Well first of all, i must apoligize to you all, i was unable to write down pick by pick. i was also very poor on taking notes on my opponents decks, but i do have my decklist and some sideboard discisions that got me 1st place this week. :)

i actually had 4 wilds but i only sides the 4th in when i made a Pelakka wurm splash so i has more beef and some life gain. There was also a match where i sided in white for a mammoth umbra so i could swing faster and bigger to get around a wall deck.
I know that dormant gomazoa and the crab umbra is a horrible combo but it actually worked and the umbra also went on tuskcaller to save her and sped up the elephant production. but heck i loved when i could go turn three 5/5 flyer and teh swing it next turn with crab umbra, i also had the 2 skyscouts which helped untap it.
I also knew that "shift" was a great offense card but i had no idea that on defense it was great as well i played sometimes just to off set a broodwarden so my opponent had no army to attack with.
i first picked the manticore pack one pick one and unknown to me at the time, the guy to my right had picked karagan dragonlord and the guy to my left first picked Sarkan the mad so i noticed that 5 picks in the red was dried up so i grabed blue planning to go red+blue but then noticed no red again but i got passed the warcaller and tehn 3 wilds in a row. so i went with it. then i noticed that blue was wide open and red was kinda dead. I also noticed that some people under vaule unifed will and Eel umbra so i took advantage.
