So I didn't come across any solution not involving the command "format c:". So, for the time being I will drop out of the league. Sorry lads, maybe I can fix this in time to participate in the next league.

See you,
Sensenmann

Thanks for the quick response!

I won't do it with virtual box. You are right, that is pervert: Running Linux in a virtual environment and than emulate windows .

I will search for another solution. When I find one, I will come back and post it here. Till then I won't be able to play any MWS-Games, sorry.

Hey pyyhttu,
the case you are describing is totally correct. I had several computer problems (USB-Root-Hub had driver issues which couldn't be handled whether by updating the driver nor deinstalling and re-installing them) so that I re-installed my OEM version of Windows. Do you have any experience which crapware is causing this problem? If you like, I'll send you a  HijackThis-log for further details of my system.

After solving some mayor problems regarding my Windows XP and a new installation of Windows I am unable to open MWS. I get following error code: 0xc0150004. I tested my system with several Programs (hijackthis, ccleaner, chkdisk, testdisk...) deinstalled (including all registry entries) and reinstalled MWS with no success. Finally I typed the error code in google and found no solution I've not tried yet, except formating the whole disc and make a new installation of Windows which I just did .

If any of you have a solution for my problem I would be delighted to hear it. I will search for a solution in the upcoming week, but if nothing helps I will have to drop out of the league for this season, as I'm not willing to format my harddrive and make a clean install of windows for now.

Thanks for any help!

But the Mana Drain will fizzle after Misdirection resolves, will it not?

Mana Drain-> LftL
Misdirection->Mana Drain (on Misdirestion)
Misdirection resolves -> Mana Drain fizzles because it doesn't have a valid target (Misdirecition isn't on the stack) anymore. So there won't be 5 Mana in the next Main phase.

Please correct m if I'm wrong, but that's how I understand Misdirection.

Everyone, have a nice weekend.

Sensenmann (5c-Reanimator) vs. Nastaboi (Mono-U-Combo) 2:1

First Game I'm mana- and colourscrewed. My only action in the whole game is discarding a creature at end of turn and reanimating it in the next turn. On turn 5 Nastaboi goes in combo mode with extraplanar lens imprint snow-covered island. Frantic search, peregrine drake, spellweaver volute, gifts ungiven, snap... and each of it multiple times sthanks to the spellweaver volute. Combo on turn 5, nice one!

Second Game I can play entomb in his first end of turn step and in my second turn dance of the dead on my woodfall primus, taking his island. But I am screwed again and hoe that my primus will do it in three turns. In his seemingly last turn he plays peer through deep for repulse but only has 2 mana left. So I untap my Primus once again and he plays dizzy spell :-). Ok he goes down to 2 and can untap again. After I pay the untapcosts in my next turn he plays repulse. End of turn I discard the primus. Luckily he can't go off on his next turn. I play draw go and want to discard again. But he wants to play cryptic command in my end of turn step. I play necromancy in response onto my primus taking him lands again. After his next draw he types GG. Without that cryptic command I think I would've lost the game...

Third Game he starts with Island and Sensei's divining top I play only Island. Second turn I play demonic tutor, he looks into the top, draws fetches with his misty rainforest and plays his just drewn spell snare. I can daze it and grab entomb with the tutor. Next turn I play entomb in upkeep onto iona and then reanimate stating blue with iona. After he doesn't find his sole fireball (he has extraplanar lens once again) he scoops.

Fast Games, but nonetheless exciting. Thanks Nastaboi.

Sensenmann (BGw-Rock) 2:1 Peeler (UWG-Enchantress)

First Game:
I didn't know what he is playing so I mulliganed my harmonic sliver away to get more lands. Epic fail since he plays enchantress. On the third turn he gets a garruck online and due to mana acceleration and wastes a land. After I hit my third land I play pernicious deed, which he can stop with a seal of cleansing. Meanwhile the Beasttoken hits me retty bad. He plays veduran enchantress and I kill it with shriekmaw. Veduran comes back with a little help by regrowth and he starts drawing cards. Thanks to Oath of Ghouls I am able to block each of his attacks several times until he resolves a Opalescence to apply more pressure. But I can kill some enchantments thanks to shriekmaw recursion. After some time with more of my creatures advancing he resolves humility... . After that the game is lost for me and we go to game 2. But the rules for opalescence and humility are quite interesting to read  .

Second Game:
Another Epic story to be told. First of all I have a better start with saffi eriksdotter beating him twice till propaganda hits the board. After that I manage to kill every enchantress he plays: Veduran, Femeref, Yavimaya. But then turns the board. He plays Garruck again, and can destroy my survival of the fittest. After that he casts Humility and Opalescence so that his enchantments aren't 1/1 but really big like humility a 4/4. I already think, that I have lost, but have some critters to block his enchantments. After I lost all my creatures in my seemingly last battle I topdeck Living Death! To win with humility gone was a piece of cake after that  .

1:1 so far.

Third Game:
The third game was quite fast with me hitting him with my beasts I created with garruck and he only topdecks lands.

So 2:1 in the end. Thanks for the really intense and close games.

Mhm, this time it is quite tricky. I think RG-Beatz made the run followed by firestarters Combodeck. But don't know. Worst deck (but not played so often): My UWb-artifactcreatures ;-).

Sensenmann (MonoU-Wizards) vs. Kavu24 (UGB-Survival) 2:0

First game I got Patron Wizard out on my second turn thanks to chrome mox. My next creature was azami, lady of scrolls. After that and more wizards I had the game under control and kavu wrote gg having 4 lands + Wall of roots and me having 5 Wizards.

Second game mulligan to 6 and have no land but chrome mox again. I topdeck dustbowl, play chrome mox and thought courier. He uses his new wasteland for my dustbowl. I can play sage of the epityr, put two islands on top and activate my thought courier. I counter his nature's lore with force spike and in my next turn I can cast patron wizard again with kavu having only 2 lands. After that I can beat him with my wizards and counter his spells with my other wizards ;-).

So 2:0 for the Wizards. I suppose I would have lost against aggro, but midrange or control is just fine for them.
Nice games, friendly player. Seeya next season.

@nastaboi: good idea, so the more are staying in the tournemant! thumbs up

The reasons have been claimed. So I only vote for option A.
Although I'd like to see less participants dropping out of the league after a couple of games, I don't see a solution to this problem. How to motivate someone to play if they don't want to loose again  .

Sensenmann (BGw-Rock) vs. Stefan82 (5c-Oath) 2:0

First Game he plays tainted pact into Gifts Ungiven but I answer it with Gaddock Teeg and Saffi Eriksdotter. He searches for solutions while I beat him to death with my Creatures.

Second Game I own him with my Oath... of Ghouls. No matter what he does to keep my creatures at bay they alway come back and start the beating again. Finally he surrenders.

Those were fun games with a nice player. Thanks!

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!

Yeah, I did . But I played the deck not only against mythrandir but against several other players, just that it didn't work out  . So my opponnents didn't recognize it as 4c-Nonbasic-hate. I'd say they thought what a lousy 3c-deck... .

So be prepared with all your multicolored decks (Maybe I play MonoR next time )!

Sensenmann (4c-Nonbasic-hate) vs. Mythrandir (obvious) 2:0

First Game I play some manaacceleration. He destroys two of my creatures with spotremoval. Than the landdestructionparty went on with avalanche riders ->vindicate and the allmighty Army Ants which ate all his lands :-). He scoops after playing a Trinket Mage which can go for the dome freely.

Second Game was a bit lame, too. I waited for counterbackup and cast magus of the moon. Squee joined the party and both hacked on mythrandir till the end.

Silly one-sided games. Hope you aren't angry, Mythrandir.
