Iulus (Gb Ramp) 1 - 2 Piepser (5c Oath)
G1 - First game wasn`t very interesting. I found nothing with value (maybe 1 missplay on my side) and lulus won.
1-0
G2 - We both kept a slow hand. I countered his second turn ramp spell und played t4 oath of druids (using Muddle the Mixture t3). The next turn i casted Nahiri. He played Primal Command (Bounce Nahiri and searched for Reclamation Sage). I played nahiri again. In his next turn lulus played reclamation sage, destroying oath, and Expedition map with Thespian`s Stage in play. On my turn i played Sundering Titan which returned oath into play and nahiri went to 8 counters. At the end of my turn lulus searched his library for dark depths and played it in his next turn and passed. I used nahiri`s ultimate and searched for Emrakul. Then i attacked with him and titan. Lulus made a Marit Large Token and had to sacrifice the rest of his board. He Blocked titan. In my secand main phase i casted Terminus. 2 turns later lulus conceeded.
1-1
G3 - Game 3 was realy close. Wo both had a good start. After a few turns i had dark depths and stage in play while lulus had wasteland and a stage too. End of my turn lulus wanted to destroy my stage with wasteland. In response i wanted to make a marit large token while lulus copied my depths. Unfortunately for him he passed his next turn because he couldn`t attack for lethal damage. I played an end of turn spinhx revelations. In my turn i played Rune-scared Demon for path to exile. I exiled his marit large token and attacked with my.
1-2
Thx for the good games!!

Report follows
Firestarter (Academy)- Tazi (Scapeshift) 2-0
Reports follow
In Game 1 I had a strong Hand with 2nd turn Academy and some Artifacts. He wasted my Academy but not before I played several Mana Stones.
I played more Artifactmana and a Scroll Rack witch gave me more options.
Next Turn I played Demonic Tutor for Rings of Brighthearth, he played Mystical for Force of Will, but decided not to force it.
With infinite Mana i played Mind Stone for 2 cards and found brainstorm. He countered my Memory Jar, I Timetwister and got of with Staff of Domination.
We both took mulligan to 6. I had Academy in Hand with no other land, he didn´t have much mana either and no pressure.
He played Demonic for Wasteland. He countered some Manastones and played Kodamas Reach. Next turn he could play Titania, Protector of Argoth, but I found Ancient Tomb and Timetwister. After my Winter Orb and some Turns he played Vendilion Clique end of my draw and I could win with Memory Jar into some Mana and Upheaval.
Thanks for the Games!
derStefan82 BUG-Combo 2 - Vazdru Scapeshift 0
new parings have been announced by hitman yesterday (see first post)
TaZi - Vazdru 1:1
first part:

tbc
g3:
After free mull i keep: Forest, Valakut, Deathrite Shaman, Gitaxian Probe, Sakura Tribe Elder, Tarmogoyf and Bring to Light. 18 lp-> Gitaxian Probe reveals 3 lands, Kodamas reach, Jace TMS, Lightning Bolt + Clutch.
I draw U-Sea from Probe and play Shaman which got boltet. T2 i drop a 3/4 Tarmogoyf and start beating. He can ramp but I add Yavimaya Elder for further damage. When he was on 10 lp he can assemble combo for next turn kill. But I've had Lightning Bolt eot -> 7 lp, play Mystical for Chain Lightning in upkeep, shoot him to 4 lp and attack with Goyf and Elder for leathal.
dsck (RUGb Scapeshift) 2-1 Iulus (BG Elves)
G1 I build mana fast but I dont find combo fast enough, especially when he gained 5 life and put 1 of my lands on top of my library with Primal Command and I needed 1 more turn because of that (I had valakut in play and Vesuva in hand so I would have had lethal after I played vesuva as my 8th land and scapeshifted for 6 mountains). He killed me with Decimator of the Provinces :(
G2 I control his board while Flametongue Kavu bashes each turn with burn to finish him off.
G3 Both mull to 6, I have Fire // Ice and Arc Trail + some counters but he doesnt play any mana elves and I get ahead on board with Titania while my counters slow him down.

dsck (RUGb Scapeshift) 2-1 DerStefan82 (BUG Oath + other combos)
G1 I had Venser and Repeal he didnt know about and he tried to Dark Depths me out turn 4 or 5.
G2 I needed to draw 1 land or blue card for FOW for the win, I didnt and lost to Dark Depths / Spell snare that countered my Ice for his only blocker.
G3 We trade some counters and my Personal Tutor into Scapeshift without protection wins
Payron - firestarter ID
TaZi - Iulus ID
Piepser (5c Oath) – Vazdru (UGrb-Scapeshift)
g1: he started with nice hand: Ponder, Oath, Karakas, Island, Vulcanic Island, Nahiri and Mystic Confluence. I have 4 lands, Preordain, Arc Trail and Izzet Charm. He adds T2 Oath. I have Farseek. T3 he suspends Vision, I have Tribe-Elder (sacc). He draws Mana Drain and Demonic. When I try to attack with Raging Ravine he plays Confluence for bounce + 2 cards, i counter with Izzet Charm. Next turn i attack for 5 dam with Ravine (he was down to 10). I attack for 6 and play Bolt (witness in hands) so he was down at 1. He plays Demonic Tutor for Wasteland and Wargate for Zuran Orb. I play Intuition for combo but he has still Mana Drain + Force of Will. I was still able to have him sacc some lands, but he has Crucible already so it was hard work to bring him down to zero. Treetop Village got wasted and he can protect Nahiri so he ultimates for Emrakul and won.
g2: he has Exploration T1, we have both T2 Sylvan Library, from that point on i draw 3 cards each turn till i was in burn range. In the end he lost because he revealed Emrakul dredging LftL with Wasteland in gy and so i can assemble combo for the win.
g3: epic one...I have Nissa, Vastwood Seer T3. My Sylvan Library got Abrupt Decayed. He has Maze. My Mystical Teachings were countered by Muddle the Mixture. He thoughtseize my own Abrupt Decay as he had no permanents but lands. At this point I've had 6 lands in game and 3 lands in hand (+ Nissa on board), he had 6 lands (one of it maze) and Sun Titan, Rune-Scarred Demon + Spell Pierce in hand. I misplayed Intuition somehow. When i've had Scaepshift-Combo ready he had Dark Depth's Combo ready (Thespian Stage in game, Crop Rotation in hand). To survive he had to Crop Rotate on Glacial Chasm to prevent damage of Scapeshift. Fortunatly i Scapeshift for 8 lands and took Wasteland too. So Nissa ultimated, untapped Wasteland, killed Chasm and I attacked with 3 6/6 for leathal damage.

Modus: Swiss-Rounds best-of-three, play-offs best-of-five
Higher Swiss Standing chooses the starting player in g1 in play-offs.
Firestarter vs dsck 3-1
Payron (Azorius Control) vs Vazdru (UGrb Scapeshift)
g1: he starts with Preordain and 2 lands and screwed, i can curve out with following starting hand: Serum Visions, Spell Pierce, Nature's Lore, Nissa, Treasure Cruise, Scapeshift and one land :D he do not use Mental Misstep for Preordain and i get Probe + lands from the Top. Probe got countered. I have Force of Will for his True-Name Nemesis and can combo with 7 lands + Remand-Backup because he already lost 3 lp to Misstep + one fetchland
g2: a well-timed Back to Basics locked me out of this game
g3: I start with Lumbering Falls, Misty Rainforest, Merchant Scroll, Brainstorm, Kitchen Finks, Intuition and Eternal Witness. Merchant Scroll for Force of Will while he had Jace, Vryn Prodigy. Vendillion Clique faced Restoration Angel on his side. My Intuition pile was Snapcaster, Titania and Skyshroud claim, which I've got. I have Mana Drain for his Sword of Feast and Famine and then Skyshroud Claim + Eternal Witness for Snapcaster Mage. My Fact or Fiction revealed Ponder+Three Visits+Island vs Flametongue Kavu+Forest. Flametongue Kavu got Forced (pitch Cryptic Command) and I don't Force back (would have to pitch Snapcaster). I play Snapcaster for Merchant Scroll for Mystical Tutor. We have some counter war and play a while from the top while I've had Lumbering Falls as attacker. In the end I find Scapeshift and won.
tbc
g4: we played this game today, i kept 5 lands, Mental Misstep + Gitaxian Probe on the draw. He mulled to 6 and keeps 2 lands, Ponder, Mana Leak, Treasure Cruise and Batterskull. I draw Preordain which reveals Jace TMS and Izzet Charm which both stays on the top. His Ponder gets countered by Misstep. We have some draw-gos + land drops. I let him counter my Courser just to play Nissa Turn after. His Cryptic Command got countered by Izzet Charm. Crucial turn is when he plays Dragonlord Outai. I have Venser and bounce it. Attack with Nissa+Venser, play 7th land, flip Nissa, play Jace TMS -> Brainstorm, Nissa reveals Wasteland, kill one of his lands :D He can Treasure Cruise in his turn but board was filled by my planeswalker, manlands (Raging Ravine), critters (GSZ for Titania :D) and he isn't able to handle this somehow.
