Report follows as video
derStefan82 (Sultai Combo-Control) - Larry (Esper Control) 2:0
kept a hand with teachings, demonic tutor, watery grave, bayou, snow-covered swamp, creeping tar pit and spell snare against an unknown opponent
DT on starthand allows turn 3 oath against aggro decks which is normally enough
- Larry: Island -> Ancestral Vision
- Me: Underground Sea
- Larry: Tundra (he draws 2 instead of 1 but we agree to undo second draw)
- Me: Draw Raven's Crime, Snow Swamp -> and deciding for DT Loam as it seems like UW Control or some grindy control matchup and Crime + Loam should be good there
- Larry: Isolated Chapel
- Me: Draw Condescend, Bayou -> Ravens Crime twice discarding tar pit and leaving mana open for Spell Snare
- Larry: missing land drop (discarded Plains into Crime)
- Me: Draw Glacial Chasm, Watery Grave utapped
- Larry: Upkeep in response to Ancestral Vision I cast Teachings for Force pitching Spell Snare, he plays Misty Rainforest
- Me: Double Raven's Crime + Loam, he responds with Fact of Fiction, he gets Mana Leak, Snapcaster and discards Double Land and Detention Sphere
- Larry: Thoughtseize my Condescend
- Me: Creeping Tarpit, Double Raven's Crime, leaving him with just Snapcaster in hand and me on 5 Lands, Playing Loam gets countered by Snapped Mana Leak
- Larry: Attack with Snapcaster, Dig Through Time into Tec Edge, Hymn, Hymn discarding my 2 Lands in Hand
- Me: Draw Counterspell
- Larry: Ponder, Wall of Omens, I respond with flashback Teachings for Intuition, he vindicates Tar Pit and Attacks with Snapcaster (me 14 Life)
- Me: Draw Remand, Intuition for Wasteland, Thespian Stage, Dark Depth, he is already second round in topdeck mode as I can Crime all his handcards he doesn't play, get Depth and play it, Remand mana still open
- Larry: Helm of Obedience gets Remanded and me dredging Loam, get attacked by Snapcaster to 12 Life, he has Tec Edge and Kor Haven to disturb my combo but I have Wasteland in grave
- Me: Loam for Waste, Stage + Land, Crime the Helm, playing Wasteland, leaving Counterspell mana open, Waste his Tec Edge
- Larry: Attacks me to 10
- Me: Draw Hero's Downfall, Crime away his Ugin
- Larry: Attack, Snapcaster get's killed by Downfall, he Brainstorms into Narset but then he searches his Library instead of looking only top library with Narset and concedes because of this and telling me that there are 2 lands on top of his library
- Me: mulligan to six into Foothills, Snow Forest, Lat-Nam's Legacy, Beast Within, Treasure Cruise, Misstep which seems like a solid hand against control, scrying Mana Leak on top
- Larry: Celestial Colonade
- Me: Wooded Foothills
- Larry: Probe which I respond with Fetch->Tropical Misstep as I don't want to give him information, he preordains afterwards, he forgets his land drop
- Me: Draw Emrakul, Snow Forest
- Larry: Misty, me Eot Lat-Nams Legacy which gets Spell Snared
- Me: Draw Thespian Stage, play it
- Larry: Baleful Strix which I Mana Leak, I'm unsure if this is correct as I'm not really worried about it but I want to start cruising so I decide to do it
- Me: Draw Force of will, missing land dorp
- Larry: Draws 3 cards instead of 1 and concedes because he did already quite some misplays, I offered to undo
Thanks for the games.
TaZi (Izzet-Control) vs Iulus (CradleHoof)
2:0
report follows
Vazdru - Firestarter 0-2
In game 1 I had a very good Hand with Turn 2 Crop Rotation into Academy with some Artifacts. In Turn 3 I played Capture of Jinghzou and Tezzeret. Vazdru gave up.
In Game 2 Vazdru countered the Candelabra but had nothing but BTB. I tutored for chain, which eot resolved and Slavered him. My Yawgmoth´s Will was good enough to kill him and he gave up.
Good games!
TaZi 2:0 lulus
we played in real life and Gerry wrote down the plays. Unfortunately he didn't recorded the starting hands.
Game 1
=======
We both keep our first seven cards and I start with Portent. Julius who is playing a Ramp deck with red splash has an arbor elf. On his second turn, I play miscalculation, to counter his Joraga Treespeaker. On my third turn, I sneak in a dack fayden and hope that not too much fat will hit the table. Polukranos enters the game on turn 3, which is big, but can still be handled by chain lightning and forked bolt. A green zenith is countered and on my turn 5 I can resolve a Stormbreath dragon, to put some pressure on the table. Lulus resolves sylvan library and deathrite shaman. I cycle into vendillion clique with dack and think, that I'm safe now, but in the drawstep on his sixth turn, he has primeval titan and woodland bellower in hand, which are both pretty good. I take the titan, and win the very close race against the bellower and his friends (being fierce empath into craterhoof behemoth)
Game 2
=======
We both go down to six and Lulus starts with forest into quirion ranger. I have Grim lavamancer and thing in the ice in the next two turns. On turn 3 he plays Polukranos again but this time, I sandbagged a Karakas to bounce him. A bit more problematic is the bloodbraid elf into scavenging ooze on the next turn as I'm quite low on cards in the graveyard. However after taking some hits from these guys, the thing in the ice flips and eventually wins the game with the resulting tempo.
r4nd0m 2 - Silberhase 1
report follows
Georg (Blood) 2:0 pmk (Jund)
Game 1:
pmk takes mulligan to 5 on the play, I kept 7.
I had Elvish Mystic, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Hymn to Tourach, Knight of the Reliquary, Elspeth, Swords to Plowshares, Bloodbraid Elf (into Nissa), no real game here...
Game 2:
I took a mulligan to 7, he kept.
I had Swords to Plowshared for his turn 1 Elf
He managed to drop Scavenging Ooze and Sylvan Advocate before I could destroy his second land. My own Ooze kept his Ooze from growing.
I got Liliana of the Veil letting him sac his Advocate. I blocked his Ooze with my own (both died)
When I played Thoughtseize he had still just 2 lands and I saw 2 3-Drops and a Demonic Tutor. (Tutor got discarded)
I had Tireless Tracker as my last card from hand.
His Chain Lightning killed my Liliana.
I had a land the turn after and a Shambling Vent already in play.
That was almost game.
pmk got a bit unlucky, and my permission sealed the second game.

Pairings for round 2 are announced
I've meet Paul (pmk) and Artus (Larry) yesterday for playing some games.
Although we started about 19.45 we weren't able to finish all games (Invitational & HLL) before Pub closed at 0.00 :)
So here's the first part of
Larry (Esper-Control) vs Vazdru (UGb Time Walk)
1: He won the roll and while i've kept a medicore hand after free mull he went down to 6. We both started with some Islands go. T3 he played Duress. I've tried Mana Drain which gets denied by Negate. Out of: Snapaster, Cyclonic Rift, Jace TMS and three lands he took Jace to hit the bin. While I've drawn only lands and ramp he is able to have Wall of Omens and as Narset Transcendent hit the table somehow it got nuts. Councils Judgment with rebound as my Fow has been countered by his FoW followed by Treasure Cruise with Rebound...when he played Dig Through Time I've conceded.
2: This time I've gone down to 6 while he kept 7 after free mull. I started with suspended Ancestral Visions he had Collonade. I played Forest, Wild Groth enchanting Island and Scavenging Ooze. While I've had Deathrite Shaman he is able to play Sorin, Lord of Innistrad which made some dudes to keep Ooze in check. My Jace TMS stuck too but as he Demonic into True-Name Nemesis it was hard to protect my PW. As I flooded the board with creatures and he was already down to 6 lp he was in need to play Supreme Verdict to stabilize. As he overlooked his own Kor haven once (which would have safed him some lp/damage of Tarmogoyf) and my Treetop Village I was able to bring that game home somehow.
to be continued...

r4nd0m 2 - Silberhase 1
report follows
I have, unfortunately, only very little recollection of the actual details of the match. I wanted to upload the replays from Cockatrice, but they werent available anymore after a few days.
Academy vs Academy
Game 1 he had a significantly better draw than me and showed me one of his combos.
Game 2 my deck gave me lots of mana and Mindslaver plus Academy Ruins.
In game 3 I had to mulligan to 6, only with an early Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas as action. I started attacking right away, while Silberhase tried to go off with Teferi, Temporal Archmage, but couldnt. Fabricate for Mindslaver gave me the extraturn to win.
ggs
derStefan82 (BUG Combo-Control) vs Firestarter (Academy) 2:1
Game 1:
Keep a hand with Probe, Counter, Muddle the Mixture, Map which seems ok for me against Academy.
Draw into more counters so that I'm able to counter all his acceleration and Winter Orb.
Eventually I can cast Oath with having Orchard in play and win via Emrakul + Dragon Breath.
Game 2:
Keep a hand with Loam, Mystical, Impulse and Misstep for action.
Unfortunately he drops first round Boseiju which I haven't planned with and I'm really afraid of.
I'm able to counter his Expedition Map but he finds Ruins to get back his Map + Deserted Temple.
I play Intuition for Depth (Stage in Hand) and Ravens Crime, Wasteland to get the Academy madness under control next turn + Disrupting his hand.
He plays Academy and cracks his Eggs for Value, at this point I think I missplay it as he plays Demonic Tutor with 6 open mana and only 1 card in hand.
I could have Spell Pierced to get him to 4 mana, at the time I said ok I regret not doing it so he is able to find Timespiral and ruins my Hand and Grave.
After a lot of timetwistering he is able to assemble the Slaver lock.
Game 3:
I keep a hand with Ritual, Dark Petition, Fastbond and Crop Rotation. Unfortunately I miss on green mana but I think that this hand can win against Academy faster then the Academy deck should be able to win.
Game goes different as expected as he drops Oath and I have Swan Song in hand. So I'm thinking about if I should counter it with Swan Song or if I should get greedy and try to abuse the Oath myself.
I decide for the second option as it's unsure if he has Orchard in hand and I have the counter for any tutor for it which is generating the token on his side and as a backup I would have Dark Petition and Crop Rotation for my own Orchard + Wasteland as a backup.
He plays Fastbond which I counter with Swan Song which he follows with Orchard.
So I have to think if I should risk a Doomsday line or go for Orchard, Wasteland. I decide for Orchard, Wasteland as I still have no green mana to finish next Turn with Doomsday guaranteed and I don't want to risk him resolving Oath.
He Mysticals for Regrowth and gets Orchard back so the game is stalled for a couple of turns.
I'm able to shred his Orchard again with Tec Edge, but before I get my first Oath activation he Time Walks into Upheaval (playing in topdeck mode).
As I still have Fastbond and Intution I'm able to pretty fast assemble Depth + Stage and win with Marit Large.
Thanks for good games.

r4nd0m (Academy.dec) 2 - Payron (4c Scapeshift) 0
report follows
Payron wins the roll and we both take a free mulligan. He starts with Treetop Village, Forest, Nature's Lore, Preordain versus my Land, Chrome Mox, Mind Stone and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, making tapped Ancient Den into a 5/5.
He attacks Tezz to death and plays Maze of Ith. I can deploy Crucible of Worlds and Hedron Archive, as he ramps and attacks some more. I crack Archive eot and manage to draw Upheaval, 2 Time Warp and Fabricate, which finds Expedition Map and Academy. He has Izzet Charm, which counters my first Time Warp.
On my following turn I can resolve Upheaval with 4 mana floating, giving me some time. A topdecked Timetwister AND Memory Jar give me Pore Over Pages and Sylvan Scrying for Inventor's Fair. He cannot stop his manaflood and concedes.
Game 2 I can keep Tezzeret the Seeker, Tainted Pact, Mindstone, Mossfire Egg, 3 lands, while Payron takes a free mulligan and keeps Treetop, Island, Swamp, TNN, Venser, Mystical Tutor and Maze of Ith. He draws Snapcaster while I draw Brainstorm, as he plays Mystical for Cultivate.
I play a Fetchland and end of his turn, Brainstorm finds me Inventor's Fair and Talisman of Impulse, and Tainted Pact exiles Mindslaver before finding Sylvan Scrying. Sacrificing Mossfire Egg and Sylvan Scrying elicits Venser, but my Talisman gives me another green mana and Academy, with Tezzeret and Crop Rotation in hand.
On his next Upkeep, he plays Snapcaster for Mystical for Force of Will and attacks me to 14 with Treetop and Venser, presenting a 2 turn clock with counterbackup.
I draw Mishra's Workshop and start with Crop Rotation for Deserted Temple (3 artifacts in play) to play Tezzeret (Force) and leave open Inventor's Fair activation. With Mindslaver already removed, my options are limited. Rings of Brightheart would have given me infinite mana and 3 draws from Mind Stone and Shadowblood Egg, but Memory Jar with 9 mana floating is better.
I draw Basalt Monolith, crack Jar and find and play Mox Diamond, Fellwar Stone, Crucible, Capture of Jingzhou and Fabricate for Rings of Brighthearth.
Next turn, infinite mana and Inventor's Fair find me Hedron Archive and Scroll Rack and with the cards I draw a Temporal Manipulation and Academy Ruins to go infinite with Memory Jar and a cantrip artifact.

Game 1:
I kept after free mull a risky hand with no lands but Chrome Mox, Mox Opal,GW Talisman, Ponder, Hedron Archive, Trinket Mage and Tezzeret. My Opp also free mulled and kept Island, BG Fetch, BS, Duress, Flipjace, Splintertwin and Chandra, Torch of Defiance.
He started with Island go.I topdecked deserted temple, imprinted Trinket Mage into Chrome Mox and also played Talisman and Mox opal, but kept ponder in hand. He played BS with fetch into Badlands + Duress and discarded me Tezzeret. I drew Preordain and played Hedron Archive. He missed his 3rd Land and played only Jace. I got Ancient Tomb now and pondered into Toxic to kill jace. Now he played Thing in the Ice. In the Next turns I looked deeper into my deck with my cantrips (also got preordain and snapi into BS) and finally i got trophy mage into rings and tolaria west, so my plan was to get rings combo online. Unfortunatly he played eot Lightning Bolt my Trophy Mage and MYstical into Thoughtseize and ripped my Rings with that. He also played Treasure Cruise, so Thing in the Ice got flipped and put me onto preasure, but still hasn't found 3rd land. Now i topdecked map and I could play my Snapcaster again into Ponder but found nothing good but i could use my map for wasteland to screw him out completely. Now his chance was only on Thing in the Ice, but Snapcaster gave me one more round. On my turn I transmuted tolaria into academy, made me a couple of mana and saced Archive for two cards. There I found Regrowth which gave me trophy mage back an tutored Staff of Domination. He topdecked Tec Edge, but I only had three Lands so he couldn't use it against my academy. Finally I got Grim Monolith into Power Artifact online.
Game 2:
I kept a semi good hand with Forest, Map, Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, Time Twister, Regrowth and Pore Over the Pages. He kept Lacaclaw Reaches, Volcanic Island, Gitaxian Probe, Sinkhole, Mana Drain, Mana Leak and Clique.
Turn 1 He play Probe and Reaches and Me Forest and Map, Turn 2 he Volcanic and Me my topdecked Tropical Island. Again he missed 3rd land. In case I had no artifacts beside map i choosed to tutor wasteland to screw him down again. With Regrowth I could use my Wasteland again for his 2nd land and he saw no more lands for the rest of the game. At least i comboed out with paradox engine.
Thanks for the games.

In g2 he has to try at least Tasigur (3 mana + 3 delvecards) after he played Sylvan Library, not to use his mana in this situation must be a fault anytime.

Thanks for the games
Firestarter - Payron 2-1
Game 1 I had a lot of Artifact Lands and Crop Rotation against Jace, Vryn´s Prodigy and Force of Will. I draw no accelleration and he countered a bit. Mystical took his Scapeshift.
Game 2 I had a super fast hand with 2 moxes and Candelabra, he had a slow hand. In turn 3 I played Winter Orb, Demonic and went into Time Spiral. He gave up when I walked and had Tainted Pact.
Game 3 I had 2 Artifact Lands and Rings of Brighthearth. In Turn 2 He played Farseek and I wasted 2 Lands.
I played Sylvan Scrying, which got countered, but Crop Rotation gave me deserted Temple and I could go of and kill him with Stroke of Genius.
Good Games!
I finally found the time to comment my games. The first game was quite long and the replay wasn't saved. In the end I conceded as randoms win was probable and I ran out of time. I made 2 videos of the other two games:

derStefan82 (BUG-Combo-Control) - Tazi (Izzet Control) 3:0
Game 1:
I keep a Hand with Inquisition, Concescend, Evasive Action, Shelldock Isle, Verdant Catacombs, Demonic Tutor, Force of Will
3 Counters, 1 Discard, Tutor seems good against Izzet
I start because of standings.
Me: Shelldock Isle tapped
Tazi: Island, Preordain
Me: Fetch for Swamp
Tazi: Island
Me: Bayou, Inquisition -> Tazi responses with Brainstorm showing me Mystical Tutor, Back to Basics, Ligthing Bolt, Counterspell and 3 Lands
I'm pretty worried to see this after Brainstorm in response to discard as I assume his top cards he protected are even better
Choosing Back to Basics, Demonic Tutor for Intuition as he has no countermana and I still have Force for emergencies
Tazi: Fetch for Moutain, Blood Moon -> Force of Will
Me: Hinterland Harbor, Intuition for Loam, Depth, Stage
I think about waiting with the land drop to go for faster combo by playing depth or stage but decide for the save game and open mana for Mystical
Tazi: Island, Me: EOT Mystical for Drain
Me: Dark Depth
Tazi: Island
Me: Dredge Loam, Loam for Stage, Island, Fetch, Island as I don't want to go into combo without countermana anyway / no pressure
Tazi: Island
Me: Thespian Stage, Tazi: EOT Dig Through Time-> Drain -> Counterspell -> Evasive Action
Tazi: Island
Me: Draw Mystic Confluence so I decide to spend Drain Mana to build Marit Large and still have Confluence mana open, Tazi: EOT Mystical for Confluence
Tazi: Confluence -> Confluence gg
Game 2:
I keep a hand with Island, 2 Swamp, Misstep, Into the North, Oath, Watery Grave after Mulligan
Decide to go for it as 3 basics seems ok and Oath might steel a game, only missing green mana)
Tazi: Mountain
Me: Watery grave (draw Negate)
Tazi: Island
Me: Island (draw Thespian Stage so Combo with Into the North)
Tazi: Island
Me: Swamp (draw Loam, still no green mana)
Tazi: Island
Me: Fetch for Bayou, Into the North for Depth
Tazi: Merchant Scroll for Mystical
Me: Thespian Stage, Tazi: EOT Mystical -> Misstep -> Pyro so he finds Repeal
I don't want to fight over Mystical as I still have Negate
Tazi: - , me: EOT Marit Large -> Repeal -> Negate -> Remand on Repal -> Repeal
Fine for me as I still have Loam and he used a lot of spells
Me: draw Beast within, Loam -> Force of will, Oath
I could have gone for Oath and his upkeep Beast Within his one Mountain but only thought about it too late and as he plays a lot of burn it might have not worked anyway
Tazi: Mountain
Me: Dredge Loam, Loam for Depth, Stage, Fetch, play Stage
Tazi: Mountain, me: EOT Beast Within Island to trigger Oath -> Lightning Bolt
Me: Thespian Stage, Tazi: EOT Price which I Swan Song
Tazi: Mountain
Decide not to build Marit Large as I don't get an Oath trigger anymore I assume
Me: Oath Trigger finding Rune-Scarred Demon taking Mystical Confluence to be able to either counter or deal with the token, draw Brainstorm
Should have taken a 2 mana Counter here to make better plays unfortunely
Tazi: Plays Mountain me EOT: Brainstorm getting Will and Sandbar, me: EOT Marit Large
Me: Will -> Snapcaster into Remand, attack with Marit Large -> block with Bird
Tazi: Attack with Snapcaster, Jace bounce Marit Large, Magus of the Moon
I don't understand why to play Moon here as it triggers Oath but assume that either Oath trigger or Loam trigger wins somehow and he shuts down my green mana. I assume Oath generally can win faster.
Me: Oath into Emrakul, discard his last card with Ravens Crime, attack Jace with Demon
Tazi: gg
Game 3:
Keep hand with Fastbond, Forest, Flooded Strand, Bayou, Lat-Nams Legacy, Impulse, Oath, Loam
Kind of riskier hands as I have no counters but turn 1 3 lands + either Legacy or Impulse seems good + Loam and Oath as gas
Tazi: Volcanic
Me: Forest, Fastbond, Bayou, Strand for Island, Impulse finds Intuition
Tazi: Mountain, Young Pyromancer, Probe
Me: Loam for 4th land + Oath
Tazi: Attac for 3 + Chain Lighting
Me: Oath into Rune-Scarred Demon finding Glacial Chasm, Play Glacial Chasm
Tazi: Island
Me: Sac Chasm, Oath into Emrakul Dragon Breath, 2 Counters in Hand so I can counter his Cryptic for gg
Thanks for games
