   The tutor into duress was a great play I liked it, I agree with it, and I was impressed by it. Nice job!

   A little bit of tilting match one, game two? You tutor for your third land with Sylvan Ranger and then don’t even consider playing it on your third turn. You also die to superior board position with multiple removal spells still in hand. I’m not saying you could have won, but it seemed like you stopped trying as hard when you didn’t draw a land turn three.

   not playing the 3rd land wasn’t intentional. I straight up forgot about it. If Garruk wasn’t in play I would have put up more of a fight, but I die to overrun in that situation.
