Fun time, really glad to make it and meet the locals.
I’ll have to play more of a brew next time.

Thanks to @mediumsteve for organizing and to @nartman99 for doing the write up! I had great fun. I think I was 9th? at 2-3. I played this Aperture Science List:
Aperture Science - (2-3) 1 Mana Vault 1 Coveted Jewel 1 Oracle's Vault 4 Helm of Awakening 4 Grim Monolith 1 Future Sight 4 Forbidden Orchard 1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Blightsteel Colossus 1 Lotus Petal 1 Black Lotus 1 Ancestral Recall 1 Mana Crypt 1 Memory Jar 1 Merchant Scroll 4 Mishra's Workshop 1 Mox Emerald 1 Mox Jet 4 Mox Opal 1 Mox Pearl 1 Mox Ruby 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Paradox Engine 4 Paradoxical Outcome 1 Ponder 3 Sensei's Divining Top 1 Sol Ring 1 Temporal Aperture 1 Tezzeret the Seeker 1 Time Vault 1 Time Walk 1 Timetwister 1 Tinker 1 Tolarian Academy 2 Voltaic Key 2 Spire of Industry 1 Azor's Gateway SIDEBOARD 1 Dragon Breath 1 Sorcerous Spyglass 1 Chain of Vapor 3 Nature's Claim 1 Hurkyl's Recall 2 Tormod's Crypt 1 By Force 1 Defense Grid 4 Oath of Druids
Coveted Jewel was pretty fun, only got to play it once. I think that tapping for a lot of colored mana and drawing 3 was pretty good.
I lost mainly due to never actually casting PO. Had a blast! Also thanks to @Prkchpsndwiches for an epic game of "Who's got an Emrakul now?"
