Drop, I wont be part of this league in the foreseeable future. Thanks for all the opponents I played against past few years for good games.

It was sloppy of me. Any chance I could use my vacation time and extend round for a few days so we can play our match?

dsck UW(b) Control 3-0 TaZi 4c Blood

G1 I have bunch of removal and lands, it seems TaZi has very similar hand and I scry Entreat on top which makes 3 or 4 tokens of which 1 survives and goes all the way. Both players drew ~5 turns nothing but lands 

G2 I have hand with Back to Basics, counterspell, JTMS, lands and TaZi's Hymn takes Back to Basics and land. I manage to topdeck Wasteland for TaZis manlands and play JTMS with "Wasteland backup" I bounce his Doran and try to have Mana Confluence protection for jace next turn. TaZi plays Gideon the something Ally and passes, I Brainstorm finding Mystical Tutor and hold Mana Confluence but I have to use it to save JTMS from gideon token, then he Vindicates the Jace after I tapped for Mana Confluence to bounce the token and draw 2 cards. EOT I Mystical into 4 angel Entreat and we have race which he tries to win with Lingering Souls holding my angels but my Dissolve stops that plan.

G3 TaZi has turn 2 Sylvan Library but not much pressure. I wrath the board when he played 3rd creature, his follow up to my tapped out board is only Anafenza + llanowar elf. Apparently he is low on mana despite having Sylvan Library. I hold mana drain and path Anafenza beginning of combat. He plays 2nd main vampire with 4/1 haste + flying and I drain that into a turn where I Treasure cruise, Demonic for Back to Basic. Tazi plays the instant speed demonic that exiles cards and find Abrupt Decay and passes with his forest + swamp and mana elf being the only working manasources currently. I remove Sylvan Library and pass holdig Azorius Charm to hopefully get his elf. Tazi attacks with llanowar which I put on his deck with charm. I can play Elspeth Sun's Champion or hold Mana Confluence, he will have untapped mana on his next turn because of the decay destroying Back to basics on my eot. I decide to play Elspeth. He has Lighting Helix + Kolaghan's Command to remove Elspeth. I untap and set up for either Snapcaster flashing back Mana Confluence or draw 4 with Sphinx's revelation. He plays Lingering Souls + Sorin Solemn something, I Snapcaster back Mana Confluence to counter Sorin and draw 2 cards. I pass and rev for 5 his eot, at this point Tazi has 1 or 0 cards left and I have full grip with mystical teachings --> mystical tutor --> entreat + top in play so I can do this his eot.

TaZi mulliganed to 6 G1 and had to take new hands in many of the games, I didnt mull at all and drew well. Mystic Confluence performed well 


Thanks for the games.

do we have the decklists of our opponents in the semi-finals?

dsck UW(b) Control 2-1 TaZi 4c Blood

G1 My hand had some nonbasic lands, demonic tutor, gideon jura and  lat-nams legacy. My plan was to tutor for lingering souls and find wrath with lat-nams into gideon. But I got Wastelanded and he had sylvan library into anafenza and knight so I had to demonic for wrath effect and he had time to get garruk online and little bit later ajani which with helix killed my gideon. In the end he had too much advantage from Sylvan Library and he tainted pacted twice thanks to tasigur so my humility got killed by vindicate he tutored for and my only out left was entreat which I didnt find.

G2 I demonic tutored for humility and he didnt find removal for it and I some turns later eot sphix's revelation'd for 6 and that was enough.

G3 I kept risky keep which would scoop to wasteland. My hand had misstep but he had slow start without mana elf. I mystical teachings for fow to counter his turn 4 Rhino pitching misstep and followed it up once again with gideon jura (had him each game!) that killed his tapped knight. He played his own gideon and I played lingering souls and passed the turn. He had zealous persecution which took me by surprise and he got my tokens and my gideon.

I had drawn enlightened tutor and decided to tutor for moat on his eot. He played sorin that makes lifelink creatures, made an emblem with both gideon and sorin and passed. He was at 12 thanks to Sylvan Library so I decided to try to kill him in 3 turns with celestial colonnade. But he casts another sorin that makes flyers and big flyers thanks to 2 emblems. I luckily topdecked humility and that made his token lose flying and celestial colonnade was again threathening to kill him soon. He didnt find answer to moat or humility and colonnade went all the way


By the way how do you save replays on cockatrice? Writing from memory I lose many details...

dsck UW(b) Control 2-0 Goblin Piledriver (Abzan-Midrange)

G1 Im one the draw with nice hand including mana drain & back to basics. I get t1 inqusition'd and lose back to basics. We pass turns and I ponder into some okayish cards but without 2nd white I cant get value from mana drain manas if I counter something. I decide to keep the cards from ponder anyway and Piledriver baits the mana drain with some 3 mana card. I play some cantrips and pass, he plays thrun and im stuck on 4 lands but I have multiple wraths plus terminus on top which clears thrun. Soon enough I resolve elspeth and gideon after wiping board with wraths and the planeswalkers finish the game.

G2 I keep 2-lander with lots of counters, I find more lands and keep noncreature spells off the board until I can find wrath. He beats me with Anafenza while pumping mana dork and Im down to pretty low life total until I find maze and soon sensei's top which finds card draw into humility/wrath. Piledriver floods but has Karakas bouncing Anafenza but cant get enough pressure to get through maze. My top shows 2 lands and cruise on top 3, I decide to be ballsy and flip the top and fetch and then draw in to some gas, play Elsepth Sun's Champion and pass the turn and we get socket error and get disconnected from the server. Piledriver drew demonic but gives me the win because he had low chances (if I were in 1 life point lower life total he may have won).

Cockatrice is OK software but server disconnections were you cant resume from same game point are very disappointing.

dsck UW(b) control 2-0 Tweedel 4c Blood

G1 I pressure his life total with lingering souls until he gets enough board presense to race me and uses removal on token. Then I eot Mystical Teachings for Mystical Tutor -> upkeep tutor into terminus and my opponent has only 2 lands left. Then I get Jace Architect down and reveal insane pile of elspeth, island, humility and soon lock the game with back to basics.

G2 My opponent has choice between Swords to Plowshares and Back to Basics with his Inquisition of Kozilek. He chooses STP. I survive his follow up Liliana of the Veil by having treasure cruise in hand to draw back into the game and his manas are locked with Back to Basics so I only need to find o-ring effect for his Liliana and then get rid of his small ground creatures from nibbling my life total to 0. I find humility and then on last possible turn Jace, the Architect which locks the board until I draw counters for protection.
