/a>s. I ended it turn 4 with a fatal <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Inkmoth Nexus\">Inkmoth Nexus<\/a> swing for 10 by going all in on a Ravager.<\/p>\n<p>Game 2 he mulliganed to 5 and while he got some land, I was able to keep his board in check. <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Spell Snare\">Spell Snare<\/a> was nice vs a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Smash to Smithereens\">Smash to Smithereens<\/a>. I was able to eventually able to get two connections with an <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Inkmoth Nexus\">Inkmoth Nexus<\/a> armed with <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Cranial Plating\">Cranial Plating<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Match 3 was vs G\/B. Game one he wiped out three <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Steel Overseers\">Steel Overseers<\/a> and an <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Arcbound Ravager\">Arcbound Ravager<\/a> with <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Thoughtseize\">Thoughtseize<\/a>\/<a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Funeral Charm\">Funeral Charm<\/a>. I got a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Etched Champion\">Etched Champion<\/a> armed with 4x +1\/+1 counters and a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Cranial Plating\">Cranial Plating<\/a> and swung for the fences. I found out later he was playing 2 copies of <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Go for the Throat\">Go for the Throat<\/a> maindeck and had one in hand game one.<\/p>\n<p>Game two I got some damage in with an <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Etched Champion\">Etched Champion<\/a> and he drew 3x <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Dark Confidant\">Dark Confidant<\/a>s. It was over pretty fast because he drew none of his green creatures to try to race and died to his <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Dark Confidant\">Dark Confidant<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<p>Since I drew in the finals (we played for fun match 3) I only got 3 packs. The store wasn&#8217;t giving store credit instead of the packs so I got 3x M15 packs. Only valuable card was a <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Battlefield Forge\">Battlefield Forge<\/a> so I almost made my entry fee back. I also picked up the <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Whipflare\">Whipflare<\/a> and <a class=\"deckbox_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deckbox.org\/mtg\/Torpor Orb\">Torpor Orb<\/a> that I needed for the SB so I was down slightly for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Modern Robots v2:<\/p>\n<p>Artifacts (4):<br \/>\n4x <a
