Round 9 - Dragonstorm - FinalsDragonstorm is a walk in the park, provided that he don't have an insane hand.
Game 1 - I got Double Marauders and a Sulfur Elemental beating him down while he tries to buy time with Gigadrowses, not good enough, Hammers and Char finish the job. Sided in LD package + Demonfires.
Game 2 - I kept applying pressure in LD his lands till he had to break and hard-cast Bogardan Hellkite with double Lotus Bloom, totally wiped out my team. EOT I Charred his face bringing him down to 3 life. He swings with Hellkite while I was drawing lands. But he stopped when I was at 8 life, fearing for Sulfur Elemental, which I had sided out. I topdecked, played the last land, and blast his face with a Hellbent Demonfire for 7, and that's 4 free session for Future Sight Prerelease.
Comments: I wouldn't have gone all the way without my teammates. My thanks to F3NIX and Ebichu-sama if they're reading this.
