Report of round 1:

This was the first time I ever played in a Highlander league. Looking up the pairings on this forum I noticed I had to play my cockatrice-buddy R4nd0m. Ugh :S
While being friends outside the arena, I know theres no holding back during the match. The gloves come off!! (:<

Me(playing junk aggro) versus R4nd0m(playing Ub tide) 2-0

I won the roll and keep a quite exciting hand: 2x fetch, kitchen finks, abrupt decay, loxodon smiter, bitterblossom, putrid leech.
I start with a land, and R goes with a snow island, and I directly put him on his high tide deck.
Turn 2 Putrid Leech comes through, attack his manarocks a little, while I get stuck on 2 mana and all my other spells get countered. Unlucky for him, its quite the opposite and he keeps drawing lands. A Smiter comes through and while the clock is ticking and his gastank gets empty, Putrid Leech finishes the deal while he fails to go off.

2nd game (mulling into: thoughtseize, 3 lands, shriekmaw, batterskull and putrid leech)Seeing hand disruption + pressure on turn 2 make me quite statisfied about the hand.

He choses to play and starts with snow island+jeweled amulet. My turn 1 thoughtseize sees a hand full of manasources + dizzy spell(which will often go for high tide) + future sight. Figured that taking the future sight would cripple his hand. Turn 2 he goes ramping while I played my freshly drawn strangleroot geist to apply some pressure. While he keeps ramping, I try to give him the least time possible. He slows me down a little with into the roil + snapcaster mage and does some fancy ca tricks with top+bounce. Too bad his deck runs dry again and sees mostly lands from the top. The green ugly army chokes the blue mage out meaning:

I advance to the second round. Boo-yah!!!
I'd like to give my props to R@nd0m for being the cool opponent he is + putting our games on a link:

result counts under the proposition everyone pays fee in time

at the moment there are just 3 names on the list the remaining three get one week time to balance the fee
if anyone doesn't there will be new pairings obviously because i won't encash the fees forcibly

[Pacifist]

oh dammit

thats just my luck

oh well
