If you went into the system at 0-1 by the second round, you will have been paired against opponents who also went 0-1. So you had an easier ride than the people who got the 4-0s.
Mistakes happen. Really not a big deal.
So I'm pretty sure you'd love to waste 4+ hours thinking you were doing really well in the prerelease, but get boned at the very end because of something that was not your fault.
The best you can do is try to negotiate some in between compensation. Depending on the prize out, try to ask the store owner for about 1/2 to 1/4 of what 2nd got.
I built this deck, but I need some help with what to board in and out against certain matchups that run rampant in my local meta. Could someone help with board against American Angels (1x Baneslayer, Restoration Angels, Helix, Bolt, etc), Goblins, Burn, and some random Argentum Armor Quest decks. Thanks!
Yeah, when I tested a Bloodhall Jund deck on Cockatrice, I found that Bloodhall Ooze is clunky and slightly slow (seriously, when it has to be buds with only Liliana of the Veil, it grows pretty slowly).
However, one of the strongest starts Bloodhall Jund can have is nearly the above:
Turn 1 targeted discard
Turn 2 Deathrite + Bloodhall
Turn 3 Active Deathrite + 3/3 Bloodhall + More to come?
This start is pretty strong against a threat-heavy and removal-light hand (even Jund has those hands sometimes).
I've found that Bloodhall Jund is more aggressive and has a better time against RG Artifact Tron than regular Jund or Spirit Jund (Putrid Leech and most Bloodhalls don't die to Pyroclasm, Bloodhall can get bigger than Goyf).
Bloodhall Jund in my playtesting has gone very well against RG Tron matchups for me too. Getting the early Bloodhall has increased the aggro speed Jund needed against RG Tron. Also, Bloodhall Oozes are spiking for some reason. Is it because of the recent top 8 in the online Modern?
So I'm pretty sure you'd love to waste 4+ hours thinking you were doing really well in the prerelease, but get boned at the very end because of something that was not your fault.

What do you side out for the transformational sideboard?
