[marchhare]

firestarter-(4cc) vs marchhare-(5cc) 0-2

the games started "suddenly" , i was too distracted to remember g1, ... i started beatdown with t2 bob and t3 trygon predator, we both alternately dealt with the opponents threats, until he was very low and killable in 2 turns. he succeeded in getting maze and a huge knight of the reliquary, but i could accumulate enough mana (with garruk) to play gifts on 3 damage dealing cards and eternal witness so that he conceded after his eot.

g2 i got t1 bird into t2 finkel wich he vindicated. after that i countered some of his spells and removed his genesis + 9 other cards grave with a strong tormods crypt (both games ) while setting on some soft pressure with glen elendra and mind censor. he made strong turns with bazaar, volraths stronghold and boneshredder and even madnessed me with circular logic  .

the game became continually tightened... upkeep-bazaaring didnt bring him any solutions and he was forced to play from the top with minimal manipulation possibilities, while i had divining top plus polluted delta wich gave immense virtual card advantage and lead to a strong arc lightning (qasali pridemage plus boneshredder), jotun grunt (threatened to disable volraths stronghold), loxodon hierarch (handled by recycled shredder) and the final evasive action (countered his third time played shredder).
at his eot we had no cards in hands and nothing relevant into play apart from 6 power in front of him .

thank you for the good games ! 

[Tabris]

Tabris (UG-AggroControl) vs VazDru (UGB Loam) 2:0

1st Game: I start with noble hierarch, following by a tyron predator and a scryb ranger. After some beatdown VazDru is able to cast a Damnation.
We both recreating our boards and he start with Lftl, Cyphalid Colosseum etc. while hes doing that he beats me with a sower. Some turns later i force him to witness his damnation and beats him off with archmage, garruk and crafted wargear

2nd Game: He is screwed and i have enough creatures on my board to put him under pressure. Finally ill beat him with troll ascet, sower and archmage with FoW, Mana Drain and Daze backup.

[Tabris]

Tabris (UG-AggroControl) vs. NoStress (UWG LandDeck)) 2:0

1st Game: ...mh cant remeber much bc it was about 40 minutes but there was a lot of Lftl action...finally a turn 2 spellstutter sprite finishs him off with Sword of F/I.

2nd Game: Fast beatdown with Garruk, Sower Control magic and stuff. He istn able to finde fast enough some answers.

-jFk- (WW)  VazDru (BlackWeenie)   2:0

I rushed him in two rather short games. He had a few guys himself, even ProWhite in second game but just wasn't fast enough.


Thx anyway.

[firestarter]

Firestarter (4c Survival) - no stress (RDW) 2-0
First game was very close, since i pernicious deeded him and had beatdown with finks and loxodon Hierarch.
Second one he had no pressure on board playing vortex, with cobra i had plenty of mana playing gifts, destroying his enchantment, i sworded his hellspark elemental with last mana and played baneslayer from my opening hand. i showed him 2 counters and he gave up.
Thanks for the games

[Seveneyes]

Seveneyes (Reanimator) : Mr Green (5c Survival) 2:1

First game I drew and discarded a lot of cards, but didnt do much. I conceded, when he had Garruk, Tarmogoyf and Glen Elendra Archmage.

Second game a Back to Basics locked me down several rounds. The turn he dropped Glen Elendra again tapped out I could destroy the Enchantment and put the fairy under the library with bant charm. He countered many of my reanimator spells, but was screwed a little due to Wasteland + Dust Bowl. Finally I got Survival online and he conceded facing a reanimated Woodfall Primus.

Third game I had first turn Entomb - Woodfall Primus and second turn Animate Dead. He conceded with Plains and Quasali Pridemage on the board.

thx for the games

[derStefan82]

derStefan82 (BUWG Oath) vs Olord (Goblins) 2:0

First game he got 2/1 goblin and few burn I had lot counters and 3rd round Intuition to get Oath, Natures Spiral, Regrowth brought me 2 rounds later Oath with drawn Orchard. Got Empyrial Archangel. He tried to beat down the Angel with attack and two burn spells could counter one and Angel won for me.

Second game I mulliganed to 5 he had also a bad start with 3 rounds no drop. I hold hand with 3 lands Moat and Condescend. I played Moat in round three afterwards I could counter relevant Burn-spells and got Library online which brought me int the next X rounds Shred Memory to tutor Oath and afterwards after Gifts which was enough.

Thanks for games.

[derStefan82]

derStefan82 (UWBG Oath) vs firestarter (survival)

first game mulligan and risky hand with oath tryed to get oath online but of course he could counter as I remember. He started with hermit filled up his grave, handled later by explosive afterwards mindcensor and all good stuff like stronghold glen elendra bazaar etc. so I gave up as I could not see any chance to break through.

second game I got lucky oath online after mindtwist which did not hit my transmuter and can handle with some lifepoints by ancestors chosen and afterwards progenitus and archangel.

third game I had nice hand with garruk, 4 lands, demonic and mox diamond. I tutored oath and played unprotected. Got explosives next turn but I got garruk. (Somewhere between I think I could negate his elspeth) Next turn I got roar the worm and one after another worm and a beast token + attack of first worm. Looked very impressive for me but he got witness on explosive killing all my nice big overrunable tokens. I could kill all his creatures with an infest (bird, witness, and something small) and could kill him with my beast army I created from round to round with garruk.

Funny games for me, thanks for it.

[GoblinPiledriver]

Goblin Piledriver(Naya-Zoo)     vs      Irenicus(Blue Skies)
2:0

Game1:Irenicus is beginning
R1: Drifter il-Dal      --  Noble Hierarch
R2:                        -- Woolly Thoctar(get Daze)
R3:                        -- Kitchen Finks
R4: Thalakos Seer  -- Scab-Clan Mauler + River Boa
R5: Dream Stalker  -- Winter Orb + Kami of Ancient Law
R6: Sea Drake        --  Rancor(Kami)
R7:                        -- Lightning Bolt ...

Wooly Thoctar got Daze`d, but Kitchen Finks, Scab-Clan Mauler, Rancored Kami sealed the game quickly. Supported by Winter orb which defeats Drifter il-Dal.


Game2: Irenicus is beginning
R1:                          --  Tattermunge Maniac
R2: Sea Sprite          -- Grim Lavamancer + Bonesplitter
R3: Wasteland(Stomping Ground) + Cloud of Faeries + Spindrift Drake  --
R4:                           -- Scab-Clan Mauler(gets Daze)
R5: Mask of Memory  --  Ranger of Eos(G.G.,F.o.D.)
R6: Giant Tortoise      --  Goblin Guide + Figure of Destiny
R7: Snap(Ranger)       -- Sarkhan Vol(get Delay)     
R8: Ponder + Pongify(Cloud of Faerys)  -- Sword of Fire and Ice(kills Sea Sprite)
R9:                             --  ...               

Sea Sprite defeats Tattermunge Maniac. After this, it was a game Mask of Memory against Grim Lavamancer. My Ranger of Eos searches Goblin Guide and Figure of Destiny, Goblin Guide died at the first round, Figure suffered(not died) at Sea Sprite. I would rather had searched Wild Nacatal, but at the time I was searching I thought with Plains, Horizon Canopy and City of Brass a Figure is not so painful. Really wrong idea, through the Mana demand of  the Figure. 
The Ranger was getting bounced, Sarkhan Vol got Supend 3(I knowed from G.Guide that he got Delay). At the end I killed him with Sword of Fire and Ice in 2 turns.
In the last round I was on 5 life, because of the attaks from Irenicus and many pain lands(Canopy, City, K.Forest). He had Psionoc Blast and Echoing Truth in hand but 4 Lands.

[marchhare]

jfk(strong-ww) vs. marchhare(combo-aggro-rea.) 1-2

G1 he has a  fkng overwhelming fast start, my deck decides to help me him with 2 painlands  .
--> i had 10 life, he a flying 2/1 and 3 other creatures, in resp. to wargear on the flyer i played entomb (pain  )
for darkblast, dredged it with merfolk looter and killed the pegasus (pain again  ) ... fell down on 8 life, hoped i would distract him, so that he doesnt equip again  , but he did and killed me with 8 dmg ( id reanimate blazing archon next turn  )

G1 i play T1 entomb into darkblast in his eot, and kill his figure of destiny during my turn. then i dredge it and have (together with used fetchlands) enough mana to play T3 tombstalker, wich protects me from his 2/2 flyer, next turn i discard some big beater and reanimate it...

G3 becomes the most interesting of all, cause he starts with isamaru and T2 eight and a half tails. my waterfront bouncer gets unmaked  . set under heavy pressure by his growing terror squad i play intuition (with 3 rean. spells in hand  ) on hellkite, emp. archangel and blazing archon (--> archon ) eot (i was at 8 life, he had 4 mana for the fox), and kill his fox with necromancy in my turn. he recovers with more beaters, aether vial, crusade (the turn before) and mirror entity.
in my turn i rean. archangel with animate dead, play sylvan scrying for maze (played), and attack for 9 ( down to 6). he has a 1/1 flying blocker with vial and kitchen finks, but cant dissolve the pressure ( mana leak, maze, and archangel, no single topdeck would have helped), he draws o-ring and concedes (leak).

really exciting games, thank you 

[The_Ocean]

The_Ocean($taxx)vs.derStefan82(BUWG Oath)
I win 2:0

Game 1: He plays a 3rd turn call of the herd and i play a 4th turn Wildfire with loam in hand, the conection seem to be haveing issues, so he conceded.

Game 2: After he finish puting the cards he didn't want on top of his library, he forgat to shuffle them away, and i had the wasteland for his 1st turn LoA, so after he was a bit mana screw a resolved an Ajany Venjant, and later after i resolved a Mindslaver that was it.

He told me that not haveing shuffled the cards he didnt want into the deck was a terrible mistake, and i have to agree, anyways it was 2 ggs, and i enjoyed playing vs derStefan82, and i wish him good luck in the rest of th league.

[Payron]

derStefan82 (Oath) - Payron (Boros Deck Wins)

First game: I had a wierd start with way to much lands Mox diamond Land Tax, Price of Progress and Mutavalt. I startet off with the Mutavault and mox for Land tax. He played first round top and I started beating him with my Mutavault which got protection from my mother of runes. after that I top decked another creater Silver knight. So I had some pressure on the board and a Price which was ready to blast for 4 damage. In the end he was on 9 life I attacked with mother, mutavalt and Knight and had Oath laying on the tabel so i needed to wint his turn. He played Corprotaition to get his Maze out for a basicland he took away a 2/2 beater and recived 3 damage and goes on 6 life. Perfect for my Price of Progress because he had now exactly 3 non basics.

Second Game: I couldn t find any lands for my first 7 cards with spoil mulligan and needed to muk 2 more times to find 1 land and 2 beaters for 1 mana. Well in the end I needed way to long to find a Land and he played Tabernacle right before I topdecked a new one. Infest and oath won in the end the game. Raising a overlord hellkite with 3 mana isn t taht easy

Third Game: I had a solid hand and started off with Figure of destiny, which got pathed in teh next turn in reponse on pump. So i layed a 1/1 flyer. 3rd round tutor for Stefan and next round Oath was hard but I could burn my only critter. he was a bit mana scrwed and I waited for an answer and was afraid of counters to lay down the winning surfial vortex. He tapped out for transmute tolary west for Forbidden Orchid. I could lucky draw into Kami of Ancient Law and and killed his oath and Layed down my Vortex. He tryed pressure with garruk + token, but I could lay down Flickerwisph (on the token) + Ravages of War with land tax on the board. He could stall the game imedently with a tabernacle which killed my Flicker wisph and the token he gave me. I could search for lands but was pretty much flooded before so I didn t had any mountains in my deck anymore so land tax just gave me 2 Plains and layed down isamaru. He killed his own garruk to get a token. in the end he tryed to polymorph his token for the win 50/50 chance to lose or to win because I could play a 2/1 flyer. He got Progenitus onto the battlefield and conceded.

1:2 in the end for me

realy good games.. thx a lot for playing was pretty fun with you

[Vazdru]

derStefan82 (4C-Oath) - Vazdru (Nastabois UR-Swans mutation)

1: I won the roll and started with T1 Island + Ancestral Visions, T2 Wasteland + Coldsteel Heart. Meanwhile he fetched for some basics to avoid getting wasted his manabase. Never seen before Progenitus Staff so i've had to think a while if I let it pass. I decided to Remand it. I've played a signet and awaited Staff again. This time he played Explosives to get rid off heart + signet but I've had Into to Roil to bounce my Signet. When Recall resolved I've got FoW, Condescend, land - enough to launch combo so I've had Demonic + Muddle already in my hand. Staff didn't hit the board again. When I've tried Chain he had Evasive Action but FoW was enough (Turn 6 kill, 15 Min).

2: He had to go down to 6 cards and was screwed afterwards. Alhough he wasted my second land. Fortunately I've todecked Wasteland too and took his last land on board. Short after I went into Trinket Mage beatdown, he had LoA online + Needle for my Dust Bowl. Dimir Aqueduct + Simic Growth Chamber let me build up my manabase quickly and Comulsive Research + FoF gave me enough card avantage to lauch Mindslaver-Combo short after.

0:2

We made a friendly game afterwards and this time he got Oath Online fast enough and won the game. Progenitus is that hard to handle   

Thx for the games!
