Thoughts

I hate my starting split. Maybe the problem is, that I never played the black starter before and I just don’t know how to play with it yet. But drawing those interesting spells in my starting hand can’t be good

I don’t like starting with Jandra here, because he can force delay her death till Turn 3 or later and I can’t get much value out of my deck from the early game advantage and cannot play Demons as my Tech 1.

Option1: Orpal counters Mox & Nullcraft and is a decent threat against birds if he stays on board till turn 3. His deck isn’t particularly strong with birds anyway, I think, but having him should make it easier to plan ahead.

Option2: Graveyard. I’d like to go into T3 with Graveyard to replay Scribe/Tax Collector a few times. But he can answer with Rook+Fargo and I’d struggle to keep board presence, have to play enough T0 stuff, which he can then cheaply remove with Stewardess. So I’ll go with option 1.

OBJECTION: Orpal mid-band specifies non-demon unit. Dirty Thieving Imps are "Imp Demon"s

Oh I missed Nullcraft, when making my turn. If I had known how busy this week would be I’d have withdrawn from the tourney.
Since I’m away the next few evenings again and can’t play from work atm, I have to concede the game. But when I look at the gamestate you’d probably win it from here anyways.

sorry to hear that - hopefully things slow down for you. gg @EricF
