I have a question regarding the trials. How many trials are we allowed to organize ? Because we held one yesterday (which I´ve won ) but the two on tuesday and wednesday didn´t took place because most of the player couldn´t participate.

So my plan would be to set at least two new trials on the comming thursdays and maybe one on a weekend (which would allow people who have to work to participate).

Maggot will confirm the standings from yesterday later.

I'll send u some information/questions concernig the trials soon.

Congratz for winning our first Trial.

Quick report

R1 vs Bant control

first game: I had early exalted angel, which was target by swords - counter ... his Rhox war monk run into condom ... we both counttered some stuff, but I Angel and Celestial Colonnade, path for his Baneslayer, and always a pact of negation in the hand ... he stryed to find a solution with trinket - top - 2 times fetch, but 3 turns are to fast.

second game: I had pretty expensive hand and just 1 counter and a blood moon 4 the early game. He played a vendilion clqiue which took my moon but after that I drew 4 lands which totaly brought me into game with jace, PW venser, wall of omens. Because he got a top I could just brainstorm which was enough card advantage with a Elspeth 2.0 and mass removel + counter

2:0

R2 vs UWB control

well not much to say: both games are pretty boring and long we counter like ALL early cards and find solution for any dangerous threads. But in late game Planswalker from the top and cards like tidings and future sight is pretty hard to fight against with a empty hand

2:0

R3 vs Elves

First game: He had a good starts with mana elves and later on big mana producer. The deck plays like a combo deck with eldrazis so I handeled all dangerous threads. then he played grenn pacct and I could handle his mana creature + tap a land with ajanie which won me game1

Second game: he had hard pressure. Then he played a tutor on regel force but I could handel some mana so he could cast him if he doesnt topdeck a maan scource which he did, but I played some blockers and layed down Elspeth 2,0 to blow a round later the board up! but i was stupid and didn t payed attantion to 3 open mana and Wirewood herald, which got him calleer of the claw. So i just was beeing stupid because I had the mana for jace to bounce the herald and would won because i had 4 hand cards vs 2 on his side + maze on the table

Third game: I could handle some stuff with sower, path and Elspeth 1.0 but on a empty hand he topdeckt the green Green Sun's Zenith with exactly 8 mana for the regel force again and 4 cards for him ... I could still stabilize with else and got here ultimate without sacrefice here. So in the end I won because I had enought removel + else with token and Coat of arms on his side for my token.

2:1

R4 vs Bant aggro:

first game: we both stuck on 3 lands and I could handle his hierach with swords. Later on I had coalition relique which totaly drew me back in the game because he even tryed to slow me down with b2b but I had in the end enought answers from the top.

second game: I had all spells I needed but only 3 mana sources but drew lands perfectly. I had for everything a answer against his amazing pressur after 8 mana on my side and a gifts to handle the board he gave up.

so I won in a total record of 4:0 matches and 7:1 games
