Let's get ready to rumble...
GL and enjoy @ everyone!
Sturmgott (White Stax with a Twist) - Kavu24 (4c non-blue Combo Survival) 2:1
Game 1: He has Sterling Grove, Harmonic Sliver and Bitterblossom. I have mana stones, Winter Orb, LoA, Armageddon and finally Magus of the Tabernacle. Guess who won.
Game 2: He has T1 Llanowar Elves, Turn 2 Sword of Fire and Ice. From turn three on he bitches me for 5 every turn, refilling his hand. His Harmonic Sliver slows my mana development, my blocker gets Putrefied. I then try to save myself with Elspeth (I'm on 5). In his turn he Regrowths his Putrefy, threatening to kill my only blocker next turn. I lock his sworded Elves, going to 4 in the process for not blocking the sliver. In my turn I decide to try to have him discard his putrefy, using mana from my Boseju, going to 2 life, and playing Mindtwist 4 on his 6-card-hand. It works out but in his turn he has Anger, plays it and attacks me to death.
Game 3: This time he has a fast Doran, but I have Kitchen Finks and Windborn Muse. His AEther Vial on 4 threatens me. I keep attacking for 3with the Muse, while he constantly taps out for more creatures. At some point he play WoG, and afterwards Wiltleaf Liege, rancors it and attacks me for 6. I play Wall of Reverence, keep drawing cards with my Mind's Eye and when I'm on 8, I manage to sweep all lands. Karn and his friends make for a short Survival of the Survival deck ;)
Thx for playing, very kind opponent.
Mythrandir 5CC VS Predi UW staxx
2:1
All 3 games were all about mana sources, here goes:
Game 1: We both plays lands, he plays wasteland + dustbowl + vesuva on my legendary karakas. (i still had plenty of lands due to my draws) he then plays tezzeret + winter orb (i dealt with winter via explosives) he played karn, died, eventually he fetched crucible of worlds with tez and started wastin my lands with a in the eye of chaos in play, so eventually i was overwhelmed with a mass attack from tez last ability. GG
Game 2: he wastes my krosan verge 1st turn, then vesuva on my karakas (got to love vesuva :)) but i still had plenty of lands in hand including a rishadan port that was now tapping his 1 of only 2 lands, he dropped some mana artifacts but i was dealing damage with a 3/4 goyf + a morphed exalted (was saving mana for counters) in the end he played talisman of dominance got dissipated + magus of the moat got STP, he was on 7 and all tapped ou, on my turn i unmorphed and dealt exactly 7. gg
Game 3: he mull to 6 and took a long time thinking (which meant he had a crappy hand, which was true... only 1 land -> ancient tomb) i had a fairly good hand. I played some lands while he skipped his turns. on turn 4 he played UW shockland + a mana a artifact (got counterspelled), on my turn i vindicated his dual. he played academy ruins + a mana artifact got "vensed", on mu turn i played shadowmage and went for 2 with venser. he played again his mana artifact got pact of negation. next turn i went for 3 + draw, and that was if for game play. i had some fire which dealt the final damage. Ancinet tomb also dealt a lot of damage to him. (not so GG, MWS mull sucks)
Good games overall.

Teko (GW Elves!) vs. Pyyhttu
2-0
G1:
Forest
Forest -> Rofellos
Savannah -> Survival
search for Symbiote next Turn search for Entity and win with X/X Rofellos
He had Some lands and Signets + Defense Grid but no Counters.
G2:
Again a really strong hand with Lands, Vial, Survival and random Elves
He got Tezzeret->Needle for my Survival in Response I searched for Entity and win in 2 Turns
He had 3 Lands in play Signets and Thopter Founsry/Sword of the Meek combo out
Sorry for my draw.

Just hope you did it in response to Tezzeret activation, because you cannot respond Needle coming into play.
peeler(RG Beatz with surprise) 2: Mean Tutor (UWB COntrol)
First Game:
I played some mana-bongos but no real threat he mindtwisted my hand an then damnt my board :(
But I top deck Baloth making some damage after a while he could handle him but i continued with chandra and finaly banefire for lethal. sorry for my topdecking...
Second game:
I started with Kird Ape and treetop village making trouble, after timewister i played blood moon to lock his libary an mad some damage by kird and yawimaya elder, after he got crystal shards bitterblossom and SoLS my offensive was over but again top deck rescued the day: Arsch-locher for the win!
Quote from: nastaboiJust hope you did it in response to Tezzeret activation, because you cannot respond Needle coming into play.
FUUUUU...and I shouldn't be multitasking while playing.
He didn't.
Why do "As enters..." Abilities even exist?...
Never thought about if it uses the Stack.
peeler (RG Beatz with surprise) 1 vs Sensenmann (UW control) 0
First Round:
I got some early survival but a little screw. So he could get some time with wrath of God, but my banefire did the rest.
Second round: He stoppt my beat down by propaganda, moat, humillity and get a panoptic mirror with gifts, but he couldnt get into time warp combo. So a bribery in the mirror gives him some 1/1 bongos out of my deck, but they couldnt kill me in time...
Hi,
Kavu24 (BantAggro) 2 : Zool (NayaMidrange) 1
Report will come!
TeKo (GW Elves!) vs. Sturmgott (W Staxx?)
2-0
breakfast...
Sturmgott (White Stax with a Twist) - lio123 (RDW-Gobbos) 2:1
First Game I win by smokestacking him in conjunction with Crucible of Worlds.
Second game he wins with me having only Maze of Ith in play and Land Tax in starting hand (I gambled on that and lost :( )
Third game crashes when I have a won position with Crucible, two Icy Manipulators, Moat, Magus of the Tabernacle and a resolved Armageddon leaving him at two lands. Thankfully lio123 is a fair players and admits he'd have lost this one.
Nice games 1 & 3 :)
pyyhttu (Thopter-combo) vs. derstefan82 (oath/reanimator): 2-0
First game crashed after half an hour just as we had an intensive game, I think stefan had a slightly better position.
In the second game derstefan82 suffered from a bad mulligan and I got to put some more pressure with Thoughtseize. He had Animate Dead, Force of Will, Misdirection, Dark Ritual and something else, I picked the Fow. While he suffered from mana screw, I got first Intuition and then Gifts for Thopter Squadron and Sword of the Meek and set up the combo. He then drew Entomb and reanimated Angel of Despair, destroying my Thopter Squadron. Eventually I got the game in balance with Tezzeret and graveyard recursion and generated some more thopters and ran over him.
In game 2, Stefan was again mana screwed with Bayou and Chrome Mox. I also had answers to his Academy Rector and had a few vital counters but they didn't play much role as was so much ahead the curve. I didn't set up the combo but went aggro and attacked with his Orchard's Spirit tokens and Trinket Mage.
Goblin Piledriver (Naya Zoo) - SirGalahad (Elves!) 0:2
First game my draw is Priest of Titania, Wirewood Hivemaster, Wirewood Symbiote, Mirror Entity with two or three other elves. Too much for my opponent.
Game two I have to play an early Primal Command to survive the pressure, but have then a big combo turn including Lightning Greaves, Elvish Archdruid, Wirewood Symbiote and Glimpse of Nature.
Both games were very close and my draws were really good.
Kavu24 (Bant Aggro) 0 vs Peeler (RGu Beatz) 2
First game i could more or less totaly screw him out with blood moon.
Second game he was screw too, but there was more like a game. Intersting situation i have after intution kikki-jikki in play, copy mana-Elve, play perstermite, Kavu played StoP, and i stupid idiot say "ok" instead of using Quirion Ranger to combo....
Finaly i won because of better draw.
Nastaboi Wildfire Swans vs. Sir.Galahad Elves!
2 - 0
I kept a slow hand on draw, but started drawing cards with Library while he got five elves on the battlefield and drove me down to five with cycled Gempalm Incinerator. My Wildfire left him with just one regenerated mana elf, but he drew Mutavault and I had to run for my money despite drawing off Library like a madman. I stabilized at one life and assembled the combo.
Sir.Galahad's draw was less impressive second game. He got many fancy lands though, which were all shut down by my Blood Moon. He saved his potentially threatening Mirror Entity from burn with Symbiote, but could not replay it. He conceeded after I played Swans, Crater Hellion and Burning of Xinye in consecutive turns.
Sensenmann (UWB artifakts) - Payron (customized 5c Surival from Patrik Richter)
First game: Mhh don t remember to much ... just know that he had some early pressure with a 4/3 flyer and bouncing a artifact at the begin of the upkeep which enabled with an artifaktland his land tax for quite a while (i guess he fetched all basics out) I stabelized at some point with wonder in grave and blocking his creature death and win with slight card advantage
0:1
Second game: He had sick start with Ancient Tomb - mana artifakt - next turn more mana and some creatures .. at some point he didn t had to much pressure on the board but amageddon. after that i drew no lands like 4 turns and that was enought
1:1
Third game: I keept hand with fetchland, Llanowar Elves, Zur the enchanter, Qasali Pridemage, island, Top and 1 more cards .. so the plan was to cast with a white mana scource from the top to cast an early zur and delay him with Pridemage later on ... well he played 2nd turn Tidescroller and stole my Pridemage, but after that I topped and though a tundra to cast my zur in the following turn ... he aktualy made the game first attack - survial (but no creature) - second attack deed back up and o-ring from hand fore scullar to get my creature back ... 2 more turns to combo out with revilarke
1:2
gg's
Zool (RGW Zoo) - Payron (customized 5c Surival from Patrik Richter)
First game: Well I had kind of sick hand against him: First turn Noble hierach - he had first turn taiga + Wild Nacatl - 2nd turn me Doran - he had bop + fynhorn elfes I think - 3rd Turn Deed for 1 to blow up the board after that i started with lftl wastland which made the total control for me
0:1
Second game: dont remember enought need to catch up with my notice at home ;)
0:2
TeKo (Elves!) - Payron (GRB tokens)
First Game: I had kind of bad hand with Goblin Matron, Mudbutton Torchrunner and 5 lands o_O ... well i thought that I need mana in this deck to take advantage of synergies and because 1 land was also treetop village I also ahd some pressure... both no first round drop but TeKo droped Devoted Druid 2nd round .. may drops were Mudbutton Torchrunner (3rd turn) and Goblin Matron for Goblin Sharpshooter (round 4) ... He droped Wirewood Hivemaster and Wren's Run Vanquisher followed by a coat of arms and an attack with big elves (hive master + Wren's Run Vanquisher) I blocked both and killed both ... next round goblin sharp shooter and Bitterblossom ftw and with blossom + Coat of arms + Slate of Ancestry which made card adavantage and blossom tokens on mass = gg .. well Skyshroud Poacher did builded up some defense but wasn t enough in the end
0:1
Second Game: First turn: he Llanowar elves - me Duress for stuff of domination
Second turn: he had elvish lyrc + some mana elve - me Bitterblossom (well thought lyrisic only destroys artifacts)
Third turn: he played a 2/2 elve and I had only mutavalt and wasteland
well the game was close for me becasue i destroyed his savanh with wasteland and and he was forced to pump the elves with the "cycle Elves" and I was getting on a critical point of life I stabilized on 3 life with Deranged Hermit and after Essence Warden, Sprouting Thrinax and Fleshbag Marauder which was just to much for him.
0:2
gg's
pyyhttu (Dreamhalls) - SirGalahad (Elves!) 1:2
First game I had turn 2 Survival with Llanowar Elves, getting me Priest of Titania. That was pretty much game already with me having a lot of mana and the Survival. pyyhttu tried to survive with Show and Tell into Yawgmoth's Bargain but did not find anything against me Elves with Elvish Archdruid.
Second game he has Dream Halls turn 4 and combos.
Third game he again has Dream Halls, this time turn 5, but can not combo. I can search Viridian Zealot with Skyshroud Poacher and on turn 6 he concedes to Rofellos, Poacher and Chameleon Colossus.
lio123 (4c Reveilark) x Pute (5c staxx with Planewalkers)
2:0
First game i had Reccuring Nightmare, Yosei, Kitchen finks, Thawing glacier and some lands in opening hand. So i builded 4 turns manabase. Pute played some signets and played Armageddon on 4. turn. It slowed both of us down, but i played Kitchen Finks in few turns with Sigil of Distinction on 5. He played Elspeth, but i had prepared Pithing Needle for her. I added some random creatures which died of Wrath of God, but Finks took Pute to 1 life. Pute hardcasted Empyrial Archangel and played Moat turn later, but i had Wrath of God and some flyers, which killed him.
Second game, we both played lands first two turns and on 3. turn Pute played Crucible and Wasteland was in play. Luckily i topdecked Trygon Predator. Few turns later i tutored for Vendilion Clique and played Jotun Grunt, which died on 2. commutative upkeep. When Pute had 1 life, he stabilized game with Maze of ith and Ajani Goldmane (3 life now) and was completely tapped. I topdecked Wasteland, destroyd Maze of Ith and won the game.

Mythrandir 5CC VS Derstefan 4c oath/reanimator
Game 1: Slow game, which is great for my deck. he played rector but i had maze i then play pridemage + glen elendra (countered gifts + faith fetter) again glen via stronghold. Eventually a sudden shock brought him from 2 to 0.
Game 2: He had a hell of a start: turn 1 entomb, turn 2 animated dead -> angel of despair on my land. ouch.. game crashed.. i dont know about his hand, but i had putrefy for the angel. But would be hard.
Game 2: I cycled my eternal dragon and he reanimate him =/, but i had maze of ith, so... not that bad. he was stuck on 4 and with the help of my wasteland + LFLT and cleaned his lands. Eventually he got also LFTL, but was now stuck on 2 basics + 1 gemstone... and he was low on life and yeah game crashed again... =/ oh, well.
Game 2: He mull to 6 and played land, i played wasteland (sac), he played wastland i played vesuva on his wasteland :D. Evntually a pridemage + glen + loxodon won me the game, although he had two mazes (vesuva). he had a good hand with oath, deed, etc. but no mana to play or pass my glen.
ggs, pity games crashed =/

The old story ;)
I've played some matches at mws.tipo.it / laggy + crash.
mws.games wasn't connectable and mws.play was some kind of laggy too
Tonight wasn't a good time to play some online matches ::)
Very frustating this lacking workstation. But for my game against Mythrandir I can say it was a fair thing we replayed all disconnected games and we had about 2 hours playtime, I think so. There were tricky games put in the end his deck worked better then mine.
Game 1: as he said (glen elendra fucked me)
Game 2: perfect start with 2. turn Angel of Despair his Land and backup of Akroma + Reanimate + Frantic Search but game breaks
Game 2: no chance to break his maze of ith, every time I tried someting he had counter or removal and then life from the loam engine. Long game I would say he was in advantage as the game breaks (but no option to kill at the moment so replay).
Game 2: with wasteland he slowed me down and then glen elendra + beatdown so no chance to go in combo which I hold in hand before.
Firestarter - lio123
i played combo against his mono u-tezzeret control and won 2-0
first game i started with library and turn 6 combo with pact and drainbackup, he only played trinket mage and searched for needle.
second game I had boseiju who shelters all, wich made his counterspells obsolide. in turn 8 i played abeyance loosing 2 life... ;)
great games...
lio123 (monoblue control) vs Sensemann (5c oath)
2:0
Game 1: I don't remember much, only that Sensemann had LftL in grave with some lands and raven's crime. He was tapped out and i played Tezzeret -> tormod's crypt. I killed him after few turns with vendilion clique.
Game 2: This game was almost won, but i made few fatal mistakes, which almost cost me game. He had 7 life, in play Maze of Ith, Kor Haven and some lands. I had in play Venser, Sower, Razormane masticore, Jace (1 l. counter) and some artefacts (i think vedalken shackless and crystal rod). I played Cryptic Command and bounced his Maze to hand EOT. I had counterspell and stifle, so i could kill him. But, there comes my mistakes: I forgot to discard a card to Masticore ::) and I removed last counter from Jace, because i thought game is over. I lost attacker and draw engine. Sensemann draw LoA and endless game began. Luckily I removed his Oath of Druids and LtfL with syncopate and faerie thickery, but he had Worm Harvest. I protected myself with Propaganda some other artefacts and creatures and tried to counter his threats whole game. We both were waiting for one card. I topdecked Arcane Laboratory and Meloku when i had about 20 cards in my Library. I had some counterspells in hand and Glen Elendra Archmage in game, so i killed him in 2 turns. Sensemann was waiting for Krosan Grip. He ended game with 23 cards in his library and Grip was 4th from top and he had 2 LoA :)
GGs, especially second game.
Firestarter - Predi 2-1
First game he played sphere of resistance slowed me and locked me down with icy and winter orb.
Second game I went into manaacceleration and finished him by playing gifts eot 5, finished him turn 6.
Third game i chanted him in his turn 4, he iced in my upkeep land with icy manipulator, i played gifts, taking one combopiece from graveyard to hand. he played wildfire, i drained and went into combo turn 6 or 7.

Firestarter with Combo vs. Pute with 5c Planeswalker Staxxwhatever (1:2)
1st Game: I started with Mishra's Workshop and played a Signet.
He used Crop Rotation and searched Library of Alexandira, drew and couldn't find any land.
When i played Dustbowl in my turn he gave up.
2nd Game: He got fast Aluren with Clutch the Undercity.
I used Tainted Pact and found Mind Twist which was countered by Evasive Action.
After a Raveges of War he used his Noble Hierarch and a Spiritguide to search Imperial Recruiter with
Eladamri's Call and of course....the combo killed me.
3rd Game: Again i started with Workshop + Signet.
In his 2nd Turn he played a Signet.
I played Mindslaver in turn 3.
I used Mindslaver in Turn 4 and won. (I searched Chain of Plasma and killed him discarding all cards)
good games
I played against Mythrandir and won 2-1
First game I had kombo with chantbackup turn 4.
second game i drew 1 mana after kull to 6.
Third game i went into combo turn 6 with force backup, mythrandir had ~20 lands in hand grave and play.

That chant really annoyed me since i had krosan grip. :P Anyways, congrats. you're on a roll. Nice deck, btw
derStefan82 (Reanimator) - SirGalahad (Elves!) 0:2
First game he took a mulligan to 6 cards and was screwed the whole game. I had some beatdown and could dodge his Pernicious Deed.
Second game he again had some mana problems as it seemed to me, but he was just waiting to discard Angel of Despair. His Maze of Ith was countered by my Lightning Greaves and as he played Solitary Confinement being on 3 i had Seal of Primordium.
Longer Reports of all my games except the first against Goblin Piledriver (no notes were taken) can soon be found at my blog on Germagic: http://www.mtgblogs.de/galahad/
The following entries will be in english so everybody can read the blog.

Try 62.168.11.50. Sometimes is offline but otherwise its ok.
Nastaboi UR Swans vs. Outlaw WW
2 - 0
We tried lio123's server but it crashed after I had killed seven creatures with Crater Hellion.
Outlaw begun with some 1/1's and Honor of the Pure. I played signets, Top and Jace and stopped the first assault with Pyroclasm and FTK. He reloaded with Procession tokens which Exploded after I drew nine cards that turn. His next threat was answered by Wildfire, and I tutored for the combo two turns later.
I started second game by Demonic Tutoring Izzet Boilerworks to go with my Island and three signets. Outlaw got some creatures and Grafted Wargear. I planned Starstorming them out and Personal Tutoring for Burning of Xinye, but then I saw the very card off the Top and Outlaw conceeded.
I suggest my following league opponents to consider something else than swarm decks against me.
Sensenmann (MonoU-Control) vs. predi (BGw-Recursion) 2:0
First game I managed to hit him down to 4 Life with Sower of Temptation and his Loxodon Hierarch. Then he found a solution for Sower. I got Vedalken Shackles to steal his creatures again but he stalled the ground with Stuffy Doll and Troll Ascetic. With those creatures of his my Nevinyrral's Disk didn't matter and we both did nothing to kill the opponent for a long time. I locked him with Decree of Silence and some Bounce on the Decree out of the game, but didn't find anything to kill him. Eventually I got the Panoptic Mirror-Timewarp-combo online and he says gg.
In the second game he starts with Murmuring Bosk and second turn Duress. He takes the Bribery over Mana Drain, not a hard choice. But on his 4th turn I can counter Ravenous Baloth with it. I play some manaartifacts and totally own his creatures with counterspells. Meanwhile Jushi Apprentice does his neat little job of drawing cards. Then I find Library of Alexandria and the games going to be very sick. I draw plenty of cards bounce or counter his creatures, dust bowl his nonbasic lands and keep capsizing his Teneb, the Harvester. He plays for some Recurring Nightmare tricks while I have no counter left but soon I can end the game with Sower of Temptation attacking.
Thanks for the cool games,
Sensenmann aka Marsupilami
Pyyhttu (Dream Halls) vs. lio123 (Ugw-Oath, I think): 2 - 1
First game crashes as mws.ligamagic.net goes down and won't come up.
When we start over, I get a hand containing Grim Tutor and some fast mana. I tutor for Dream Halls and after Lio gets tapped out, I play the Halls and finish the game with Brilliant Ultimatum, which shows me some good stuff: Opportunity, Intuition, Conflux, Timetwister and a random land. I remember getting everything else but Conflux but as he doesn't have a counter, I soon draw shitload of cards and Progenitus with a couple of time walks.
In the second game I get to setup the Dream Halls again, but alas, I can't utilize it for it's full power as draw clumps of lands. I am stuck with 2 lands in play and 3 on the top of my library. Lio gets his Treetop Village and Faerie Conclave and I am soon dead.
The third game is the longest, me playing most of the last round solitaire after resolved Dream Halls. lio123 gets to play Gifts and goes for Empyrial Archangel, Negate, Regrowth and Krosan Grip and I give him the Angel and the counter. At some point he also gets Hellkite Overlord on the table via my Dream Halls, but at the last round I get the draw engine going and can play around Negate. Storm being over 10, I Ill-Gotten Gain to Tendrils and that's that. GGs.
Firestarter - Goblin Piledriver 2-1
First game I killed him in turn 5 after he killed my birds of piradise (It would have been turn 4, if he did not.)
Second game he had stonecloaker who disturbed my plans.
Third game intuition showed him kombo + pact, he had only one solution, i pacted and went through in turn 4.
Thanks for fast games.
Firestarter - peeler 2-1
Game 1 i went into aluren-kombo with pact backup, but he had zealot and witness.
Second game i had to fight bloodmoon but found manamorphose.
Third game trygon predator stressed me, but i had enough time finding gg mana and he had 2 cards in hand but no removal.
Nastaboi UR Wildfire Swans vs. TeKo Elves
2 - 0
The matchup was hopeless for TeKo. Come on, people, don't you read the topic to see what others play?
Yep, no chance.
Wildfire just wins.
And you drew 1-2 in your top 15-20 cards without any Tutor.
I knew what you play, but I don't play to win I play to test my deck.
Only playing against good Match ups is senseless.
Mean_Tutor (UGW Bant Agro) - Sensenmann (UBR) 2-0
first game : sensenmann start with mulligan to 5 so easy win
second game : he made the wasteland -crucible combo on turn 3 but my wood elves and garruk help me to pass his propaganda
thx for the games
good luck Sensenmann on your next games
TeKo (GW Elves!) vs Vazdru (Enchantress?)
2-1
G1: He was screwed on 3 Lands
G2: Prison+O Ring followed by Stuffy Doll and Elspeth wins
G3: Good draw and Turn 5 Stuff Combo
lio123(UG midrange) vs Vazdru (UG midrange)
2:1
yea, its nothing better than mirrormatch in the middle of night ;)
1. game: i tried cast counterbalance, but Vazdru had remand and turn later played trygon predator. I played only creature in whole game and he had prepared sower of temptation
2. game: I played lorescale coatl on 2. turn and with some counterspells and draws coatl killed him pretty fast.
3. game: i draw first green mana source in 4. turn and vazdru had card advantage and also advantage on the table, but i was able to play glen elendra archmage. I played Spikeweaver one turn later which could prevent his attacks and killed him in few turns with kira and glen elendra. I have to admit, 3. game was played from top :-[
GGs
sensenmann (monoU-control) - marchhare (ugw); 1-2
First game i accomplish to resolve a mana drain for 4, but also to forget to use it during the main phase after the attack step, so that my plan to lock him with a 4th turn played glen elendra archmage (with 2 U open) fails ... afterwards im not able to come through his counters and cardadvantage.
The second game lasts ca. 1 hour, cause we both just answer the opponents threats. During the (ca.) 15 turn i play panglacial wurm (eot) while fetching, he responds with a bribary on reivellark, wich keeps me from attacking ( venser+ xyz in grave), another time im mistaken whilst not attacking in fear of the elementals revenge, untill he plays arcane laboratoy and crumbling sanctuary, and forces me to come through his 15-mana-open-lock, ... im able to tap him out eot ( he counters ... i think an eladamris call with syncopate for 14..), then play a quasali pridemage winking at his glen elendra, and destroy the laboratory, from that point my own archmage dominates the game (with stonecloaker..) and he gives up (he "just" had ca 60 cards left, wurm beated for 10 with noble hierarch).
The last game i keep a mana drain, a U land and a garruk ( mulligan for 4 cards), then play the drain in the third turn on his azorius signet into a garruk in my third turn, with mana open for counterspell, afterwards he cant handle the additional amount of mana ( threat + counter back up each turn ) and we stop facing a loxodon hierarch, beast token and eternal witness with a choleric country bumpkin menacing behind them... .
Thanks to sensenmann for the pleasent and demanding games ;)

Marchhare (UGW) - SirGalahad (Elves!) 1-2
First game he was heavily screwed and i had Regal Force, Winter Orb and Primal Command for Mox Diamond.
Second game he didn't have much more to do then Sword my Priest of Titania as i drew nothing relevant.
Third game crashed with him having 8 cards in hand and some men on the board, while i had Skyshroud Poacher, Rofellos and some other elves in play and Mirror Entity and Natural Order in hand. After the game he said, he had Bant Charm and Mana Drain, but his mana would have allowed him to play only one, so i think i would have won the game.
Forth game was won because he missed one or two crucial land drops and i had Deranged Hermit and Mirror Entity.
Mythrandir (5CC) - Vazdru (UG-Basic-Ramp)
1a: I've kept my first seven and started the game with T1 Fetch + Cylce and T2 Life from the Loam. So I've had my second cycle-land too my Life-from-the-Loam-engine was generating a hell of card-advantage. Mythrandir wasn't able to put pressure on the board the first 5-6 turns but then the game crashed - probably it would have been a long way back into this game for Mythrandir but we will never know...
We changed server (mws.tipo1.it -> mws.games) and started game 1b
1b: No land but life from the loam again. I decided to keep lftl and took 6 new ones. I've started almost exactely like in the first one T1 Island + Cycle Lonely Sandbar T2 Tropical + Life from the Loam. But this time Mythrandir played T2 Figure and a few turns later Tarmogoyf. I was some kind of flooded and had to jump-block his 6/7 Tarmogoyf. As he played Venser for my last Blocker it was already gg.
2: Again no lands but Back to Basics - i decided to take 6 new ones and got 3 lands, Furnace, Counter and Signet. T3 I've played b2b to keep him away from mana. Although he managed to play Quasli Pridemage to recover. Unfortunately for him I've had Trinket Mage (Senseis) and Tarmogoyf online. I've had FoW for this Wrath of God and Remand + Rushing River for his Moat so Tarmogoyf sealed the deal.
3: He started with T2 Quasli Pridemage which kicked my ass till t5. Meanwhile I've ramped some mana and then played Chameleon Colossus. He stuck on 4 mana and played Etched Oracle to find a solution for my Colossus. As he was tapped out I've played Shackles, took Pridemage and sacced for Etched Oracle which was obviously game. He tried to recover but I've had counter and Gifts Ungiven for Cryptic Command, Sower, Repeal and Venser to get rid off his last blocker.
GGs!
1:2
Sturmgott (White Stax with a Twist) - Peeler (UGR Aggro Survival) 2:1
First game my victory is never in danger. He plays some creatures, I get artifact mana and Icy Manipulator online, soon followed by Magus of the Tabernacle and Moat.
Second game he tutors for an early Trygon Predator, which I Rout, but he regrowths and replays it, tapping himself out. At that point I have Ghostly Prison going, and in my turn I play Winter Orb + Coldsteel Heart which is marked "R". He untaps a land, plays one from his hand and destroys Heart, keeping me from ever playing my Rolling Earthquake. When I find Faith's Fetters for the Predator, he has the Wickerbough Elder in perfect time.
Third Game was the longest one. An early Magus of the Moon counters my powerful special lands (Maze and Tabernacle). Evenmoreso, he even keeps me from playing white spells because my only white mana sources were Horizon Canopy and Flagstones of Trokair. What lost him this match despite this was that he allowed my Turn 1 Land Tax to trigger at some point, so I got enough white mana to play first Catastrophe for the creatures, soon followed by Ravages of War for his lands, plus I played my Tabernacle directly after the Ravages. Then I started beating him down with Windborn Muse, followed by Exalted Angel and in the last two attacks an Eternal Dragon joined my air force.
Predi (UWR) - Zool (Naya)
0-2
Predi was a bit srewed in both games. This led to two fast games :(
Mythrandir 5CC VS Pute 5CC
Mirror match. Control vs control, my favorite MU :)
Game 1: We both play some lands and some signets (yeah, new addition to me). He played chandra but got countered. We both had LFTl, but didn't use it a lot (hadn't anything good in grave worthwhile). I played a Flashbacked Teachings which got mana drained, next turn he played emyprial archangel!! which died to my demonfire to 8. I did played FOF and got necromancy -> to target the angel. He played explosives at 3, killed mt necro/angel. But then played wildfire (this play i really didnt understand, since i had lots of more lands in play and both our LFTL were now RFG). I then play doran he played maze, started swinging with doran + monastery and killed him.
Game 2: He was mana screw, but played 1st turn LoA and 2nd turn workshop filling his board with mana artifacts and then played ajani vengeant. i was able to topdeck wasteland on turn 2 :D for LoA. and then played deed for 2 which desttroyed like 6 or 7 artifacts he had in play. he was now left with a workshop + a dying ajani i had factory and then dropped kitchen finks.
I made a mistake in game, but it didnt cost me the game. he never saw a third land in the game --> would have been a lot different since he had tons of great stuff in hand.
Game 1 was excellent, and i´m glad i played an entire match without crashing! :D
peeler (RGu Beatz) 2 vs Zool (4c Zoo) 0
First game: I win the resource war by kikki jikki and mulldrifter.
Second game: He got mother of runes turn 1 and some other guys, so i was in defence position (by spike weaver) i got also screwd but last chance i topdecked land, and could defeat mother, but my FTK on his flayer ran into manaleak (first blues spell i saw and no real blue mana sources (city of brass) but next turn i could kill the guy with mourderes Redcap. And Finish him 1 Life left with the Banefire (x=5).
GGs!
Mythrandir 5CC VS Pyytthu UR burning skies?
2:0
Game 1: i lay 2 basic lands + rishadan he played plands + wasteland on my rishadan.. game crashed. At that point it was anybody game, i guess, i havent seen the R part yet.
game 1: two lands + signet he played grim lavamancer and an early PoP for 6. i played trygon, got bounced by man-o-war. he played teh 3/4 efreet got vensed. he nailed my venser with grim lavamancer. i then stalled by adding Moat into play (at this time i was a bit color screw/land only 5 no black), but i was able to resovle everything he threw at me including magus (gifts in response for fire/artifacts) i was haning low on life and played wog + dromar charm +5 life he played i then with the help of impulse found exalted with pridemage in play gave me +5 each turn. Next turn he would be dead with demonfire. I was lucky with my draws/plays.
game 2: he mulls to 6. plays volcanic island + 2/1 drake with upkeep cost, got STP. he didn't play a 2nd land. i played a 2nd turn pridemage he then found a a land and played a 1/1 pinger next turn a 1/1 flyer, nailed them both with FIRE/ice. at this point he conceded.
fast games.
Nastaboi UR Swans vs. Kavu24 4C Kavu
1 - 2
I drew zero nonlands 1st game. I resolved Wildfire against his slow start in the second and he waited six turns to draw a land before scooping it up. Third game he went T1 Birds, T2 Saffi, T3 Blastoderm, T4 SoFI+equip. As a fun fact he Vindicated my first bounceland in the first two games.
Nastaboi UR Swans vs. VazDru UG Ramp
2 - 1
I mulliganed to six 1st game and started with Island, Top and signets. By the time I found 2nd land VazDru had found counters for my stones, and was too far ahead already. I had 1st turn Library second game, VazDru drew none of his answers and I had a FoW backup whole game. After drawing half of my library I Called the Skybreaker to get the job done.
Third game started even until I resolved Burning of Xinye through his Pact of Negation with help from Mana Drain. Two turns later I played Swans which flew to victory.
Vazdru (UG Basicramp) - Payron (Boros Deck Wins)
0:2
First game: was nothing exiting, he was mana screwed and may aggro Deck nothing special and layed down creatures, he had lftl and tryed to dredge through his libery for lands ... but that was just to slow against my Deck ... sry mate mana screw sucks :-/
Second game: was a bit more exiting because we did some fights ... at some point he blowed a eneneerig explosives for 2 to get ride of 2 creature and honor of the pure which was a sick move but he didn t had a good cardadvantage and didn t drew anything what would help to stop my mass evasion creatures like Exalted angle and stillmoon cavalier ...
well sry that you didn t draw that well :-/
TeKo (GW Elves!) vs. Predi (5c Staxx?)
2-1
G1: Fast Beatdown Draw + Survival at about 10 life he lands Magus of the Moat and I beat him to few turns with Scryb Ranger.
Then he Martial Coups for about 12+ Token and Mindslavers me next Turn = gg.
G2: Beaters+Vial and Grip for Duplicant
G3: Beaters+Fecundity, drew some cards of his Martial Coup(7 Token) attacked with some small beaters+Rancor.
He plays Armageddon but I have Vial in play and kill him with small elves+Rancor.

This Game was damned close, at the beginning I was getting much Damage from Jungle Lion with Yavimaya Hollow Backup

At the End i won thanks to Sword of Fire and Ice and Bloodbraid Elf.
KAvu (4C) vs Payron (Borros)
2:1
First game he has the IMBA draw with turn 1 Knight of the Medograin, T2 Bonesplit equippt, T3 Aven Mindscensor and Turn 4 Elspeth. I have no removal and only 2 of my 4 colours.
Second game can i make a 1:2 trade with Jund Charm and have a Loxodon Hierarch in my Turn. He can removed it with Path so I get my red mana to kill his Sigil Palladin (he was equipped with mask of madness) with Lightning Helix.
In the third game he has problem with mana and i have T1 Aether Vial, T2 Top, T3 Bitterblossom and Flametounge Kave, Magma Jet and Ajani Vengeant on my Hand. A lot of remvoal to have the Boardposition with Blossom.

coldcrow (5C-Stax) 2 : 0 Predi (W-U-R-Stax)
Yuk the stax mirror. We played very late (0 AM), which had the result of terrible mistakes.
Game 1: I had the better acceleration + early Tangle Wire. Resolved Gifts found Armageddons for me and I really don't recall the win after that. I probably locked him out of the game with wasteland/crucible. Also I realized I had a irregular deck since i had a double Idyllic Tutor. We decided to treat it as a basic plains and moved on.
Game 2: Long Stax game. We both played lots of Mana. At some point he played wildfire, I responded with gifts for crucible and more mana. Then I made the terrible mistake of playing Timetwister into his mana and BEFORE laying Helm of Obedience. Of course I draw Leyline of the Void with my new 7. Critical situation arose when I had active stax and played Armageddon for his 5 lands (including Academy Ruins). He missed to put Memnarch or another good artifact on top and that was it. Smokestack did his ugly job - also killing an Academy Rector on my side, finding Bargain - Helm of Obedience + Leyline combo milled him to death.
Kavu24 (UW Merfolk) vs. TeKo (GW Elfen)
2:1
Hi,
In the first game Teko have mulligan to 6 and not a perfekt draw so i can win with Lord of Atlantis, Stonybrook Schoolmaster (make me 3 tokens) and other small fishs. In the final attack Teko had only 14 damage and i was on 19.
Second come was too fast for my deck. T1 Llanonwar Elves, T2 Survial and Symbotic, T3 Survial auf Priest and Quirrion Dryad and T4 Mirror Entity and "a lot of mana". I had a Merfolk Sovereign and ja Inkfathom Infiltrator^^.
The third game i have won because of Libary of Alexandria. It is to broken (pls bann). He have a lot of good Elves but the KeyElves could i handle with Treachery (Symbotic), Sower of Temptation(Wellwisher), Swords to Plowshares(Hivemaster), Mana Drain(Ranger of Eos) and Condescend (Brass Herald). My flyer (Sower and Glen Elandra Archmage) have eaten his lifepoints.
See yea.

Payron(Boros Deck Wins) vs Predi(UWr Stax)
1:2
Game 1:
He won fast with some 1/1 flyers and Sword of Fire and Ice. I tryed to slow him down with Ghostly Prison but i was to slow
Game 2:
Payron had a bad start with no drops in the first 2 rounds. I got Sisay's Ring out and played Wildfire in round 5 killing all his creatures and lands. Round 8 played Magus of the Tabernacle and Collective Restraint. Some rounds later i found Mindslaver + Academy Ruins with Futur Sight and Sensei's Divining Top then he gave up
Game 3:
I had good draw with Ghostly Prison and Collective Restraint again and he had the whole game no red mana.
1st turn he got Figure of Destiny witch took me down to 5 life together with my Ancient Tomb but then i got Tezzeret and with him Winter Orb into play. While tapping him every round the land he untaps with my Rishadan Port he couldn't attack and cause of no red mana he couldn't play any direct dmg to take away my last 3 life. So he gaveup a round before i could attack with my Artifacts as 5/5 Creatures.

Sorry, no time for a report. The match ended as a draw due to a time limit of one hour. Without the time limit I guess I'd have won the match :( - but I was the one who asked for it.

Mythrandir 5CC VS peeler RGu?! with soft + nonbasic hate
game 1 (stupid): No lands in hand, i keep a brainstorm and new mull i draw into 2 lands (U + G) + maze + lftl.. not bad i thought. kand kept. he plays bop + some critters. i start "LFTLing" and nothing! he brings me to zero even with maze in play. after digging through 25 cards i only had 2 lands + the maze..
game 2: he mulls to 6. he plays SOTF but i had mortify. he regrowthed it and i eternal witnessed a mana drain (so he never played SOTF again). after this an etched oracle + nantuko monastey killed him.
game 3: i played a signet + coalition relic, he tutored for magus of the moon. dished some damage i played garruk and then moat, was happily making 3/3 tokens till it (garruk) gets killed. he plays only nonflyers and the game went like this many turns. finally he has gifts that searches for kiki, arc slogger + body double + eternal.. i gave him kiki and slogger. drew into a STP :D and killed his slogger, after that a putrefy killed his kiki.
afterwards a back to basics joined the table but finally i drew an exalted angel and started swinging for 4 in the end he emptied his hand and filled the board with critters, no flyers. i searched for glen elendra and that was game. very lucky for me this game.
thks for playing
2:1 to me
coldcrow(monoB-suicide) vs. marchhare(ugwb) (0-2)
First game he plays aether vial, then miscalculates with a dauthi slayer and goes on with a skittering something (4/3);
i have a weathered wayfarer, who pulles a maze, library and some random land.
His hand of cruelty becomes mazed, while my t5 doran stops all offensive ambitions, after drawing 3 extra cards and going down to ca. 9 he gives up, facing a new wall of reverence and revealing contamination, wich he seemes having forgotten to use. ::)
G2 starts this time with a vial out of my forest, wich got BB-lowered. He plays some creatures, but decides to end the game t8 having only a manowared random creature in hand, and a manowar, a virgin kitchen finks and noble hierarch on my side (and of course the intimidating 3counters aether vial !).
Thanks for the games ;)
Firestarter (combo) - Mean Tutor (bant) 2-1
First game I played swans in turn 4, he oringed it, but i had time to find bounce + chain + backup.
Second game he had mindcensor in turn 12 (?), cause we only played land go. that was enough, because i did not have any buisness.
Third game I played gifts ungiven for 4 backup and went into combo turn 5.
peeler(GRua-aggro) vs. marchhare(ugwb) (1-2)
First game i scarcely can remember, but i win after ca. 10 min (with some good defensive creatures..).
Second game i drop t1 vial, he responds with a t2 fyndhorn-featured troll ascetic, wich was followed by his flamy 4/2 kavu friend, what ruined my defensive plans (didnt have anything to curve out, almost only 3 drops).
G3 he casts a bird, wich got dazed, the next creature got mana leaked. The first influent play was a vendillion clique, wich removed a garruk from a good hand with grim lavamancer, chain lightning, great sable stag and body double.
He plays the elk and kills the faerie triplet, i follow with a garruk. From that point on i produce some tokens and try to keep the hermit planeswalker alive. He lets more beef enter the play battlefield ( :'( ) with call of the herd, while i recycle a gifts ungiven with eternal witness... . I play a sword of fire/ice and a wall of revernence, but he plays sequential serendib efreet, chameleon colossus and rumbling slum, while i draw 5 lands. After some rounds he dies to his 2 pingers (maze and 5 tokens from the killed garruk didnt allow any sensible attacking, wall brought me up to over 40 life).
thanks for the games ;)
Nastaboi UR Swans vs. Mean_Tutor UGw Midrange
2 - 0
His second turn Looter was answered by my second turn FTK. Everything he tried was immediately countered by similar manner, and he conceeded facing lethal.
Mean_Tutor got an active Library second game, but I resolved a quick Tidings which gave me Blood Moon, though I had to explode his Pridemage and take control of his Trygon Predator before casting it. With Library gone he started playing his hand out and beat me to five, but I stabilized with Swans and sweepers, and assembled the combo soon after.

Sensenmann (4c-Nonbasic-hate) vs. Mythrandir (obvious) 2:0
First Game I play some manaacceleration. He destroys two of my creatures with spotremoval. Than the landdestructionparty went on with avalanche riders ->vindicate and the allmighty Army Ants which ate all his lands :-). He scoops after playing a Trinket Mage which can go for the dome freely.
Second Game was a bit lame, too. I waited for counterbackup and cast magus of the moon. Squee joined the party and both hacked on mythrandir till the end.
Silly one-sided games. Hope you aren't angry, Mythrandir.
QuoteSensenmann (4c-Nonbasic-hate) vs. Mythrandir (obvious) 2:0
You ambushed? How dare you!
Yeah, I did ;). But I played the deck not only against mythrandir but against several other players, just that it didn't work out ::). So my opponnents didn't recognize it as 4c-Nonbasic-hate. I'd say they thought what a lousy 3c-deck... :D.
So be prepared with all your multicolored decks (Maybe I play MonoR next time ;D)!

Im not quite sure about most of the details, but g1 i get extremely lucky (sry :( ) and draw library, survival, what warps his plays, and force and misdirection (to double counterforce) his only threat (ive forgotten wich...).
Second game he plays t5 mindtwist for 4, ::) ye again too lucky ---> misdirection and he stays with 1 card in hand, afterwards he gets beaten down by some random creature ( evtl i mixed up the games and the twist came g1...) .

But i can stabilize the next rounds, and kill him after ca. 10 more tight o
G2 ive got 4 lands, with force spike, mana leak and daze after hl-mulligan, so i just counter his first threats and wait untill higher card quality from the top ends the game ( i had ca 9 life at the end).

Mythrandir 5CC vs marchhare (wugb?)
Game 1: he never finds his third land. Pridemage plus FoD killed him. His only move was a mana drained on my goyf, but i countered his loxodon (played with mana from mana drain).
Game 2: he has a bad start, bue eventually gets to 4 lands, but then i drew wasteland (already had LFTL in grave). he played a critter but i played collective restraint and wastelanded his lands. He oconceded.
Sorry for the bad games =/
zool GUrw Aggro Control vs. Nastaboi UR Swans
2 - 1
Zool promised to report this one, but I try to remember what happened. I mulled to 6 1st game and he played fast Knight of Reliquary as 5/5, followed with Survival. Second game I had perfect curve and he had no change. Third game was epic. I began with two lands, he with Noble Hierarch, Mother and Survival. I drained his first 3cc spell into Fact that revealed zero lands. Then he failed to draw any creatures and I failed to draw any lands.
When I found EE I had to use it to his freshly drawn Elspeth. When I tapped out he was finally able to remove my Relic and fetch Squee, but I removed his team with double sweepering one turn, Regrowthed EE to handle Survival, and Wildfired. I was at two and planned playing Control Magic on Squee, but he topdecked Incinerate to finnish him off.
Thanks for that last one!
derStefan82(5cOath) vs. marchhare(ugwb) (0-2)
First game i start with a library, but have no relevant threats or counters, i decide to play carefully
because i thought hed play some kind of reanimator deck (i never saw an oath decklist... ???) , but after ca. 25 min
minor action he gets killed with 2 attacks by knight of the reliquary.
G2 i expect to lose after a t1 wayfarer who got responded with a t2 oath, but he reveals hellkite overlord wich i lock with a fetched maze. the next rounds became really tight, luckily he doesnt dredge a wasteland (lftl saved him from my lftl and wasteland..) and i tutor for qasali pridemage and manowar to bounce his dragon and get able to overrun him with garruk right before he can play his grim tutored wasteland... .
really thrilling and good games ;) thanks.

We both decided to choose our Prismatic Highlander.
Game1: GoblinPiledriver is beginning.
Round1: Relic of Progenitus --
Round2: -- Orzhov Signet
Round3: Fellwar Stone --

Round6: Juggernaut -- Dispellers Capsule(Juggernaut)
Round 7: Hoofprint of the Stagg --
Round7: Slave of Bolas + Diabolic Edict --
Round8: Fiery Fall -- Flameblast Dragon
The breaking Point was Round 4, Kavu countered my Moroii with Mystic Snake, and had so a 2/2 Creature which dealt constantly damage to me
This wouldn`t happen if I had draw my Fellwar Stone on Round 2 instead of Round3.
In the next Round my Hissing Iguanar was facing a Siege Gang Commander. And this was the time the Game was getting ugly. I was getting much damage while i cast spells like Hoofprint of the Stagg and Juggernaut.
In the End he finished the Game with Flameblast Dragon.
Game 2: GoblinPiledriver is beginning.
Round3: -- Jace Beleren

Round12: Primal Command (got countered by Decree of Silence) --
Round13: Azorius Signet + Gruul Signet -- Compulsive Research
Round14: Pristine Angel -- Kamahl Pit Fighter
This Time Kavu played early a Jace Beleren and drawed constantly cards. My first Thread was directly answered by Condemn.
I killed Jace and played my own Jace Beleren and Academy Rector.
Then came the game breaking point, I played all targets for Kavu`s Decimate and he had a 4-1 swap.
I managed getting a Debtors Kneel and he directly killed it. This was the first time the Rector-D.Kneel plan doesn`t worked.
In the End he stole my creatures countered my spells and finished me with Kamahl.
Payron (boros) vs. PuTe (4s surv) 0/2
Game 1: He starts good with Savannah Lions und Celdon Yearlings.
I lay Knight of the Reliquary and and later Zur The Enchanter (wanted to search deed for a amazing trade)
He Pathed to Exile
I play Wall of Reverence and got too much life.
Game 2: He takes a Mulligan to 6 and put three cards aside. Then he starts with blackvise which makes about 10 dmg.
All my creatures (goyf/qasali pridemage)became destroyed until i can play a Mind Twist for 3
and later a Loxodon Hierarch + Maze
against a Flyer and Figure of Destiny (2/2). Then he gave up staying on 2 lands.
ggs
coldcrow (Zombies B/R) 2 : 0 Vazdru (Elves / Big Mana)
1) I have a good hand vs his deck with lots of removal. He has no early drops but a gaeas cradle. I kill some of his critters so it never takes off. Meanwhile I get some zombies into play . He gets staff of dominantion but I kill alot of his mana givers and simply beat down and finish with lit bolt.
2) This was more interesting. He has a great hand but I disrupt with hymn to tourach. After that we go fast into topdeck I get a taurean mauler for some damage though. He demonic tutors for pulse. After that I get a fleshbag marauder and stronghold. Also a Deadapult which threatens to get rid of his little elves with marauder/stronghold. He uses top to dig and draw a wirewood herald as a good blocker. Yet I topdeck thoughseize like a champion and get rid of his colossus + top.
Aftert that he clinges to his last lifepoints with a genesis but deadapult + topdecked flame javelin finish him. Oh and I had a very valuable mutavault in play, which dealt significant damage.
GGs. after that I played a few games vs Vazdru's U/G Basic deck. To my surprise the braineating Undead fared really well. He won 2:1 but it could have been easily 2:0 for me.
Sturmgott (5c Heart Beat) vs. Mythrandir (5c Control) 2:0
The games were too much a pain the ass to waste further time to describe them. I win game 1 by having infinite mana + Stroke of Genius, game 2 by having Invoke the Firemind for 20 + Rude Awakening + 20 lands.
Sturmgott (B-Control) - Vazdru (Bg-Midrange)
I've cleared msg-log instead of saving it... so this time it is just a short report.
1: He started with T1 Duress. I've had some critter and removal. I've lost my critter against mass removal, no good trades for me at all. So I've played from the top and he had still 4 hand cards + cabal coffers in play. I've topdecked Necropotence and played Bitterblossom afterwards. He had Lifedrain and Graveborn Muse which killed me in the end in cooperation with my own Necro + Bitterblossom.
2: I've had a good start with Duress (-> Thoughtseize), Rats (-> Discarding Swamp) T3: Cabal Therapy, flashback Therapy, Dark Ritual and Nyxathid. He topdecked Innocent Blood right in time to stay alive at 9 LP. He tutored for Kokusho lateron (which was a mistake) since I've had flashback edict in gy. It was just a 10 LP swing but not enough. This time I've had the better draw and took him down before he could recover.
3: He let me start. T2: Dark Confidant, T3: Beseach the Queen for Sensei's, T4: Sensei + Nezumi Shortfang -> He played T4 Soul's of Night Betrayal for a 2-1 trade. T5 I've had Icequake to get rid of his forth land. He had some removal to take care for my next critters but he has never found nother forth land so I was able to Mind Shatter him for 6 (thx to Goldgari Rot Farm and Coalition Relic) before he was able to play some buisness. Necropotence sealed the deal.
1-2
Sensenmann (UWG-Survival) vs. Vazdru (Bg-Midrange) 2:1
First Game Vazdru starts with two swamps and Nantuko Shade. I can answer this with Two lands, Mox Diamond and Oblivion Ring. After this action the game was a little bit onesided because he plays rancid earth on my Plains and I am stuck on 2 manasources with 2 Lands in Grave and Crucible of Worlds in Hand.
Second Game was a really long one. He attacked me with Bane of the Living which got into the battlefield on his thrid turn via Dark Ritual. On my fourth turn I can stall the ground with my academy rector. And that's gonna be it for a long game. I stall the ground while he gets Bitterblossom online. To aply more pressure he casts Dark Confident on 17 life and draws a shitload of cards the whole game. I can hold the base with cards like kitchen finks, loxodon hierarch and faith fetters, finally getting Library of Alexandria online. We fought about his dark confident with shackles which got putrefied. He killed my Battlegrace Angel with Bone shredder. It was a really intense game till he played shriekmaw which got countered by my pact of negation. Then the game crashed, because I drew an arrow on shriekmaw while Vazdru put it in the graveyard simultaniously... I stood at 7 life and he at 4 with confident and bitterblossom in play. He showed the next card, which he would have drawn: Pox. So 4 damage for him in the upkeep, otherwise he would have stomped me over.->Very fair to show the next card and go to game three!
In the third game he starts with swamp and I with island suspend ancenstral vision. Than he got me with hymn to tourach which got the only other playable cards in my hand: Counterspell and noble hierarch. the next spell I can cast is on turn 4 a hermit druid, but he has icequake followed by smallpox. So I'm stuck on 2 lands again. But then the vision presented me a plains and kitchen finks which entered the Battlefield ASAP. His answer to that is necropotence. So he starts drawing cards en masse. Lucky as I am I find a land for my mox diamond to cast Garruk which built a beast. He casts withered wretch, duress on my Back to Basics and cabal therapy on my spike weaver. So I have no handcards but garruk in play. Next turn I can cast Battlegrace Angel of the two extra mana thanks to garruk and attack with kitchen finks which got smothered. Meanwhile Vazdru cast Hypnotic Specter to block my Angel,Mox Diamond plus land and Nezumi Graverobber. Then he draws again of the necro going down to 6 life. I attack with the angel, which got blocked and made another beast-token. He only plays putrid leech and draws another three cards. Luckily they were only lands and no removal for the angel.
Thanks for the epic, fair and thrilling games!
peeler (RGu Beatz) 2 vs 0 coldcrow (Bant)
First game I could beat him down straight with Burning Tree-Shamane turn 2 (making his Top and waterfront bouncer littler waeker) and FTK and burn.
Second game his was in better position having Ninja an venser (with karakas) but i could come back in game with SoFI, and 2 burns for the rest
Sturmgott (White Stax with a Twist - W-S.W.A.T) - Sensenmann (WWg Aggro) 2:0
Game 1: He puts some pressure on the board in the form of Silver Knight and Wiltleaf Cavaliers. I have the LoA start and slow him down with Ghostly Prison. He keeps tapping out and attacking. I go to 17, 12, 7. Then I StP his Cavalier, his next attack brings me to 5. I finally stop his attacks by playing Magus of the Tabernacle, Moat, then Elspeth, attack with Magus for 5, then Kitchen Finks. At some point he manages to remove the Moat with his Oblivion Ring and attack me so I go to 4. In my turn I think I'll now seal his fate and play armageddon, going to 3 life in the process due to my Canopy Horizon. I play Armageddon and due to my Ghostly Prison and my Magus I feel totally safe now. In his upkeep he pays for his Tithe with his mana critter, then sacs all creatures. He finds two plains and continues to draw a card in his draw step. He says "you won't believe this" and plays....
BLACK VISE!!
I have exactly seven cards in hand, 5 mana on the board, and he is at 7 life. In my upkeep I let Tabernacle ability go on the stack, Black Vise on the stack, cycle Eternal Dragon but couldn't seem to find any land with it ;) and take 2 damage from the Vise, going to 1. I pay my critters' upkeep and draw a card, pump Kitchen Finks with my Elspeth, attack with 5/4 Flying and 2/6 walking, killing Sensenmann.
Game two he has a much quicker start with Figure of Destiny, but he doesn't pump in turn two, but prefers to play Knight of the Holy Nimbus. In his 3rd turn he plays another creature (dropping no third land), Ronom Unicorn. I played lands so far only but on my third turn played Worn Powerstone. He has the painful answer in the form of Uktabi Orang-Utan. I play my fourth land and WoG clears the Board. His next play is Dauntless Escort, which I PtE. He then plays a face-down creature, I play Scepter of Dominance, tapping his face-down man, which becomes accompanied by Savannah Lions and another creature. Time to find my 7th land (rather: play my Windswept Heath the fifth time thanks to Crucible of Worlds) and play Martial Coup for 5. He plays Wiltleaf Liege and Sword of Light and Shadow. At 7 life, I consider my Kor Haven not safe enough and refuse to play a fetch land from my yard this turn, instead I play Karakas from my hand. I attack with all Soldiers (they couldn't block the liege with his sword anyway). One dies to blocking. In his turn he decides to play a 2/1 shadow creature, but fails to equip it with the sword. I cycle my Decree of Justice eot for another 5 soldiers. I attack with 9 soldiers, one becomes blocked, he goes to 7, and finds no solution to win, also doesn't have enough blockers for my soldiers next turn.
2:0
Nastaboi UR Swans vs. Predi Stax
2 - 0
Really lopsided games. I had an active Library on the draw and tutored and played G. E. Archmage before he could do anything relevant. Skybreaker finished him up while in total control. I mulliganed six cards into a risky one in the second game: Steam Vents, three signets, Ponder, two draw spells. He had no Wasteland for my Vents nor Gruul Turf, and I managed to play signets and wreck his mana with Wasteland and Wildfire. Then I went crazy with Future Sight while keeping him in check.
Sorry for the bad draws :-\
Sturmgott (Evil MBC) vs. SirGalahad (Elves!) 2:1
Game 1: He has a fast start, but I can gain card advantage twice. Turn 3 Infest, Turn 4 Mutilate, then Diabolic Edict. Game.
Game 2: I have a huge start with Innocent Blood, Diabolic Edict and the likes. When I have a 5/5 Korlash, he plays Deranged Hermit, I'm at 18. I attack, he takes 5, and I play Diabolic Tutor for Night of Soul's Betrayal. In his turn he doesn't pay the Hermit's Echo and attacks with 4 squirrels, then hardcasts Reveillark. I take 4. Next turn since I played another Swamp, Korlash swings for another 5. I play Night of Soul's Betrayal, killing his tokens. In his turn he plays Elvish Archdruid and Quirion Ranger, which I don't take seriously enough. So I miss the opportunity to win the game quite safely by playing Damnation and removing his yard in response to Reveillark's trigger with shred Memory. Instead I play Graveborn Muse and say go. His Ravages of War shows me an easy way for me to lose the game.
Game 3: After three tries we finally manage to play a game with no disconnects. This game was the closest of them all. In the end I was at 2 life, in play 8 lands, Phyrexian Arena, Ivory Tower and Visara. He has Aether Vial with 3 counters, an empty hand and apart from his 6 lands he has a Staff of Domination, a Wiltleaf Liege and an Elvish Champion. He taps my Visara in his combat phase, I use her abilty to destroy his Liege, he attacks with Champion. I play Memory Plunder on his Crop Rotation, Sac a Swamp and find Maze of Ith, which saves me from the Champion. In my turn I stack Ivory Tower, then Arena, so I gain one life, going to 5 cards. Draw Step, 6 cards. I play Kokusho. He tries to find answers or solutions by drawing extra cards with the staff (which is expensive), while Visara kills his last threat. He draws a last card with the staff, which doesn't help, so he resigns.
Great last game!! And a very fair and nice guy to play against. Thumbs up!
Peeler (RGu) - Vazdru (Captain America reloaded)
1: Kept 2 lands and Gifts Ungiven. I've started game T3 with Jace letting both of us draw a card. T4 Wall of Reverence displayed a nice shield for my planeswalker. Sakura-Tribe Elder + Bloodbraid Elf (-> Incinerate) were his first plays. Which took Jace down to 1 counter again. Volcanic Hammer took him down finally. Now it was the time for Gifts ->
Pestermite, Kiki-Jiki, Reveillark, Karmic Guide -> got Karmic Guide + Kiki-Jiki
With Ruination he was able to keep me away from my 3 Red Mana but he had no gy control so i played Karmic on Reveillark. After morphed Exalted Angel has been killed by his Flametongue Kavu I put Chandra behind Wall of Reverence and Reveillark and Chandra took care of that Kavu. Finally I've had Mirror Entity, Elspeth and Time Warp to kill him with beating of an Flying Soldier + Reveillark.
2: He started T1 Birds. Me Chrome Mox (Orim's Chant), Mountain + Lightning Helix at Birds. T2 he played Kird Ape + Mana Elf. I've had Explosives for 1 and sac. How he ran out of gas and I've had T3 Elspeth and T5 Chandra which made the whole way.
0:2
thx for ggs
Firestarter (Combo) vs. Kavu 24 2-1 4c-nonblue
First game i started with lotusbloom and went in combo t5 with giftsbackup at 3 life, but i did not need gifts.
Second game i hold a risky hand with birds and sensei, he wasted and i gave up
third game He had no pressure on board, but i had a bit colorproblems, plaiying tainted pact for 30 cards. I resolved aluren having infinite life, but no killoption. end of his turn i was building 8 creatures with each 9000 +1/+1-counters, he could chump 1 man, but got round about 48000 damage ;-)
nice first and third game. mana screw sucks
Kavu24 (4c Blood) vs Vazdru (Captain America)
Kavu win 2:1
The first game I can kill him with my aggro mode with turn two Steward of Valeron (meet fire from Fire/Ice), T3 Anurid Brushhopper, T4 Doran. Vazdru have Glen Elandra Archmage und Trinket Mage (Engineered Explosives) for block. With EE he destroy my Doran and I safe my Brushhopper. After this my Phantom Centaur make the rest.
The second game win Vazdru with Reveilark combo (Karmic Guide, Body Double and Venser). But there was one critical point. Vazdru play his Reiveilark with 4 lands and one Talisman then i play EoT Swords to Plowsher to remove the Lark but he has a Pact of Negation. If i have one Land or Artefakt destroyer Vazdru have lost the game.
Third game Vazdru was flooded an i have Wolly Thocter + Bemoth Sledge + Elspeth.
Thx for the game..
See ya

Nastaboi UGW Lark vs. Pyyhttu Loam.dec
2 - 0
Pyyhttu had only lands and no business 1st game. He Gambled for an early Loam in the 2nd one, but could not Crime efficiently as he had forgot to include either Badlands or Ovg.Tomb to go along his fetched Bayou. I had a Loam of my own, and got Survival with Genesis on grave at some point. When he cycled Remote Isle to get Loam I fetched Stonecloaker in response, and won short thereafter.
Firestarter (5c-Basic-Survival - Sensenmann (5c Stax) 2-1
First game he had smokestack and winterorb, he had to clear the hole board because of low life and my magus. I regrowthed fire and shot him out of life.
Second game i had a good hand with predator, hermid druid and library, but he had plenty of mana, crumbling sanctuary and oath, my sliver took sanctuary, predator killing oath, but after wildfire Elzpeth smiled on Sensemanns board on my empty board.
Third Game he raped the board against my pernicious deed, but I drew luckily 5 manasources from the top and he does not, don`t know why. I think it`s because he is a friend of mine. ;)
Thanks dear Ansgar.
Nastaboi UGW Lark vs. Mythrandir
2 - 0
I got Quasali Pridemage in play, but then stopped drawing lands while Mythrandir wreacked havoc with Port, Wasteland and Intuitioned Loam. He made a mistake playing Garruk into my Mana Leak though, and that allowed me to Gifts a Loam of my own. He went down to three from Pridemage before getting rid of it, and beat me down with one of his own, until I resolved Aven Mindcensor on his end step with a backup to finish him off.
We both had Loam second game, but I Crypted the one of his right away. He tried to Furnace mine, but forgot that I had two cycling lands in hand. Then I topdecked Waste and his Maze hold my Trygon Predator no longer. I got to attack twice with SoFI on it until he found Krosan Grip, and his final attempt to kill the attacker was met by my triple counter backup.
Both games were pretty close, and decided by small play errors.

GGs
derStefan82 (3-Color Oath) vs TeKo (Elves!) 2:0
1. Game he put in good pressure with Mirror Entity + small creature + Orchard Tokens with lots of mana including Geas Cradle. I got 2 Ancestors Chosen giving me about 50 life in the complete game. Very long and hard battle won by a hardcast Progenitus luckily. Before the hardcast I realized that I forgot to put in a white manasource during my working on deck last week (so only 3color this day).
2. Game he beat me down to 2 life. But I could find a Bearscape with Demonic Tutor. With > 4 mana and 2 green manasources + 16 cards in grave I beated him down with many bears. In this game I was very lucky and found every removal and counter I needed. Sorry TeKo.
Thanks for those nice games. I think we battled about 2 hours.
derStefan82 (4C-Oath) vs Coldcrow (GUW-?) 2:1
1. Game won with Life from the Loam + Wasteland bring him to 2 lands. Before he had some beatdown with Tarmogoyf I had to kill with Damnation. Then Oath of Druids and 1 round later Intuition on Orchard and Co. He gave up with 2 lands on this point.
2. He won with starting Savannah Lion, I played explosives on 1 cause of missing removal and option 4 rounds later with Gifts + Counter. In my next turn he took a Quasali Pridemage with Worldly Tutor EOT, I hoped for no 3rd Mana but got so I couldnt use my softcounter. He beat me down wit Pridemage + Creature I think so.
3. I had Demonic Tutor in the opening hand and got Oath in second turn. Afterward I got Factory and beat him few rounds. He played Tygoon Predator and I could Oath a Hellkite Overloard. Next week he bounced him with ninjutso by a Ninja. I oathed Progenitus and won.
Thanks for gaming.

Mythrandir 5CC VS Teko Gw elves
2:0
Game 1: he plays a third turn SOFT which i thought was my doom. he plays load of mana producers/pumpers and attacks leaving me in the red zone, but a 6 th topdeck (demonic tutor) fetched me a WOG :D and i could i was stable again, next turn i played EE for 2 crushing his survival. he attacks with loads of critters but i vensed his o-ring which had my loxodon, and i think since he had no cards in hand and i had karakas + venser he just conceded
game 2: It was a pretty nasty game for him, turn 1 factory, turn 2 tabernacle, turn 3 maze... eventually he deals a couple of damage and plays priest of titania, i fetched helix via transmutation and killed his priest. he plays some more critters and attacks i playd dromar charm (removal mode) + a regrowted helix and cleaned his board. he gave me the win.
Thks for playing

derStefan82 (4C-Oath) vs Payron (UGW?) 2:0
1. Game I got Idyllic Tutor for getting Oath and Pithing Needle for his Jenara (Angel). He put pressure on me with Rafig of the Many.
I could Force his Stifle on my Oath and got more pressure then him after he lost his Jenara. I got Ancestors Chosen, Hellkite Overlord
and Empyrial Archangel from my Oath.
2. Game I got Idyllic Tutor again on my starting Hand and he Kataki 8) . With Maze of Ith I could hold off his pressure long enough to
get my Oath running. He got Kataki, Troll Ascetic + something. I again got Ancestors Chosen, Hellkite Overlord
and Empyrial Archangel from my Oath. At least he tryed to kill my Overloard with a Bant Charm but I hold Missdirection and got good
Counters for his spells. So Game 2 was very lucky for me.
Thanks for games
lio123(uwr-aggro)- marchhare(ugwb) 0-2
G1 im forced to take 2 mulligans, he exchanges 5 cards and is on the draw.
Im able to collect 3 lands in the 4th turn, and vindicate his single (!!!) land, and he gives up.
G2 creates an extremely exciting showdown, when he lays down a mirror entity with a sword of fire/ice, while i have a
used glen elendra archmage and only lands after being flooded.
He attacks 2 times with full land-support, but decides to let the archmage live and to burn me down, but then i topdeck
a crystal shard, and bounce the annoying changeling. Then :
he entity, equip
me topdeck noble hierarch ( block-lock with crystal shard for his entity, and counter lock with recycleable archmage)
Afterwards he drops karmic guide and eternal dragon wich resolve (the rest not), i respond with an azorius guildmage, wall of reverence and another hotncold sword out of ancestral recall visions, and win after getting from 1 to 9 life and attacking after tapping his 2 not euipped blockers.
really exciting games, thanks ;)
Firestarter (Combo)- derStefan82 (Oath)- 2-0
First game i had a sick hand with 2x tutor, bird, mana and orims chant, went with chantbackup into combo turn 4
Second game i duressed his intuition (don`t know why he didn`t played it). i drew library of alexandria, killing him with 3 tutors, force, silence and plenty of mana. Think he had no chance today ;)
Thanks for playing
Nastaboi UGW Lark vs. Sturmgott UB Storm Combo
2 - 0
I won the roll got a second turn Tribe-Elder. Sturmgott went scary with Ebon stronghold, Island-Ritual-Signet-Twister-go. I drew TEH NUTS from the Twister: Snake, Mindcensor, Clique, and the best card in our format: Glen Elendra Archmage. Sturmgott was little worse with Library, but I played EOT Clique taking Time Spiral, followed by Archmage next turn. Then he could draw all the cards he ever wanted, I would not care.
I slowed him down some more with EE taking his two moxen, and couple of attacks and one Thoughtseize taking my Snake later he was at three life. He Pondered and tried to bounce my Archmage, which I promptly sacrificed. He Thirsted in response to Persist but found nothing relevant, and scooped it up.
Next game was rather anticlimatic. He just mulliganed himself to oblivion. Sad, but that's Magic.
Thanks for the game!
lio123(Heartbeat combo) vs DerStefan82 (4c oath)
2:1
First game, he had huge manascrew (about 8 turns with 1 land) and i played land each turn. With 10 lands on table, i played Braingeyser for 8 and killed him turn later.
Second game was very fast, Stefan had in 2. turn Oath with Orchard.
Third game, we both played some draw and tutors and then Stefan played Oath with Orchard. I had Heartbeat, some time walk, Timespiral and Palinchron in the hand. I played Heartbeat and time walk. Another turn i played Palinchron -> infinite mana, then Timespiral, which bringed me mind Mind Spring, Future Sight and some crappy cards. Stefan countered deadly Spring, but he didn't have answer for Future Sight and i killed him from top.

Nastaboi UGW Lark vs. Peeler URW Planeswalker Control
2 - 1
I begun with Ancestral Visions. I played my first threat into his counter but got Tarmo in play while he had Lightning Angel. After Ancestral resolves I have yet to find third land, but with Top I begun to finally find some. Soon it was my Baneslayer Angel against his Numot, the Devastator. I drew Survival and he had to EE it and Tarmo, so I tutored for Lark combo in response. I could not evoke Lark very next turn as he Bolted my Birds, and Intuitioned for Loam and some lands instead. I tried to combo him following turn with Pact backup, but he had Cryptic command AND another counter. Numot ate two of my lands and I didn't draw an out.
Peeler mulliganed to 6 in the second one, but had Library while I drew just lands 8 turns in a row. When he tried Gifts in the beginning of my 9th End Step, I played my freshly drawn Fact which revealed two counters which I took along with Gifts and Loam which I rejected. I let him draw more cards with Fact and Jace and saved my counters to Pristine Angel. Eventually I found Eladamri's Call with everything I needed for Reveillark already in grave, and evoked Lark with double backup for the win.
Third game, I played an EOT Intuition into his counter only to topdeck Gifts for Loam package. Peeler suspended Aeon Chronicler for two, and I Called Sower of Temptation to deal with it. He Lightning Helixed my Sower, I Body Doubled it, he played Oblivion Ring on Body Double, I played Karmic Guide, he countered it, I Regrowthed Sower, he Chandra'd it... What a battle.
At four life, I got Baneslayer Angel. Peeler played Tidings to boost his Chronicler, but I blocked with angel and Blinked it after first strike damage. Then I hit back with Sword of Fire and Ice on it. He got Fetters on my Angel, but I resolved Survival through his counterbalance, and removed both annoying enchantments. Then I tutored for combo, and he had only one counter this time.
I was pretty exhausted after two hours and three amazing games.

hmm.. interesting concept! Do you play all 6 (if i counted right..) PW available to those colors?
Predi(UWR Staxx) vs marchhare(UGWB Aggro)
2:0
Game1: marchhare took me down to 5 then i got control but didnt find any winsolution for a long time so the game took
1h:38min until i got martial coup
Game2: marchhare had only 3 lands the whole game so he couldnt do that much. So I got controll with pendrell mists,
collective restraint, ghostly prison, winter orb and clock of omens then he gave up
it´s more or less a "normal" Captain America (PW: Chandra, Ajani Vengent, Jace, elspeth)
Kavu (Merfolk) vs. Coldcrow (UGW Blink)
2:0
The first game was very fast because Coldcrow has kept a one land (Libary of Alexandira) and draw no second land.
He start the second game with Tundra. I have a Ancestral Vision. After Heath an go from Coldcrow I decided to destroy Tundra with Wasteland. But he has an other land. His Eternal Witness was countered by Force of Will and his Man-o-War (bounce my Forgetender) was countered by Daze. I start my offensiv with Merrow Reejery but he has a Path to Exil. My Waterfront Bouncer and Merfolk Sorvereign start to eat his life. With Winter Orb i have become the board control. So he can only bounce my Sovereign. But after 4 Turns he was dead.
Thanks for the games.
See ya

Game1: GoblinPiledriver is beginning
R1: Forest + Granger Guildmage -- Watery Grave
R2: Mishra`s Factory + Rancor -- Savannah
R3: City of Brass + Naya Hushblade -- Island + S.D. Top
R4: Rith's Grove
Won this Game because marchhare can't play(cast) any Spell. Every Spell cost either double white or black or 4 Mana.
Game2: Marchare is beginning
R1: Island + Brainstorm -- Bloodstained Mire(Taiga) + Noble Hierach
R2: Underground Sea -- Figure of Destiny + Jund Hackblade ( got Condescend)
R3: Bayou + Ancestral Vision -- Flagstones of Trokair + Grafted Wargear(got Manaleak)

Won this Game with help from Figure of Destiny.
zool(wurg-aggrocontrol) - marchhare(ugwb) 0-2
I forgot most details from g1, but i had a survival, wich i used only suboptimal, but won after ca. 15-20 min, by flashing
a quasali ambusher and playing a crystal shard next turn, so that he cant block and play lightning with his single untapped land ( i had two 2/x and one 1/x creatures, he only one blocker and 3 life).
G2 he got heavily screwed :-[ with only one forest, llanowar elves and a sdt, i started the beatdown, and killed the elv with shriekmaw before he could collect 4 mana.
Afterwards we played again and he won, although i had a playable manadrain and mind twist among the first 7 cards ;D
Thanks for the nice games ;)
coldcrow (bant) 2 : 0 payron (Suicide Black)
g1: I win the roll and get a runemother down, followed by a quirion ranger, which stops his targetted removal cold. I counter a creature artifact with force(tap all lands type). Turn 3 Selkie + Turn 4 ninjutsu'ed ninja get an insane draw machine going. I simply drop critter and overwhelm him. Pendlehaven in selkie helped too.
g2: I mulligan to 5. Its a foul imp + some pump knight vs. my lone 1/1 exalted flier. He destroys an Augury Mage 2 times cutting me off lifegain. I found a goyf in time to stop his knight when he drops a potence. He necroes for 4 going to 7. I brainstorm for rancor :D , dropping him to 2. He goes to 1 in his upkeep (carnophage). Then is locked out of draws but has a Tomb of Urami. I have 3 mana open : payron plays a wasteland I float. Then he tries to play skitttering skirge + lightning greaves but i have the krosan grip. His skirge + blinkmoth nexus hold my trampling flier with 4 toughness at bay. He has to use Urami and attack though because of necrolock. I block his skirge, enchant my goyf with rancor and attack for for 1 trampling dmg to the dome. GG.
Take it easy Payron.. I experienced it alot that the opponents drew the exact answers. Sucks but this is HL.
GoblinPiledriver(Naya-Zoo) vs Sensenmann (Monoblue-Control)
2:0
Game1: GoblinPiledriver is beginning
R1: Jungle Shrine -- Island
R2: Savannah + Soltari Trooper -- Island
R3: Rip-Clan Crasher(get Syncopate) -- Island
R4: Tattermunge Maniac(get Memory Lapse) -- Grim Monolith
R5: Tattermunge Maniac -- Island + Crumbling Sanctuary + S.D.Top
R6: Stomping Ground + Tangle Wire --
R7: Plains + Ajani Vengeant(get Force of Will) --
R8: Wooly Thoctar -- Island
R9: Boggart-Ram Gang -- Seat of the Synod + Glen Elendra Archmage
R10:Grim Lavamancer + Viashino Slaughtermaster -- Treahcery(Grim (re Swords to Plowshares)
R11: Sword of Fire and Ice -- Ancestral Vision
R12: Naya Hushblade +opponent plays Cryptic Command(Sword+tap) -- Island + Razormane Masticore
R13: Harm`s Way (get Elendra activated) + Sword of Fire and Ice -- S.D.Top + Sower of Temptation(Viashino)
R14: equipping S.Trooper with Sword o.F.I(shoot at Sower) --
Sensenmann played early Crumbling Sanctuary so a early Victory was impossible. I stopped his Mana early with Tangle Wire, in that Time i played many Creatures. In time where he couldn't counter i played 2 times Sword of Fire and Ice and get Advantage of it.
In the End Sensenmann gives up with 19 Cards in Library, it seems that he forgot to shoot with Razormane Masticore my Soltari Trooper with Sword o.F.I down.
If he had done it he had gain Control of the Game, the only question is if he could bring my 80 cards down while he has only 15 cards left.
Game2: Sensenmann is beginning
R1: Thawing Glaciers -- Plateau + Savannah Lions
R2: Island -- Bloodstaired Mire(Taiga) + Noble Hiearch + Frenzied Goblin
R3: Thawing Glaciers + Ancestarl Vision -- Karplusan Forest + Wilt-Leaf Liege(get Force Spike)
R4: Island + Thirst for Knowledge(discard Tormod's Crypt)-- Volcanic Hammer + Lightning Helix
R5: Island + Glen Elendra Archmage -- Temple Garden + Qasali Pridemage
R6: Island -- Lightning Bolt
Won this Game fast with Frenzied Goblin and Savannah Lion, supported by Burn.
Nastaboi High Tide vs. Payron Blue Artifact Control
2 - 1
I mulled to six on play and Payron to five. I accelerated with some signets and played Concentrate into is Drain, which gave him Intuition for future Crucible and Triskelion. I resolved Fact next turn, tutored for Mana Flare and went for it with double backup. Time Spiral gave me Gifts and FoW and I Stroked him out.
We both had Library second game, but I struggled to find land drops and had to use main phase draw in addition to Library. Payron won a counter war over my Izzet Signet and played Master Transmuter. Trike joined the party again, and I began to setup Gigadrowse into next turn High Tide. Unfortunately, he put Panoptic Mirron into play imprinting Time Warp. All I needed was one turn, but he had two counters awaiting.
I begun the third one with Flare and Gigadrowse in hand. We both layed down Islands and drew some cards. I countered his Gifts at the beginning of my one End Step, and found Palinchron with Flash of Insight. He had nothing and I drew two X-spells.
firestarter (Aluren + Swans - Combo) vs Vazdru (Bg-Midrange)
1: He won the die roll and had a brillant start with Ancient Tomb + Talisman of Dominance + Portent. I played Cabal Therapy naming Demonic Tutor (he revealed Tainted Pact, Duress, Mana Leak + 2 Lands). T2 he didn't counter my Sensei's to play eot Tainted Pact into Fact or Fiction which he played in mainphase of next turn (pack I: Insidious Dreams, Spike Feeder, Conflagrate; pack II: Dimir Infiltrator, Ponder - he took p I). Second mainphase he played LoA. Now i've started to screw him down with Fulminator Mage (-> LoA), Wasteland (-> Ancient Tomb). A bit later he played eot Dreams into Swans Combo but before he went off I flashback Cabal Therapy naming Mana Leak + Diabolic Edict for Swans. Next turn he had to play Chains on my Hypnotic Specter and conceded short after.
2: He started with Sleight of Hands and T2 LoA. I've had T1 Swamp, T2 Mutavault + Dark Confidant. He had Thoughtseize for my Chittering Rats and drew some extra cards via LoA. I've had no good draws via Confidant (Creakwood Liege + Tombstalker :P). I've had Icequake for LoA, Putrefy for Signet but he had already all pieces for Aluren-Combo. After Abeyance he went off for infinite Lp so i conceded.
3: T1: Sensei's, T2: Dark Confidant (again), T3: Fetchland + Tarmogoyf, T4: Icequake, T5: Mindshatter for 2 (he just dropped LoA :O) - random discard: Aluren + Eternal Witness. Into the bargain my Tarmogy become BIG and I attacked for 7 damage leaving him with 7 LP. He wasn't able to find a solution in time.
1:2
Thx for ggs!
sturmgott(white-stax)-marchhare(ugwb) 0-2
First game i drop some fast creatures with llanowar elv, but he handles them with ghostly prison.
I lay down a gaddok and after his morphed exalted angel becomes persuaded (by treachery) through a
winter orb he gives up ( guess the gaddok locked him, by having only 4 available mana).
Second game i mulligan down to 5 (everytime only one land), he keeps, but stops playing lands after a wasteland and
maze, i draw a mox and discard my single land. the next rounds nothing happens, except a countered mana artifact (force spike), then i lay down LoA ( with 6 cards in hand), wich he wastes after drawing during his next turn.
After some more rounds i play another time gaddok teeg and he gives up (with no available mana in play), with any other land (except maze) id have dropped ohran viper... (with mana leak in hand).
disappointing games sturmgott, sorry :-[
lio123 (UGr Heartbeat) vs Mythrandir (5cc)
2:1
First game was very fast, he played some creatures and was tapped and i had in hand heartbeat + palinchron + stroke + counterspell as a backup 1:0
Second game i was little bit manascrewed and Mythrandir played fast Glen Elendra which really slowed me. When i tried to build my manabase, he had LftL engine running and had card advantage. He took me down to 6 with Eternal Witness and Trygon Predator and then killed with demonfire. 1:1
Third game was very long and i won. 2:1 (i don't have time to write report)
Interesting games :)
peeler (oh captain, my captain) 2 vs payron (5c survival) 0
Goblinpiledriver (RGW-Naya) - Payron (5c control)
First game: I rolled higher and started just laying lands and second trun talisman, he started with Cerodon Yearling which got removed turn 3 with Flametongue Kavu ... after that he burned kavu and played mother of runes ... in the end i had court hussar - Tarmo - Meloku against Mother - Skyknight Legionnaire - Anurid Brushhopper equipt with Sword of Fire and Ice ... it was rly close game I was on 3 life and could counter the lightning bolt and killed him off with mass meloku tokens ... wouldn t he scrwed mana he would of won I guess
0:1
Second game: fast start with isamaru countert from Maze of ith ... he layed down some impressive pressure with mother Tarmo and Wild Nacatl I just ramped mana with krosans verge but I handled the board with trinked mage on explosives on 1 and cleared the board controling the tarmo with maze ... at that point i had 3 counters left on my hand and some removel ... the game crashed with the following situation: I got 7 lands + Maze with top - Jace - Trinked mage - Venser - Flametongue Kavu on hand Lightning Helix and Maelstorm Puls ---- he got Hearthfire Hobgoblin and 4 lands -- on hand STP and char .. so he gave me the win ... faire play thx
0:2
firestarter (Aluren + Swans - Combo)- Payron (Mono B suicide)
first game: I handled some threads with discard and was just to fast after that
Second game: not much to say fast combo ftw
third game: I had again some discard and pressure on the board ... I told me after he did something wrong so that was maybe just luck for me :-/

TeKo (GW Elves!) vs marchhare (4-5c Survival?)
2-0
G1: slow draw but can beat him down with some Elves.
G2: Nice Draw with Fyndhorn, Priest, Wrens, Champ, Garruk, Forest, Crop R And can win with forestwalking Elves.
sorry for my draw an your screw.
TeKo (GW Elves!) vs. Zool (5c Survival?)
2-1
G1: I keep a slow hand and he wins with looter+squee and Warmonk.
G2: Good hand with Rofellos and Staff I tap his creatures and combo when I draw my 5th Forest.
G3: After Hl mulligan I have 4 lands in hand but keep he has 9 mana sources and only 2 spells in 5 Turns. I topdeck Symbiote and Archdruid = win on Turn 4/5 with Entity after I topdecked Ghost Quarter to get a Plains ;)
ggs and thx for the games.
Lio123 (Boros Deck Wins) vs Payron (5c control)
First game: I searched with Corp Rotation for Maze which slowed him down pretty much ... I played some removel and could bring Magus of the Tabernacle out which was insane against aggro ... we played a while and but we could feel I had the control deck and won slowly
Second game: he was early game scrwed and I decided to destroy his land with vindicate to leave him just with chrome ox but he drew into enough lands in the end ... I would need 1 more turn to recover my life points with Rhox War Monk but he drew brun to end the game (maybe I decided wrong here becuase I had force with 2 life and rhox as only possible play :-/)
Third game: I had early Maze but a bit mana screw but I could clear the board and recoverd life with Loxodon hierach - Exalted angel and Wall of Reverence which was just insane lifegain ... but I was down to 5 life so it was close ... guess Corp Rotation on Volraths stronghold made the game
1:2
gg's
Predi (staxx) 1: peeler (enchantress) 2
First game: Aramgeddon and smokestaxx in one turn just killed me
Second game: Luminarch Ascension turn 2 for the win
Third game: Elpeth on my side beat his Tezzeret
Firestarter (5c-basic-survival - galahad (elves) 2-1
First game he won because of his turn 3- natural order searching for proacher.
Second game i countered 2 times in a turn and had many beaters to kill him.
third game crashed first, then again, but my board position was predator, grunt, vial (3), 8 lands, 4 hand cards - 4 lands, random elf and 3 hand cards. i think he wouldn`t have won that.
MWS sucks
Mythrandir 5CC VS Payron 5CC with btb and the likes.
1:2
Don't remember much, because i thought he'd post. anyway, i´ll try.
Game 1: i think he was a bit screw early on and eventually i killed him
Game 2: Think it was a close one till he dropped blood moon.
game 3: not only was i stuck on low lands, but he played BTB. i even layed a deed, but never got the 3rd land do make the sac.
If he remembers anything else, feel free to post.
Mythrandir 5CC VS Mean_tutor "5C creatures"?!
2:1
Game 1: he played censor, then ninjutsu a ninja, then censor again + lavamancer. i had glen and eventually cleared the board with a wog. After that a garruk + a finks won the match. He was stuck on 4 lands (and then 3 with the help of my vindicate) for a very long time.
Game 2: Again he played some critters, some giving CA (looters...) and again i cleared the board, he then played some more critters i play maze of ith but he had ajani vengeant i vindicated his PW, but i was too low on life, in the end a waterfront bouncer with moldervine + a pump spell killed me. I drew huge amounts of lands...
Game 3: he again played some creatures: FOD, dark confidant, etc. i shriekmaw'ed, wog'ed. he played finks, goyf + genesis i played eternal witness + wog + jund charm. after that i got my doran online and started to lower his life points and eventually killed him with a mana drain backup.
All 3 games i was low on life, but i think in all 3 games either he or i had some mana issues which make me felt the games could have been more interesting.
Anyhow thks for playing.

GG's Greetings Piledriver
Vazdru(Bg Midrange) - Predi(RDW Gobbos)

Game1: Won with Jinxed Choker, Reckless Abandon and some creatures a turn before he could use Deed
Game2: Couldnet do that much after he destroyed several lands and let me discard everything with Lilian Vess
Game3: Got Vial, Goblin Recruiter and Sharpshooter on my Starthand so i won with Sharpshooter, Siege-Gang and some other Goblins i searched with Recruiter
Nastaboi High Tide vs. Goblinpiledriver Non-blue Survival
2 - 1
1st game I Force Spiked his Survival, countered some other spells and went off on turn six with little trouble. Second game I first Lapsed then Delayed his Vindicate on my land and laid down Extraplanar Lens. I attempted to go off with one counter on Vindicate, but fizzled due error of calculation. That's what you get when playing tired.
Third game I went Top-Medallion-Concentrate-Treachery (on Tarmogoyf)+Palinchron same turn. I was in beatdown mode and did not play twisters Top showed me until he EOT Helixed me, Vialed in Hierarch and got me down to three. Then I Time Spiraled and passed the turn mana up, and as he played nothing of relevance I just played EOT Gifts FTW.
GG's, I hoped he had played some more aggroish to get some serious testing.
Hey Nastaboi, could you post your Hightide list? Since I´am playing myself a monoU Deck I´am interested to see how to implicate a combo. ;)

peeler (5cStaxx) 2 vs Goblinpiledirver (naya Zoo) 1
First round he rushed me to hard
Second round i could stabilize with oblisk of alara and cycle red decree for the win
Third game I have to mulligan down to 5 but could play an early crumbling sanctuary he gets the beat down after a while i keep the board clear with rath and abysee but there where only around 20 cards left in my library and most win condition where gone. so i had to charge lilian vess and ajani vengence for a while, thanks got acedemy ruins an smoke stack saved me for deck out...
Sensenmann (BGw-Rock) vs. Stefan82 (5c-Oath) 2:0
First Game he plays tainted pact into Gifts Ungiven but I answer it with Gaddock Teeg and Saffi Eriksdotter. He searches for solutions while I beat him to death with my Creatures.
Second Game I own him with my Oath... of Ghouls. No matter what he does to keep my creatures at bay they alway come back and start the beating again. Finally he surrenders.
Those were fun games with a nice player. Thanks!
Vazdru(UGB-survival)- marchhare(5-color creature control) 1-2
Ive forgotten most facts, but he wins the first game after dropping some pressure, and mindtwisting me, afterwards i routine sac loxodon hierarch "with dmg on the stack" (fight against some 4/x<5) :-[ . :D
G2 i win by racing him as far as i know. (break for some hours after the first 2 games)
The third game starts with no relevant plays until turn 4 on my side, while he takes the lead with lotus cobra, glazing gladeheart ( ;)) and some other small beaters. Im not really concentrated and make many weak plays, but resolve a survival and aether vial quite late. He play gifts, i play tarmogoyf and get a glen elendra archmage, which counters his b2b (after letting a mindtwist for 5 hit me), after this round i keep on attacking him and countering all relevant threats (genesis in grave) and he gives up ( lethal tarmo + countermagic..). Vazdrus deck seemed to have too much cards which dont affect the game gravely, e.g. the gladeheart, which got him over 15 life, but nevertheless wasnt a relevant factor to consider ( against aggro its actually an only-long-range-good 4turn drop--> not really playable in highlander).
thanks to vazdru for the nice match :)
nastaboi(almost-monoU-combo) - marchhare (always the same) 0-2
First game he gets a voices from the void (for 5 obv) in turn 4 (with birds of paradise), afterwards some small creatures kill him, while he tries to recover.
G2 i play t2 lotus cobra and t3 voices ( ;D ) with 3 right duals in play (fetched obv). The next turn he plays ideas unbound and timetwister...which gets me mindtwist, lol ^^.
A tidehollow sculler to pull out countermagic and mindtwist for zero handcards later he stays with no relevant cards in graveyard or play. (again some random 2/x kill him)
Thank you for the funny games ;)
Nastaboi High Tide - derStefan Oath
2 - 1
1st game he mulled down to five but got Divining Top. He missed a land drop though, and I tutored Extraplanar Lens and started drawing cards. Twister showed me just land, but I set up Drain+Spiral for following turn and won from there.
DerStefan got nuts 2nd game: Land, Diamond, Demonic, Land, Oath, EOT Crop Rotation for Orchard. I had a great hand myself and put up some resistance, but my changes were so slim that I just scooped it up.
3rd game started more cautiously, I drew some cards and let him tutor for Library. He did not counter my draw to keep high card count in hand, and I went for it with a backup turn six. Eventually Mind's Desire was played storm count being equal to my library size.
Thanks for the games, and special thanks to Marchhare for Voices from the Void humiliation!
this wasnt meant as humiliation, the exact opposite ! i just wanted to tell that u had very bad luck during the games, and lost because of that ^^ ;)

derStefan 4C-Oath vs Vazdru BG-Sui
2:1
1. Game he started faster than me, I had little counter and he little pressure. After playing Gift I could go into Oath so I think I had a bit better options,
but game breaks so we regamed.
1. Game second time. I could counter his 2. turn Confidant with Spell Snare. He played this black Totem which can be 5/5 trample and you loose permanents to damage it get.
After attacking with no creatures on my side I could get a Factory for blocking by playing Crop Rotation which let him sacrifice 2 of his 4 permanents.
I had running Loam Engine + Factory + cloned Factory (Vesuva) and later Library. So after beating with Factory and solutions for his spells he played Death Cloud which
killed all premanentes besides 1 Factory on my side and the Totem on his side so I could find Land and kill him with Factory.
2. Game I mulligand to 4 with 1 land and tutor option. He got high pressure with 2nd round Bitterblossom, Factory ... so killed me before I could do anything.
3. Game he got Blossom I got tutored Oath fast enough. He killed my green mana source (Tropical) with wasteland I founnd Chrome Mox. He could handle my Hellkite Overlord with edict and
beat me down to 6 life I tutored 50/50 chance Ancestors Chosen go to 26 life and got last creature in deck Progenitus next round for my win.
Very nice and fair games. Thanks for it. At least a lucky day for my unlucky oath.

KAvu(UBG) vs Mythrandir (5cc)
2:0
Sry no time to report.
Thx for the games.
Kavu
Nastaboi Monoblue Skies vs. Firestarter Reanimator
1 - 2
1st game was an attrition war. I Commandeered his early Duress but he had BS in response. He hided Survival, but I bounced and then countered it. My lone Spiketail Hatchling beat him down to six but I got no other pressure and could not keep up with his card advantage.
2nd game I Drained his Sylvan Scrying into Sower taking his bird, countered everything relevant, Needled his Bazaar and when he finally could reanimate something, played Counter Magic on it.
3rd game started scary with Demonic from him and then crashed. I had B2B+counter, lookin solid. He drew into TEH NUTS: 1st turn Bird (as in every game :-X), 2nd turn Survival which I Needled (pitched Iona in response), 3rd turn Crop Rotation into Bazaar + Reanimate Iona against my monoblue deck.
GG's, thanks for the season and see you in Frankfurt!
Lio123 (UGr-Heartbeat-Combo) - Vazdru (UGb-Survival)
1:2
1: Won the roll. After Intuition I've had LftL-Engine running with Wasteland/Cyclelands feat. Cephalid Colliseum. Vendillion Clique let me hold him out of combo-range and when he played Heartbeat I've countered Turnabout. Turn later i've played Primal Command on Heartbeat + lib-shuffle for some more turns. Misdirection + Force of Will gave me another one but he still managed to get combo in time.
2: This time I've had a Mind Twist for 5 when he was tapped out. Vendillion Clique + SoFI were enough to bring him down quickly enough.
3: I've had T2 Mox + Lotus Cobra + Landdrop + Hermit Druid. Trygon Predator + Krosan Grip saved my life when he put down Heatbeat + Manaflare. Recurring Nightmare + a misdirected Stroke of Genius won me the game.
Thx for the GGs! Hope to see ya again next season.
lio123 (UGr Heartbeat) vs peeler (UGW Enchantress)
2:0
First game, i had some problems with lands and peeler had seal of cleansing which returned back from grave. I was almost dead (lot of 4/4s angels, some other creatures), but i drew 5 cards with stroke of genius and found my combo pieces and killed him. It was so close.
Second game, peeler mulliganed to 5 and was stucked on 1 land, when i had Palinchron on the table. Then i played blood moon on his 3 nonbasic lands and killed him with palinchron.

Firestarter (Reanimator) - Sturmgott (U-Skies) 2-0
I don`t remember the games, but i had 2 good hands and it were 2 close games with lightning greaves so his bouncespells were not good enough against my fatties. Sturmgott was screwed in both games (must have been because of the decktype ;-)
And yeah, Iona rocks...
Sensenmann (MonoU-Wizards) vs. Kavu24 (UGB-Survival) 2:0
First game I got Patron Wizard out on my second turn thanks to chrome mox. My next creature was azami, lady of scrolls. After that and more wizards I had the game under control and kavu wrote gg having 4 lands + Wall of roots and me having 5 Wizards.
Second game mulligan to 6 and have no land but chrome mox again. I topdeck dustbowl, play chrome mox and thought courier. He uses his new wasteland for my dustbowl. I can play sage of the epityr, put two islands on top and activate my thought courier. I counter his nature's lore with force spike and in my next turn I can cast patron wizard again with kavu having only 2 lands. After that I can beat him with my wizards and counter his spells with my other wizards ;-).
So 2:0 for the Wizards. I suppose I would have lost against aggro, but midrange or control is just fine for them.
Nice games, friendly player. Seeya next season.
