The pomised Report:

Round1:  Dubbernel,Robo  UWB-Control
1.Game: Not all my creatures are being destroyed and I won with the rest.
2.Game: My offensive stucked, I lost my Dark Confidant which should had gathered me enough cards. So I could only attack with Skyshroud Elite while Robbo played Silent Arbiter and Maze of Ith. After stalling long time he with his combo me with Mother of Runes and flying creatures. At the end he had Future Sight 2 Wraths(I had Sarkhan Vol) and a little army.
3.Game: I had a quick start with Biiterblossom and Bloodbraid Elf. But the time was over and Robbo had Wrath of God.
0-0-1

Round2: Portleroy, Jan   Bant-Eldrazi-Ramp
1.Game: I had Sedraxis Specter and I searched with Eldamri's call Rafiq of the Many.
2.Game: With Bitterblossom Trygon Predator and Aven Mindcensor I defeated Martial Coup.
1-0-1

Game3: Nowak, Jonathan  Mono-U-Controll
1.Game: Jonathan started strong with Vedalken Shackles and Mze of Ith. With my Aether Vial and Pestermite,Man-O-War, Wooly Thoctar I was possible to play this combiantion out. Finally I droped Ajani Vengeant to calm his Maze down.
He stealed Wooly Thoctar and attaked him, my flashed Shriekmaw saved Ajani and the following Sword of Fire and Ice kiled Jonathan while he was tapped out.
2.Game: I kept Bloodbraid Elf Blightning and 5 Lands(after spoiling, before spoiling I kept B.Elf and 2 Lands). Joanathan countered everything except the Elf and I finally won with use of Blighning and Magma Jet.
2-0-1

Game4: Thomas, Alexander  UG-aggrocontroll
1.Game: I had Shriekmaw, Flametongue Kavu and Pestermite to assault his creatures and it was suucesfull.
2.Game: It seems to be a probelm if you have Tangle Wire in play and your Opponent has creatures  in play. Maybe Tangle Wire isn't winning on it's own.
3.Game: Alexander started strong with Library of Alexandria,Island and Noble Hierach. But then something strange happened. He didn't had a 3.rd Land for his third Turn. So I gave his Noble Hierach a Swords to Plowshares to keep him out of a battle. After a few Turns Alexander dropped a Land agter another. Before he was able to stabilzes him, I could finally play a Chain Lightning to end it.  
3-0-1

[Tabris]

Nice. I am curious about the Scapeshift-deck.

[so_not]

I'm curious about how bad can a RDW be if it doesn't totally dominate a meta like this? Last GP had also a meta that should have been torn apart by monoR. It really isn't that hard to pack your deck full of non-basic hate and recurring burn stuff like black vise, ankh of mishra and sulfuric vortex and let those 5c decks roll into oblivion.

[Kristian]

We demand the RDW-list!

[GoblinPiledriver]

Ok, done

If you need the RDW Decklist then contact Ronald Lehmann or build your own version.

Here was my last version of the RDW theme:

I am the one who played the Scapeshift deck. Here's the list I played. Obviously the list has to change post bannings.
If I had to play the deck now, i'd swap some cards. However I find the following list provides a good base.
