Highlander Magic

once again.....

Let's get ready to rumble!

Gl and enjoy!

First Match
MrGreen UGWB Survival vs Vazdru UGb Survival 2:1

G 1
I played Noble Hierarch and he removed it with Swords to Plowshares. I played Grazing Gladeheart he and he took it with Treachery. He played Glen Alendra Archmage and I took it with Sower. We both played some more creatures until I got the Survival. My 6/7 Gofy ended the game.
G 2
Vazdru played first turn: Land, Mox Diamond and Lotus Cobra. I just an Island. 2nd turn: he put another land into play and played Gifts Ungiven to find Life from the Loam, Wasteland and 2 cycle lands. => concede
G 3
I put Mindcensor, Reveillark and Rafiq into game. He played Tribe Elder, Shadowmage, Cobra, Wall of Roots into. Demonic Tutor found him Shackles and he took my Mindcensor. My swords removes it from the game and Reveillarks 10 damages defeated Vazdru.

Sturmgott (Bant Aggro) vs. Cadaj (5c Combo) 2:0

Game 1 I am simply too fast for him. Before I see anything relevant I have a horde of critters topped by Rafiq, enough to win.

Game 2 is a little bit tighter, he tries to set up a combo with Intuition, I hand him Regrowth, Stonecloaker in my hand. He doesn't even try to regrowth in his turn, though, I play Cloaker nonetheless, bouncing Aven Mindcensor. In my turn I Armageddon to victory.

Sturmgott (Mono White Angels) - Payron (Boros) 2:0

He aggregates masses of creatures, I defend with Wall of Reverence (which is just soooooo good), Emeria Angel, Icy Manipulator. He has Figure of Destiny, 1/1 shadow equipped with Grafted Wargear, 2/1 shadow prot. from red, Countryside Crusher (which grows to 11/11 after Armageddon later), I have Felidar Sovereign later. He has a face down creature but decides not to unmorph the Angel (?), but rather play Geddon. That leaves me with Wall, Emeria Angel, Sovereign, Tooth of Ramos and Icy Manipulator. He constantly presses damage through, but I gain obscene amounts of life thx to Wall of Reverence. Harm's Way killed his Figure when he tried to kill my Emeria Angel with Rhystic Lightning before the Armageddon. Since he has no flyers and my Emeria keeps pushing hard, his life total goes to single digits soon. When he had three lands and thus could maybe play his fourth, I tap his only Mountain in his upkeep so he cannot unmorph the Angel. I simply have to block his 11/11 Crusher with my Felidar and he has no solution for my Angel.

Game 2 he starts lighning fast with Shockland untapped, Chrome Mox (imprint Soltari Foot Soldier), Lightning Greaves. I kept a wacky hand with only colorless mana, but also Wasteland. I waste his Foundry and that was basically it. Some turns later I play Exalted Angel face down, unmorph it in my next attack. The only thing he does is play Draw-Go now (w/o playing da lands). My Ajani makes it even easier to win now - in the end the Exalted Angel was 7/8 and I was at 35 life. He resigns and reveals 4 lands in a row from the top of his library. Luck was on my side this time!

Thanks for playing, and good luck with your "Facharbeit"!

Tabris (Heartbeat) vs. Pennywise (Elves)0:2

Game1 I have T2 Winter Orb and Tabris never gets an disenchant

Game2 I have lots of elves and the posibility to start the combo next turn, while his Minds Desire only reveals Forest, Island and Heartbeat.

Actually the Minds Desire was on G1 bc I was hoping for Krosan Grip ;)

on G2 he killed me one turn b4 I ve got my combo together ;(

Mythandir 5CC VS irenicus RDW-gobos?
2:0

Game 1: Was pretty close. He dropped some creatures and i play sudden shock, then a glen countered an incinerate and blocked to save me from some damage. An unexpected ball lightning took me down to the critical zone, however a demonic tutor -> kitchen finks hold the game down for me. But he eventually got the red spire on mountains, but luckily i drew into a FoF which revealed me a rishadan port. In the end i dropped a doran + pridemage and that was it, 1-0 but with only 4lf points remaining for me.

Game 2: Was unforgiving for him. My initial hand consisted of maze + finks + loxodon. I even managed to pull the trap cost on the mindbreak trap (he played vexing, magus of the scrool reckless abandon on his vexing). So this one was almost impossible for him to win.

Thanks for playing.

@Sturmgott, wouldn't expected to see a Velidar hitting the board... Is the "you win" ability any relevant?

MrGreen UGBW Survival vs. DerStefan82 UGWB Combo 2:0
In both game I out a lot creatures into the game. He had some removal (wrath/rout/moat) but genesis and hermit druid made it easy to find a lot of utility cretures which brought the win.

peeler (GWu Enchantress) 2 vs Olord (RDW) 1

First round his deck does want it can, make creature beatdown and then burns me out.

Second round he got a slow start with LD but my acceleration and entchantments like Honden of cleansing, elephant grass and sigil of the empty thron made the game.

Third game he mulli to 6 and got srewd so my accelerated-gifts-ungiven-draw-many-cards-plays make him scoop...

Thanks for games

It wasn't yet, but I just had my first match with Felidar in play. Primarily he makes it very, very hard to win for aggro decks because of the combination lifelink + vigilance.

-jFk- (White Weenie) vs Cadaj (5 Color something) 2:0

1st Game: He muligans down to six cards including one land which will be the last one for him this game.
2nd Game: I put out some weenies one of them aethersworn canonist which he does not realize when playing thirst for knowledge BEFORE intuition at end of turn (oh sorry: ... at the beginning of the end step). So he has to main phase intuate (lol) and thus is to slow for my overwhelming little guys.

THX for playing


And next one:

-jFk- (WW) vs Tabris (UG Aggro Control)

All 3 Games were quite tight (the last one only because of the potential on Tabris' hand). Don't really remember exact situations in the first games (they contained but were not limited to Treachery, control magic and sower of temptation in one game and fighting against elspeth and her minions, Flicker Whisp being pathed to exile by it's own master (treachery was attending), and stuff like that). About the last game I can tell exactly because it was like the best start my deck can produce (against goldy the fishyfish of cause). It looked like:
T1: vial
T2:crusade, javalineer(vial)
T3:factory, soltari champion, kami of ancient law(vial) targeting his control magic (targeting champion)
T4:Wilt-Leaf Liege
T5:Ajani
Tabris played Lorescale Coatl in Turn 3 (he also started the game) and after I destroyed is Turn 4 control magic and he couldn't counter Ajani, he played Pestermite at beginning of combat in my Turn 5 tapping soltari Champion. So I put Liege and Javalineer into the red zone untapped, then throwing the jav right in the direction of the ugly faerie. He had to block the soldier and then conceeded after finding no fast enough solution on his sixth turn.

So it was a good start into my first HLL season and I really hope it's going on like that (especially, of course, with nice guys and much fun like today)

Pennywise (Elves) vs Gobinpiledriver (Survival?) 1:2

First game he killed me by overpowering me small cratures with his giant Walls + Doran and clearing the board with an earthquake...

Second game he has Saffi+Crypt Champion+Caller of the Claw combo but I have Essence Warden + Maelstrom Pulse so he had no token and I was at ~10.000life when he was pacting for Jund Charm but I can get my Caller of the Claw aand kill him with 7 2/2 beaters

Third game he had a real fast start with Birds into Garruk producing Beasts and Swords to Plowshares removing my Wellwisher.
Then he played Bloodbraid Elf into Witness returning Swords...

I also made too many mistakes in the first game, 'cause I was a bit tired :`( (personal note: don't play again this late :P)

irenicus(UB-dreamhalls) - marchhare(5c-control) 0-2

First game i slow him down then drop glen elendra archmage with U open ( i had library online) and let him hear voices from the void the following turn with misdirection backup.

G2 i drop kitchen finks T3, then knight of the reliquary, then gaddok teeg with no relevant cards left in hand, he has library (first turn) with some acceleration.

He plays many tutors, but doesnt do anything wich influences the game, until he plays duress with 11 life, ive got 10 power on the board and play fire in response so that he has to choose the left sundering vitae to be discarded.
Standing under pressure now he plays a tutor, and passes with 2 mana open.
I draw miscalculation and counter his into the roil on knight ( the roil should have been played when i didnt have any cards --> his turn   :-\ ).
Afterwards he claims that he made some wrong plays, so the game could have evolved different (he played ca. 3 tutors..)


thanks for the games; good luck and much fun for each participant  ;)

Goblin Piledriver (4C-Blood)    vs Pennywise(GB-Elves)
2:1

Game1: Goblin Piledriver is beginning
T1:Taiga + Noble Hierach -- Forest + Nettle Sentinel
T2: Misty Rainforest(Bayou) + Anurid Brushhoper --  Forest + Essence Warden + Fyndhorn Elves
T3: Jungle Shrine + Kitchen Finks -- Elvish Visionary + Overgrwon Tomb + Boreal Druid
T4: Wall of Blossom + Bitterblossom -- Chameleon Colossus
T5: Mind Twist(X=3, he discards Gempalm Strider, Plow Under, Nameless Inversion)  --  Forest
T6: Forest + Doran t.S.T. + Wall of Roots -- Hunting Triad
T7:                          -- Wirewood Lodge                (Pennywise attaked with Chameleon, I blocked with the 2 Walls, he forgot my Doran)
T8:                          --
T9: Plains+ Earthquake(X=3) ....

Pennywise attaked me with his Chameleon Colossus into Wall of Blossom and Wall of Roots as Doran where online. Then I could attack him with my creatures and Faery Tokens.
At the end I won with my bigger creatures and faerys from Bitterblossom.

Game 2: Pennywise is beginning
T1: Forest + Wirewood Symbiote -- Sacred Foundry
T2: Overgrown Tomb + Gempalm Strider -- Sunpetal Grove + Survival o.t.F.
T3:Sylvian Library     --  Misty Rainforest(Forest) + survival Saffi to Anger + survival Anger to Caller if the Claw
T4:draws a card with Library + Essence Warden  -- Windswept Haeth(Bayou) + Flametongue Kavu(Symbiote)
T5: Forest + Thornweald Archer -- Blood Crypt + survival Caller to Crypt Champion + Crypt Champion
    I get 10.000 2/2 Bears he gets 30.000 Life, I attaked for 19.600 damage
T6: Maelstrom Pulse(destroys 20.000 Tokens) --Arc Lightning( Essence Warden to hand, Thornweald Archer, Wirewood Symbiote) + Llanowar Elves
T7:draws 2 Cards with Library + Essence Warden + Birchlore Ranger+ Priest of Titania(I survival Troll Ascetic to Genesis) --Sword of Fire and Ice(Kavu) + survival Genesis to Eternal Witness
T8: Twinblade Slasher + Jagged-Scar Archers + Deranged Hermit -- Poluted Delta(Swamp) + Tainted Pact(Jund Charm) + Jund Charm(Pennywise playsChord of Calling(Wirewood Herald(Caller of the Claw))
...

I went quickly into Combo, but with his Essence Warden he got to much Life(30.000) to kill him in one attack. He played next Turn Maelstrom Pulse on my Tokens. I then prepared the newstart of the combo with Jund Charm, and he used by Chord of Calling the Caller of the Claw. So I lost.

After the match I realized that I actually had made 20.000 2/2 Bears by activating Saffi 10.000 times. So I could had destroyed Pennywise 30.000 Life in Turn. But I thought they were 10.000  2/2 Bears for the Saffi action. Maybe I should play only when i am not tired.

Game 3: GoblinPiledriver is beginning
T1: Savannah + Birds of Paradise -- Misty Rainforest(Murmuring Bosk)
T2: Godless Shrine    --  Wellwisher
T3: Mountain + Garruk Wildspeaker(3/3 Beast) -- Elvish Visionary + Verdant Catacomb(Bayou)
T4: 3/3 Beast+ Swords to Plowshares(Wellwisher) + Wooded Foothills(Bayou) + Bloodbarid Elf(Eternal Witness(S.t.P.) --Yavimaya Hollow + Wirewood Hivemaster
T5: Swords to Plowshares(Hivemaster) + Kitchen Finks + 3/3 Beast -- Summoner's Pact(W.S) + Wirewood Symbiote + Gaea's Cradle + Garruk Wildspeaker(3/3 Beast)
...

I had a brutal start with Bird Garruk, Bloodbraid Elf, Kitchen Finks,Eternal Witness and 2 Swords t.P., so I won quickly.


Thanks for the exiting games.

Quote from: Mythrandir on 08-11-2009, 05:09:07 PM@Sturmgott, wouldn't expected to see a Velidar hitting the board... Is the "you win" ability any relevant?

It wasn't yet, but I just had my first match with Felidar in play. Primarily he makes it very, very hard to win for aggro decks because of the combination lifelink + vigilance.

I'm playing it since the release now, but haven't ever won with it besides the combat step, even though I play some decent amout of lifegain.

Helle (RG Beats) - Seveneyes (Reanimator)

Game 1:
I got a T1 Noble Hierarch and T2 Boggard Ram Gang that is send back to the library with Bant Charm. I waste one of his lands and play witness to get the Wasteland back. He plays Brainstorm and Kitchen Finks. As he is tapped out, I really like to see the Winter Orb from the top and screwing him even more with the Wasteland so that he didn't have any buissnes at all. River Boa seals the game.

Game 2:
He plays a T2 Careful Study discarding Akroma. I got Frenzied Goblin and Radha, which prevent his Call of the Herd token from blocking. He plays Makeshift Mannequin to get Akroma to play which wins him the game, as I didn't find any awnsers with a Magma Jet.

Game 3:
I play T2 Mongrel while he summons a Nezumi Graverobber which trades with the Viridian Zealot I play the next turn. I play Witness + Grim Lavamancer while he gets Survival online. On his next turn he plays Dance of the Dead to get back a Blazing Archon but I got Sarkhan Vol witch ends the game.

So I win 2:1

DerStefan (UWb Artifacts) : Seveneyes (BWr Discard) 0:2
In the first Game I start to empty his hands, which he refills with Land Tax. Two Exalted Angels are staring each other in the face until Martial Coup gives him some Token instead. The following turns I get his Angel back with Necromancy, play a Lavaborn Muse and make him discard everything. The Muse brings him from 21 to 9 (new record!), but a Maze of Ith prevents me from winning with the Angel. He plays Moat, I remove it with Kor Sanctifiers. He plays Platinum Angel, I grill it with Flametongue Kavu. And finally he falls to my army.

Second Game I open with Hymn to Tourach, but Brainstorm saves him his favourites, I hit Exalted Angel and Wrath of God anyway. He plays Intuition for Thopter Foundry, Academy of Ruins and Crucible for Worlds, but my Phyrexian Furnace prevents any weird stuff happening. He has Maze of Ith again, which gets rebuild to the cemetery through Dust Bowl, same happens to the Academy. He drops some mana artifacts and let 16 Soldier Token enter the battlefield through Martial Coup, luckily I have Damnation.
A bit later he gets a Tezzeret into play, which is a real threat with some artifacts lying around on his side. An Abyss says no to any creature activity on my side. Faith Fetters neutralizes Tezzeret for the moment, but gets destroyed by Vindicate. Hellfire Mongrel and Anathemancer reduce his loyalty preventing the deadly strike until finally I can vindicate his Abyss and kill him with an Exalted Angel equipped with a big Sword and a Tidehollow Sculler who took his Rout.

Really close and exciting matches!

Pute (Reanimator) 0:2 Olord (RDW)

Unluckily he is screwed in both games and a combination of land-destruction and burn for his mana-creatures results in a somewhat unexciting match.

gl next time!

Mythrandir 5CC VS Pute 5C stax?
2:0

Game 1: he started with LoA, i played vesuva targeting LoA  ;D he plays some mana artifacts i played pridemage + doran, he played smokestack i played explosives for 2 and killed stx with pride. A mana drain on his FoF gave me mana for the final blow with demonfire.

Game 2: He starts with workshop + coalition relic. i played a furnace, he played rector i played trygon.. he WOGS, after that... we don't do much... i start Loaming and wastelading his nonbasic, my exalted got RFG, eventually i had too much CA and he conceded.

thks for playing. LoA is really, really powerful.

The_Ocean (Oath) vs. Firestarter (Aluren,Swans,Adnausems.dec)
I win 2-1

G1. We bouth drew lots of cards from LoA, he had played aluren with i belive 3 cards in hand, he was taped out i had daze, but he had the simian spiritguide to pay for daze and an Imperial Recruiter to go into life+cards+mana+ Conflagrate for 99999

G2. Im able to resolve a Mind Twist for his hole hand, and i had Dust Bowl + Loam

G3. He had suspended a Lotus Bloom, he also had a Grim Monolith, i play tainted pact to get Deed, we both had LoA out so we drew a ton of cards i plat Deed when lotus bloom has 1 counter to blow up in his upk, he taped the bloom and Monolith to play FoF, Thirst and impulse, on my turn i wasted some land and from there was draw go but i had life from the loam, at the end i hard cast Empyrial Archangel, after takeing a Noble Hierarch beatdown for about 6 damege, and that was the match

It felt like he could win at any moment, the games where really good.

Goblin Piledriver (Naya-Zoo)   vs Helle (UGB-Landfall-Controll) (seems to be Finnland style)
2:1

Game1: Helle is beginning
T1:       Mox Diamond + Thoughtseize(Incinerate)    -- Figure of Destiny
T2:      Birds of Paradise --  River Boa
T3:      Sower of Temptation(River Boa) --Lightning Helix(River Boa)
T4                       -- Jund Hackblade
T5:           Wickerbough Elder  -- Swords to Plowshares
T6:   Sensei's Divining Top + Venser, Shaper Savant(River Boa)  -- Skyknight Legionnaire
T7: Recurring Nightmare(Birds of Paradise to Venser(Skynight L.)) -- Skyknight Legionnaire(got a Mana Leak)
T8:  Recurring Nightmare(Venser to Sower of Temptation(Jund Hackblade) -- Mutavault + Garruk Wildspeaker + River Boa
T9: Recurring Nightmare(Sower toVenser(Garruk) -- Oblivion Ring(Sower o.T.)  ...

I got good pressure with Figure, River Boa and Skynight Legionaire which I supported by Removal so I won before it was too late against Helle's Recurring Nightmare Action.

Game2: Helle is beginning
T1:           -- Mother of Runs
T2: Sakura-Tribe Elder -- Granger Guildmage + Grim Lavamancer
T3: Wateland(G/W)   -- Figure of Destiny( got a Condescend)
T4:                           -- Wasteland(U/B)
T5:Vedalken Shackles --
T6:                           --  Knight of the Reliquary
T7: evoke Shriekmaw to Knight --
T8: Grazing Gladehart       --
T9: Fact or Fiction(into 5 Lands) --
T10:   Intuition(Recurring N.,Ravenous Baloth, Eternal Witness) -- Garruk Wildspeaker(3/3 Beast)
T11: Treachery(Beast) + Ravenous Baloth --  Sarkhan Vol
T12:
T13:
T14:                                      -- Chain Lightning
T15: Vendillion Clique             ---
T16: Primal Command(Life and Creature) + Looter il Kor  ...

I draw infinte Lands so even Garruk and Sarkhan Vol can't win the game for me.

Game 3: Goblin Piledriver is beginning
T1: Isamaru, H.o.K.   -- Chrome Mox(Worm Harvest)
T2:                           -- Regrowth(Fetchland) + Phyrexian Furnance
T3: Tangle Wire         --
T4: Burst Lightning(Helle)  -- Psychatog
T5: Swords to Plowshares(Psychatog) +Boggart Ram-Gang --  Wickerbough Elder
T6: Rip-Clan Crasher + Fire Ambush(Helle)  --  Engineered Explosives(1)
T7: Kitchen Finks        --  Eternal Witness(Engineered Explosives) + Noble Hierarch
T8: Kird Ape               --  Treachery(Kird Ape) + Recurring Nightmare(Kird to Eternal Witness)
T9: Volcanic Hammer ...

My aggro mode ended in Turn 7, but he had low life. 2 Turns later my deck gave me the burn which I have waited for. No turn too late, with his Recurring Nightmare action I was close to a Defeat.

GG's
Greetings Piledriver

The_Ocean (Oath) vs. Tabris (UG)
I Win 2-0

G1. he plays Vendilion Clique that finds me an Oath, the Oath sticks and we are on to g2

G2. G2 was close, he plays a Back to Basics, i luckily have the FoW, couple turns later Oath trigers, he was actually able to use the oath to his favor to get a couple of blockers for my Empyrial Archangel, but after a couple turns and an EE it was gg

I got really lucky on the last game, overall really good games

Sensenmann (BGw-Rock) 2:1 Peeler (UWG-Enchantress)

First Game:
I didn't know what he is playing so I mulliganed my harmonic sliver away to get more lands. Epic fail since he plays enchantress. On the third turn he gets a garruck online and due to mana acceleration and wastes a land. After I hit my third land I play pernicious deed, which he can stop with a seal of cleansing. Meanwhile the Beasttoken hits me retty bad. He plays veduran enchantress and I kill it with shriekmaw. Veduran comes back with a little help by regrowth and he starts drawing cards. Thanks to Oath of Ghouls I am able to block each of his attacks several times until he resolves a Opalescence to apply more pressure. But I can kill some enchantments thanks to shriekmaw recursion. After some time with more of my creatures advancing he resolves humility... ::). After that the game is lost for me and we go to game 2. But the rules for opalescence and humility are quite interesting to read  :P.

Second Game:
Another Epic story to be told. First of all I have a better start with saffi eriksdotter beating him twice till propaganda hits the board. After that I manage to kill every enchantress he plays: Veduran, Femeref, Yavimaya. But then turns the board. He plays Garruck again, and can destroy my survival of the fittest. After that he casts Humility and Opalescence so that his enchantments aren't 1/1 but really big like humility a 4/4. I already think, that I have lost, but have some critters to block his enchantments. After I lost all my creatures in my seemingly last battle I topdeck Living Death! To win with humility gone was a piece of cake after that  :).

1:1 so far.

Third Game:
The third game was quite fast with me hitting him with my beasts I created with garruck and he only topdecks lands.

So 2:1 in the end. Thanks for the really intense and close games.

The_Ocean (5color Control/Oath?)0:2 Olord (RDW)

In game 1 I slowly drain his life as he has many answers, but nothing to put me on pressure.

Game 2 he keeps a hand with only Library of Alexandria, which I can luckily destroy with a first-turn Wasteland.  :o After that, he doesn't draw a land for two or three turns and when he finally starts to play spells, it's already to late. Sorry for that  :)

The_Ocean (5cc) 0:2 No Stress (Deadguy)

G1 I get to play thoughtseize, a Dark Confidant which gets Spell Snared, and a Tombstalker which was the only card left after Mind Twist. He doesn't have an answer, and the demon takes it home.
Lucky there :)

G2 He starts with Wasteland + Loam, I play Jotün Grunt and remove them, he gets lots of lands and a Dust bowl and takes all my lands, I get a Mox Diamond and some basics with the top, Looter Il-Kor takes it home along with negate and countersquall found with the top.
Really close game.

Mythrandir 5cc VS Derstefan82 WBU staxx
2:1

Don't recall very well, because the 2 first games were played yesterday, so for any incorrections i apologize.

Game 1: I remember the crucial play waas him playing elsepth. After that i had to try and kill it and did with her ultimate being able to trigger next turn. However i was only at 1life point. eventually a geddon wiped me out(i think... lol)

Game 2: again elspeth on the board :( managed to clear it again, and when the board/game was balanced the game crashed :(

new game 2: I really don't know how i won.

Game 3: He starts and plays land tax + standstill. we both play some lands, till i break the standstill. I dropped a trygon predator and he dropped rector. the board was cleared with a oblivion stone and he got a a nether void which was destroyed with a 6CMC mortify. At this point i had LFTL going with 1 cycle land. he dropped some manlands + crucible. But a mistake on his part, RFG all graves with relic gave me the upper hand, i cycled the land to save the LFTL. Then an intuition + FoF just gave me too much CA for him and he conceded (only had lands...)

Thks for playing.

Sensenmann (5c-Reanimator) vs. Nastaboi (Mono-U-Combo) 2:1

First Game I'm mana- and colourscrewed. My only action in the whole game is discarding a creature at end of turn and reanimating it in the next turn. On turn 5 Nastaboi goes in combo mode with extraplanar lens imprint snow-covered island. Frantic search, peregrine drake, spellweaver volute, gifts ungiven, snap... and each of it multiple times sthanks to the spellweaver volute. Combo on turn 5, nice one!

Second Game I can play entomb in his first end of turn step and in my second turn dance of the dead on my woodfall primus, taking his island. But I am screwed again and hoe that my primus will do it in three turns. In his seemingly last turn he plays peer through deep for repulse but only has 2 mana left. So I untap my Primus once again and he plays dizzy spell :-). Ok he goes down to 2 and can untap again. After I pay the untapcosts in my next turn he plays repulse. End of turn I discard the primus. Luckily he can't go off on his next turn. I play draw go and want to discard again. But he wants to play cryptic command in my end of turn step. I play necromancy in response onto my primus taking him lands again. After his next draw he types GG. Without that cryptic command I think I would've lost the game...

Third Game he starts with Island and Sensei's divining top I play only Island. Second turn I play demonic tutor, he looks into the top, draws fetches with his misty rainforest and plays his just drewn spell snare. I can daze it and grab entomb with the tutor. Next turn I play entomb in upkeep onto iona and then reanimate stating blue with iona. After he doesn't find his sole fireball (he has extraplanar lens once again) he scoops.

Fast Games, but nonetheless exciting. Thanks Nastaboi.

Goblin Piledriver (UGB-Landfall-Controll)  vs  der Stefan  (Esper-Staxx)
2:0

Game1: Goblin Piledriver is beginning:
T1:
T2: Life from the Loam(Fetchland)  -- Standstill
T3:Yavimaya Elder(breaking Standstill)  -- Morph creature
T4:Vendilion Clique(no Engineered Explosives) -- flips Exalted Angel
T5:                                        --  Baneslayer Angel(get Cryptic Command(bounce Ex. Angel))

T8: Looter shots down Morphcreature(Exalted Angel)  --  transmuting Tolaria West to E.E. + Engineered Explosives(2)(re Wydwen, the Biting Gale)
...
I've had to decide if I wait forever or break Standstill early, I had several creatures in hand and 1 land. So I decide to break it directly. I wouldn't get advantage
for waiting forever and the creatures had become worthless.
I use Cryptic Command perfectly,Vendeliion Clique and Yavimaya Elder plus Sword won me the game quickly. (even against Wrath)

T12:                                     -- Life from the Loam(2 Fetchlands,1 cycling Land) + Recurring Nightmare
T13:Chalice of the Void(2)(get Remand) + Chalice of the Void(2) + Ravages of War(re survival Sakura T.E to Genesis to Rampaging Baloth to Llanowar Elves)
              --  Mox Diamond + Llanowar Elves  + using Recurring Nightmare to Rampaging Baloth + Fetchland ...

He plays early The Abyss and Winter Orb. I destroy much later Winter Orb.
At the end he play Ravages of War where I had Survival o.t.F and Recurring Nightmare online. So I used it to build a Rampaging Baloth and with Fetchlands the game was clearly over.


The first game durated 20 minutes , the second durated 35 minutes.
Very exiting and hard games. GG's
Greetings Piledriver

jfk (white weenie) 2:0 Olord (RDW)

First game it's a tough trading of creatures and spells, until he finally manages to overwhelm me with two weenies pumped by glorious anthem.

Second game I keep an amazingly strong hand with Goblin Guide and other stuff, but the game crashes before we begin...DAMMIT! 

Second second game I start with many hasty creatures and genju of the spires, whereas he's got a slow start. When he's at 6 life and I've got Chain Lightning, I don't manage to draw something to kill him in two turns, so he spontaneously decides to pulverize me  with parallax wave, ranger of eos into burrenton forge-tender and mother of runes, ajani goldmane and other awesome stuff^^

helle (UBG Survival) 0:2 No Stress (Deadguy)

1st game helle manascrews, I Mortify Survival and apply enough pressure.

2nd game I can't remember, something with jotün Grunt messing with his grave I think.

I do remember the game we played afterwards though, getting pwned by Ravenous Baloth + Garruk combo :p

good games

Nastaboi (High Tide) 0:2 No Stress (Deadguy)

1st game was turn one Isamaru, turn two Sygg (the good half), turn three mana drain into FoF next turn.

2nd game was mana stall from Nastaboi, he drew like 13 cards without finding one land.

would have liked too see that deck go off, not often Spellweaver Volute see's play :p

Seveneyes (BWR) vs. Pennywise (Elves) 1:2

First game he has an answer to every creature i play and finaly kills me with Exalted Angel+Elspeth.

Second game he is manascrewed and I manage to kill him, before he finds enough land.

Third game he has an early Spectral Lynx + Exalted Angel but I have both Swords equipped to a creature and win on cardadvantage.

Helle 2 - Irenicus 1

gg

peeler (UG-Control) - Vazdru (UGb-Control)

1st: I won the roll and started with T1: Tropical + Elves, T2: Clique in his draw step for quality advantage (he had a decent hand with Comp Research, Trinket Mage, Gifts, Force of Will, Evacuation, one land + Mana Leak - so i took mana leak), T3: Thirst for knowledge for card advantage. I dropped some little guys (Werebear, Witness, Wall, Elder) and countered his key cards with CC and Miscalculation for the win.

Imo it was a mistake not to counter Clique with FoW removing Evacuation - after that he would have had the option for Mana Leak next threat.

2nd: He started with T2 Life from the Loam, T3 Wasteland - bad luck for him he didn't find a single land in his first 9 dredged cards and I play UGb-BASIC so WL+Loam didn't hurt me much ;-) So he stuck on 3 Lands with Finks, Harmonize, Careful Considerations ... in hand. After Duress + Vendillion Clique for LftL game has been over.

thx for ggs

Firestarter (Reanimator) - seveneyes (discard rwB) 2-0

sorry, no time to write a big report, the games were short an i wo in turn 6 or 7.

Firestarter - Seveneyes 2:0

First game we play last week. He plays survival.deck. After some rounds I have Liliana Vess in play and a beater, a Profane Command is the top card of my library. He has 4 life, a Survival, 5 mana and no cards in hand, the top card of his library is a creature. Then the game crashes (never experienced a worse moment for that) and we postpone the match.

Next time he plays Reanimator.deck. First game he gets an Oona into play and is handdown again. I have two lands, Oblivion Ring and some other cards, but never draw the third land.

Second game he Exhumes quickly a Bogardan Hellkite and I dont have removal to handle it.

plz never switch or let your opponent switch the deck during a match even you get interrupted or the game crash somehow

thx in advance

I have to say that his connectfailed three times before this game situation, so I tried to play a deck witch could win a shorter time. (30 Minutes)
Sorry for that. But there is no point that does not allow to change decks, or is it? There were several days between the rematch.

Actually there is:

4) During a match you cannot change your deck. However you may choose a different deck (or make modifications to your deck) for every match.

All rules (of our league) are to be found here:
http://www.magicplayer.org/forum/index.php?topic=231.0

I strongly recommend to all members, specially new ones, to read them :)

The problem in changing decks, is that the person who does, has an advantage over the other ( mulligan rule, etc, etc..)


edited: If for any reason you can't complete the match in a single day, please post here the security codes of both players and then edit the post to input the report/scoreboard

I absolutely understand your point - game crashes are always kind of frustration. A faster deck is reduzing the risk beeing disconnected during a single game.

But anyway I have to underline the points mentioned by Mytrandir and I 100% agree with him. Sometimes MWS-servers are quite unstable. Its better to reshedule the match on a different server and/or different date.

Even against Mythrandir  ;) it's sometimes possible to play 3 games without server-errors  ;D

Often its not mws but the server that screws up. Ive played all my games on this server

magic-league.servegame.com:4747

with great succes. No crashes at all.

Sturmgott (5c Heartbeat Combo) vs. Marchhare (5c Survival Control) 2:1

Game 1: When the first game started, I noticed that I couldn't see any card pictures (the picture directories obviously were not set up correctly), so I asked Marchhare whether we could restart the game. After some discussion he was a nice guy and so we restarted the match. This time he won the die roll and started. He had a fast start with T1 Noble Hierarch and T2 the Coldsnap Snake that draws cards when it deals damage to a player. All I have in hand is lots of mana acceleration, T1 I play Wayfarer's Bauble, my T2 Sakura Tribe Elder gets countered. While he keeps putting creatures on the board I play Nature's Lore and sac the Bauble. When he has amassed enough creatures on the board to kill me next turn, I manage to go into combo mode. I play Heartbeat with one Forest and two mana from a mana drain on his Eladamri's Call, play worldly counsel for 4, find Gifts Ungiven (he was tapped out) and play it for Early Harvest, Palinchron, Rude Awakening and Turnabout. He chooses Palinchron and Turnabout to be put into my graveyard. I produce 29 Mana with the help of Early Harvest, play Rude Awakening with Entwine with mana from my pool, then play Invoke the Firemind for 18 Damage vs. Marchhare (he goes to 4 life), then attack with 11 lands. He has only one blocker (Wall of Reverence) and thus goes to -16.

Game 2 his start is too fast for me, with T1 Birds and then very quick Tarmogoyf (3/4), Trygon Predator, Ghitu Fire Slinger and Elspeth. I would have needed one more turn this time which was due to the fact that I could not accelerate because of initially no green mana.

Game 3 looks like an easy victory for me at first, since he went to 6 after spoiling and then was manascrewed on two land, while I got more and more powercards onto the board: Candelabra of Tawnos, Vernal Bloom, Solemn Simulacrum, Mind Over Matter, Coiling Oracle. While he slowly recovers from being screwed I keep hitting at him with my two beaters. When his life total finally has dropped to 7 life, he gets Survival of the Fittest on the table, presents me soon after with Glen Elendra Archmage and Gaddock Teek (who had attacked me), but now is tapped out and at 5 life. I finally find some business with this year's best top deck: Timetwister! I twister his yard away and fill my hand with ammo for the MoMa. I even have more card drawing so I can tap Glen Elendra and attack for 3, keeping a full hand of seven. When it's his draw step, I go on and keep all his forests (Tropical, Basic Forest, Savannah) plus the Scrubland and Volcanic Island, leaving him with only the Wasteland as available mana. He tries to Survival something helpful in his draw step and plays Mystic Snake so as to have at least an additional blocker. I play Remand on the snake. In his main phase, he plays a Bloodstained Mire, fetches for Taiga, and tries to play Wall of Roots and in quick succession Birds of Paradise. If I let this happen, he would have had too many blockers (4) for me to kill him in my final attack. So I asked him to wait and countered his Wall of Roots with my Pact of Negation, going to one card in hand. He didn't have any mana left after that so he was unable to cast the Birds. It was then my turn, I payed the pact ion my upkeep and then I tapped both his creatures with MoMa. The attack brought him to -2.

Good games!!

Mythrandir 5cc VS cadaj RGU something
2:0

Not very interesting games, due to manascrew

game 1: he plays fetch and passes, next turn doesn´t drop a land. when he finds a island he seraches for taiga and i wasteland it. he regrowths the traiga i regrowth the wasteland. he plays a quirion elf + call of herd. he even plays BTB but i had pridemage in hand. i play deed cleaning the board. next turn i dropped a doran and won. first game mana screw for him.

game 2: he gets stuck at 2 lands again. i drop an early loxodon + goyf. he plays a bop but gets killed.

Not very good games. sry for the screw :(

Sturmgott (Elves!) vs. Irenicus (B/R Suicide) 2:0

Report later.

No Stress (fish 'n' chips^^) 0:2 Olord (RDW)

First game I mulligan to six but start with Mogg Fanatic and Hearth Kami, which gets smothered. After we wasteland each other (he destroyed my attacking Blinkmoth Nexus), he's left with a Tidehollow Sculler equipped with the haste-shroud-boots (what's their name?)against my Mogg Fanatic and Keldon Marauders. Whereas he doesn't draw a land for several turns, I manage to get enough land for demonfire, which brings him to two. EOT I sac Mogg Fanatic and have Threshhold, so I can kill him with Barbarian Ring in my turn.

Second game he's got the boots again and I'm stuck on two mana, so it's a race between Goblin Patrol and the nice Sygg (+ stonecloaker later). When I get a third land, I strike for 8 with Ball Lightning and Patrol (which brings him to 3) and because of a mistake in Pondering he cannot kill me the following turn. In my turn, - after the attack -  again an epic Demonfire (for 1^^) seals the deal (I'm at 1 and of my three lands was one Barbarian Ring, so quite lucky there).

Very fast but close games, thx!

Sensenmann (5c Reanimator)1:2 vs Tabris (UG AggroControl)

G1: Sensemann is able to cast a turn 2 reanimate on Emperial Archangel and just beat me to 2 life with a Phantom Nishoba. I am not able to find any answers for his fast beatdown so we go straight to game 2

G2: Sensenmann takes a mulligan to 6 and is spoiling and got only lands. I can cast a 1st turn Furnace which is the best answer my deck can give to his reanimator but he is not able to bring any threats to the table and I just beat him to death with a trygon predator and beast token from garruk.

G3: He is able to reanimate a Razia, but cant attack with her, bc of my maze so he tutor for a wasteland. Ive got a regrowth and witness and bring back my maze. Some rounds later I attack with a 4/5 Tarmogoyf. Sensenmann is blocking him with Razia and try to activate her abilty, but ive got a stifle and both creatures are dying. From this point I just have an Glen Alendra Archmage and Elephant token on my board, but Sensenmann got nothing except an Karmic guide at 2 lifes, i show him my Mana Drain and the game is over.

Sturmgott (Elves!) vs. Peeler (URG Control) 2:1

Sry, I'm on my way to the cinema ("Law Abiding Citizen")... so no time for a report.

The_Ocean($taxx) vs. MrGreen(Survival)
2:1

Game 1: I resolve a winter orb, and i had dust bowl with a couple of lands and some artifacts that where untaping under the orb. i dusted his green surces and played a top, he didnt drew lands, and seid its ok to just go to g2

Game 2: He had 1st turn bird, and i had fetch, he had 2nd turn land, on my second turn i shuld had played the fetch in my hand 1st but i desided to crak the one in pplay, and he had the aven mindsensor, that guy almost whent all the way considering the circumstances that all i had where fetches and colorles lands.

Game 3: This game was a real bumer, when the game was geting interesting he got a failure and gave me the win

gg's and the best of luck to MrGreen.

Vazdru (UBG survival) 1:2 No Stress (Weird Fishes)

Game 1 was interesting until my tundra got wasted, just downhill from there with tarm and finks beatings.

Game 2 was more of a game, though I had library out, and Vazdru kept drawing lands. I finally played Tombstalker (and untapped it with pestermite for blocking a Werebear :D).

Game 3 went well for both of us for a long time, I started out with library again, he plays tsabos web(!), I play an elspeth which Shriekmaw owns, he gets loam but without any real targets, ending up with something like 14 lands on the table and 9 in hand. Serra Avenger flew overhead ftw.

Thx for games, was fun :)

peeler (4cc) 1:2 cadaj (5c Oath)

1st Game:
First Turn LoA for me generates some Card-Advantage.
When he taps all his Lands, I play Oath with Orchard.
Empyrial Archangel hits the table and attacks a few times.
The turn before I kill him he plays Bribery but I have my second creature on my hand and so I win.

2nd Game:
I get an Orchard on Board without creatures on his side off the table.
As he Krosan Grips it and hits Bribery I concede.

3rd Game:
I got an early Oath, which he can destroy.
Both of us play from the Top of the Deck a long time.
After some time i get an Tainted Pact that gives me a Demonic Tutor to search for Regrowth to get my Oath back online.
The Empyrial Archangel gets destroyed by 3 Dmg from Spirit-Token and Sulfurous Blast.
I Oath into Iona (red) and win the game with her.

Mythrandir 5CC VS Vazdru UGB survival
2:1

I had the luck to enter all 3 games in beatdown mode, which IMO give me the upper hand.

Game 1: I play pridemage + morph exalted, he has some nice plays too, t2 lotus cobra for a 3rd turn gitfts (to try and get rid of my exalted)... folowed by a couple of turns later with intuition (LFTL + coliseum + wasteland) At this point i only had a moat in play. He started LFTLming and i jot jace online. i played glen, but got snatched by shackles, eventually he gathered a army of 1/1 wurms and went for a krosan grip on my moat. GG

Game 2: I play fast again, intuition for critters: doran, goyf, pride. Kept goyf and started attacking. he played a werebear with sword of fire ice, but i manage to get rid of the sword, he started making 1/1 wurms, but a jund charm cleaned the board for me. on my turn i played GIFTS for some "random" cards that would net me the win (necromancy, regrowth, demonfire, sudden shock).

Game 3: he played hermit druid + shadowmage, i played trygon predator, after hermit being dead (and not adding much to the grave/game) i used mana drain o his LFTL but he had misdirection, so i got 5 mana, in my next draw i got glen, played glen + FTK on his shadowmage. he tried sower on my glen but i had a evasive action. After that he played SOTF which got "glened". he played a blocker i drew shriekmaw, and that was it, too much damage on the table for him. He didn't drew anything but lands in this game and i was very lucky with my draws

Thks for playing. Very good 1st game

Misdirection to counter Mana Drain has been some kind of crazy ... or stupid ::)... call it what you like.

thx for the games

But the Mana Drain will fizzle after Misdirection resolves, will it not?

Mana Drain-> LftL
Misdirection->Mana Drain (on Misdirestion)
Misdirection resolves -> Mana Drain fizzles because it doesn't have a valid target (Misdirecition isn't on the stack) anymore. So there won't be 5 Mana in the next Main phase.

Please correct m if I'm wrong, but that's how I understand Misdirection.

Everyone, have a nice weekend.

Mana Drain doesn't deliver any mana though when misdirected to Misdirection by the very same Misdirection. Why? By the time Mana Drain wants to counter Misdirection it's obv long resolved, so Mana Drain is "countered on resolution" for not having any legal target.

MrGreenn (UBWG Survival) vs Utopiaman (UGW Rebelchain Aggro) 2:0
Game 1
I started with Aether Vial. He played Watchwolf. I put Wall of Blossoms into play which was removed by his Oblivion Ring. He played some more creatures and attacked. I played Boneshredder with the Vial, destroyed his Jhessian Infiltrator and blocked a 1/1. Some turns later I got Surival on the tabel and he had Gofy and some other creatures. I found Sower, took his Gofy and killes him.
Game 2
He run the Rebelchain. I played Hierarch and Emeria Angel which Gave me some tokens. Then I put Spike Weaver on the table and it made the game.

If Vazdru likes we can repeat the 3rd game.

there won't be any replay of g3 - it was my fault/stupidness not to know the rules correctly - next time I'll be wiser

In sanctioned tournament Magic, game rule violations like this just let be and are not corrected unless noticed immediately and have not affected players' decisions. For example, in a GP I evoked Mulldrifter, my opponent countered, and then I realized I had no blue mana available. The judges just let both cards stay in graveyard, because I had already seen the counter. Both players will be given a warning for not keeping their eyes open.

Quotenext time I'll be wiser

Next time, in case of doubt, i'll search for the correct ruling. Sorry, buddy! :(
At least this will (try) serve as a lesson for all players, whenever in doubt check it, even if you're 99% sure! It's way better, than creating these "ackward" situations.

Mythrandir 5CC VS utopiaman WR LD featuring swans+chains
2:1

game 1: he played a first turn land tax, i played trygon that got killed. he played cataclysm and kept 1 land + the new quest that puts angels, i kept land + coaltion relic. i got rid of his quest and after that he played swans (got shriekmaw) he play sulfuric vortex and damage race started, in the end a regrowth -> demonic tutor -> demonfire won me the game

Game 2: He plays a 1t turn red genju, and starts going aggro on me, he even a kicked orim thunder on my coalition relic which really screw my plans. i played glen he played chandra. the game crashed, we decided to play with our top 10 cards and see, since i was only at 5. And he won. too fast for me.

Game 3: i play an eladamri call -> trygon predator (got STP) he plays nothing, i play garruk, after that he tries to kill him, but it still lingers there for 3 turns, i played intuition for LFTL + cycle + nantuko and started LFTLing and the played FOF, eventually an eot gifts for some counterbackup kept my nantuko safe to the end. I had too much CA for him, intuition, LFTL, FoF and gifts is just too much.

Thks for playing.

T8: Swans of Bryn Argoll  --   Lightning Bolt(Swans) + Tarmogoyf
T9: Rhystic Lightning(Swans)  --  Chain Lightning(Ajani) + Sword of Fire and Ice
T10:Seal of Cleansing(Sword o.Fa.I) + Incinerate(Swans) -- Boggart Ram-Gang
T11: Transcendence             --  Kami of Ancient Law(Transcendece)  ...

I drawed the second and the third land at round3 and 4, so I was a little screwed at the beginning and I thought there would be no victory for me.
As i played Colossal Might, Utopiamann shoot down the creature targeting it. The losing spree even continue with my River Boa got shot down by Ajani Vengeant.
At this point I thought I really lost.
But then came the turning point. Utopiamann played Swans of Bryn Argoll, I played Lightning Bolt on it getting 3 cards, including the third Land and Tarmogyof.
Tarmogoyf started 3/4. Next Round I shot with Chain Lightning Ajani Vengeant down. So my Tarmogoyf was 5/6. Finally Utopiamann shot my new Sword of Fire and Ice down with Seal of Cleansing, so my Tarmogoyf finally becomes 7/8.
Utopiamann drawed 7 cards with 2 burn spells, luckily he didn't found a proper removal for Tarmogoyf.
At the end Utopiamann(down at 2 life, but with 8 cards), he played Transcendcence and thought he was save.
I had also 7 cards so I played Kami of Ancient Law to kill him.

mr.green (ugw/b-oldschool survival  ;)) - marchhare (5cc) 0-2

G1 was one week ago, i cant remember many facts, but i killed him in the last moment after he was using his genesis + removal creature a couple of rounds.

The second game i kept loa plus bird and 1 fetchland.
He started beatdown with a turn 2 rhox war monk, but i could afford to go down to under 10, and took over the game by playing survival, and garruk + glen elendra archmage the next two turns.

thanks for the games  ;)

The_Ocean(Reanimator) vs. marchhare (5cc)
I win 2:0

Game 1: It was about a week ago, but for what i can remember i reanimated a phantom nishoba and i think it whent all the way.

Game 2: I gat a really good hand on the draw, but he had LoA on the play, coincidently i had one to on the draw, on my second trun i played careful study, 3rd turn reanimate sundering titan, 4th turn reanimate Bogardan Hellkite, and that was that.

ggs all the way.

Jfk (ww)  vs. Pute(reanimator)    1:2

in game 1 i could play oath and oathed iona against a ww.... it was close (becuase of his shadowcreatures) but later with an phantomnishoba it was over.

in game 2 i could only use kederekt leviathan again and again...but in the end i lost (city of brass against rishadan port sucks!)

game 3...he took 2 mulligans and i had animate dead + kederekt leviathan + library + bazaar and so on...

gg and sorry for this short report

The_Ocean(Reanimator) vs. Utopiaman(Boros)
I win 2:0

Game 1: I had entomb for Woodfall Primus, 2nd turn played dande of the dead on it, killing a land, meanwhile he had a Figure of Destiny that was geting biger, i wasn't untaping my primus so i could play some spells until finally i drew a Pernicius deed, that cleared the field and my primus came back with a
-1/-1 counter, after that i reanimated a Hellkite and that was game.

Game 2: I had a second turn Oath with an orchad, and he played land tax, we bouth stayed with 2 lands for a while, i revealed of the oath a psychatog and played a hermit druid of my own, the druid helped pump the psychatog, and with a counter in hand just in case the tog hit for 18.

GG's, and really enjoyed the games.

Goblin Piledriver(Naya-Zoo)   vs  Vazdru(UWG-Oath)
2:1

Game1:
Starting with first round Kird Ape, third Round Wooly Thoctar which got countered, and then Tangle Wire. Vazdru managed to play Idylic Tutor for Oath and killed my Kami of the Ancinet Law. So he won.


Game2:
I played a second Turn Rip-Clan-Crasher, together with Mishra's Factory and Treetop Village I started beating on Vazdru, while he had a Maze of Ith to defend himself. Later I supported this strategy by playing Elspeth for 1/1 soldires. Then at 6 life he played Empyrial Archangel, supported by Coaltion Relic. In my Round I answered with Knight of the Reliquary and Winter Orb.Vazdru starts beating my Elspeth. The Knight defeats Vazdru's Maze of Ith. A round later my creatures killed Empyrial Archangel. Vazdru laid down Solitary Confinement with only Sensei`s Diving Top as support. 2 Rounds before he had to safrice the Confinement I draw Qasali Pridemage. So I won.

The programm crashed directly on starting the third round so I can only report the things I remember.

Game3: Vazdru is beginning
T1: Sensei's Divining Top   --  Akrasan Squire
T2: Faerie Conclave          --  Qasali Pridemage
T3: Crib Swap                  -- Chain Lightning
T4:Idyllic Tutor(Oath)        --  Tarfire
T5: Oath of Druids            --  Oblivion Ring(Oath)
T6: Bloodbraid Elf((Stormfront Pegasus)(Elf get Condescend))  --   Ponder +  Land Tax + Crop Rotation(Faerie Conclave to Maze of Ith)
T7: Garruk Wildspeaker + Tangle Wire  -- Renewed Faith
T8:Skyknight Legionnaire + activating "Overrun" from Garruk   ...

I play fast 2 creatures and remove Oath with Oblivion Ring. Later I can play Garruk and Tangle Wire to prevent him playing Wrath of God. Finally I topdeck a haste creature and with Overrun I even win against Path to Exile.


Good and though games
Greetings Piledriver.

Vazdru (ugb ehhhm survivalcontrol? sorry) vs PuTe (Reanimator)

First Game: In the first game i was nearly without a chance..Combination of beater and counter kills me.

2nd: Again it was really close..But with Double animate-spells (1 was countered by manaleak) i get his spikeweaver to survive until i can play living death.........with maaaaany creatures in my gy

3rd. Again Living Death rescued me. I was on 3 life and got many strong beaters including ancestors chosen.
I was going to loose against his lotus cobra, life from the loam, wasteland, manadrain....starthand (it was about that)I guess i was lucky there ;)

There were a race between Troll Ascetic and Treetop Village against Trygon Predator and Vendillion Clique. With help from Shriekmaw and counter i won the race. Finally I draw Primal Command ,so he conceded.

We were stalling, I stole Spike Weaver, then I played Worm Harvest. I played Shriekmaw and Shadowmage Infiltrator. So I had a clock running. As I couldn't counter anything he played Kikki and Pestermite. I should had paid more attention to this possibilty, but I couldn`t imagine this. So I lost.

Tabrys (UG Aggro.Controll) vs Mythrandir (5cc)

G1: I was really manascrewed and couldnt find any threats. I ve got a Coatl but he had two Maze of Ith and was able to beat me down with his shriekmaw and Glen Alendra, which counterd also my shackles. After 3000 turns I ve got my 5th land but couldnt do anything with

G2: I was able to beat him with an T2 kitchen finks + rancor. His Tarmogyof was 0/1 thanks to my furnace (both games on my starthand) and so he couldnt do anything. Later he could handle my finks but I was able to grow a 9/7 coatl and beat him to death with it.

G3: 1st Turn Library and I was on the draw. Mana Drain, Tarmogyof, Furnace, Back to Basic, Misty Rainforest and Compulsive Research was on my starthand...so after a few turns with much library abuse, I was able to get b2b online + counterbackup and just bash him with my tarmo.

The_Ocean(5C Good stuff) vs. Nastaboi(250)
I win 2:0

Game 1: I have him under some presure with Garruk tokens and a Harmonic Sliver, he had Liliana Vess, and used the -2 geting him Mind Twist, i lost my hand, he then used the ability again geting Battle of Wits, i draw a Lonely Sandbar cycle it and top deck Trygon Predator, he then shows me the Battle of Wits he draws from the planeswalker but its to late, that was one clutch topdeck.

Game 2: I have a Harmonic Sliver destroying a signet, I had a cople of counters and so did he, he had a Dust Bowl killing my Bayou that i tap to play Intuition, geting Witness, Regrowth, and Back to Basics (all his lands where non-basic) he gives me witness since he killed my second Green land, but like a champ i topdeck again, riping a Forest, play witness geting BtB, with two lands open, on his turn he taps all his lands exept one to play Tidings, and i had the counter, on my turn i play the BtB and go all the way with witness and Sliver.

I got really lucky 1st game, but felt they where bouth close games. GGs

MrGreen 5c Survival vs Randomizer Rgb GoblinCombo 2:1

Game 1
I got 2 lands and countered his Piledriver with my Mana Drain. Then I was able to cast an Loxodon Hierach but I had no more luck and did not get any more lands and he killed me.
Game 2
He played Survival and Charbelcher. The game looked nearly lost but I found solutions for both. I got back into to game and his Confident did enough damage to made the game mine.
Game 3
Last one was long and exhausting. He tried to start his combo but I made it very hard with a Needle for his Kiki Jiki and a Deed which destroyed most of his Goblins. In the end I won the game.

Cadaj (Zoo) 1:2 Olord (RDW)

Game 1 we trade some creatures and burnspells until he gets a 4/5 goyf and I play bloodmoon+magus of the scroll+Everlasting torment. So I can slowly defeat his goyf, but he manages to burn me out before I can kill him.

Game 2 he is mana-screwed and I kill him after roasting some weenies.

Game 3 I am Manascrewed and he beats me for a while, until I finally get lands, lots of creatures and board control. However, he is on 22 and I am within range of two or three burnspells. Since he has 4 cards in his hand, it's very thrilling, but unluckily the server totally crashes and we cannot reconnect.

Game 4 I've got a good start with the right amount of lands, creatures and burn and after some battling I can overwhelm his defenses.

very nice and close games, sorry for the crash though.

r4nd0m1z3r (Goblins) 2:0 The_Ocean (5CC)

G1
T1 Mountain, Jeweled Amulet, Charge it -- LOA
T2 Mutavault, Goblin Recruiter. EOT: draw -- Fetchland
T3 Volraths Stronghold, Goblin Ringleader. Sac Fetchland for Bayou, Tainted Pact finding Daze, Force of Will the Ringleader removing Daze -- Land
T4 Aunties Hovel, Boggart Birth Rite on Ringleader, ATT: Recruiter -- Misty Rainforest finds Volcanic Island, Noble Hierarch. EOT: Charge Amulet
T5 Ringleader. Mana Leak ATT: Recruiter -- Kitchen Finks, Vesuva copying my Stronghold, killing both.

At this point, he started attacking for 4 with Finks and I was down to 3 lands, but he was low on cards in hand and I had Goblin Warchief, Frogtosser Banneret, Siege-Gang and Kiki-Jiki waiting on top of my library. In my hand I still had a Mogg War Marshall and a Stingscourger. So, I draw and play Warchief, but it too gets countered/destroyed. He plays Draw-Attack-Go and I resolve the Banneret together with Mogg War Marshall.
Over the next 2 turns, with the help of my Amulet, he cant stop SGC from entering play, and when I go Matron into Prospector into Kiki, its looking really good for me. He plays Arc Lightning on my Kiki, but I have a Mogg Raider in play to counter that. He concedes.

G2
T1 Fetchland -- Swamp, Chrome Mox (Goblin Cadets), Lackey, Senseis Divining Top.
T2 Island -- UPKP: Top ATT: Lackey -> Matron (Kiki), Firelit Thicket, Bob.
T3 no land -- ATT -> Kikicomes into play, Taiga, Mogg Raider. EOT: Tainted Pact finding Bloodstained Mire.
T4 Mire finding Volvanic Island, Arc Lightning (I sac the Raider and the Lackey to make Kiki 4/4). EOT: Kiki copying Matron (Goblin Chieftain) -- UPKP: Top finding Worldly Tutor, revealing it with Bob and playing it to find Goblin Piledriver.

Then I realize I am one mana short for Chieftain and Piledriver, so I activate Kiki on Matron, finding Goblin Warchief ftw.


Anyways, Im starting to like this place. Friendly players and exciting matches. s33 y4

Nastaboi Battle of Wits - Olord RDW

2 - 0

I kept Ghostly Prison, Kitchen Finks and lands mulliganing the rest. I smiled as he opened with Jackal Pup and Genju. Top found me Baneslayer Angel and enough protection to keep it for four swings.

I drew Battle in my opening in the second game, and had enough basics to avoid dying to Price of Progress. Fast games!

Sturmgott (Heartbeat Combo) - Vazdru (URW SwansFire) 2:1

Game 1 I die to his fast HQ critters, namely Aven Mind Censor, Glen Elendra Archmage, Venser.

Game 2 an early Mana Drain vs. his Darksteel Ingot gives me enough mana to play Palinchron on my turn 4, +Coiling Oracle, + Solemn Simulacrum. He never gets rid of the Palinchron and dies to it even though he resolves a Wildfire.

Game 3 I have an absolutely bad opening hand, but I'm optimistic since I have 5 lands, Force of Will and Mirari's Wake. While he massively accelerates with artifacts, I can only play one land a turn and say go. Luckily he doesn't have any critters in his first few turns, so I'm still at twenty when the beatdown starts midgame. First he drops an Ajani Vengeant, keeps my Plains tapped. I play Time Warp in my turn and with my now untapped plains I cast Mirari's Wake. I still have my Force of Will from the opening hand, a Pact of Negation in between countered his Glen Elendra Archmage. When he finally gets me into trouble with a Kitchen Finks equipped with SoFaI, I find another forest and thus I can despite my only other forest being Ajanied play Early Harvest. I draw 15 cards with Brain Geyser, find Rude Awakening among these, plus Stroke of Genius. I even have a red X-burn spell in hand, but I have already played the forest in that turn and didn't have any red mana available. I could play Rude Awakening with Entwine now, but the attack would only deal 21 damage to him, thanks to Kitchen Finks he's on 22 life though. So I continue to produce alot of mana and draw another 10 cards with Stroke of Genius, 8 Mana still available. I hope to find Mind Over Matter, and I do. Plus Candelabra of Tawnos and a Regrowth-type spell. MoM + Wake + Candelabra + more than 25 hand cards with 8 lands on the board makes about 150 mana easily, so I regrowth the Stroke and Stroke him into oblivion.

GGs!

MrGreen 5s Survival vs Nastaboi UBW Battel of Wits/Confinement 2:0

Game 1
I played a lot of creatures until he found Battle Wits. Luckyly I found a land on top of my libraray to cast Explosives for 5 and destroy the Battle. Then my creas killed him.
Game 2
I dont remember that game.

MrGreen 5s Survival vs pyyhttu Urg Control 2:0

Game 1
I played first turn land and Birds. He played a land. I destroyed the land with Vindicate. He played 2 more lands and I put Wonder onto the table. Wasteland Destroyed his Tropical and he had just 2 Isalnds left. Then he gave up.
Game 2
He played the blue Medaillion and got a Hermit Druid. He played Trinket Mage to find Senseis Top which i could counter with Daze. He tried a Time Spiral which was counter by Mana Drain which brought Elspeth and Glen Alendra Archmage to the table next turn. Druid milled Life, Genesis and a lot utility creatures. He conceded

My deck has no Confinement, and I guess Pyyhttu was playing High Tide combo.

I flooded in the second one and he was winning he got Access Violation Error and we decided on replay. I mulled to 6 with LoA, Coalition Relic and lands. On my 5th turn I transmuted and played Timetwister with LoA up, but he Vensered my Library in resoponse and he drew business as I drew nothing but lands.

Olord (RDW) - Vazdru (UGb-Survival)

0:2

1: I won the roll. T1: Tropical + Elves (got burned), T2: He playes Jackal Pup + Figure (got drained) T3: Thirst (discard Tsabo's Web), Mox + Fetchland - he played Blood Moon which isn't that strong against my deck. End of T4 I've played Gifts for: Primal Command / Ravenous Baloth / Kitchen Finks / Mind Twist - I've got Baloth + Finks which won me the game thanks to SoFI :)

2: He was screwed and I've had T2: Tarmogoyf, T3: Trinket Mage (Explosives), T4: Glazing Gladeheart, T5: Simulacrum
Although he was able to get rid of Tarmogoyf (once) the game took too long which was obviously in my favour. I've had Recurring Nightmare (Simulacrum -> Tarmogoyf) + Gifts Ungiven (got FoW + Misdirection) for the win.

Goblin Piledriver(UGB-Landfall)   vs   Tabris(UG)
2:1

After the match I was so happy to win(after the first game shock) that i firgot to save the game log.

Game1:
I started first turn Library of Alexandria. He played Pestermite used his Spellstuter Sprite efficiently. I had Shadowmage Infiltrator and Tarmogoyf. The game became more and more a damage race. Finally he killed me instantly with Venser and Grafted Wargear. This was a shocking suprise, I had first Round LoA and later Infiltrator.

Game2:
I started with Ancestral Vision , Shadowmage Infiltrator. He again, of course, with Pestermite.He started the aussalt with Troll Ascetic supported by Noble Hierach. We both had Wickerbough Elder and Treachery, which stopped my Infiltrator but only for a short time. Then with Hermit Druid, Volraths Stronghold and Shriekmaw(Noble Hierach). So with help from Wickerbough Elder the aussalt from Troll Ascetic was over. He played Back to Basic for preventing my Stronghold. My manabase was shorted by 3 Lands  he with 2. I draw Recurring Nightmare and shoted Back to Basic away freeing Volrath's Stronghold. Tabris played Gifts Ungiven for Regrowth, Eternal Witness, Phyrexian Furnance, Force of Will. I gave him Furnace and the Force. In my turn I used my Stronghold for Shriekmaw(against his Wickerbough Elder) giving him the opportunity to intervent with Furnance. He let it happend waiting for Recurring Nightmare. Finally I played Rampaging Baloths and Wasteland, and it was over.

Game3:
He started with Serendib Efreet and Noble Hierach. I had Kitchen Finks for keeping up in the damage race.He had Sword of Light and Shadow, but my Trygon Predator ended this and so he avoids me from losing quick. I used Spike Weaver so the game was even. With Jace Beleren, Survival o.t.F.  and Sensei's Divining Top i created my position to the position with the upperhand.Tabris tryed by using Scryb ranger instantly to ambush me, at this point I had to play without Trygon Predator .With Glen Elendra Archmage and Noble Hierach I got to the point where I was dominating. Finally Treachery and my creatures killed Tabris.


This were 3 long and hard games.

Irenicus (UGW-Aggro-Control) vs peeler (RGU Control)

2:1

Game1: LoA gets destroyed by Ghost Quarter, but Gaea's Skyfolk and Sea Drake, backed up by counterspells, win pretty   fast.

Game2: I have a slow start and didn't find a counter for a game-winning Wildfire.

Game3: Another slow start because I don't find a green manasource fast enough. But peeler is screwed too and a Trygon Predator, backed up by Venser with Karakas, takes it down.

Hurray, my first HLL-Win!  :D

Nastaboi (UR-Swans) - Vazdru (Black-Sui)

1: I won the roll and started with [ZEN]Power  ;D T1 Guul Draz Vampire, T2 Vampire Lacerator (just drawn) + Factory, T3 Duress (Thirst, Fire/Ice, Blood Moon, some lands - i took Fire/Ice). He just dropped Blood Moon to keep Factory away from his lifepoints. T4 I've played Tangle Wire to smooth the way for my two little vamps. At 5 LP he was able to burn one of my little guys. As i dropped Urami + Beckon Apparation eot it was enough to kill him in time just one turn before he could have wildfired me away.

2: This time I played more controllish and less agro. He had first play with T2 coldsteel heart. I started T2 Bitterblossom. T3 Sinkhole, T4 Bad Moon + Flesh Reaver which got countered, he dropped Swans. I tried Nether Void to keep him away from Wildfire so he searched Pact with Mystical in response which gave me another turn. I played Necro for 5 cards and go down to 10 Lp. As i guessed he played Wildfire for 4 Cards (swans) leaving me with just one land and after an attack of Swans with 6 lp. But Soul Spike (removing two black cards) was exactely the card i was looking for, going back to 10 leaving him with 4 lp. Mutavault + Faerie Tokens were enough to bring him down.

exciting game! Thx

How could you drop Urami when your opponent have Blood Moon?

How could you drop Urami when your opponent have Blood Moon?

I've just meant i dropped (not activated) Urami. In better words: I dropped a Mountain, played eot Beckon Apparition to bring down his last 3 lp (Token + Lacerator)

But you're right - when i've played Urami I've thought about the option to sac it eot although the option never existed indeed ;)

Sturmgott (New Bant AggroControl) vs. derStefan82 (UWBg Control) 2:0

Game 1 I start with Verdant Catacombs, Fetch Forest, Birds of Paradise. My 2nd turn Anurid Brushhopper survives all his removal attempts and goes all the way.

Game I can simply counter everything he plays and kill him with some 2/2 critters.

Mythrandir 5CC VS Helle WUB midrange?!

2:0

Game 1: he starts fast, land + mox diamond + gerrard verdict. But i drew like an evil man and got wasteland, after that i lay some lands + menaces which he disrupted/killed. eventually a FoF revealed me a deed and again i slow him down (taking his mox.. he was still a little mana screw). after that he got back on his feet and played loads of creatures and got me in the red zone (thanks to the help of parallax wave, removing my own critters) but i playd moat, then gifts, then wog, eventually i vindicated his elspeth and he conceded. i had stronghold + karakas + venser + eternal. GG, very intense!

Game 2: he plays serendib efreet i played FTK, but then he mind twisted me for 4. OUCH!! luckily the FTK got all the way through, i guess he didn't drew anything relevant, but i was drawing too many lands too =/.
he made a a mistake which would have probably turned the tables VS me, since i had nothing relevant, but he had LoA functioning.

Great 1st game. thks for playing

Peeler (boros) - Payron (boros)

1 - 2

First game: Hard race from both sides but in the end he won because i couldn t handle his Serra Avanger with Grafted Wargear

Second game: second round Countryside Crusher - 2 burn spells to kill him got countered with Harm's Way - 3rd round Tangel Wire - so he gave up ... i guess next round Elspeth would realy off finish the game

Third game: he did some pressure with Solitary tropper and an exalted creature ... I played Knight of Holy Nimbus and Solitary Priest ... followed by Winter orb + Mox diamond and a crused scroll on the table ... i top decked Undiscovered Paradies and had always 3 mana for scroll to removel all threads and was slowed down by Winter Orb

gg's

Utopiamann (UWG RebelsControl) - Seveneyes (Reanimator) 1:2

First game, he drops an early Luminarch Ascension and counters a lot. I reanimate an Angel of Despair to destroy it, he gets a token in response and removes the Angel with Oblivion Ring. Damnation kills his token and Verdilion Clique and a hardcast Woodfall Primus destroy his Oblivion Ring. The Angel returns to play and kills Garruk. Primus catches a Sword, hardcast Simic Sky Swallower is answered by Force of Will, but the Angel finishes the game.

I get killed by second round rebel, search for bigger rebel, search for mirror entity and attack through the now big fellas.

I have a second round Survial, next round i discard angel of despair and play exhume, which gets counered and suspended by Delay. Three turn later it resolves again, fetching an Empyrial Archangel, who finishes the game.

Thx for games

Helle (UBw Baseruption) vs pyyhttu (Burn)

Game 1 I'm unlucky with the spoils mulligan and have to take another six. He then starts with a Goblin Guide that does about 10 damage to me. He screws me a bit with Molen Rain so that I never really get into the game.

Game 2 he starts to burn me from turn one on. I manage to get Looter il-Kor with Sword of Fire and Ice, Jotun Grunt and Mishra's Factory to beat him down. I'm at three life when he plays Rhystic Lightning but luckily I got two mana left.

Game 3 I go down to 9 really quick before I manage to take his burn with Gerrard's Verdict. Jotun Grund, Pestermite and Vendillion Clique beat him down before he can take my last lifeponts.

I won 2:1 with some of luck in a bad matchup.

Good games!

Mythrandir's 5CC VS Pennywise wG elfs

Game 1: he starts playing loads of mana elfs including roffelos, which got STP. i played eladrami call -> doran, and played doran, which stall the game a little bit. After that a plow under + a next turn creeping mold set me back and he started attacking. Luckily i had a jund charm, and when he played a hermit druid i played it, cleaning the board. he played more elfs and SoFI but i had deed, again table cleaned. In the end a nantuko brought him into the red zone for a FTW demonfire. GG, really close.

Game 2: starts a lot slower (which is sweet for me) he played greaves and searches for gaes cradle. i had waasteland and an impulse showed me LFTl (i had tolearia west in hand). he played a spell for 3 1/1 elf tokens + chord of calling for an elvish champion. luckily i had trygond predator that wiped the greaves and then killed his champion (sudden shock), meanwhile the trygon + maze calmed the game a little bit. i transmuted toleria for EE and played it for zero. he played some more elfs, but by now i had LFTL going with toleria: vesuva -> double maze and afterwards volrath stronghold (had witness + loxodon + shriekmaw in grave) by now i had complete board control, including a pact of negation in hand. GG, he dealt me more than 20 lfts this game and even got me to 2lfts (finks + loxodon + helix handled that).

Thks for playing

2:0

Helle (UWB Fish) vs MrGreen (5c Survival)

Game 1 I start with Land Tax, searching lots of lands during the game. I then play Dark Confidant, which was a mistake, as it does 12 damage to me in 4 turns. His Witness + Elspeth are too much then.

Game 2 I play a turn 2 Vendillion Clique leaving him with Elspeth + Garruk and lands only. I counter all his attempts to get rid of the flyer which kills him.

Game 3 he stays some time at 2 lands + Bird. Gerrard's Verdict followed up by a Mindtwist empty his hand, but I don't have much left either. His Qasali Pridemage and my Serendib are beating for quite some turns. Venser helps me to win the damage race.

I win 2:1 in some rather fast games.

Thanks for playing!

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. Goblin Piledriver (Zoo) 2:1

First game he plays some critters and a lightning helix and finishes me quickly off. I have Akroma in grave but nothing to reanimate her.

Second game he plays mana elves and critters and a sword of fire and ice. I have a merfolk looter, which discard blazing archon. I reanimate it just in time and he doesnt find removal for it.

Third game again he has a mana elve and a boggart ram gang. I play shriekmaw to kill it. A blightning lets me discard wild mongrel and inkwell leviathan. Makeshift mannequin brings the leviathan back, who finishes the game.

Thx for playing.

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. No Stress (Stax) 2:1

First game i do nothing and catch an early mind twist for 4. A wildfire later i have almost no cards in play nor in hand.

Second game i play second turn merfolk looter, who is killed by sword. His doppelganger thoughtcourier may enter the battlefiel instead. Fourth turn i flashback roar of the wurm, just before armageddon hits the game, followed by maze of ith to control the wurm. The courier searches me new lands and i can exhume sphinx of the steel wind. The two 6/6 bring him down.

Third game he has first turn mishras workshop and double talisman. Next turn he play tangle wire, so for some rounds i just draw cards and play lands. He destroys a land with wasteland and tries to copy my dust bowl with vesuva. With the wire gone i can play breath of life targeting woodfall primus and remove the copied dust bowl. His gifts ungiven reveal sword to plowshares, regrowth maze and crucible of worlds. I put to grave the sword and regrowth, thinking that i can handle the maze with my fulminator mage. It is not even necessary as he is down to one life and cant handle the primus and a reanimated quasali pridemage the same time.

Thx for the games

The_Ocean(Reanimator) vs. GoblinPiledriver(UGB)
I win 2:0

Game 1: I played a Thought Courier, discarded a Sundering Titan, played Life/Death bringing it back destroing 3 of his lands, i think it whent all the way.

Game 2: I started with Tarmogoyf, he had finks, i fallowed with Wild Mongrel, played a FoF, he did a 4-1 split, puting Dance of the Dead as the 1 card and some other "ok" cards as the 4 card pile, luckly i had an Eternal Witness in hand geting me back the Dance, i discarded Iona to Monrel, and played the Dance on the Iona (nameing Green, in retrospect i should had named Black), on his turn he had a Demonic tutor for Sower of temp. geting my Iona, he was taped out, on my turn i attacked and played a Gifts Ungiven for Angel of Despair and 3 reanimate spells, i used Life/Death on the Angel, killed the Sower and attacked, un his upkep he had Genesis in grave, and returned Sower back to his hand, played sower and took my Angel of Despair, un my trun i attacked with the team, but i had Mana drain in hand that i had gatten from Fof, and un his turn when he repeated using genesis and played Sower i had the counter.

GGs all the way, that last game really close.

The_Ocean(Oath) vs. Cadaj(GRU Stompy)
I win 2:1

Game 1: I had low life but was able to activate oath, archangel was revealed and on the fallowing turn after some oath activations i gat the game.

Game 2: He had a 2nd turn Btb and that was gg for me

Game 3: I had a 2nd turn Oath and Lftl in grave, and wasteland, that was the game

GGs, g1 was a very intense game he gat me to 4 life with a board full of guys.

randomizer (Rbg Goblins) vs Helle (UWb Fish)

Game 1 I start pretty fast with Isamaru and Azorius Herald before he casts Mindtwist to empty my hand. Next turn:

0:09:59 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r plays Goblin Recruiter from Hand
...
searching
...
0:13:13 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r is looking top 30 cards of its Library...
0:13:22 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r rearranges cards in r4nd0m1z3r's Library
...
I went afk for some min
...
0:20:01 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r rearranges cards in r4nd0m1z3r's Library

10 minutes of searching and rearranging! I wouldn't play this deck online  ;D

Well, in the end I topdecked a Force Spike to counter his Ringleader. He already is low on lifepoints, so I try to keep  preassure high on. Next turn I topdeck again and play Pestermite to tap his only blocker. He then gives up, as he is facing two evasion guys with too little life.

Game 2 he starts with Chrome Mox and Dark Confidant, but I am holding Swords. He then plays Duress, missing his landdrop. I use a Seal of Cleansing to screw him and play Isamaru. He plays Mogg Fanatic and we're beating each other without many action for some turn. He then plays Mogg Flunkies, but I topdeck again and play Paladin en-Vec. The next turn, I draw another really useful spell: Parallax Wave. I remove all his creatures except the Flunkies and bring him to one lifepoint. He then plays a Skirk Prospector and sacrifices all his Goblins to play Living Death. As I remove the last counter from Parallax Wave to save the Paladin en-Vec, he concedes.

I excuse myself for the insane draws I had, as I think my matchup is pretty bad against his deck. Nevertheless the games were fun to play (I hope he enjoyed it, too)!

Helle 2 : randomizer 0

No Stress (Naya Aggro) 2:1 Irenicus (Dream Halls Combo)

G1 He comboed off with Dream Halls into repeated blue Myojin ftw

G2 i kep hnd with krosa Grip, turn befor he goes off he plays venvilion clique removing grip, next main phase i cast gaddock teeg ftw

g3 i get out ral slow, he has no defensive spells either, i manage to gethim to exactly 0 life with a gruesome combination of saprolings, a factory, bonesplitter and magma jet.

good games, really close :)

No Stress (Naya Aggro) 2:0 Pyyhttu (RDW)

G1 I get out fast (turn one Wild Nactatl, doesnt get any faster), he gets out slow, plays blood guy, i play that graft equipment, he clears the board with breath of dariggaaz, what a cool card. I play Troll Ascetic whih takes it home.

G2 Pyyhttu opens with Black Vise into Shrapnel Blast into Browbeat into said Breath, then the game crashes :/ on the tipo server, can u believe that?? anyways, he was busy and gave me the win.

ggs

Sturmgott (New Bant) vs. Nastaboi (5c Stax) 2:1

Game one my creatures quickly overwhelm him. A well-timed Vendillion Clique finishes him off.

Game two I'm stuck on Hallowed Fountain and Mishra's Factory, thus I can, due to his Tabernacle, only keep my Kataki but never play Remand or Mana Drain. He manages to get a Smokestack into play which forces me to sac Kataki, play Quasali Pridemage and in his EOT I can pick my poison: I chose to destroy his Smokestack with two counters on it but hav to leave Rising Waters on the Board. I still do not find land and concede.

Game 3 was the most intense one. My opening hand was LoA, AEther Vial, Birds, Windswept Heath, Forest, Force of Will and Psionic Blast. I play LoA and say go, he plays... Vesuva (!). We keep drawing cards while the number of counters on my Vial slowly grows. When he is at twelve, I put Vendillion Clique into play, take away the Rising Waters I remanded last turn and in my turn I rancor it and beat him to 7. He plays Ajani Vengeant, which I mana drain, then he plays Tezzeret, seeks for 3 loyalty and finds Ensnaring Bridge. He is now tapped out with only Goblin Welder in hand and Magus of the Tabernacle on the table. EOT I vial my Man'o'War into play, his hand goes to two card with the now bounced Magus. Since he is now at four life (thx to repeated usage of an Ancient Tomb and fetchlands) my Psionic Blast does the rest.

Tabris (MonoU) vs Mr. Green (5c Survival)

1st Game: Mr. Green was a bit slow so Ive cold develop a good board with Thran Dynamo, Power Stone and got 2 Extra Turns after that I resolved a Gifts and
Mr. Green got nothing to answer that. A fast and unspectacular game.

2nd Game: Mr. Green cast a Aether Vial and cold drop on turn 2 a noble hierarch and a wall of roots following by a lotus cobra and Tarmogoyf which was answered by my duplicant (got thran dynamo, basalth monolith, power stone and a lot of islands + capsize) but he could resolve his Survival and was able to put me under hard pressure so i couldnt find any answers.

3rd Game: 1st Turn LoA on my side and turn 4 Prendrell Mists, later followed by a disk which cleaned the board. After that we both have nothing but i was able to cast a mindslaver and thats why i could nullify his fact or fiction (which was drawn by miscalculation)

some turns later i was able to get my LoA active (thanks to Tidings) and he said gg with nothing on the board except for some token, (I had sower, Tabernacle, Wall of Reverence).

gg´S

No Stress (Zoo) - Payron (5c survival - firesstalker-style)

First Game: He put some good pressure down with Skyshroud elite - 3/3 goblin that can t attack alone ... I could counter with Rhox Warmonk (which got killed with help of Crosans Might) and Tarmogoyf (path to exil) so I had only looter Il-kor and Birds on the board and could top deck Solitary Confiment which was keeped alive with top, looter and lftl later supported from LoA and Dark confident so the game was over .. he just tryed to topdeck but survial settled the game

second game: He was just to fast Wild Nacalcat 3/3 - Skyshroud Elite - Goblin 3/3 like in game 1 and gaddock teeg ... I was a bit screwed and had second turn survival and top ... so i tryed to safe myself with Loxodon Hierrach to be on 1 life .. my only white mana source was City of Brass

Third game: I got LoA first turn ... he mulled to 6 ... had first turn grim lavamancer + rancor to attack for 3 .. I bounced with Man o war and destroyed his only land with vindicate so he gave up right away ... unlucky game for him sry

1:2

derStefan (Oath) vs Helle (Fish)

Game 1 he has to go down to six cards after spoils mulligan. Tidehollow Sculler takes Mana Drain, so that he's only got Call of the Herd and lands left. Dark Confidant and Elspeth ended the game rather fast.

Game 2 he plays an Oath on Turn 4. I am really lucky: first I destroy it with Seal of Cleansing but he got Regrowth. I then prevent him from using it with Trickbind and Stifle for two turns, drawing cards with Mask of Memorys meanwhile. Afterwards I realize that I can't prevent it any more and play a morphed Exalted Angel, hoping to race him. He then reveals Iona, Shield of Emeria naming blue. He should have named white I guess, even though my hand was FoF, FoW and Sygg at that time. So I topdeck Parallax Wave and counter his Damnation next turn with FoW. He then reveals Progenitus and concedes. If he revealed Ancestor's Chosen instead, he probably would've won. Bad luck  :(

I win 2:0

Thanks for playing!

vazdru (monoB-aggro) vs. marchhare (5cc) 0-2

G1 he drops bitterblossom on the second turn, then plays some creatures and (the really) bad moon (in this case), and threatens to kill me next turn, but i fetch e. explosives with trinket mage, and blow up his whole board (except 2 tokens).
After that he reanimates his graverobber, but after a "topdecked" ancestral visions - and 4 turns later - i kill him after beating down to 3, and tainted pact into lightning helix.

G2 i feel lucky with weathered wayfarer and bird (re-accelerates after losing speed with fetched library), but he drops bloodchief ascension t1 and comboes out with dauthi slayer  :o .
This forces me (i have force but no second blue card the whole game  :P ) to fetch maze, to prevent ascension triggers t2 and play bird, to mindtwist his last 3 cards the following turn ( after he plays bloodghast).
After some turns i manage to stabilize in spite of his ankh of mishra, bloodmoon and cursed scroll, and play elspeth, wich kills him with two 2/2 squires ( he concedes one turn before).

nice and exciting games, thank you  ;)

Firestarter (4c-Survival) - Nastaboi (Stax) 2-0
Sry, no time to write a report.
Both games were a short battle, he never came in Wildfirezones.
Thanks for the games

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. The Ocean (Reanimator) 2:0

First game he counters and lets me discard stuff and puts an Empyrial Archangel into his grave. I use Tainted Pact to find Body Double, which enters the battlefield as an angel. Gifts Ungiven gives him Life, Squee, Wasteland and Academy. He draws a lot of cards, some of them reanimator-spells. On his side of the battlefield are two Sphinx of the Steel Wind, which my Empyrial cannot handle. I have Vindicate and a reanimator for his Angel of Despair, who kills the other Sphinx. The two Angels, that I stole from his grave finish him off.

Second game he start with first turn Library of Alexandria. I have second round Tarmogoyf and third turn Frantic Search, discard Angel of Despair, Necromancy targeting Angel and can destroy his Library. He reanimates Empyrial Archangel, but I can trade the Angels and Zombify Angel of Despair again to destroy another land, after which he concedes.

Thx for games

Sturmgott (MBC) vs. Seveneyes (Reanimator) 2:1

I win game 1 due to my lucky T1 Phyrexian Furnace. A Wasteland and a Dustbowl (which he can handle next turn with his Wasteland) later he is somewhat screwed and Hymn to Tourach followed by Mind Twist 3 next turn take away all his options. Nightmare and Negator kill fast.

Game was extremely short. He went first, played T1 Entomb -> Iona, T2 Exhume and I only had a tapped Swamp + Sensei's Divining Top. Since my only solutions to Iona cost 4 (Nev's Disk) or 3, then 5 (Oblivion Stone) I conceed.

Game 3 I go first and my T1 Duress finds his Entomb. He can keep his Duress, which he then plays. This game went very, very long. I have graveyard control almost all the time (Nezumi Graverobber, then Withered Wretch), so he doesn't manage to do much more than play a Psychatog. Since I kept his yard empty all the time the Atog wasn't very threatening. I kept drawing tons of extra cards, first with LoA, then Deserted Temple joined the pack. In the end I had to allow Reanimation, but he "only" had an Angel of Despair which killed my LoA and then my Phyrexian Totem. with 10 Lands + Urborg in play, I find Diabolic Tutor. It seeks me Cabal Coffers. I use Coffers + Temple and produce 19 mana, then I Corrupt him 11 (he was at 13 before and went to 2), then Needlebite Trap him, and he's at -3 and we're done.

Thx for playing.

Mythrandir 5CC vs Sturmgott 5c heartbeat
2:0

Game 1: I went pride + finks and later goyf. he played some mana accel. I countered a allied strategies for 5 and he countered my FoF. He went for gifts - 4 timewarps in chance of topdecking something. But my creatures dealt enough damage to win this one.

Game 2: Again i played a fast critter: doran and then vindicated his only forest. he played timetwister, refilling both our hands, i lay down trygon predator. and again he wasn't fast enough for my creatures.

Mr Green (5c Survival) 1 vs Peeler (Boros) 2

First game he got to much lifegain (wall of revairance + loxodon heirrach)

Second game again he got he wall and rhox war monk but i got winter orb an paralax wave for the win

Third game again wave made it + he got screwd and i got armageddon

tnx for games

 seveneyes(wbr-aggro/control ???) vs marchhare (5cc) 0-2

G1 the only relevant cards were t4 loxodon hierarch, and t5 elendra archmage; archmage countered mindtwist and 2 planeswalker after recycling, and a doran killed him some rounds later.

G2 an eternal witness killed him (with noble hierarch support)... he was flooded, unfortunately  :-[ .

sorry for the bad luck  ;)

 derStefan (bgu-control/polymorph-combo) vs marchhare (bg-rea) 0-2

G1 i win after some rounds by destroying all 4 lands on his side with sundering titan and some stuff more.

G2 he polymorphs my forbidden orchard token into iona on black, but i keep on donating him more and more tokens (oath), so that an ancestors choosen recovers me from ionas kicks, and an inkwell leviathan motivates him to concede (together with wasteland + lftl --> down to 3/4 lands.

thanks for the games

Nastaboi Wb Angel Stax - r4nd0m1z3r RWD

2 - 1

I won the roll but had to mull to six and had just Port and Basilica as my lands. I got Weathered Wayfarer and a stone by turn three, and traded off his Tattermunge Maniac. He still got Zo-Zu and I got 8 to head as I was forced to tap out for three-mana Sol Ring. Yosei bought me two turns, after which I wrathed Zo-Zu and Angel of Despair took care of potentially threatening Valakut (Port was keeping Genju in check). Desolation Angel finished it up.

2nd game I had Baneslayer and goodies but no acceleration. I had to take 6 from Lava Blister and more from his two 2/1 dudes. Top found him just enough burn to finish me off before I could turn Baneslayer sideways.

I started the 3rd one with Factory which managed to kill Tattermunge Maniac and live. He had Genju and I had Port once again. Genju came in once as I played Worn Powerstone and Jens. Randomizer tried Sulfuric Vortex but I had Kor Sanctifiers, and started attacking for damage. Top kept him into the game, finding e.g. Flames of the Blood Hand to counter my Finks until I finally got to lay down Nether Void. He scrolled and hit me with Magus and then showed me Fireblast in hand. I was at five and he was dead.

GGs really!

Nastaboi Wb Angel Stax - helle Uwb Aggro Control

2 - 1

My 1st turn Luminarch Ascension was met with Force of Will. He was landscrewed though, but managed to get some knight with protection from my deck into play before I started tapping his few lands with Helix. Then I resolved Desolation Angel off Gilded Lotus.

This time Randomizer was stuck in four lands which was more than enough to counter everything I tried. He took two good cards with Esper Charm, too. I beat him down to 4 with Jens and Guardian Idol until he stabilized with some dudes and Sword of Light and Shadow. I drew and cycled DoJ just a turn too late, but it was still close.

Helle was manascrewed once again, and I had Moat, some propagandas and Helix once again. I geddoned when he got Seal of Cleansing, and had Captain of the Watch against his Bitterblossom. I blasted my own Moat with Angel of Despair and there was nothing he could do.

We played many test games afterwards. Finally I could win with something. ;)

Helle (Naya Zoo) - Tabris (CounterBurn)

As I was in a hury after the game, I forgot to take notes so here is my rare memory:

Game 1 I was stuck on two lands, but nevertheless I got much buisness. He stops me with Flametongue Kavu and Control Magic before he resets the board with Firespout. In the end I manage to draw burn to deal the last damage.

Game 2 I start with Vial and try to Screw him with Wasteland next turn. Afterwards he drops Maze of Ith. The game takes long and he draws lots of counterspells thanks to Future Sight + Top before I concede.

Game 3 I manage to get Sword of Fire and Ice through his counters which just wins on its own.

I win 2:1

Good games and thank you for playing!

tabris (monoU-control) vs marchhare (5cc) 1-2



Ive forgotten g1 and g2 (about one week ago).

G3 i counter his T2 grim monolith, and play ohran viper the next turn, his control magic 2 turns later gets countered
by mystic snake, what indicates that he doesnt have daze, force or misdirection, so he gets mindtwist after he passes.

With only one card left even his pendrel mists cant calm down the pressure of the 2 serpents + bloody ajani and he
concedes a bit later .

thanks for the games, and happy christmas for all participants  ;)

Some time passed since we've played our match and I forgot to report, so I really can't remember.

I screwed it up - the game ended 2:0 in Payrons favor. I'm sorry for that, please be so kind and correct it.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Merry Christmas :P btw. this was match no. 100 in the current season.

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. Mythrandir (5ColourControl) 2:0

Game 1: My first turn cycle land gets wasted. I play Psychatog and Looter il Kor and beat him a bit. After Animate Dead targeting Inkwell Leviathan and him taking one attack he clears the board with Damnation. Thanks to Volraths Stronghold the Psychatog reenters the game, survives a Flametong Kavu and after eating all my handcards and my grave, he kills him.

Game 2: I have Wild Mongrel and discard Inkwell Leviathan. Dance of the Dead reanimates it, but gets destroyed by Vindicate. Vigor Mortis gets responded by Gifts Ungiven. Wrath of God clears the board and Phyrexian Furnace begins removing my graveyard. Maelstrom Pulse destroys the Furnace. His Kitchen Finks and Venser face a Woodfall Primus, who entered the game spontanous through Entomb and Makeshift Mannequin. He got Maze for the Fattie, but Intuition gets me Life and Wasteland. Life dredges a Genesis, so I can destroy his Maze and reanimate creatures until he is done.

Thx for the games

Tabris (UG) - Payron (Boros Deck Wins)

First Game: I started with Mox Diamond and Boros Swiftblade and second trun attack for 4 with help of Sigil Paladin, which got bounced from man o war who blocked my Swift blade the next turn. In the end he was stuck on 3 lands and I had to much pressure so a Trinket Mage for Explosives didn t Helped eather.

Second Game: I started with Figure which beat him some Turns for 2 supported with Wasteland ... He could get Ravounous Baloth which was answered with Elspeth and later on Geddon for the win

0:2

Nastaboi Wb Angel Stax - Peeler Boros Aggro

2 - 1

I was forced to mull to 6, got Land Tax but no acceleration, ever. Baneslayer raised me from 4 to 9 but was then held down by Ajani. I had to fetch and bring on another flier to take down Ajani. He had 4 power on table, I had an option to Wrath or Geddon. I gambled on Geddon but he had just enough burn to take me down.

Peeler started aggression with Ankh of Mishra, but this time I had plenty non-land sources along with Winter Orb. I found Day of Judgment from Library and killed three guys. Two angels later he packed it up.

I accelerated into Elspeth which took three cards from Peeler to kill right on. I halted his pressure with Faith's Fetters and kicked Desolation Angel ended it soon.

Mythrandir 5CC vs The_ocean reanimator
2:0

Game 1: i start out fast with pride, doran and a later goyf. he only plays Bop, a 1/1 looter and later recurring nightmare -> for an angel of despair jkilling doran, my exalted goyf killed the angel (he was at 5, so he had to block) and survived and on his next turn didn't draw a solution. GG

Game 2: he plays land, t2 wasteland i had crop rotation (fetching my own wasteland nad killing his land) since my hand was pretty full of lands (including rishadan) and a gifts, i decided to try and screw him over. he played a deed + a forbidden orchard givime 2 tokens which dealt some damagfe before getting killed by a zero deed. He didn't play anything else because of my LFTL+wasteland lock (+2 cycle lands). Doran finished hiim off.

Thanks for playing.

Helle (Fish) 2-1 marchhare (Reanimator)


Game 1 I start with Library and draw an extra card for about 5 turns. With Vendillion Clique I see, that he doesnt have a discard outlet so I bounce and destroy his Waterfront Bouncer and Merfolk Looter. He then resolves a Survival of the Fittest but it's too late as he is on low life already.

Game 2 he starts fast with Hermit Druid. I take his reanimation spell with Thoughtseize but he's got another one and so Angel of Despair enters the battlefield. I try to buy some time with Bitterblossom, but he finds Darkblast and kills my tokens.

Game 3 I Stifle his Fetchland in turn 1 and Wasteland his land on turn 2. He doesn't have any further lands so the game is over without much of a fight.

Thank you for playing!

Sturmgott (Bw Control) vs. Helle (Bant Aggrocontrol) 2:0

In both games he doesn't have enough pressure on the board before my Drainlife kills him, both times with the help of Cabal Coffers. He seemed to be a bit screwed in both games, though.

Tabris (UR/Counterburn)  vs Firestarter (4c Control) 2:0

1st game: ...cant remember anything, bc 2 weeks past since the match was played.

2nd game: he start with mox diamond, fountain, bop and top but nothing else is coming so i screw him with wasteland and chain lightning
after that i counter some spells and he can resolve a gift which brings him lftl and some lands, after that i play timetwister and a realy long game start since we both got loa and a lot of cards, in the end he got a full hand, a 9/9 knight of the reliquary, wonder, lftl, bazaar of baghdad, loa etc. etc ive got only 2 cards in my hand left (2 lands) but i was lucky and draw a sudden shock which get the job done (he was burned by me to 1 life).

-jFk- (WW)  vs   derStefan (Oath/Reanimator)     2:1

in first game he has turn 4 oath and then turn 5 progenitus and i can't kill him fast enough.
in second game i have first turn figure of destinity which he can't really handle and in the third one he starts with muligan for 5 and is mana screwed in his first turns. still he manages to stabalizes a bit but eventually can't stand my horde of wieners.


-jFk- (WW)  vs   Payron (gwub Survival/Reanimator ??)    2:0

i win the die roll and start off with bone splitter. he has divining top. i try to cut him off his mana by wasting his toundra and play a cursed scroll. He has library and draws tons of cards. i have hand of honor and samurai of pale curtain. also i got armageddon but my forth mana won't turn up until its to late to do anything. inbetween he gets deed to clear everything but my flickerwhisp (he has maze). but i have more meat and (one turn before my 4th land) i get winter orb to finally rush him.
in the second game i have a good start again with savannah lions and 1/1 shadow but he has wall of roots and then explosives for one. one turn before it explodes i play griffin guide to swing for 5 and get a 2/2 flyer next turn. he's screwed on three lands+bazaar+wall of roots so i o-ring his wall and tap one land with rishadan port each turn. he doesn't manage to find the needed mana fast enough so its game.

Pennywise (Elves) - TheOcean(5cc?)

First Game:
TheOcean starts, after lots of mass removal and land destruction we played draw-go. Then he layed a Solitari Confinement but I managed to chord the Viridian Zealot and kill him with Elvish Visionary + Nettle Sentinel

Second Game:
I had the 3rd turn kill...

2:0

Thanks for playing

Mythrandir (5cc) 0:2 Olord (RDW)

First game I manage to put him on pressure and kill his Exalted Angel, so he has to cast an Intuition for Kitchen Finks, Loxodon Hierarch and Necromancy to survive. However, my Kavu kills his Loxodon and I somehow burn him out.

Second game I start with 1st-turn Goblin Guide (yeah^^) and he doesn't reveal lands, but since he revealed Garruk and Damnation and my hand is not too good, it wouldn't be easy. Suddenly his Icq updates  and everything chrashes, reconnect impossible.

I have a slow start but lots of Land-destruction, he's got lands and top. He kills my Magus of the Moon, but just then Price of Progress for ten puts in in danger. Pretty awesome draw... He manages to survive a couple of turns thanks to Maze of Ith, but finally an Arc Slogger with the extra mana ends the game.

thx for games!

pyyhttu vs. derstefan82: 2 - 1

We played these two games face to face a week ago in Hanau just prior to the HL tournament there, as an intent to playtest but also agreed to get the MWS league game out of the way.

I don't remember much (Stefan, correct me if I got this wrong), but in the first game I got a good curve and killed him with... some critters.

In the second game he somehow landed Ancestral Chosen (I think via Oath) and I didn't have a chance.

In the third game, Stefan got to tutor for his Oath and managed to play it, but I had some removal for it handy. I think it was Krosan Grip. Then I tapped some Kavus sideways again.

pyyhttu (Big Naya) vs. firestarter: 2-0 (Zurvival)

We played also this in Hanau and decided to turn it into a mws-liga game.

The games were pretty exciting and at least I rank them high. I got to go first, but despite of the dream curve I had (Llanowar Elf, some 3CC critter, Bloodbraid Elf) Patrick got his act together and played Wall of Roots and Rhox War Monk. Both on the same turn. I don't remember clearly how this continued from this, but I continued top-decking all kinds of threats and would have perished if haven't had luck and those perfect draws.

The second game convoluted into some sort of situation where I beat him with lone River Boa dealing 16 or so damage. He managed to race me down as well (don't remember with what) and got me inside a reach of 4. He was lacking one forest in the end to cast Empyrial Archangel (he had really bad luck) and I plunged into victory eventually.

But all in all the games were very even.

pyyhttu (UB-Reanimotor) vs. Nastaboi (Battle of Wits): 2 - 0

Should have taken a look at his card count right at the beginning... was pondering in vain what he was playing.

I won the die roll and played some land. He tried on my third EOT Telling Time, but I had Spell Spike and decided to counter. I had played already demonic tutor for a discard spell and played it for Hellkite Overlord. With Animate Dead and Mana Leak backup attacked with the dragon to victory. Nastaboi had Brainspoil in his hands, but it can't target creatures that are enchanted. Lucky me.

In the second game I got hit by a Mind Twist, X=4. Nastaboi got tapped out with his non-basics and the Twist luckily missed my Back to Basics. I had power to continue playing badly from that point on, and eventually against the odds won with Iona.

derStefan82 (UBGW-Oath) vs Pennywise (Elves) 2-1

1. Game Oath on starting hand with Counterbackup (Mana Drain) brought me Progenitus.
2. Game Mulligan to 5 screwed trampeled down by a few elves without chance.
3. Game Oath on first Draw with transmute tutor backup brought me progenitus could handle oath but not progenitus.

thx for games.

Tabris (MonoU)  vs Olord (RDW)  2:0

1st Game: 1st Turn LoA, some turns later i can find a crumbling sanctuary (which saves me on 1 ) and ive got the whole eninge to work (panoptic mirror, ancetral visions, TimeWarp etc.)

2nd Game: Turn 2 Tabernacle for me, later a Maze of Ith some counter and again a crumbling sanctuary on 2 life.

firestarter-(4cc) vs marchhare-(5cc) 0-2

the games started "suddenly" , i was too distracted to remember g1, ... i started beatdown with t2 bob and t3 trygon predator, we both alternately dealt with the opponents threats, until he was very low and killable in 2 turns. he succeeded in getting maze and a huge knight of the reliquary, but i could accumulate enough mana (with garruk) to play gifts on 3 damage dealing cards and eternal witness so that he conceded after his eot.

g2 i got t1 bird into t2 finkel wich he vindicated. after that i countered some of his spells and removed his genesis + 9 other cards grave with a strong tormods crypt (both games :P ) while setting on some soft pressure with glen elendra and mind censor. he made strong turns with bazaar, volraths stronghold and boneshredder and even madnessed me with circular logic  :o .

the game became continually tightened... upkeep-bazaaring didnt bring him any solutions and he was forced to play from the top with minimal manipulation possibilities, while i had divining top plus polluted delta wich gave immense virtual card advantage and lead to a strong arc lightning (qasali pridemage plus boneshredder), jotun grunt (threatened to disable volraths stronghold), loxodon hierarch (handled by recycled shredder) and the final evasive action (countered his third time played shredder).
at his eot we had no cards in hands and nothing relevant into play apart from 6 power in front of him .

thank you for the good games !  ;)

Tabris (UG-AggroControl) vs VazDru (UGB Loam) 2:0

1st Game: I start with noble hierarch, following by a tyron predator and a scryb ranger. After some beatdown VazDru is able to cast a Damnation.
We both recreating our boards and he start with Lftl, Cyphalid Colosseum etc. while hes doing that he beats me with a sower. Some turns later i force him to witness his damnation and beats him off with archmage, garruk and crafted wargear

2nd Game: He is screwed and i have enough creatures on my board to put him under pressure. Finally ill beat him with troll ascet, sower and archmage with FoW, Mana Drain and Daze backup.

Tabris (UG-AggroControl) vs. NoStress (UWG LandDeck)) 2:0

1st Game: ...mh cant remeber much bc it was about 40 minutes but there was a lot of Lftl action...finally a turn 2 spellstutter sprite finishs him off with Sword of F/I.

2nd Game: Fast beatdown with Garruk, Sower Control magic and stuff. He istn able to finde fast enough some answers.

-jFk- (WW)  VazDru (BlackWeenie)   2:0

I rushed him in two rather short games. He had a few guys himself, even ProWhite in second game but just wasn't fast enough.


Thx anyway.

Firestarter (4c Survival) - no stress (RDW) 2-0
First game was very close, since i pernicious deeded him and had beatdown with finks and loxodon Hierarch.
Second one he had no pressure on board playing vortex, with cobra i had plenty of mana playing gifts, destroying his enchantment, i sworded his hellspark elemental with last mana and played baneslayer from my opening hand. i showed him 2 counters and he gave up.
Thanks for the games

Seveneyes (Reanimator) : Mr Green (5c Survival) 2:1

First game I drew and discarded a lot of cards, but didnt do much. I conceded, when he had Garruk, Tarmogoyf and Glen Elendra Archmage.

Second game a Back to Basics locked me down several rounds. The turn he dropped Glen Elendra again tapped out I could destroy the Enchantment and put the fairy under the library with bant charm. He countered many of my reanimator spells, but was screwed a little due to Wasteland + Dust Bowl. Finally I got Survival online and he conceded facing a reanimated Woodfall Primus.

Third game I had first turn Entomb - Woodfall Primus and second turn Animate Dead. He conceded with Plains and Quasali Pridemage on the board.

thx for the games

derStefan82 (BUWG Oath) vs Olord (Goblins) 2:0

First game he got 2/1 goblin and few burn I had lot counters and 3rd round Intuition to get Oath, Natures Spiral, Regrowth brought me 2 rounds later Oath with drawn Orchard. Got Empyrial Archangel. He tried to beat down the Angel with attack and two burn spells could counter one and Angel won for me.

Second game I mulliganed to 5 he had also a bad start with 3 rounds no drop. I hold hand with 3 lands Moat and Condescend. I played Moat in round three afterwards I could counter relevant Burn-spells and got Library online which brought me int the next X rounds Shred Memory to tutor Oath and afterwards after Gifts which was enough.

Thanks for games.

derStefan82 (UWBG Oath) vs firestarter (survival)

first game mulligan and risky hand with oath tryed to get oath online but of course he could counter as I remember. He started with hermit filled up his grave, handled later by explosive afterwards mindcensor and all good stuff like stronghold glen elendra bazaar etc. so I gave up as I could not see any chance to break through.

second game I got lucky oath online after mindtwist which did not hit my transmuter and can handle with some lifepoints by ancestors chosen and afterwards progenitus and archangel.

third game I had nice hand with garruk, 4 lands, demonic and mox diamond. I tutored oath and played unprotected. Got explosives next turn but I got garruk. (Somewhere between I think I could negate his elspeth) Next turn I got roar the worm and one after another worm and a beast token + attack of first worm. Looked very impressive for me but he got witness on explosive killing all my nice big overrunable tokens. I could kill all his creatures with an infest (bird, witness, and something small) and could kill him with my beast army I created from round to round with garruk.

Funny games for me, thanks for it.

R1:                          --  Tattermunge Maniac
R2: Sea Sprite          -- Grim Lavamancer + Bonesplitter
R3: Wasteland(Stomping Ground) + Cloud of Faeries + Spindrift Drake  --
R4:                           -- Scab-Clan Mauler(gets Daze)
R5: Mask of Memory  --  Ranger of Eos(G.G.,F.o.D.)
R6: Giant Tortoise      --  Goblin Guide + Figure of Destiny
R7: Snap(Ranger)       -- Sarkhan Vol(get Delay)     
R8: Ponder + Pongify(Cloud of Faerys)  -- Sword of Fire and Ice(kills Sea Sprite)
R9:                             --  ...               

Sea Sprite defeats Tattermunge Maniac. After this, it was a game Mask of Memory against Grim Lavamancer. My Ranger of Eos searches Goblin Guide and Figure of Destiny, Goblin Guide died at the first round, Figure suffered(not died) at Sea Sprite. I would rather had searched Wild Nacatal, but at the time I was searching I thought with Plains, Horizon Canopy and City of Brass a Figure is not so painful. Really wrong idea, through the Mana demand of  the Figure. 
The Ranger was getting bounced, Sarkhan Vol got Supend 3(I knowed from G.Guide that he got Delay). At the end I killed him with Sword of Fire and Ice in 2 turns.
In the last round I was on 5 life, because of the attaks from Irenicus and many pain lands(Canopy, City, K.Forest). He had Psionoc Blast and Echoing Truth in hand but 4 Lands.

jfk(strong-ww) vs. marchhare(combo-aggro-rea.) 1-2

G1 he has a  fkng overwhelming fast start, my deck decides to help me him with 2 painlands  :-\.
--> i had 10 life, he a flying 2/1 and 3 other creatures, in resp. to wargear on the flyer i played entomb (pain  :-[ )
for darkblast, dredged it with merfolk looter and killed the pegasus (pain again  >:( ) ... fell down on 8 life, hoped i would distract him, so that he doesnt equip again  ;D, but he did and killed me with 8 dmg ( id reanimate blazing archon next turn  :P)

G1 i play T1 entomb into darkblast in his eot, and kill his figure of destiny during my turn. then i dredge it and have (together with used fetchlands) enough mana to play T3 tombstalker, wich protects me from his 2/2 flyer, next turn i discard some big beater and reanimate it...

G3 becomes the most interesting of all, cause he starts with isamaru and T2 eight and a half tails. my waterfront bouncer gets unmaked  :o . set under heavy pressure by his growing terror squad i play intuition (with 3 rean. spells in hand  ;D ) on hellkite, emp. archangel and blazing archon (--> archon ) eot (i was at 8 life, he had 4 mana for the fox), and kill his fox with necromancy in my turn. he recovers with more beaters, aether vial, crusade (the turn before) and mirror entity.
in my turn i rean. archangel with animate dead, play sylvan scrying for maze (played), and attack for 9 ( down to 6). he has a 1/1 flying blocker with vial and kitchen finks, but cant dissolve the pressure ( mana leak, maze, and archangel, no single topdeck would have helped), he draws o-ring and concedes (leak).

really exciting games, thank you  ;)

The_Ocean($taxx)vs.derStefan82(BUWG Oath)
I win 2:0

Game 1: He plays a 3rd turn call of the herd and i play a 4th turn Wildfire with loam in hand, the conection seem to be haveing issues, so he conceded.

Game 2: After he finish puting the cards he didn't want on top of his library, he forgat to shuffle them away, and i had the wasteland for his 1st turn LoA, so after he was a bit mana screw a resolved an Ajany Venjant, and later after i resolved a Mindslaver that was it.

He told me that not haveing shuffled the cards he didnt want into the deck was a terrible mistake, and i have to agree, anyways it was 2 ggs, and i enjoyed playing vs derStefan82, and i wish him good luck in the rest of th league.

derStefan82 (Oath) - Payron (Boros Deck Wins)

First game: I had a wierd start with way to much lands Mox diamond Land Tax, Price of Progress and Mutavalt. I startet off with the Mutavault and mox for Land tax. He played first round top and I started beating him with my Mutavault which got protection from my mother of runes. after that I top decked another creater Silver knight. So I had some pressure on the board and a Price which was ready to blast for 4 damage. In the end he was on 9 life I attacked with mother, mutavalt and Knight and had Oath laying on the tabel so i needed to wint his turn. He played Corprotaition to get his Maze out for a basicland he took away a 2/2 beater and recived 3 damage and goes on 6 life. Perfect for my Price of Progress because he had now exactly 3 non basics.

Second Game: I couldn t find any lands for my first 7 cards with spoil mulligan and needed to muk 2 more times to find 1 land and 2 beaters for 1 mana. Well in the end I needed way to long to find a Land and he played Tabernacle right before I topdecked a new one. Infest and oath won in the end the game. Raising a overlord hellkite with 3 mana isn t taht easy ;)

Third Game: I had a solid hand and started off with Figure of destiny, which got pathed in teh next turn in reponse on pump. So i layed a 1/1 flyer. 3rd round tutor for Stefan and next round Oath was hard but I could burn my only critter. he was a bit mana scrwed and I waited for an answer and was afraid of counters to lay down the winning surfial vortex. He tapped out for transmute tolary west for Forbidden Orchid. I could lucky draw into Kami of Ancient Law and and killed his oath and Layed down my Vortex. He tryed pressure with garruk + token, but I could lay down Flickerwisph (on the token) + Ravages of War with land tax on the board. He could stall the game imedently with a tabernacle which killed my Flicker wisph and the token he gave me. I could search for lands but was pretty much flooded before so I didn t had any mountains in my deck anymore so land tax just gave me 2 Plains and layed down isamaru. He killed his own garruk to get a token. in the end he tryed to polymorph his token for the win 50/50 chance to lose or to win because I could play a 2/1 flyer. He got Progenitus onto the battlefield and conceded.

1:2 in the end for me

realy good games.. thx a lot for playing was pretty fun with you :)

derStefan82 (4C-Oath) - Vazdru (Nastabois UR-Swans mutation)

1: I won the roll and started with T1 Island + Ancestral Visions, T2 Wasteland + Coldsteel Heart. Meanwhile he fetched for some basics to avoid getting wasted his manabase. Never seen before Progenitus Staff so i've had to think a while if I let it pass. I decided to Remand it. I've played a signet and awaited Staff again. This time he played Explosives to get rid off heart + signet but I've had Into to Roil to bounce my Signet. When Recall resolved I've got FoW, Condescend, land - enough to launch combo so I've had Demonic + Muddle already in my hand. Staff didn't hit the board again. When I've tried Chain he had Evasive Action but FoW was enough (Turn 6 kill, 15 Min).

2: He had to go down to 6 cards and was screwed afterwards. Alhough he wasted my second land. Fortunately I've todecked Wasteland too and took his last land on board. Short after I went into Trinket Mage beatdown, he had LoA online + Needle for my Dust Bowl. Dimir Aqueduct + Simic Growth Chamber let me build up my manabase quickly and Comulsive Research + FoF gave me enough card avantage to lauch Mindslaver-Combo short after.

0:2

We made a friendly game afterwards and this time he got Oath Online fast enough and won the game. Progenitus is that hard to handle  ??? 

Thx for the games!

Tabris (UG-AGGRO Control) vs  Pyyhttu (GW-Enchantress)  2:0


1st Game:  Turn 1 Noble Hierarch, Turn 2 Kitchen Finks, Turn 3 Phantom Centaur and the beating continues, pyyhttu got only top and luminarch accension and a Moat, but right after resolving it, i can destroy the moat and its gg.

2nd Game: I start with LoA (IMBA STRIKES AGAIN) and have a slow start, pyyhttu got wild growth, presence of the enchantress and duelling grounds. Some Rounds later I equip my Werebear with SoFI and Rancor thanks to the Library I ve got enough counter back up and can beat him down. I was really courius to see how the enchantments could go crazy (he wants to resolve the white epic spell).

gg´s.

Pyyhttu (Reaniamtor) - Payron (boros deck wins)

report later

Helle (Fish) vs. -jFk- (WW)

Game 1: He starts with Mother of Runes, I only got Gerrard's Verdict granting me 3 life. I got a Pestermite equipped with Mask of Memory, but he got Figure of Destiny and Goldmeadow Harrier which prevents me from drawing additional cards. I then begin stalling the game with Bitterblossom and Maze of Ith. The game lasts like forever. He cast a spell every now and then which I happen to counter. We both draw and play spells with minor influence and the only damage I take is from Bitterblossom. After about 30 minutes I got both Exalted Angel and Sword of Light and Shadow in play, so he cannot prevent me from getting life with his tapper. I manage to kill him with my army of flyers.

Game 2 is quite the opposite: It's done in less than 5 minutes. He starts with Elite Vanguard, White Knight, Soltari Champion, Mutavault. No chance for me, I'm dead the turn after.

Game 3 I manage to slow him down with Sygg, River Cutthroat equipped with Lightning Greaves so that only his Soltari Priest can attack. On turn 5 I play Baneslayer Angel and attack immediatly. He destroys the Greaves, but I manage to counter his attempts to destroy the angel and the game is decided after the forth attack. He was screwed on three lands though.

I win 2:1

Thank you for the very exciting games!

The_Ocean($taxx)vs.pyyhttu(UBRG Unearth)
I win 2:1

Game 1: I started of by playing gifts for loam, wasteland, demonic, and dust bowl, i had him locked on the lands at 3 but he kept droping lands and guys, that he later unearth ftk

Game 2: I think this was the most intense game i've played in the league, afte a couple of minutes controling i resolve an Oath, and im able to activate it 3 times geting Titan 1st, then i get Empirial angel, and lastly i get an Ancestor's Chosen gaining me 64 lifes, after that atack with angel takeing him to 11, he then untaps and plays Living Death geting rid of my hole board and bringing back nearly halve of his deck, i untap and draw Academy Ruins, there was only 21 cards left in my deck but loam wasnt in my grave, i take an attack from his team, then i activate the ruins on a Crumbling Sanctuary, i lose my deck to his atacks, but i have Ruins with EE in the grave, and he says he has no way of beating it so we go to game3 (when we where shuffleing for g3, he realises he had a Cephalid Coliseum in his hand, and could had used that ftw, lol)

Game 3: He starts first he resolves a Bloodgast 3rd turn, mean time I build my mana base, 4th turn he resolves the 4/2 first strike unearth guy, and i play an Oath, he then attacks me then plays firestorm for 3 killing his team, and duing 3 damege to me, I untap and play Wildfire geting rid of all his lands and i stayed with a Darksteel Ingot and a signet, i had loam in hand so i continued to transmute a Tolaria West, 1st for Maze of Ith, then for Forbiden Orchad, and since i had Oath, it was match soon after that.

Man i hadn't had so much fun playing in a game for a while, the games would go back and forward and was never sure what was gona happend
ggs, and best of luck to pyyhttu

QuoteThe_Ocean($taxx)vs.pyyhttu(UBRG Unearth)

Actually my deck _wants_ to be more like a dredge. From the test gauntlet against suicide black: http://iki.fi/~pyyhttu/temp/DSC_2267.JPG
Yeah, that's turn 5.

Quotehe realises he had a Cephalid Coliseum in his hand, and could had used that ftw, lol

In my virtual hand, do note. I had the real life deck in my hands and went it frantically through looking for outs. Ancient Grudge was exiled, and concluded Burning Inquiry was already in the grave.

Never raised my vision to check my actual mws hand on the screen. But hey! I'm a player who doesn't notice even if opponent is playing Battle of Wits deck!

payron (4c-popular-control ;D) vs marchhare (combo-aggro) 1-2

first game i have a bad and slow draw (although im able to do a bit), and lose after a couple of time.

G2 lasts almost till kingdom comes, i cant remember all details, but after we both lose most of our hand cards, somehow, i wait/tutor/draw for a library, wich leads to further 15 min of less impressive action, after some rounds he loses after a very late daze countered his kederekt leviathan ( i put more and more pressure on the table the turns before)

G3 i mulligan down to 6 (had 4 lands and 3 spells without any impact...), and keep 4 lands (one cycle), LftL and entomb into darkblast for his looter, llanowar the next turns).
he doesnt do much the first turns, i had the option for ravens crime and wasteland too, but he had aether vial, so wastlanding him wouldnt do much, the same is true for ravens crime, cause i wouldnt have any defence if he dropped a random beater, so i darkblast his first targets, then play a hermit druid, wich explodes and mills ca 50 cards.
then i reanimate inkwell leviathan, and sundering titan the next turn (after he played gifts on 3 reanimation spells + random card during his turn), wich destroys his 4 lands, so that he gives up ( with vial on 3 and engineered explosives for the sacrificed hermit druid ).

thanks for the games  ;)

-jFk- (WW) vs  Seveneyes (Reanimator) 2:1


He wins the roll and starts with t1 duress letting  me discard oblivion ring, the only out i have against reanimation enchantments at the moment. All i got left is three flyers which i put out in the next turns. He plays Tarmogoyf on t2 and then.. turn three Frentic search an Necromancy. So now he has Inkwell Leviathan and an 5/6 tarmogoyf. I send goyf on a journey, what i ment to leave for the animated creature. that 5 damage from the goyf may have cost me the game, because i can only race him down to 1 or 2 before the leviathan swings for the win... very close though.

In game 2 i have a hand countaining four plains, cursed scroll, winter orb and serra avenger. I'm not quite sure, what to do: keep the slow hand and try to somehow control him out, spoil almost everything or take a muligan right away. In the end i cycle a plains for tangle wire. Of course he has t1 duress again and he takes away winter orb (wouldn't tangle wire have been better? at least from the future point of view it seems quite obvious but even then... i had no kind of pressure which would've made winter orb any good. anyways...). I do nothing t2 as does jan and then play my tanglewire. he responds to the effect by entombing iona into his grave. I draw ronom unicorn and play serra avenger and mother of runes. Again in his upkeep he plays intuition for three reanimators. i give him the animate dead obv. in my turn i even draw kami of ancient law too and play both just too be sure. all that is enough to kill him in the next two or three turns.

He starts again, first game without duress. i got an insignificant soltarie foot soldier and then he plays ideas unbound to put both akroma AND blazing archon to his almost-battlefield-zone. i can do nothing about them in my 2nd turn (i "only" have stonecloaker) to prevent him from reanimating akroma and kill me 4 turns later. but i can play  jotun grunt to at least put him under some pressure and get rid of one of the fatties. but then the miracle happens. HE HAS NO T3 REANIMATOR. he can handle jotun grunt though but i dont care for that any more because with the cloaker i can handle one creature in his grave each turn. indeed he has breath of live (cc4 reanimator) in his next turn and is really not happy to see my gargoyle flashing in and out the game - crushing his hopes on his way. thats the point where the game was virtually over but he didnt give up but played kitchen finks and wild mongrel. But all his reanimate action costed him lots of cards (he had plenty of land too) so im just in advantage now and play wilt-leaf liege, wilt leaf cavaliers, aven mindcensor and after he double-blocks the cavalier i play figure and armageddon to make my point clear.

It was really fun and exciting as well because all games could well also have ended in the other players favor.

Tabris (UG Aggro Control)  vs  Sturmgott (MonoG Elves) 2:1


1st Game: He is able to get all the key cards on the table and was only facing a venser and a bird, which wasnt enough for Priest of Titania, Cradle, Regal Force, Primalcrux etc. so was finished off by a 21/21 Primalcrux.

2nd Game: I ve got all the counter I need and on the top of that he was manascrewed. So I could develop my board and waiting for his surrendering.

3rd Game: He got Turn "3" 4 creatures on the table including soul warden and some mana elves, I use explosives on "1" killing all his guys except for one 1/2 dude and waste his 3rd land. So he was facing a venser with the +3/+2 equipment and a lot of counterbackup. He was able to play a chord which brings him eladmari but nothing else is coming so a tarmogoyf and sower of temptation doing the rest for me, sitting with FoW and Miscalculation in my hand.

gg´s

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. Peeler (Boros) 2:1

Game 1:
I start and play third turn Intuition. Next turn my spontaneously reanimated Woodfall Primus destroys his Ankh of Mishra and blocks a critter. Fifth turn Iona seals the game.

Game 2:
He starts with Steppe Lynx, which deals me 8 dmg with two attacks, followed by Soltari Trooper. I got Merfolk Looter and only red mana to spend, when he has third turn Magus of the Moon.

Game 3:
He mulls to 6 and misses a landdrop second turn. I have Kitchen Finks and a Wasteland for his second land, he never draws a third.

Thx for the games!

Last offensive he reanimates Blazing Archon(could win in 2 Turns) and I had a Vindicate to end it.

First game: Mythrandir won the role and started. My first turn Figure was handled by a Demonfire for 1 and I layed down Suntail Hawk. He Transmuted the land to find Wasteland for my Plateau. After he layed down a Trinket Mage I played my Blood Moon which ended the game.

Second Game: I started of with Land Tax so Mythrandir didn t played a second land drop I tryed pressure with Mistral Charger and Boros Swiftblade which got supported by Honor of the Pure. He handled the Swiftblade with StP. After a Trinked Mage for Explosies I resolved a Winter Orb which gave me some time. She resolved as he was gone on 1 Life, but a Hierach pumped his life up a bit. A second Explosives through Witness killed my Solitarie Foot Soldiar and my Suntail Hawk. I layed some critters down again and pumped them up with Ajanie. Before my final attack he played Intuition on 3 Life which was responded with Lightning Helix

Nastaboi Wb Angel Stax - Payron UGbw Aggro-control

2 - 1

I had to mull to six and drew nothing threatening while he built up his mana base. He got Deed against my Hokori but no land drops and had to wait several turns to reach four mana. I had Archon of Justice in grave and started abusing Recurring Nightmare, but made a mistake by not removing his Karakas which let him bounce my Hokori EOT. He drew Tormod's on top of that, and locked me down with Karakas and Venser.

Second game he had Vial and Top which he used aggressively but seemed to find nothing useful. I resolved Shriekmaw and Yosei and when he found Spike Weaver I used World Queller to kill my own dragon to tap his side. After that Armageddon was just overkill.

Payron played Goyf with Tropical, Waste and Volrath's Stronghold as his starting lands. I accelerated with signets, and Dust Bowl traded instantly with Tropical and Wasteland. He had no more lands, and obviously I topdecked Volrath's of my own. He packed it up after I chumped his Goyf and put down Smokestack.

peeler (Boros) 2 vs Firestarter 1 (5c Survival)

derStefan82 (WUBG Oath) - Nastaboi (Battle of Wits) 2:0 (shamefull, I would call it a 1:1 but read the report)

We had a 2 hour match with only 2 played games, one full of epic fails and one really crazy endless game.

1. Game I got good hand with Library and double Tutor, he could copy my Library and found Wasteland for mine I think one round after. I could find Orchard and Oath fast but he could manage it by removing his token with black Pact. Then 1. epic fail, he forgot to pay pact in upkeep. As we both were not playing for tops and I enjoyed playing with him we continued with letting him pay for it afterwards. He got big cardadvantage I got Dragon which he killed me and afterwards Progenitus brought me down to 5-10 cards. I played lots of big failures tapped out even if I had Krosan Recla. in Grave wich would have give me some Rounds and attacking him with my Mutavault which he could sacc his two tokens in so that my Oath was not longer active. He played Moat for my progenitus and I died through milling myself.

2. Game I started with Library and Vesuva on hand, he could thoughtseize me down to 5 cards in his turn and found vindicate for library. I hand Loam to get back Library. As I saw that he tutored much I was afraid of combo and hold all time mana for counterbackup but could get enough cardadvantage from my 2 librarys to find counters for all his stuff including managing his battle of wits and finding my needed cards after 40 cards drawn/dredged. I got into Oath / Orchard with some tutor stuff but he could manage it by self destroying tokens and Oblivion Ring on Oath. I could do graveyard tricks with loam on tolaria west transmute to explosives but he repealed Ring so as I had no other Removal I changed my strategy to Man-Lands and hit him with treetop, next round tree top + mishra, next round got another tree top (vesuva). He was on 7 Life I was on < 20 cards in Library. I had 3 Critters in Library which I was possible to hardcast 2. So he dropped and gave the game to me.

Thanks to Nastaboi for this really crazy games.

You forgot some highlight including when you tapped out for Oath and I got to play Rhystic Tutor with 7 mana open. I was well below 200 cards by then. I decided to go first Teachings and then Esper Charm Oath, only to find out you still had one mana open for Mana Tithe humiliation. Would have played no different though, I had to take some risks as you were so far ahead in cards even if I managed to destroy Oath. Later on I forgot to draw card from Portent, which happened to be Cremate. Would have been difference between one or two Treetops. Yay for playing tired.

Sorry for that Nastaboi, were so long games that I was glad to get the game together afterwards.
Additional I have to say, Mana Tithe is great and did best job in both games. I will play Gaeas Blessing
again which I removed before this game for only playing Krosan Rec. But I had 2 times extreme self-milling
problems.

Tabris (UG-AggroControl)2 vs 0 Seveneyes (BW-Discard)


1st Game:  I´ll start with a LoA and got a slow hand but he had just an wretch and some discard spells. After I played Man-o-War and Sower he played damnation.
After that we both were not able to get some pressure on the table. But finally i can get some elephants on the battlefield and beat him down.

2nd Game: I´ll start with bop and Vendillion Clique Turn 2. He got a Nezumi Graverobber, Mindcensor and Gargoyle..something. I summon an Serendib Efreet and have enought power on the table to make some advance. Some turns later i draw a Scryb Ranger and a SoFE and be able to kill all his creatures and beat him to death with Scryb Ranger and a 4/4 Werebear (got 5 cards in graveyard but draw brainstorm together with a fetchland and got threshold to eradicate the 5 lifepoints of him)

-jFk- (WW)  --  Nastaboi (MonoU Heartbeat ;D)     2:0

First game he has some counters and a Propaganda. I finally manage to get a Griffin Guided Pegasus online which he is never able to handle.

In the second one he has T5 Heartbeat + Time Spiral plays two more Spells + Mind's Desire which gives him 4 (!) lands and Compulsive Research. In my turn I play lot's of guys and O-Ring for the Heartbeat. He has to act so he tries to repeal the Ring and to get a solution by drawing tons of cards. But he fails to find a decent card for preventing my horde to stamp him to the ground in my next attack.

Tabris is the first who reached 17 matches.

-jfk- is on third place now / Mythrandir need one win to come back on prize-ranks

R7:                                                  --
R8:  ...

Elspeth defeats Moat, Ajani Vengeant defeats Wrath.


Game2: Stefan is beginning, Stefan takes controlled mulligan on 6
R1: Treetop Village                       --  Grim Lavamancer
R2: Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale  --  Soltari Trooper
R3:                               --
R4: Intuition(3 times Oath)             --  Burning-Tree Shaman
R5: Mutavault + Nature's Spiral + Oath o.D.     --  Colossal Might
R6: Oath into Progenitus + Moment's Peace    --   Granger Guildmage
R7: Oath into Hellkite Overlord  ...

Stefan played too early Tabernacle, later Oath together with 2 Manlands, so I couldn't sacrifice my creatures. With Collosal Might, I brought him down to 5. Afterwards he oathed into Progenitus, while protecting himself with a Fog, with Chain Lightning in my hand i looked into my Defeat as he oathed Hellkite Overlord.


Game3: GoblinPiledriver is beginning, Stefan takes controlled mulligan on 6
R1: Tattermunge Maniac               --
R2: Mishra's Factory + Wild Nacatl   --
R3: Kitchen Finks(get Force Spike)  --  Engineered Explosives(1)
R4: Soltari Trooper + Noble Hierarch  --   Path to Exile(Soltari) + Lim-Dul's Vault(only on 5 cards)
R5:Garruk Wildspeaker                        --   Pithing Needle(Garruk)
R6: Tarmogoyf                                        --  ...

Stefan defeats my first wave, but the second, supported by mishra's factory, came through.

-jFk- (WW)  vs   Mythrandir (5ColorGoodStuff)   2:1

Sorry but i'm wasted like hell and played 3 games today.

Game 1: he played a 1/1 then honor of the pure + aether vial i played trinket mage for EE and cleared the board. he played another critter + crafted wargear, all his creatures were killed and i had goyf + garruk.

Game 2: he started strong and played factory, FoD and soltari champion, i played collective restraint that got disenchanted, i played exalted angel and he PtE it. and it was over

Game 3: he played a 1/1 followed by tangle wire. =/ i did nothing for a couple of turns, eventually i played intuiton but was so mana screw that i couldn't get 3 relevant answers. played FTK but he played parallax wave, and that was it. Lost this one due to color problems, since i had demonic in hand but no B and no double GG for witness (with wog in grave).

-jFk- (WW)  vs    MrGreen (4-color survival)    2:1

First game I have Silver Knight, Pegasus and Soltari Champion.. he has Trygon Predator and plays Wall of Reverence. Lucky enough I can Unmake it in my next turn. He has to block the flying horse (which is 3/2 thx to Champion). He is at 8 life at this point (i.e. after this attack). Next turn he plays kitchen finks, which give him 4 life and two blocks of Silver Knight but I finally find my fourth mana for armageddon (even with flagstones in play). He has a land in his turn but i even draw bonesplitter from the top which is enough for him.

Game two I'm stupid enough to hold a 1-land hand (AND spoil away chrome mox in the hope to find a 2nd land) so fair enough I don't get two mana until he has survival and can untap with several lands, birds, wall of roots, wall of reverence...

In game three he again has a quick start with T1 bird, T2 noble hierarch. I have T2 Leonin Skyhunter and T3 in Response two his fetching Aven Mindcensor (which got to be the by far Most Valuable Player in this match), which basicly destroys his land. Nevertheless he plays Loxodon Hierarch, that normally kills each aggro deck with its lifegain and strong blocking skills. But not this time it didn't. In my turn i attack unblockable for the 4 life he just gained and additionally unload Suntail Hawk and Soltari Priest to the battlefield.
He plays THE ANGâ,¬L in his turn maybe thinking the game is his already but I have Path to Exile sitting in my hand, waiting to get rid of it. (Don't have to tell you, he doesn't find a basic land in his top 4 cards). I attack him down to 9 and pass my turn (I got some options to play on my hand but didn't see a reason to play anything with this strong board position). He does nothing but putting an Island into play and waiting for his defeat. I rush him again for 7 damage so he is down to 2 life. Obviously he draws Intuition and plays it desperately looking for a solution (in the top 4 cards ;D). ... that's it.

Thx for the games! It was fun to play.

Marchhare (Reanimator) - Payron (4c Survival - aggro control :))

1:2

Helle (Fish) 2 - 1 MrGreen (4c Survival)

Game one starts really destructive: Mind Twist makes him discard two lands and my Wasteland takes another. He's got Birds in play, so he is able to cast Trygon Predator, while I only got Sygg, Riverguide. We're both low on handcards, so we just beat each other down to 6 life. He then gets the edge with Wall of Reverence, but I got Elspeth witch seems to turn the game in my favor. Unluckily for me, he got Parallax Wave removing my creatures and dealing the last 2 damage. Really strange game!

Game two I got Weathered Wayfarer and Land Tax giving me lots of lands and Looter il-Kor and Mask of Memories are converting them to spells. Vendilion Clique, Aven Mimeomancer and his 3/1 flying friends finish the game. He doesn't find the right spells to the birds.

I start with Land Tax and Looter il-Kor again, but he accelerates into Angâ,¬l with Mana Drain. He didn't know that Aven Mimeomancer can also target his guys, so I can handle the angel with Sword of Fire and Ice. He then clears the table via Pernicious Deed and starts beating me with Shriekmaw. I manage to turn the tables with Stillmoon Cavalier and Sword of Light and Shadow. In the end the Cavalier and Aven Mimeomancer (I love this guy!) finish him.

Thanks for playing.

The_Ocean(4CC) vs. Sturmgott(5CC)
I win 2:1

Game 1: I get a 2nd turn goyf he droped a 2nd turn lotus cobra that gave him a 3rd turn goyf and trygon predetor, I droped a Qasali Pridemage to attck his Jace with my Goyf, he blocked with his goyf and cobra, bouth goyfs died, on his trun he played ftk targeting my pridemage, that was gg.

Game 2: On the play I cast a 3rd turn intuition for: Loam, Waste land, and Lonely Sandbar, he happend to be stuck on 1 fetch for a wile, but beating me down with a Pridemage until i finally drew a Shriekmaw and some other stuff that gave me the conccesion.

Game 3: I have to mull to 6 on the draw, I play 1st turn Noble Hierarch fallowed by Fyndhorn Elves, I beated him with the elve for a while but he was getting mana floded, he sacked a fetch and i played a Aven Mindcensor that gets countered, on my turn I have the witnes for the Aven, he then played Pernicius Deeds,
I untaped and attacked, on his eot I cycle a land and he plays Vendilion Clique but I have the Fow, he then fallows by blowing the board with his deed, I untaped and played Zur the Enchanter since his hand was empty, and that was game.

alot of fun all 3 games, wish him the best of luck.

Olord has sent me a message he wants to drop - so he should have known that the matches have been annulled  ;)

pyyhttu didn't reached the benchmark of 11 matches (24.01.10; he had 9 that time - have another look at the announcements and/or ranking), so i annulled that matches too - i just didn't want to post another announcement // i've thought the players (at least one  ::)) have a look which matches not marked red

like i've said before - you have 17 parings (like everyone else!) / played 15 now -> open: peeler / Nastaboi

sry  ::)
