What's wrong with my formating?
you make paragraphs shorter than the page width

Sorry, been on a cruise ship. I'm back, got a 6 hour flight back to DC today (more like 9 hours due to jet lag) but tomorrow I can play.

GameGeek wins 2-1. Game2 should've been mine.
p.s. I'm assuming this is single elim. Let me know. I'll post my list if it is.

Defeated iamajellydonut in 3 games.
Game 1 I mulled to 6 (opener had all basics, I basically had 5 cards) and couldn't hit my second land. 2 Ancestrals weren't enough time against Bitterblossom and some beaters.
Game 2 is very exciting, he Crimes me early and I counter a few dudes. I go to 7 and trade Clique for Bob, snaring a Pulse. I hold back my fetching for green as I might draw a Path, but I got a Goyf, and went to 4 on fetch+shock, as he had a Mutavault. His Sprite gets my visions and I look like I'm in trouble, as I munch a mutavault and go to 2. Sandbagging 2 Explosives, I play the first one at 1 to kill his essence Warden, bash with goyf for 6 and lay a second one to stop his fresh mutavault. I go to 1, he's at 13 so I bash with 2 7/8 Goyfs, forcing him to chump with Mutavault and go to 6. I then blow up the Sprite, and am left with 1 card to his none. He topdecks a goyf, but my last card, a Spell Snare, takes care of it. I rip a land, he rips a Bitterblossom. I rip a Goyf. He chumps for a few turns, and rips land and Crimes me a bunch, but Goyf gets there.
Game 3 is fairly straightforward, we both go to low cards as he crimes me. I stop a Goyf with a Snare and drop a Clique, and get him to 9 with it, outracing his Warden. His Thoughtseizes take my counters, but I land a Finks, and his Bitterblossom isn't good enough with him on 6 and with 1 dude to block.
Interesting deck, but what is Essence Warden for? Synergy with Bitterblossom? Seems win-more to me, I'd rather have Finks.
Enigmata, if you need my list, ask.

Indeed. (on the games)
As for the Warden, Bitterblossom+Confidant+Fetches+Shocks takes a lot of life obviously, so I needed life. I was originally going a Finks+others route, but their CC was too high, the double  was a pain in the ass (usually requiring at least 1xShock, negating the lifegain), and hitting it with Bob was just too much to handle.
Essence Warden was cheap, gained life from both sides, worked amazingly with Bitterblossom, and other such shenanigans.

This is swiss, 4 rounds, rather than single elim. Single elim is almost never fun because matchups are always an issue. I figure 3-1 or 3-0-1 or something can make T8 no problem. Maybe even 2-1-1, but don't quote me there.
Beat stewieY 2-0.
So when UR Delver came out to win a GP, did Christian Calcano email/call you and thank you personally, or was there just a mutual understanding?
Legitimately laughed at this...haha
No kidding. +1 internets for a hidden gem in the standard deck help.
