well this is my 1st report thing but i see allot of good ones liek the edison
nj one so i might as well post one of mine

my deck consisted mostly of
4 elvish archers
4 mog fanatics
4 mana leaks
3 manowars
2 fallen askari
4 birds of paradise
4 wildefire emmisaries
4 incinerates
2 shocks
4 kaerveks torchs
2 nettletooths
4 fireslingers
4 edicts

Land
4 cities
3 pools
5 forests
3 islands
4 gemstone mines
3 mountains

SB
4 glooms
3 perish
4 emerald charm
3 pyroblast
2 nevinyrals disks

there were 7 rounds and i was 5-2 i just missed qualifying in my opinion for
the nationals because i made a mistake and didnt take the paris mulligan

round 1 i was matched up against a person dat barely knew how to play he was
playing a red blue counter burn deck
but he always burned me during his turn and not at da end of my turn so he was
tapped out and not able to counter anything
after i won 2-0 in about 3 minutes (all the time for me to set da dice at life)
i taught him a little how to play
round 2 was a terrifying loss he played 1 spindrift drake 1st urn den in a
couple of turn with multiple mox diamons played cloud spirits and other cheap
sealed deck horros then rushed me and time warped and rushed again and time
warped again
the same was for game 2
round 3 was pathetic
he was playing a pure white deck
it was pathetic
consisting of kors and shadows liek soltari foot soldiers
i was so happy that i can play my glooms so i intenniionally lost the 1st game
so second game i sided in 4 glooms and took out the fallen askaris and 2 mog
fanatics
boy was i stupid i drew 2 moggfanaticsand 1 gemstone and 2 glooms
i was thinking ill play the 2 fanatics and wait for land to cast my gloom
i never drew a land
for 7 turns
sure i played 1 gloom
but at dat point it was no use so i lost dat one
round4 was against da fastest black deck i ever saw
1st game 1st turn swamp, ritual, ritual, pump up knight, 2sacromancy, cursed
scroll
i conceded without even going once
second game i got da 1st turn fanatic
then i shocked his sacromancy token
he was taking 3 everyturn
the i burned him for 6 with my torch
second game he took 6 paris mulligans den i being da nice guy sed lets play a
new game and pretend it never happened but ofcourse i wrecked him in about 6
turns he made da mistake of attackin with his token and me hitting it with a
fireslinger and blockign with a fanatic
round5 i played this pox deck gawsh he was stupied after he poxed first after
his life was reduced i burned him til death
second game after he poxxed twice i attacked with a wildfire and shot him with
a fireslinger
round 6 i had to play a friend of mine he was playign a scary white deck he
played a preist(un shockable!!) and put 2 armors on itif i never drew dat
manowar i wouldve lost
and game2 was just lucky
i drew 3 manowars and drew a 4th one next turn
he didnt stand a chance
round 7 was fun
1st game we both hit a land pocket and i drew a torch and burned him for 17
2nd game i sided in perishs he never expected i persished and attackw ith all
my redblue guys and den torched him

well i ended with a 5-2 tied for 10th position
if i took a paris in game2 of round 3 or if i just didnt lose on purpose i
couldve and woudlve qualyified
damn!
well thats the story from the NE regionals
peace!
