Q-ed for a PTQ!!!

So I was bouncing off doing Legacy and Modern DEs (less inclined for Modern) and I noticed that there were these PTQ qualifiers going on. I mapped out the ones I could play in without going the extra mile and figured that I would want to try playing in a PT at some point in my life so I might as well try grinding some of these.

I went 4-1 and am qualified to play in a PTQ (limited) and need to place top to qualify for the PT.

To be honest, this is my first sealed outside prerelease and I have not once drafted the set since I don't do much limited nowadays anymore.

However, I still have in me ingrained years of experience of playing limited and am no slouch when it comes to playing sealed. (Drafting is a different beast altogether)

So I played all my bombs, have good creatures, removals and drew first when I could.

The 2GG 5/4 that gives haste is the nuts. I've had my Elder dragon swinging out on turn 6 with haste thanks to him. My Elder dragon is a frigging 5/7 flying lifelink with built-in Defence Grid to stop my opponent's combat tricks. How awesome is that?

I did make a few blunders that cost me my loss from not knowing exactly what my cards did.

Like in one game, I had Foul Removal but I was under the impression that it gave -x/-x based on the converted mana cost until I cast it and failed to kill the thing I was trying to kill and then realized it gave -x/-x based on the card's toughness.
I also thought that bolster gave counters based on power rather than toughness until I cast my 5 mana bolster dude and realized that it was counting toughness instead.

In any case, below is my final moment that came from a turn 2 Soul Summons into my 2GG green Fires of Yavimaya that dominated the game with its hasty badassness, 

Next up, to win the PTQ!
