Decklist: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1534030#paper
Running it back from last week, when I got a 2-1 finish (plus a bye for overall 3-1)
Round 1 vs Adam on Jund (0-2, 0-1)
Both games basically just lost to maindeck Kalitas. I was able to remove Scavenging Oozes.
Round 2 vs Brad on 4C Bridgevine (2-0, 1-1)
Unfortunately for Brad, I know what he's on and he mulligans 3 times over the course of our 2 games. He doesn't have any explosive starts, and I'm able to fill up the board and block for days. My GQs and FoRs were pretty good, since he only played two basics.
Round 3 vs Matt on Hollow One (2-1, 2-1)
Took me by surprise seeing him on Hollow One.
Game 1 I put up some blockers but recursive Flamewake Phoenixes/Bloodghasts apply enough pressure for a huge Flameblade Adept to finish me.
Game 2 I think he turn 1 Hollow One'd, and I Surgical'd a Phoenix, also seeing 2 EEs and 2 Grim Lavamancers in the deck. Turn 2 I drop my Wheel of Sun and Moon, leaving me in comfortable ahead to win the game over the next ten turns.
Game 3 goes long, but I'm able to get off some decent double blocks and repeated lifegain to stay in the game. Kitchen Finks MVP
Round 4 vs John G on Jund (2-0, 3-1)
Game 1 I have "early aggression" (read: Lone Missionary into Blade Splicer). His Dark Confidant betrays him, flipping Scavenging Ooze, Tarmogoyf, and BBE, which leaves him at 1 against my miscellaneous creatures.
Game 2 he gets off double Anger of the Gods, but I'm able to consistently push damage with 1/1 fliers.
Compared to my round 1 Jund matchup, he wasn't able to stick Scooze/Kalitas and that made all the difference.
Overall: Happy with the deck, maybe should have been more restrained with Path to Exiles in round 1 (fired them off vs Scooze instead of later Kalitas).
