If you don't, just be careful about what you put into play, try to hold enough land back to Demonic Dread the following turn. Against Thopter Sword, Faerie Macabre is your friend, as you can pitch it to disrupt their combo a bit (they'll either sac their Foundry or let the Sword go away, depending on their hand). Have LD available (you might want to make room for Avalanche Riders in the board again) and don't be afraid to just run your guys out there without comboing. Thought Hemorrhage can be good if it resolves too.

I just need to know how to side board against decks like hypergenesis and thopter control. I would love to get an envelope out of this season but Im more concerned with gaining Points in constructed to qualify for Bolivian Nats. So what are your sugestions.

But I won't necessarily be able to get a draw from the 2-1-1 players if I get paired down. It's a moot point, though, since I got paired up. No, everyone below the top 7 there was 2-2 or worse.

Those Round 4 standings look like you're a lock for T8 with a draw as long as you don't get paired down, unless there are many more 2-1-1's. Huh?
