Pro Tour Yokohama 2007 (I think; it was TSP block constructed) I started 7-0 but lost the last round of the day. In great shape, I eventually go on a sour run in the middle of the second day to eliminate myself from top 8 contention. Last round of the tournament I'm playing Hall of Famer Tsuyoshi Fujita with the monoblue beatdown deck I lost to early in the tournament, but this time I know how to approach the matchup.

He nuts me game 1, but I get him back game 2. Game three he keeps his opener after some deliberation. I have to throw mine back. I then draw 7 (it was a long weekend), which he obviously snap-called me on, so I went to 5. Then to 4, where I saw: Stormbind, Harmonize, Harmonize, Search for Tomorrow. I know my best cards in the matchup are Stormbind and Harmonize, and I have enough land of the right type in the deck to make this happen, so I keep. Obviously peel a Forest on turn 1 to suspend my Search. He is doing nothing in the meantime, and I draw my second land, a Mountain. Third turn my Search unsuspends (which I think he should have Canceled if he had it), I find my third land and then draw my 4th, but he Cancels my Harmonize. I untap and Harmonize again, which resolves, and now I know he doesn't have anything, so my Stormbind resolves next and he just scoops after he realizes that I'm willing to move all-in on Stormbind. I end up 15th place for $4000 :).

Let's promise ourselves that next August we'll listen to that voice in our head about whatever card is clearly going to rule next season.
