My Deck from the Regionals

This is my Deckist for the Regionals:

Main Deck – 64 Cards

Lands – 24 cards
13 Forest
10 Island
1 Moonring Island

Creatures – 18 cards
2 Duskdale Wurm
3 Gilt-Leaf Seer
4 Jhessian Infiltraitor
4 Lorescale Coatl
1 Murkfiend Liege
2 Nulltread Gargantuan
2 Wistful Selkie

Other Spells – 22 cards
4 Aggressive Urge
2 Earthbrawn
2 Fistful of Force
2 Giant Growth
4 Invert the Skies
4 Monstrify
4 Wings of Velis Vel

Sideboard – 15 cards
2 Cold-Eyed Selkie
2 Courier's Capsule
4 Gleeful Sabotage
1 Primal Rage
2 Shorecrasher Mimic
2 Tideshaper Mystic
4 Winged Coatl

The origional idea was that many of the cards would interact with Lorescale Coatl, producing one (or four) hell of a big creature, that I could power up even more and cast a final Invert the Skies. Of course, that idea was shoved backwards a bit to make way for "big creatures that get even bigger", and I eventually put the Jhessian Infirtraitors in because of the unblockable-ness and the massive amount of growth spells this deck has.

Here's how it did on the day:

Match 1: vs Red-Black Burn - 2-0 to him

Match 2: vs Red-White Kithkin - 2-1 to him

Match 3: vs Red-Green Beatdown - 2-0 to him

Match 4: vs White-Green Beatdown - 2-0 to him

Match 5: vs Jund Beatdown - 2-0 to him

Match 6: vs Green-White tokens - 2-0 to him

Match 7: vs Black-White tokens - 2-0 to him

Why such poor results? Two words: creature removal. Everyone else was playing it, I wasn't. Oh well, guess I missed my shot at Worlds. Maybe next year...
