GoblinPiledriver (4C-Blood) vs Payron (Izzet)
3:1
Game 1:
We both had a quick start me with a T1 Llanowar Elves T2 Kitchen Finks, and Payron with a T2 Spellskite T3 Dack Fayden, but I had Dromoka's Command for the double kill. Payron censored my hand with a Vendilion Clique while I had Karakas to clear the way for my Kitchen Finks. I drew another green Elf and Payron found the Arc Trail for for his double kill. He played Opt twice with Snapcaster Mage and had T5 Mystic Confluence for Card Draw bounce Snapcaster and Kitchen Finks, I responded by killing Snappy. Next my Kitchen Finks was countered but my Doran t.S.T came through. He had only 8 life, but he played Blood Moon, so I was out of the game with Doran as my only hope. The next turns he drew only once a Spellskite and I won.
Game 2:
Payron's Izzet was extremly aggressive with Young Pyromancer, Thing in the Ice and Goblin Rabblemaster till T4. Of course he had the spells for Titi and the Pyro. With Courser of Kruphix I stopped the Rabblemaster and with Arc Trail I killed the Pyro. As the Thing had only one Ice counter I found the Maelstrom Pulse. But he still had 2 1/1 tokens. I topdecked Lingering Souls, so that his flashed Sulfur Elemental can ridicule me. I killed this Elemental to slowly die against the tokens. I still had a few lifepoints but against Back to Basics the game was over.
Game 3:
This game began slow for both of us. He counters so I didn't had pressure, but again my Kitchen Finks came through. As I had Thalia, Heretic Cathar and a tapped Stirring Wildwood he played Thing in the Ice and Grim Lavamancer. Both can't block, he had 11 lifes and I fresh drew a Lightning Bolt. I played Nissa, Voice of Zendikar to produced two +1/1 counters which makes 8 damage(Thalia+Finks). The final spell Lightning Bolt was countered by Mental Misstep. Both 4/3 creatures were out of range for his Grim Lavamancer, he still shot one creature with Flame Slash and Nissa with the Lavamancer. But with the Stirring Wildwood I won on the next attack.
Game 4:
Turn 2 I topdecked the second black mana for Hymn to Tourach hiting Jace, Vryn's Prodigy and a land. I had Karakas in my hand so this wasn't lucky. I was flooded and so I played Courser of Kruphix to not drew additional lands, which didn't worked the turn I played the Courser. We traded a few spells, I played Tainted Pact to not drew another land but for finding an Arc Trail against his Goblin Rabblemaster and a his Goblin token. As I played Tasigur t.G.F. he had a Ruination. Since I was flooded I still had lands. With 5 lands on the table and the Thing on 2 Ice counters he played Fact or Fiction, to find a land a cheap spell to activate the 7/8 bouncing Horror. He didn't had that luck. But I found a removal for the Thing. The next turn he chump blocked the Tasigur with a Vendilion Clique and shot the Courser with a Flame Slash. As he still had 3 cards on hand he was out of answers for the 4/5, and the game was over.
Random Thoughts:
Close games, this time 3:1 last time 1:2, which makes 4:3 combined.
4 games with 2 planeswalker total, but 2 Kitchen Finks, 2 Courser of Kruphix, 2 Goblin Rabblemaster, 2 Thing in the Ice.
I slowly doubt the efficiency of Courser of Kruphix and Thing in the Ice, all creatures which need time are problematic.
