Road to Kyoto '15 - 18/3/15

Went 2-2 yesterday, losing to RUG delver, the mirror and winning bant delver, burn.
In the RUG delver match, it ultimately came down to a Nimble Mongoose that I couldn't touch with my 2x Abrupt Decays and Disfigure (-_-") in hand.
In the mirror, I lost to Tasigur being hard to remove (as it should be - additional reason to play D. edict).
The final game came down to a delver and it not flipping but it did.

Following my premonitions on the previous day, I would replace Disfigure #2 with Diabolic Edict #2.

I am replacing a Tasigur with the 7 mana ugly angler fish delve 5/5 (I have no idea what it's called. The only copy I own is a foil Japanese version) to remove that slot's natural weakness to Karakas and its size can usually press down a 4/5 goyf. Its ability always seems to be non-trivial at most points so it might be negligible (or perhaps I'm not setting it up properly).

I have a Bitterblossom in place of delver #4 of which I cannot grasp the full effectiveness of.
Feels like it can give a huge edge in the mirror and RUG can't really deal with it as well.

I think Abrupt Decay #4 in the sideboard isn't really useful since it's a very marginal effect.
I wonder what good cards are in the new set. Perhaps I can work on the sideboard with cards from Dragons of Tarkir...
