Vazdru (Sultai Combo Oath) - K0d013e4st (RDW)

G1:I won the the Roll and start with figure which he countered with misstepp.
   I wasted his Usea and added a Goblin Guide.
   T3 he Spell Snared my Eidolon
   He didnt find a answer for my goblin guide.so he had to play Damnation for my Creatures
   (added a cackler one round before).But he was on 6 so my direct Damage won me the Game.

G2:We both mulled to 6. I hold Mountain/Wasteland Hand. He Starts with Dark Ritual into Hymn
   and hits my Mountain. I didnt draw a Mountain for the next few turns. After he added oath
   and 5 Lands in play i conceed

G3:I got him very fast to 1 Life (with Mishara in Play) He had a Wasteland for my Mishra with allrdy
   a Lili in Play + counter for my last Burn Spell.The Next Round he tutored for Zuran Orb.
   I added a Cursed Scroll which was perfect when i would drew some useless Mountains.
   But i just draw haste creatures and burn spells so i won in the long run because he didnt found any way
   to turn the Game into his favor.

Thanks for the Games!

Iulus (Gw-Eldrazi-Stompy) inspired by Maqi https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOyEZ3Xw2acB4bK2eCWcSW5WEZzQqZagV
Payron (Reanimator)

g1: Payron won the roll and has to go down to 6 and keeps a one-lander. Iulus started with Dryad Arbor which got bolted. Payron added Wasteland to Volcanic Island and played Merchant Scroll for Mystical Tutor T2. Iulus played Eldrazi Temple. As Payon had also only two lands he denied to waste the Temple and countered Iulus' T3 Voyaging Satyr with Spell Snare. Now Payron's hand looked like: Mystical, Woodfall Primus, Rune-Scarred Demon, Grave Titan and Iona !! which would have probably gg when hitting the board. Iulus played T4 Selvala, Payron eot Tutor for Faithless Looting. Looting found Drowned Catacombs but Sphinx of Uthuun instead of a reanimation spell which was badly needed. Iona + Demon went to gy. Iulus played Scavenging Ooze which ended in Payron's concession.

g2: Payron played Gemstone Mine T1 and Thoughtseized himself: Woodfall Primus to gy, Revealing Dance of the Dead + 2 Islands + Linvala, the Preserver. Iulus kept hand with 4 lands, voyaging Satyr, Into the North and Scavengiung Ooze after Freemulligan. Fortunately for Iulus he had a Fetchland T1, which made Payron slowplay T2 and waiting for another. Payron found Fecthland for Badlands and played Duress and got Into the North as only target and then added Woodfall Primus but as Iulus had 2 fetchlands Primus couldn't attack Iulus manabase which would have probably gg in this situation. So T3 Iulus played Knight of the Reliquary. Payron untapped Primus and attack for 7 (Iulus on 11 lp), Iulus used Kngiht for Wasteland and added Eye of Ugin, Elf and Voyaging Satyr. Payron denied to untap Primus which would have killed Gemstone mine but found Animate Dead and Faitless Looting from the top into preordain into Watery Grave into Animate Dead for Linvala which added another Angel for 7 flying Power and an empty hand. Iulus played another Forest, Knight found Cradle, Voyaging Satyr untapped Cradle for 6 Mana + Manaelf + 2 other lands and Eye of Ugin which was enough to play Emrakul the Promised End. In Payron's turn Primus stayed tapped, he got Brainstorm which revealed Izzet Charm (which can't be played), a land on the top and Frantic Search on second from the to. Emrakul killed attacking Angel. In his turn Payron attacked with Primus so Iulus was down to 4 but won with counter-attack.

https://youtu.be/TF_nQpjyb5w

dsck UGrb Scapeshift 1-2 Piepser BUG Reanimator

G1 He has turn 1 Careful Study (bin Sheoldred + Grisel), turn 2 Lim Duls Vault, turn 3 Exhume. I find no disruption and cant find Scapeshift in time.

G2 I Slowly build my mana while I have Scapeshift in hand, he durdles and does find reanimation spell too slowly and chooses Iona on green, but I had Venser for it and Scapeshift after untapping.

G3 I flood/relied on Treasure Cruise, Piepser has decently fast Griselbrand with some disruption

Firestarter (Academy) - Silberhase (Discard, use the Grave, aggro) 2-1

In Game 1 I took free Mulligan and had a risky hand with only one Land but quit powerful. He opened up with Werebear into the new Olivia into Mindwrack Demon and i Drew no other land...

Game 2 started with Workshop, one egg, Candelabra into Memory Jar. Turn 3 I cracked Jar after playing Tolarian Academy.
He scooped when I bounced all his permanents.

In game 3 I had a good hand with Mystical for Crop rotation, some fast mana artifacts and Winter Orb.
Pore over Pages found some eggs into Trinket Mage. Expedition Map found Inventors' Fair, which gave me Jar. The Jarturn was powerful, he also had only one Critter. Tezzeret the Seeker ended the Game after I Slavered him.
Good Games!

Pairings for round 2 are announced

Silberhase (Jund Madness) - Vazdru (Sultai Combo Oath) 2:0

Game 1: I was on the play and Gerry started t1 with raven's crime, where I had to discard fliplilly. I had a t2 Smuggler's Copter, but my t3 Satyr wayfinder was remanded. Next turn i played Wayfinder again and Copter was killed by Fatal Push. Gerry now played Crucible and retraced his Raven's Crime, where I could discard my dead Fatal Push. Next round he played again Crime and countered my Grisly Salvage in response. So I discarded my Stromkirk Occultist and played him for madness. Gerry played another Crime for my last card, but I had lightning bolt and still a red mana available. On my turn i raised my opponent and Stromkirk Occultist revealed a Scarab Feast, who could exile Gerry's lands in the Graveyard. Finally he got no answer for my threads.

Game 2: I had to mull to 6 and Gerry opened the game with a t1 Inquisition and discarded my Lilly of the Veil. I had no 1-drop but a t2 Collective Brutaly, which was countered by Swan Song. On t3 Gerry responded with Shadow of Doubt to my fetchland, so I could only play Tormenting Voice (discarded Neonate). Then Gerry played Merchant Scroll for Intuition and I played Wayfinder in my turn. Next turn I played Miasmic Mummy. In response Gerry played Intuition for Loam (although he had no green mana), Wasteland and Forbidden Orchard and discarded the given Loam into the Mummy while i discarded Haunted Dead. Then he played Thoughtseize discarded my Hazoret and also played Damnation. Now I played Olivia, Mobilized for War. Gerry played Demonic Tutor into Lilly of the Veil and I had to sac my Olivia. On his next turn, he chose not to up lilly and only said go and I took eot Haunted Dead from graveyard with discarding Fliplilly and Bloodhall Priest. The spirit token killed lilly and I played Asylum Visitor. On my next turn he played Mystic Confluence for bouncing my Haunted Dead and Asylum Visitor and drawing a card and I replayed Haunted Dead (hardcast). Finally he got no answer for my Haunted Dead and two spirit tokens.

Silberhase(Jund Madness) - K0d013e4st(RDW) 2:1

Game 1: I won the die roll, but I had a slow start. After killing his t1 Creature with lightning bolt eot I only cycled a land t2 and played library t3. He answered with t2 Keldon Marauders and Magus of the Moon. On t4 I got Zenith into lotleth troll that I could discard my haunted dead. But he had Collectiv Defiance to kill my troll, and he killed me a turn later with Ball Lightning and Fireblast.

Game 2: I started with t1 Gnarlwood Dryad, t2 Sylvan Library and t3 Lotleth Troll while missind 3rd land. He played t2 Goblin Guide and t3 Chandra's Phoenix. Then on my turn I discarded haunted dead with the troll and revived him by discarding Driven//Despair and Fiery Temper, who killed the goblin to get away the blocker for my attack. My opponent played Cursed Scroll and bolted my troll. On my turn I played despair and attacked with my 3 creature while he also had 3 cards in hand, but could still play Scullcrack before he had to discard his hand. He topdecked Mutavult played it after killing my dryad with the scroll. Then I played Collective Brutality discarding Honored Hydra for killing the phoenix and draining 2 lifes. After my attack I was on 10 lifes and he on 6. Now he drew Ahn-Crop Crasher and attacked with him while having Mutavult on defense. On my attack he traded the Mutavult with Haunted Dead and I killed the crasher with Maelstrom Pulse. On My next turn I played Zenith for Deathrite Shaman and he burned me with Flame Javelin to 3 lifes getting back his phoenix. Then on his turn he used his Ember Hauler to kill my shaman. Now the game became very close, while I raised him with my spirit token also to 3 lifes. I ended the turn with a Fatal Push in hand and Liliana of the veil which I couldn't cast since I had only one black mana. My opponent drew only a Mountain and ended the turn while still having only the pheonix in hand. I revived eot my Haunted Dead which he killed with the scroll and now I still had the 2nd Spirit token on the battlefield. On my turn I attack him with only 1 spirit and played satyr wayfinder who finds a Sheltered Thicket(RG Cycle dual) for me but kept it in hand. My opponent drew a Figure of Destiny which he played and finished his turn. Now I found a Demonic Tutor in Library which found me Lightning Axe to kill his Figure and won now with attacking witch my creatures.

Game3: I went mulligan to 6 and my opponent started with t1 Vexing Devil(4dmg) and t2 Falkenrath Gorger. I had only t2 Satyr finding no land. My opponent found no 3rd land and killed my satyr with Sudden Shock. On my 3rd turn I played Liliana, Heretic Healer (flip one) which he killed on his turn with Fire Ambush. Then I played Lotleth Troll with having 1 black mana open for regeneration. My opponent now only drew a lavaspike and still stuck on 2 lands. I found on my turn my 4th land with grizzly salvage, who also revealed a Bloodsoaked Champion. My opponent now only got Black Vise which was useless, cause I still had only 3 cards in hand after discarding and madnessing Asylum Visitor to the troll. Now I had a very stong turn. I first played Tomenting Voice (discarding Key to the City) and attacked with my creatures. He traded the Visitor with his Gorger. I discarded Wild Mongrel and Prized Amalgam into the troll before dmg. On my 2nd mainphase I could now play Hollow One for free and returned bloodsoaked champion to play what also gave me Amalgam back.
Even the 3rd land he got now wasn't able to stop this board and so he died on my turn, finally with Tainted Pact into Lightning Bolt.

Silberhase(Jund Madness) - derStefan82(Sultai Combo Oath) 2:0

Game1:

Stefan was on the play and went Mulligan to 6. I played t1 Mishra's Bauble. He played t2 Merchant Scroll for Intuition, but i played Colective Brutaly letting discarding it. Also drained him 2 and discarded Lingering Souls. On turn 3 my Scrapheap Scrounger got countered by Evasive Action. On t4 I played Vengevine and started to raise him. Stefan only played land some turn and after I flashbacked Lingering Souls he decided to clean the Board with Damnation. Also he played Tec Edge and destroyed a land and I was on 3 lands fpr the rest of the game. Then I played Sylvan Library. Stefan played on his turn Cephalid Coliseum and used it for draw and discard 3. He also played Demonic Tutor searching Oath and See Beyond and kept Oath in his hand. I found Thoughtseize with my Library and chose Oath to discard. Then I played Grim Flayer and one turn later Neheb, the Worthy and he was on 3 now while Stefan did nothing. Before he died he prolonged his Game with Crop Rotation into Glacial Chasm but he couldn't stop me and couldn't combo into anything either.

Game2:

Again Stefan was on the play. I played t2 Werebear and he played eot Lat-Nam's Legacy. Then on his t3 he played Thespian Stage and Into the North for Dark Depths. Luckily I had Wasteland on my hand and played it on my turn and kept it open. I also played Inquisition who got countered by Mental Misstep and Cartharic Reunion discarding Fatal Push and a land. He played nothing and also missed a land. On My turn I played an Fetchland and Driven, so that I got Threshold and raised him with Werebear. Now Stefan played Ghastly Demise killing my werebear and Personal Tutor for Treasure Cruise. While he is still on 3 land plus Dark Dephts I decided to waste his Sunken Ruins, his only blue mana source. Also I played Bloodsoaked Champion and Neheb, the Worthy. He could do nothing on his turn and I played on my turn a land and hardcasted Fiery Temper so I had only 1 card in hand (anothe rland) and I could raise him with 6 power. He was now on 5 and topdecked a land which allowed him to get a Marit Large but it was too late since the aftermath card Despair gave my Creatures menace.

firestarter (Academy) - K0d013e4st (RDW)


g1 i flooded the board with one drop creatures in my first turns.he couldn't find
    Any relevant answer or combo piece in time

G2 he mulled to 5 and like G1 my creatures won me that game very quick

G3 i had also a very good start with Guide into creature into magus to handle his academy.
      On the last turn he was able to bounce my magus and casts a will into a temporal fissure
      Which bounced my whole board.i conceded after he casts timetwister afterwards.

G4 he had a workshop start and a fast oath of druids which found a late eternal witness
      Including all combo pieces in his grave to finish me off.

G5 I had a good creature curve and a very good fiery confluence
      Which won me the game

Thanks for the ggs
