[HLL]Scoreboard - Season VII

[Sensenmann]

Sensenmann (UWG-Survival) vs. Vazdru (Bg-Midrange) 2:1

First Game Vazdru starts with two swamps and Nantuko Shade. I can answer this with Two lands, Mox Diamond and Oblivion Ring. After this action the game was a little bit onesided because he plays rancid earth on my Plains and I am stuck on 2 manasources with 2 Lands in Grave and Crucible of Worlds in Hand.

Second Game was a really long one. He attacked me with Bane of the Living which got into the battlefield on his thrid turn via Dark Ritual. On my fourth turn I can stall the ground with my academy rector. And that's gonna be it for a long game. I stall the ground while he gets Bitterblossom online. To aply more pressure he casts Dark Confident on 17 life and draws a shitload of cards the whole game. I can hold the base with cards like kitchen finks, loxodon hierarch and faith fetters, finally getting Library of Alexandria online. We fought about his dark confident with shackles which got putrefied. He killed my Battlegrace Angel with Bone shredder. It was a really intense game till he played shriekmaw which got countered by my pact of negation. Then the game crashed, because I drew an arrow on shriekmaw while Vazdru put it in the graveyard simultaniously... I stood at 7 life and he at 4 with confident and bitterblossom in play. He showed the next card, which he would have drawn: Pox. So 4 damage for him in the upkeep, otherwise he would have stomped me over.->Very fair to show the next card and go to game three!

In the third game he starts with swamp and I with island suspend ancenstral vision. Than he got me with hymn to tourach which got the only other playable cards in my hand: Counterspell and noble hierarch. the next spell I can cast is on turn 4 a hermit druid, but he has icequake followed by smallpox. So I'm stuck on 2 lands again. But then the vision presented me a plains and kitchen finks which entered the Battlefield ASAP. His answer to that is necropotence. So he starts drawing cards en masse. Lucky as I am I find a land for my mox diamond to cast Garruk which built a beast. He casts withered wretch, duress on my Back to Basics and cabal therapy on my spike weaver. So I have no handcards but garruk in play. Next turn I can cast Battlegrace Angel of the two extra mana thanks to garruk and attack with kitchen finks which got smothered. Meanwhile Vazdru cast Hypnotic Specter to block my Angel,Mox Diamond plus land and Nezumi Graverobber. Then he draws again of the necro going down to 6 life. I attack with the angel, which got blocked and made another beast-token. He only plays putrid leech and draws another three cards. Luckily they were only lands and no removal for the angel.

Thanks for the epic, fair and thrilling games!

peeler (RGu Beatz) 2 vs 0 coldcrow (Bant)

First game I could beat him down straight with Burning Tree-Shamane turn 2 (making his Top and waterfront bouncer littler waeker) and FTK and burn.

Second game his was in better position having Ninja an venser (with karakas) but i could come back in game with SoFI, and 2 burns for the rest

[Sturmgott]

Sturmgott (White Stax with a Twist - W-S.W.A.T) - Sensenmann (WWg Aggro) 2:0

Game 1: He puts some pressure on the board in the form of Silver Knight and Wiltleaf Cavaliers. I have the LoA start and slow him down with Ghostly Prison. He keeps tapping out and attacking. I go to 17, 12, 7. Then I StP his Cavalier, his next attack brings me to 5. I finally stop his attacks by playing Magus of the Tabernacle, Moat, then Elspeth, attack with Magus for 5, then Kitchen Finks. At some point he manages to remove the Moat with his Oblivion Ring and attack me so I go to 4. In my turn I think I'll now seal his fate and play armageddon, going to 3 life in the process due to my Canopy Horizon. I play Armageddon and due to my Ghostly Prison and my Magus I feel totally safe now. In his upkeep he pays for his Tithe with his mana critter, then sacs all creatures. He finds two plains and continues to draw a card in his draw step. He says "you won't believe this" and plays....


BLACK VISE!!

I have exactly seven cards in hand, 5 mana on the board, and he is at 7 life. In my upkeep I let Tabernacle ability go on the stack, Black Vise on the stack, cycle Eternal Dragon but couldn't seem to find any land with it and take 2 damage from the Vise, going to 1. I pay my critters' upkeep and draw a card, pump Kitchen Finks with my Elspeth, attack with 5/4 Flying and 2/6 walking, killing Sensenmann.

Game two he has a much quicker start with Figure of Destiny, but he doesn't pump in turn two, but prefers to play Knight of the Holy Nimbus. In his 3rd turn he plays another creature (dropping no third land), Ronom Unicorn. I played lands so far only but on my third turn played Worn Powerstone. He has the painful answer in the form of Uktabi Orang-Utan. I play my fourth land and WoG clears the Board. His next play is Dauntless Escort, which I PtE. He then plays a face-down creature, I play Scepter of Dominance, tapping his face-down man, which becomes accompanied by Savannah Lions and another creature. Time to find my 7th land (rather: play my Windswept Heath the fifth time thanks to Crucible of Worlds) and play Martial Coup for 5. He plays Wiltleaf Liege and Sword of Light and Shadow. At 7 life, I consider my Kor Haven not safe enough and refuse to play a fetch land from my yard this turn, instead I play Karakas from my hand. I attack with all Soldiers (they couldn't block the liege with his sword anyway). One dies to blocking. In his turn he decides to play a 2/1 shadow creature, but fails to equip it with the sword. I cycle my Decree of Justice eot for another 5 soldiers. I attack with 9 soldiers, one becomes blocked, he goes to 7, and finds no solution to win, also doesn't have enough blockers for my soldiers next turn.

2:0

Nastaboi UR Swans vs. Predi Stax

2 - 0

Really lopsided games. I had an active Library on the draw and tutored and played G. E. Archmage before he could do anything relevant. Skybreaker finished him up while in total control. I mulliganed six cards into a risky one in the second game: Steam Vents, three signets, Ponder, two draw spells. He had no Wasteland for my Vents nor Gruul Turf, and I managed to play signets and wreck his mana with Wasteland and Wildfire. Then I went crazy with Future Sight while keeping him in check.

Sorry for the bad draws 

[Sturmgott]

Sturmgott (Evil MBC) vs. SirGalahad (Elves!) 2:1

Game 1: He has a fast start, but I can gain card advantage twice. Turn 3 Infest, Turn 4 Mutilate, then Diabolic Edict. Game.

Game 2: I have a huge start with Innocent Blood, Diabolic Edict and the likes. When I have a 5/5 Korlash, he plays Deranged Hermit, I'm at 18. I attack, he takes 5, and I play Diabolic Tutor for Night of Soul's Betrayal. In his turn he doesn't pay the Hermit's Echo and attacks with 4 squirrels, then hardcasts Reveillark. I take 4. Next turn since I played another Swamp, Korlash swings for another 5. I play Night of Soul's Betrayal, killing his tokens. In his turn he plays Elvish Archdruid and Quirion Ranger, which I don't take seriously enough. So I miss the opportunity to win the game quite safely by playing Damnation and removing his yard in response to Reveillark's trigger with shred Memory. Instead I play Graveborn Muse and say go. His Ravages of War shows me an easy way for me to lose the game.

Game 3: After three tries we finally manage to play a game with no disconnects. This game was the closest of them all. In the end I was at 2 life, in play 8 lands, Phyrexian Arena, Ivory Tower and Visara. He has Aether Vial with 3 counters, an empty hand and apart from his 6 lands he has a Staff of Domination, a Wiltleaf Liege and an Elvish Champion. He taps my Visara in his combat phase, I use her abilty to destroy his Liege, he attacks with Champion. I play Memory Plunder on his Crop Rotation, Sac a Swamp and find Maze of Ith, which saves me from the Champion. In my turn I stack Ivory Tower, then Arena, so I gain one life, going to 5 cards. Draw Step, 6 cards. I play Kokusho. He tries to find answers or solutions by drawing extra cards with the staff (which is expensive), while Visara kills his last threat. He draws a last card with the staff, which doesn't help, so he resigns.

Great last game!! And a very fair and nice guy to play against. Thumbs up!

[Vazdru]

Peeler (RGu) - Vazdru (Captain America reloaded)

1: Kept 2 lands and Gifts Ungiven. I've started game T3 with Jace letting both of us draw a card. T4 Wall of Reverence displayed a nice shield for my planeswalker. Sakura-Tribe Elder + Bloodbraid Elf (-> Incinerate) were his first plays. Which took Jace down to 1 counter again. Volcanic Hammer took him down finally. Now it was the time for Gifts ->
Pestermite, Kiki-Jiki, Reveillark, Karmic Guide -> got Karmic Guide + Kiki-Jiki
With Ruination he was able to keep me away from my 3 Red Mana but he had no gy control so i played Karmic on Reveillark. After morphed Exalted Angel has been killed by his Flametongue Kavu I put Chandra behind Wall of Reverence and Reveillark and Chandra took care of that Kavu. Finally I've had Mirror Entity, Elspeth and Time Warp to kill him with beating of an Flying Soldier + Reveillark.


2: He started T1 Birds. Me Chrome Mox (Orim's Chant), Mountain + Lightning Helix at Birds. T2 he played Kird Ape + Mana Elf. I've had Explosives for 1 and sac. How he ran out of gas and I've had T3 Elspeth and T5 Chandra which made the whole way.

0:2

thx for ggs

[firestarter]

Firestarter (Combo) vs. Kavu 24 2-1 4c-nonblue

First game i started with lotusbloom and went in combo t5 with giftsbackup at 3 life, but i did not need gifts.
Second game i hold a risky hand with birds and sensei, he wasted and i gave up
third game He had no pressure on board, but i had a bit colorproblems, plaiying tainted pact for 30 cards. I resolved aluren having infinite life, but no killoption. end of his turn i was building 8 creatures with each 9000 +1/+1-counters, he could chump 1 man, but got round about 48000 damage ;-)

nice first and third game. mana screw sucks

[Kavu24]

Kavu24 (4c Blood) vs Vazdru (Captain America)

Kavu win 2:1

The first game I can kill him with my aggro mode with turn two Steward of Valeron (meet fire from Fire/Ice), T3 Anurid Brushhopper, T4 Doran. Vazdru have Glen Elandra Archmage und Trinket Mage (Engineered Explosives) for block. With EE he destroy my Doran and I safe my Brushhopper. After this my Phantom Centaur make the rest.

The second game win Vazdru with Reveilark combo (Karmic Guide, Body Double and Venser). But there was one critical point. Vazdru play his Reiveilark with 4 lands and one Talisman then i play EoT Swords to Plowsher to remove the Lark but he has a Pact of Negation. If i have one Land or Artefakt destroyer Vazdru have lost the game.

Third game Vazdru was flooded an i have Wolly Thocter + Bemoth Sledge + Elspeth.


Thx for the game..

See ya

Nastaboi UGW Lark vs. Pyyhttu Loam.dec

2 - 0

Pyyhttu had only lands and no business 1st game. He Gambled for an early Loam in the 2nd one, but could not Crime efficiently as he had forgot to include either Badlands or Ovg.Tomb to go along his fetched Bayou. I had a Loam of my own, and got Survival with Genesis on grave at some point. When he cycled Remote Isle to get Loam I fetched Stonecloaker in response, and won short thereafter.

[firestarter]

Firestarter (5c-Basic-Survival - Sensenmann (5c Stax) 2-1

First game he had smokestack and winterorb, he had to clear the hole board because of low life and my magus. I regrowthed fire and shot him out of life.
Second game i had a good hand with predator, hermid druid and library, but he had plenty of mana, crumbling sanctuary and oath, my sliver took sanctuary, predator killing oath, but after wildfire Elzpeth smiled on Sensemanns board on my empty board.
Third Game he raped the board against my pernicious deed, but I drew luckily 5 manasources from the top and he does not, don`t know why. I think it`s because he is a friend of mine. 

Thanks dear Ansgar.

Nastaboi UGW Lark vs. Mythrandir

2 - 0

I got Quasali Pridemage in play, but then stopped drawing lands while Mythrandir wreacked havoc with Port, Wasteland and Intuitioned Loam. He made a mistake playing Garruk into my Mana Leak though, and that allowed me to Gifts a Loam of my own. He went down to three from Pridemage before getting rid of it, and beat me down with one of his own, until I resolved Aven Mindcensor on his end step with a backup to finish him off.

We both had Loam second game, but I Crypted the one of his right away. He tried to Furnace mine, but forgot that I had two cycling lands in hand. Then I topdecked Waste and his Maze hold my Trygon Predator no longer. I got to attack twice with SoFI on it until he found Krosan Grip, and his final attempt to kill the attacker was met by my triple counter backup.

Both games were pretty close, and decided by small play errors.

derStefan82 (3-Color Oath) vs TeKo (Elves!) 2:0

1. Game he put in good pressure with Mirror Entity + small creature + Orchard Tokens with lots of mana including Geas Cradle. I got 2 Ancestors Chosen giving me about 50 life in the complete game. Very long and hard battle won by a hardcast Progenitus luckily. Before the hardcast I realized that I forgot to put in a white manasource during my working on deck last week (so only 3color this day).

2. Game he beat me down to 2 life. But I could find a Bearscape with Demonic Tutor. With > 4 mana and 2 green manasources + 16 cards in grave I beated him down with many bears. In this game I was very lucky and found every removal and counter I needed. Sorry TeKo.

Thanks for those nice games. I think we battled about 2 hours.

[derStefan82]

derStefan82 (4C-Oath) vs Coldcrow (GUW-?) 2:1

1. Game won with Life from the Loam + Wasteland bring him to 2 lands. Before he had some beatdown with Tarmogoyf I had to kill with Damnation. Then Oath of Druids and 1 round later Intuition on Orchard and Co. He gave up with 2 lands on this point.

2. He won with starting Savannah Lion, I played explosives on 1 cause of missing removal and option 4 rounds later with Gifts + Counter. In my next turn he took a Quasali Pridemage with Worldly Tutor EOT, I hoped for no 3rd Mana but got so I couldnt use my softcounter. He beat me down wit Pridemage + Creature I think so.

3. I had Demonic Tutor in the opening hand and got Oath in second turn. Afterward I got Factory and beat him few rounds. He played Tygoon Predator and I could Oath a Hellkite Overloard. Next week he bounced him with ninjutso by a Ninja. I oathed Progenitus and won.

Thanks for gaming.
