After the deckswap, I was relatively happy, because the cards given to me were acceptable to make a 2 color deck. It came with removal, creatures with evasion, and utility all within 2 colors.

Deck 1: U/B 44 cards ( I always play a few over)
8x Island
10x Swamp
1x Rites of Refusal
1x Dreamwinder
1x Syncopate
1x Escape Artist
1x Ęther Burst
1x Aven Smokeweaker
1x Cephalid Looter
1x Cephalid Illusionist
1x Cephalid Sage
1x Churning Eddy
2x Obsessive Search
1x Liquify
1x Deep Analysis
1x Whispering SHade
1x Laquatus's Champion
1x Frightcrawler
1x Screams of the Damned
1x Faceless Butcher
1x Chainer's Edict
1x Cabal Surgeon
1x Sickening Dreams
1x Cabal Tourturer
1x Gloomdrifter
2x Crippling Fatigue
1x Waste Away

Round 1: A teenage looking person that is on the Pro Tour playing UR (0-0)

Game 1:
We both get out a few quick creatures, immediately dispatching each other's threats. I play an early Cephalid Illusionist, and it gets targeted twice, giving me quick Threshhold. He gets out a Skywing Aven, and after a few hits by it, I finally manage to get out a Aven Smokeweaver. I then topdeck a Frightcrawler and proceed to kill him with it. He accounted the loss to him "grabbing the wrong cards from his stack for his deck".

Game Two:
I draw 2 counter magic cards, a Rites of Refusal and a Syncopate. I also draw the Aven Smokeweaver, and some blockers, and ping him down to 6. He trys to cast a targeted spell, I ask him what he is targeting. He replies "So it makes it to play?". I said tried to explain that when you cast a targeted spell, you have to declare the targets. He is insulted. Anyway, I topdeck the Laquatus's Champion, he reads it, then looks at me and scoops.

Round 2: A RGW deck (1-0)

Game 1:
He mulligans, I keep. I go first, and play an Obsessive Search. Soon, we got into a creature lock, (bummer). I had, yet again, the Smokeweaker Aven, and some black ground defense. I draw the Gloomdrifter, and after looking at his creatures and seeing only 1 had toughness more then 2, decided I needed to figure out how to get threshhold. With 3 cards in the graveyard, I cast Chainer's Edict on myself (heh), and said go. During his turn, I killed his guy with more then 2 toughness with a Waste Away, leaving me with Threshhold and 1 card in hand. I cast the Gloomdrifter, and he scoops.

Game 2:
Not much to say, I got an early Champion out and beat him to death with it.

Round 3: I hate playing against this person, he is just too lucky. GU deck(2-0)

Game 1:
I get no land, mulligan, then get 2 land and keep. I didn't draw any land after that, and preceed to get spanked.

Game 2:
I get land, but his luck comes again. He gets me to 3 before I finally stabilize, and he has no cards in hand. I play Laquatus's Champ, bringing him to 10. He immediately topdecks a Soul Scourge. I roll my eyes.

Round 42-1) Playing against a RB deck

Game 1:
I draw a few early threats, but the other person got an insane amount to removal. I manage to keep his creatures off the table with Edict, Crippling Fatigue, etc. Eventually, he gets a fatty out that I can't deal with, and I can't keep anyhting on the board. We go to game 2.

Game 2:
We both race out early threats, beating on each other, until we were both under 10 life, when we started being cautious. He topdecks a Demoralize and rushes in unblocked, bringing me to 3. Then he casts Sonic Seizure on me.

Flight 1: 2-2
I was pretty happy with that score, this was the first major tournament I've played in, and many of the people there were pros.

There's no way he's on the pro tour if he's THAT bad... =/
