[HLL]Scoreboard - Season VIII

[Mythrandir]

Mythrandir's 5CC VS Pennywise wG elfs

Game 1: he starts playing loads of mana elfs including roffelos, which got STP. i played eladrami call -> doran, and played doran, which stall the game a little bit. After that a plow under + a next turn creeping mold set me back and he started attacking. Luckily i had a jund charm, and when he played a hermit druid i played it, cleaning the board. he played more elfs and SoFI but i had deed, again table cleaned. In the end a nantuko brought him into the red zone for a FTW demonfire. GG, really close.

Game 2: starts a lot slower (which is sweet for me) he played greaves and searches for gaes cradle. i had waasteland and an impulse showed me LFTl (i had tolearia west in hand). he played a spell for 3 1/1 elf tokens + chord of calling for an elvish champion. luckily i had trygond predator that wiped the greaves and then killed his champion (sudden shock), meanwhile the trygon + maze calmed the game a little bit. i transmuted toleria for EE and played it for zero. he played some more elfs, but by now i had LFTL going with toleria: vesuva -> double maze and afterwards volrath stronghold (had witness + loxodon + shriekmaw in grave) by now i had complete board control, including a pact of negation in hand. GG, he dealt me more than 20 lfts this game and even got me to 2lfts (finks + loxodon + helix handled that).

Thks for playing

2:0

[Helle]

Helle (UWB Fish) vs MrGreen (5c Survival)

Game 1 I start with Land Tax, searching lots of lands during the game. I then play Dark Confidant, which was a mistake, as it does 12 damage to me in 4 turns. His Witness + Elspeth are too much then.

Game 2 I play a turn 2 Vendillion Clique leaving him with Elspeth + Garruk and lands only. I counter all his attempts to get rid of the flyer which kills him.

Game 3 he stays some time at 2 lands + Bird. Gerrard's Verdict followed up by a Mindtwist empty his hand, but I don't have much left either. His Qasali Pridemage and my Serendib are beating for quite some turns. Venser helps me to win the damage race.

I win 2:1 in some rather fast games.

Thanks for playing!

[Seveneyes]

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. Goblin Piledriver (Zoo) 2:1

First game he plays some critters and a lightning helix and finishes me quickly off. I have Akroma in grave but nothing to reanimate her.

Second game he plays mana elves and critters and a sword of fire and ice. I have a merfolk looter, which discard blazing archon. I reanimate it just in time and he doesnt find removal for it.

Third game again he has a mana elve and a boggart ram gang. I play shriekmaw to kill it. A blightning lets me discard wild mongrel and inkwell leviathan. Makeshift mannequin brings the leviathan back, who finishes the game.

Thx for playing.

[Seveneyes]

Seveneyes (Reanimator) vs. No Stress (Stax) 2:1

First game i do nothing and catch an early mind twist for 4. A wildfire later i have almost no cards in play nor in hand.

Second game i play second turn merfolk looter, who is killed by sword. His doppelganger thoughtcourier may enter the battlefiel instead. Fourth turn i flashback roar of the wurm, just before armageddon hits the game, followed by maze of ith to control the wurm. The courier searches me new lands and i can exhume sphinx of the steel wind. The two 6/6 bring him down.

Third game he has first turn mishras workshop and double talisman. Next turn he play tangle wire, so for some rounds i just draw cards and play lands. He destroys a land with wasteland and tries to copy my dust bowl with vesuva. With the wire gone i can play breath of life targeting woodfall primus and remove the copied dust bowl. His gifts ungiven reveal sword to plowshares, regrowth maze and crucible of worlds. I put to grave the sword and regrowth, thinking that i can handle the maze with my fulminator mage. It is not even necessary as he is down to one life and cant handle the primus and a reanimated quasali pridemage the same time.

Thx for the games

[The_Ocean]

The_Ocean(Reanimator) vs. GoblinPiledriver(UGB)
I win 2:0

Game 1: I played a Thought Courier, discarded a Sundering Titan, played Life/Death bringing it back destroing 3 of his lands, i think it whent all the way.

Game 2: I started with Tarmogoyf, he had finks, i fallowed with Wild Mongrel, played a FoF, he did a 4-1 split, puting Dance of the Dead as the 1 card and some other "ok" cards as the 4 card pile, luckly i had an Eternal Witness in hand geting me back the Dance, i discarded Iona to Monrel, and played the Dance on the Iona (nameing Green, in retrospect i should had named Black), on his turn he had a Demonic tutor for Sower of temp. geting my Iona, he was taped out, on my turn i attacked and played a Gifts Ungiven for Angel of Despair and 3 reanimate spells, i used Life/Death on the Angel, killed the Sower and attacked, un his upkep he had Genesis in grave, and returned Sower back to his hand, played sower and took my Angel of Despair, un my trun i attacked with the team, but i had Mana drain in hand that i had gatten from Fof, and un his turn when he repeated using genesis and played Sower i had the counter.

GGs all the way, that last game really close.

[The_Ocean]

The_Ocean(Oath) vs. Cadaj(GRU Stompy)
I win 2:1

Game 1: I had low life but was able to activate oath, archangel was revealed and on the fallowing turn after some oath activations i gat the game.

Game 2: He had a 2nd turn Btb and that was gg for me

Game 3: I had a 2nd turn Oath and Lftl in grave, and wasteland, that was the game

GGs, g1 was a very intense game he gat me to 4 life with a board full of guys.

[Helle]

randomizer (Rbg Goblins) vs Helle (UWb Fish)

Game 1 I start pretty fast with Isamaru and Azorius Herald before he casts Mindtwist to empty my hand. Next turn:

0:09:59 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r plays Goblin Recruiter from Hand
...
searching
...
0:13:13 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r is looking top 30 cards of its Library...
0:13:22 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r rearranges cards in r4nd0m1z3r's Library
...
I went afk for some min
...
0:20:01 [r4nd0m1z3r] r4nd0m1z3r rearranges cards in r4nd0m1z3r's Library

10 minutes of searching and rearranging! I wouldn't play this deck online 

Well, in the end I topdecked a Force Spike to counter his Ringleader. He already is low on lifepoints, so I try to keep  preassure high on. Next turn I topdeck again and play Pestermite to tap his only blocker. He then gives up, as he is facing two evasion guys with too little life.

Game 2 he starts with Chrome Mox and Dark Confidant, but I am holding Swords. He then plays Duress, missing his landdrop. I use a Seal of Cleansing to screw him and play Isamaru. He plays Mogg Fanatic and we're beating each other without many action for some turn. He then plays Mogg Flunkies, but I topdeck again and play Paladin en-Vec. The next turn, I draw another really useful spell: Parallax Wave. I remove all his creatures except the Flunkies and bring him to one lifepoint. He then plays a Skirk Prospector and sacrifices all his Goblins to play Living Death. As I remove the last counter from Parallax Wave to save the Paladin en-Vec, he concedes.

I excuse myself for the insane draws I had, as I think my matchup is pretty bad against his deck. Nevertheless the games were fun to play (I hope he enjoyed it, too)!

Helle 2 : randomizer 0

[No Stress]

No Stress (Naya Aggro) 2:1 Irenicus (Dream Halls Combo)

G1 He comboed off with Dream Halls into repeated blue Myojin ftw

G2 i kep hnd with krosa Grip, turn befor he goes off he plays venvilion clique removing grip, next main phase i cast gaddock teeg ftw

g3 i get out ral slow, he has no defensive spells either, i manage to gethim to exactly 0 life with a gruesome combination of saprolings, a factory, bonesplitter and magma jet.

good games, really close

[No Stress]

No Stress (Naya Aggro) 2:0 Pyyhttu (RDW)

G1 I get out fast (turn one Wild Nactatl, doesnt get any faster), he gets out slow, plays blood guy, i play that graft equipment, he clears the board with breath of dariggaaz, what a cool card. I play Troll Ascetic whih takes it home.

G2 Pyyhttu opens with Black Vise into Shrapnel Blast into Browbeat into said Breath, then the game crashes :/ on the tipo server, can u believe that?? anyways, he was busy and gave me the win.

[Sturmgott]

Sturmgott (New Bant) vs. Nastaboi (5c Stax) 2:1

Game one my creatures quickly overwhelm him. A well-timed Vendillion Clique finishes him off.

Game two I'm stuck on Hallowed Fountain and Mishra's Factory, thus I can, due to his Tabernacle, only keep my Kataki but never play Remand or Mana Drain. He manages to get a Smokestack into play which forces me to sac Kataki, play Quasali Pridemage and in his EOT I can pick my poison: I chose to destroy his Smokestack with two counters on it but hav to leave Rising Waters on the Board. I still do not find land and concede.

Game 3 was the most intense one. My opening hand was LoA, AEther Vial, Birds, Windswept Heath, Forest, Force of Will and Psionic Blast. I play LoA and say go, he plays... Vesuva (!). We keep drawing cards while the number of counters on my Vial slowly grows. When he is at twelve, I put Vendillion Clique into play, take away the Rising Waters I remanded last turn and in my turn I rancor it and beat him to 7. He plays Ajani Vengeant, which I mana drain, then he plays Tezzeret, seeks for 3 loyalty and finds Ensnaring Bridge. He is now tapped out with only Goblin Welder in hand and Magus of the Tabernacle on the table. EOT I vial my Man'o'War into play, his hand goes to two card with the now bounced Magus. Since he is now at four life (thx to repeated usage of an Ancient Tomb and fetchlands) my Psionic Blast does the rest.

[Tabris]

Tabris (MonoU) vs Mr. Green (5c Survival)

1st Game: Mr. Green was a bit slow so Ive cold develop a good board with Thran Dynamo, Power Stone and got 2 Extra Turns after that I resolved a Gifts and
Mr. Green got nothing to answer that. A fast and unspectacular game.

2nd Game: Mr. Green cast a Aether Vial and cold drop on turn 2 a noble hierarch and a wall of roots following by a lotus cobra and Tarmogoyf which was answered by my duplicant (got thran dynamo, basalth monolith, power stone and a lot of islands + capsize) but he could resolve his Survival and was able to put me under hard pressure so i couldnt find any answers.

3rd Game: 1st Turn LoA on my side and turn 4 Prendrell Mists, later followed by a disk which cleaned the board. After that we both have nothing but i was able to cast a mindslaver and thats why i could nullify his fact or fiction (which was drawn by miscalculation)

some turns later i was able to get my LoA active (thanks to Tidings) and he said gg with nothing on the board except for some token, (I had sower, Tabernacle, Wall of Reverence).

gg´S

[Payron]

No Stress (Zoo) - Payron (5c survival - firesstalker-style)

First Game: He put some good pressure down with Skyshroud elite - 3/3 goblin that can t attack alone ... I could counter with Rhox Warmonk (which got killed with help of Crosans Might) and Tarmogoyf (path to exil) so I had only looter Il-kor and Birds on the board and could top deck Solitary Confiment which was keeped alive with top, looter and lftl later supported from LoA and Dark confident so the game was over .. he just tryed to topdeck but survial settled the game

second game: He was just to fast Wild Nacalcat 3/3 - Skyshroud Elite - Goblin 3/3 like in game 1 and gaddock teeg ... I was a bit screwed and had second turn survival and top ... so i tryed to safe myself with Loxodon Hierrach to be on 1 life .. my only white mana source was City of Brass

Third game: I got LoA first turn ... he mulled to 6 ... had first turn grim lavamancer + rancor to attack for 3 .. I bounced with Man o war and destroyed his only land with vindicate so he gave up right away ... unlucky game for him sry

1:2

[Helle]

derStefan (Oath) vs Helle (Fish)

Game 1 he has to go down to six cards after spoils mulligan. Tidehollow Sculler takes Mana Drain, so that he's only got Call of the Herd and lands left. Dark Confidant and Elspeth ended the game rather fast.

Game 2 he plays an Oath on Turn 4. I am really lucky: first I destroy it with Seal of Cleansing but he got Regrowth. I then prevent him from using it with Trickbind and Stifle for two turns, drawing cards with Mask of Memorys meanwhile. Afterwards I realize that I can't prevent it any more and play a morphed Exalted Angel, hoping to race him. He then reveals Iona, Shield of Emeria naming blue. He should have named white I guess, even though my hand was FoF, FoW and Sygg at that time. So I topdeck Parallax Wave and counter his Damnation next turn with FoW. He then reveals Progenitus and concedes. If he revealed Ancestor's Chosen instead, he probably would've won. Bad luck 

I win 2:0

Thanks for playing!

[marchhare]

vazdru (monoB-aggro) vs. marchhare (5cc) 0-2

G1 he drops bitterblossom on the second turn, then plays some creatures and (the really) bad moon (in this case), and threatens to kill me next turn, but i fetch e. explosives with trinket mage, and blow up his whole board (except 2 tokens).
After that he reanimates his graverobber, but after a "topdecked" ancestral visions - and 4 turns later - i kill him after beating down to 3, and tainted pact into lightning helix.

G2 i feel lucky with weathered wayfarer and bird (re-accelerates after losing speed with fetched library), but he drops bloodchief ascension t1 and comboes out with dauthi slayer  .
This forces me (i have force but no second blue card the whole game  ) to fetch maze, to prevent ascension triggers t2 and play bird, to mindtwist his last 3 cards the following turn ( after he plays bloodghast).
After some turns i manage to stabilize in spite of his ankh of mishra, bloodmoon and cursed scroll, and play elspeth, wich kills him with two 2/2 squires ( he concedes one turn before).

nice and exciting games, thank you 

[firestarter]

Firestarter (4c-Survival) - Nastaboi (Stax) 2-0
Sry, no time to write a report.
Both games were a short battle, he never came in Wildfirezones.
Thanks for the games
