Went 2/2
Game 1 2/1
Game 2 2/1
Game 3 1/2 just bad luck sorta with siding shenanigans
Game 4 I should have won but misplayed
Apparently with quicksilver amulet vs mutagenic growth when they drop elesh norn I have to respond before she becomes the target of quicksilver amulet

I'm under the assumption that qq means quit crying. Or something along those lines
So I figured I'd do it with emphasis
I think Jester means the quicksilver part.
And yes QQ is a way to say quit crying.

My results
M1 - 0/2
M2 - 2/1
M3 - 2/0
M4 - 1/2
M5 - 2/0
Finished 8th overall
Sorry what I mean is by the time elsh is the "chosen creature" if I have passed priority to activate anything to the ability of quicksilver itself.
The last two turns were this
1. Him: he plays quicksilver amulet
I choose not to respond with my counter spell
2. I has {corrupted resolve} and {mutagenic growth} [i cannot recall what I drew maybe lands, something meaningless]
He has 5 poison
I have a {plague stinger} equipped with {livewire lash}
I swing, and as I hold my {corrupted resolve} to pre-empt any thing stopping me, he activates {quicksilver amulet} in response to my attack. I announce I can't counter whatever it is so I pass priority.
Ironically It being {elesh norn grand cenobite} immediately kills {plague stinger} and leaving my {mutagenic growth} wasted
Had I played {mutagenic growth} in response to the activation of {quicksilver amulet} 's ability I would have spun 2 poison direct to him via {livewire lash} ability and the {plague stinger} would have hit for 3 in the air as it would have gone up to 5/3 but {elesh norn} only bringing it right back to 3/1 pushing 5 poison for game.
Namely the reason I held the counterspell vs the amulet was because there was already a elesh in the gy and I was worried about {Unburial rites} however I guess I should worry more about problems at hand instead
sigh.....
I see now. But you really couldn't have known that he was dropping an Elsh though. Right?
Nah just kinda sucked
Sadly, I wasn't able to go last night.
Never let quicksilver amulets through! They're just slightly clunkier {Elvish Piper}s, nothing good ever comes from them.
Had too sideboard 4 {doom blades} this kid had a crazy myr deck once he got out i think its name was battle sphere myr it was all over. The other one could have beat the guy but got mana screwed. I won two lost 2. Not too bad.
