T10:Seal of Cleansing(Sword o.Fa.I) + Incinerate(Swans) -- Boggart Ram-Gang
T11: Transcendence             --  Kami of Ancient Law(Transcendece)  ...

I drawed the second and the third land at round3 and 4, so I was a little screwed at the beginning and I thought there would be no victory for me.
As i played Colossal Might, Utopiamann shoot down the creature targeting it. The losing spree even continue with my River Boa got shot down by Ajani Vengeant.
At this point I thought I really lost.
But then came the turning point. Utopiamann played Swans of Bryn Argoll, I played Lightning Bolt on it getting 3 cards, including the third Land and Tarmogyof.
Tarmogoyf started 3/4. Next Round I shot with Chain Lightning Ajani Vengeant down. So my Tarmogoyf was 5/6. Finally Utopiamann shot my new Sword of Fire and Ice down with Seal of Cleansing, so my Tarmogoyf finally becomes 7/8.
Utopiamann drawed 7 cards with 2 burn spells, luckily he didn't found a proper removal for Tarmogoyf.
At the end Utopiamann(down at 2 life, but with 8 cards), he played Transcendcence and thought he was save.
I had also 7 cards so I played Kami of Ancient Law to kill him.

[marchhare]

mr.green (ugw/b-oldschool survival  ) - marchhare (5cc) 0-2

G1 was one week ago, i cant remember many facts, but i killed him in the last moment after he was using his genesis + removal creature a couple of rounds.

The second game i kept loa plus bird and 1 fetchland.
He started beatdown with a turn 2 rhox war monk, but i could afford to go down to under 10, and took over the game by playing survival, and garruk + glen elendra archmage the next two turns.

thanks for the games

[The_Ocean]

The_Ocean(Reanimator) vs. Utopiaman(Boros)
I win 2:0

Game 1: I had entomb for Woodfall Primus, 2nd turn played dande of the dead on it, killing a land, meanwhile he had a Figure of Destiny that was geting biger, i wasn't untaping my primus so i could play some spells until finally i drew a Pernicius deed, that cleared the field and my primus came back with a
-1/-1 counter, after that i reanimated a Hellkite and that was game.

Game 2: I had a second turn Oath with an orchad, and he played land tax, we bouth stayed with 2 lands for a while, i revealed of the oath a psychatog and played a hermit druid of my own, the druid helped pump the psychatog, and with a counter in hand just in case the tog hit for 18.

GG's, and really enjoyed the games.

[GoblinPiledriver]

Goblin Piledriver(Naya-Zoo)   vs  Vazdru(UWG-Oath)
2:1

Game1:
Starting with first round Kird Ape, third Round Wooly Thoctar which got countered, and then Tangle Wire. Vazdru managed to play Idylic Tutor for Oath and killed my Kami of the Ancinet Law. So he won.


Game2:
I played a second Turn Rip-Clan-Crasher, together with Mishra's Factory and Treetop Village I started beating on Vazdru, while he had a Maze of Ith to defend himself. Later I supported this strategy by playing Elspeth for 1/1 soldires. Then at 6 life he played Empyrial Archangel, supported by Coaltion Relic. In my Round I answered with Knight of the Reliquary and Winter Orb.Vazdru starts beating my Elspeth. The Knight defeats Vazdru's Maze of Ith. A round later my creatures killed Empyrial Archangel. Vazdru laid down Solitary Confinement with only Sensei`s Diving Top as support. 2 Rounds before he had to safrice the Confinement I draw Qasali Pridemage. So I won.

The programm crashed directly on starting the third round so I can only report the things I remember.

Game3: Vazdru is beginning
T1: Sensei's Divining Top   --  Akrasan Squire
T2: Faerie Conclave          --  Qasali Pridemage
T3: Crib Swap                  -- Chain Lightning
T4:Idyllic Tutor(Oath)        --  Tarfire
T5: Oath of Druids            --  Oblivion Ring(Oath)
T6: Bloodbraid Elf((Stormfront Pegasus)(Elf get Condescend))  --   Ponder +  Land Tax + Crop Rotation(Faerie Conclave to Maze of Ith)
T7: Garruk Wildspeaker + Tangle Wire  -- Renewed Faith
T8:Skyknight Legionnaire + activating "Overrun" from Garruk   ...

I play fast 2 creatures and remove Oath with Oblivion Ring. Later I can play Garruk and Tangle Wire to prevent him playing Wrath of God. Finally I topdeck a haste creature and with Overrun I even win against Path to Exile.


Good and though games
Greetings Piledriver.

[PuTe]

Vazdru (ugb ehhhm survivalcontrol? sorry) vs PuTe (Reanimator)

First Game: In the first game i was nearly without a chance..Combination of beater and counter kills me.

2nd: Again it was really close..But with Double animate-spells (1 was countered by manaleak) i get his spikeweaver to survive until i can play living death.........with maaaaany creatures in my gy

3rd. Again Living Death rescued me. I was on 3 life and got many strong beaters including ancestors chosen.
I was going to loose against his lotus cobra, life from the loam, wasteland, manadrain....starthand (it was about that)I guess i was lucky there

We were stalling, I stole Spike Weaver, then I played Worm Harvest. I played Shriekmaw and Shadowmage Infiltrator. So I had a clock running. As I couldn't counter anything he played Kikki and Pestermite. I should had paid more attention to this possibilty, but I couldn`t imagine this. So I lost.

Game 1 durrated 15 minutes,
Game 2 durrated 40 minutes,
Game 3 durrated 7 minutes,
Game 4 durrated 9 minutes.

Hard and long games

[Tabris]

Tabrys (UG Aggro.Controll) vs Mythrandir (5cc)

G1: I was really manascrewed and couldnt find any threats. I ve got a Coatl but he had two Maze of Ith and was able to beat me down with his shriekmaw and Glen Alendra, which counterd also my shackles. After 3000 turns I ve got my 5th land but couldnt do anything with

G2: I was able to beat him with an T2 kitchen finks + rancor. His Tarmogyof was 0/1 thanks to my furnace (both games on my starthand) and so he couldnt do anything. Later he could handle my finks but I was able to grow a 9/7 coatl and beat him to death with it.

G3: 1st Turn Library and I was on the draw. Mana Drain, Tarmogyof, Furnace, Back to Basic, Misty Rainforest and Compulsive Research was on my starthand...so after a few turns with much library abuse, I was able to get b2b online + counterbackup and just bash him with my tarmo.

[The_Ocean]

The_Ocean(5C Good stuff) vs. Nastaboi(250)
I win 2:0

Game 1: I have him under some presure with Garruk tokens and a Harmonic Sliver, he had Liliana Vess, and used the -2 geting him Mind Twist, i lost my hand, he then used the ability again geting Battle of Wits, i draw a Lonely Sandbar cycle it and top deck Trygon Predator, he then shows me the Battle of Wits he draws from the planeswalker but its to late, that was one clutch topdeck.

Game 2: I have a Harmonic Sliver destroying a signet, I had a cople of counters and so did he, he had a Dust Bowl killing my Bayou that i tap to play Intuition, geting Witness, Regrowth, and Back to Basics (all his lands where non-basic) he gives me witness since he killed my second Green land, but like a champ i topdeck again, riping a Forest, play witness geting BtB, with two lands open, on his turn he taps all his lands exept one to play Tidings, and i had the counter, on my turn i play the BtB and go all the way with witness and Sliver.

I got really lucky 1st game, but felt they where bouth close games. GGs

[MrGreen]

MrGreen 5c Survival vs Randomizer Rgb GoblinCombo 2:1

Game 1
I got 2 lands and countered his Piledriver with my Mana Drain. Then I was able to cast an Loxodon Hierach but I had no more luck and did not get any more lands and he killed me.
Game 2
He played Survival and Charbelcher. The game looked nearly lost but I found solutions for both. I got back into to game and his Confident did enough damage to made the game mine.
Game 3
Last one was long and exhausting. He tried to start his combo but I made it very hard with a Needle for his Kiki Jiki and a Deed which destroyed most of his Goblins. In the end I won the game.

[Olord]

Cadaj (Zoo) 1:2 Olord (RDW)

Game 1 we trade some creatures and burnspells until he gets a 4/5 goyf and I play bloodmoon+magus of the scroll+Everlasting torment. So I can slowly defeat his goyf, but he manages to burn me out before I can kill him.

Game 2 he is mana-screwed and I kill him after roasting some weenies.

Game 3 I am Manascrewed and he beats me for a while, until I finally get lands, lots of creatures and board control. However, he is on 22 and I am within range of two or three burnspells. Since he has 4 cards in his hand, it's very thrilling, but unluckily the server totally crashes and we cannot reconnect.

Game 4 I've got a good start with the right amount of lands, creatures and burn and after some battling I can overwhelm his defenses.

very nice and close games, sorry for the crash though.

[r4nd0m1z3r]

r4nd0m1z3r (Goblins) 2:0 The_Ocean (5CC)

G1
T1 Mountain, Jeweled Amulet, Charge it -- LOA
T2 Mutavault, Goblin Recruiter. EOT: draw -- Fetchland
T3 Volraths Stronghold, Goblin Ringleader. Sac Fetchland for Bayou, Tainted Pact finding Daze, Force of Will the Ringleader removing Daze -- Land
T4 Aunties Hovel, Boggart Birth Rite on Ringleader, ATT: Recruiter -- Misty Rainforest finds Volcanic Island, Noble Hierarch. EOT: Charge Amulet
T5 Ringleader. Mana Leak ATT: Recruiter -- Kitchen Finks, Vesuva copying my Stronghold, killing both.

At this point, he started attacking for 4 with Finks and I was down to 3 lands, but he was low on cards in hand and I had Goblin Warchief, Frogtosser Banneret, Siege-Gang and Kiki-Jiki waiting on top of my library. In my hand I still had a Mogg War Marshall and a Stingscourger. So, I draw and play Warchief, but it too gets countered/destroyed. He plays Draw-Attack-Go and I resolve the Banneret together with Mogg War Marshall.
Over the next 2 turns, with the help of my Amulet, he cant stop SGC from entering play, and when I go Matron into Prospector into Kiki, its looking really good for me. He plays Arc Lightning on my Kiki, but I have a Mogg Raider in play to counter that. He concedes.

G2
T1 Fetchland -- Swamp, Chrome Mox (Goblin Cadets), Lackey, Senseis Divining Top.
T2 Island -- UPKP: Top ATT: Lackey -> Matron (Kiki), Firelit Thicket, Bob.
T3 no land -- ATT -> Kikicomes into play, Taiga, Mogg Raider. EOT: Tainted Pact finding Bloodstained Mire.
T4 Mire finding Volvanic Island, Arc Lightning (I sac the Raider and the Lackey to make Kiki 4/4). EOT: Kiki copying Matron (Goblin Chieftain) -- UPKP: Top finding Worldly Tutor, revealing it with Bob and playing it to find Goblin Piledriver.

Then I realize I am one mana short for Chieftain and Piledriver, so I activate Kiki on Matron, finding Goblin Warchief ftw.


Anyways, Im starting to like this place. Friendly players and exciting matches. s33 y4

Nastaboi Battle of Wits - Olord RDW

2 - 0

I kept Ghostly Prison, Kitchen Finks and lands mulliganing the rest. I smiled as he opened with Jackal Pup and Genju. Top found me Baneslayer Angel and enough protection to keep it for four swings.

I drew Battle in my opening in the second game, and had enough basics to avoid dying to Price of Progress. Fast games!
