Top 4: vs gravekeeper
3 of us wanted to do a top 4 split but this guy didn't so we had to keep playing.
Game1: a grind game, he had answers to my plays and I had answers to his until he flipped spy and got decendant and I lost.
Game2: another grind game but i summon trish then double edge( I used mst on his necrovalley) and gradually won.
Game3: Another grind game this one took forever but he gradually got more card advantage on me and won.

Result of Tourney: Top 4 finish

Notes: Pretty good finish I just wish that we could have split but oh well, i still don't like playing with sams it is just that i feel that since I spent money on the deck that I will use it but only till the format is over. Thanks for reading!
