So in event #2 today I took third (3-1). I basically played Esper flyers/control with two Woodland Cemeterys to splash for Tatyova, Benthic Druid. I was packing both Aryel, Knight of Windgrace and Josu Vess, Lich Knight (who I did manage to kick one game for the victory) alongside multiples of each of The Eldest Reborn, Cloudreader Sphinx, Academy Drake, Deep Freeze, and Aven Sentry. Also, flickering The Eldest Reborn with Sentinel of the Pearl Trident while the third trigger is on the stack is so broken. I only lost to the eventual winner who was running a good stuff deck that had bigger fliers (Lyra and multiple Serras)

A buddy of mine also went 3-1 with a voltron deck that centered around powering up Yargle, Glutton of Urborg, Kwende, Pride of Femeref, or Evra, Halcyon Witness with On Serra's Wings (he had 3), Dub, or Jousting Lance. He also ran a couple of Memorial to Folly and Tragic Poets to keep recurring his creatures and enchantments. It was by far the funniest/my favorite deck I have seen all weekend.
