Game 1:
I have to mull to six and get flooded and die quickly

Game 2:
Super long game where I establish control under 5 Life points.
I get Loam engine going but have some troubles against Goblin Assault.
After intrance resolves a Wheel of fortune I can resolve Demonic Tutor Demon
for Yawgmoth's Will while holding two counterspells at 7 Life (thx to Natures Claim on my own Top).
I deplete his hand with Hymn plus Duress and finally can win.

G3:
I find and leand an early Oath via Intuiton (with Regrowth in Hand) and Intrance scoops quickly.

intrance (Boros) - Vazdru (RGu-Beatz)

1st: He won the roll, no one-drop but a bolt for my elf. Chain Lightning for his two-mana drop was my answer. I've kept my fetchland till t3 which was a mistake as it was stiffled by Aven Mindcensor which killed me with Grafted Wargear as i can't find an answer in time.

2nd: I started with Kird Ape, Fauna Shaman, he had one-drop critter, Hellspark Elemental and Thunder but his Wheel of Fortune was a mistake as i had an actice fauna shaman for Obstinate Baloth and after the Wheel enough beef + Rancor to bring him down. 

3rd: He had the better draws but i've had Birthing Pod which he couldn't handle in time. End of the story.

Thx for the ggs.

cheiud (UR-AggroControl) - Vazdru (RGu-Beatz)

1st: i rolled 3, he had 1, so i started but found no land in my first seven cards. I've kept Llanowar Elves and took 6 new ones which was giving me Forest+Island and some red cards + Eldric Spymaster and Beast Within. I played Elf, he had Delver, t2 Spymaster, T2 Mountain and go by cheiud. Fortunatly he had no T2 answer for Spymaster which was giving me an extra card which was fortunatly a mountain. T3 he flipped Delver, and had Arc Lightning for Elf + Spymaster. As i've had a moutain i saved spymaster by colossal might and just lost my elf. Spymaster gave me another extracard and i've played Goyf. He had Relic of Progenitus to keep Goyf small. I had Trygon Predator for his Delver and when he played kicked Breatch of Darigaaz i was able to bring Goyf to 4/5 with Beast Within.

2nd: he had Delver T1 again which flipped T2 (Into the Roil), I've had T1 Vial, T2 Lighting for Delver. Unfortunately he was screwed. I had Magus of the Moon + Ram-Gang via Vial and as Koth resolved it was gg.

Thx for the games and sry for screwing up in g2.

16: Nastaboi High Tide vs. peeler Angry Hermit

1st game was totally lame as he mulled to five and I had total control when he started drawing lands. I had combo in hand but opted to just beat down with utility dudes and Orchard tokens.

G2 was more interesting as peeler tried to assemble combo and I kept drawing counters. Eventually he got Hermit Druid to stick but didn't dare to use it as I was presenting counterspells which I had a couple in hand. I had played High Tide last turn just to knock off his Chant I knew about.

So he went beating down with 1/1 dorks equiped with Shuko while I scuplted my hand with Forbidden Alchemy and Teachings. After resolving Treachery for his Hermit I fetched Blue Zenith, drew seven more and went off with Yawgmoth's Will and triple counter backup.

17: Intrance (Boros) vs malz77 (RDW) 0 - 2

Game 1: He's screwed on one land. I killed his Sav. Lion and his Isamaru and attacked with Chandra's Phoenix, Spark Elemental and Slith Firewalker....
Game 2: No hand for him after spoils mulligan, so down to six. He had Cloistered Youth which hit me several times, I had RamGang for the counter attacks. Forked Bolt killed his Porc. Legionaire and Flame Javellin the transformed Youth. Teetering Peaks and Hellspark Elemental for some more damage and he had nothing left but three additional lands on his hand.

Firestarter (Stax) - Peeler (Naya)
2-0

Close Games, had fast hands, he was screwed on white in both games.

[Nastaboi]

19: Nastaboi High Tide vs. CristophO Pattern-Rector

I won the roll and had a stacked hand until he Duressed my Demonic and resolved Birthing Pod. He went rampant with Pod fetching this and that and eventually got another Pod in form of Phyrexian Metamorph. I could only Gigadrowse it in response to him playing another creature. I had EOT Teachings for High Tide. If I drew a land, I could flash back Demonic with Snapcaster, get Palinchron and flashback Teachings for Zenith to stroke him off. I drew Rewind to counter random other spell to give me the same mana I needed.

G2 was lost on his third turn when he had Inquisition to resolve Pod through a counter.

G3 he got no Birthing Pod but Mystic who fetched techy Mortarpod. Primeval Command bounced my land and get him a Rector to equip, and I was forced to try combo from five basic Islands. He sacked Rector-Pod to get Mindcensor, and I had to play Twister, which gave me Treachery and Memory Jar. Jar also yielded nothing, and I passed turn with Top, Palinchron and two other blockers in play. Fortunately, he didn't draw much either, and I found Demonic and Tides went High again. With infty mana I had no difficulties to locate kill with double backup.

2:1 and gg's

[Cadaj]

20:

Cadaj vs. malz77 (Naya vs. UW Control)

Game1:
Both screw at 2 land, when we both hit our third land i can destroy his Ancient Den with my Vithian Renegades and just smash for 6 for 4 turns (Kitchen Finks+Renegades).
He draws a 3rd land but has no solution 1 turn before he dies.

Game2:
He floods after the boards stabalizes for him after some shenanigans in the early game. I resolve a big Tarmogoyf and I have Blood Moon for Kor Haven.
I smash 3 times he is dead...

2:0

Kinda weak draws on both sides, his were very weak and mine "just" weak.

[DarkLight]

WitH-FuLL-Force vs Peeler
4c Aggressive Pile vs UR Aggro-Control
[2 : 0]

1st Game:
Eladamri's Call fetched Thrun, the Last Troll + Rancor won alone


2nd Game:
I started with Dark Confidant in my 1st turn 2 turns later I added Elspeth Knight Errant but he answered with Pithing Needle.
After several rounds I could destroy his Needle with Vithian Renegades fetched by Green Sun Zenith.
At the end I won the game with end of turn flashed Aven Mindcensor and a AEther Vialed Fauna Shaman so he had not enough blockers for my final strike

[peeler]

22:
peeler (boros) 2 vs Malz77 (Dreamhalls) 0

In game one he cant find the Dreamhalls fast enough

In game two he i could screw him out with double artifact removal on his manastones so he stucked on to lands an grim monolith (tapped)

[Syras]

23:

syras (High Tide) vs peeler (Naya) 2:0

G1: He wins the roll and mulligans to 6. For his first play on turn 3 (Burning Tree Shaman) I have Mana Drain. I use the mana to fetch Sapphire Medalion with Fabricate and Fetch High Tide With Merchant Scroll. He plays Wickerbough Elder on his 4th turn but i can go off. I play High Tide and then have exactly 6 mana to fetch Snapcaster Mage with Mystical Teachings, play Snapcaster to flashback High Tide and then Snap the Snapcaster Mage (twice ) which gives me enough mana to start the engines.

G2: He has a strong start with turn1 Noble Hierarch, turn2 Woolly Thoctar, Turn 3 Stoneforge Mystic fetching Sword of Feast and Famine. I play turn1 Personal Tutor which gets me Merchant Scroll. Turn2 I just play Preordain. Turn3 I play Nightscape Familiar and fetch High Tide with Merchant Scroll. On his 4th turn he hits me down to 4 and plays Qasali Pridemage with 2 mana open. I play Gitaxian Probe (going to 2) and draw Time Spiral which gives me the chance to go off. He uses his Pridemage to destroy my Candelabra and the Time Spiral draws him into Burst Lightning but I drew Pact of Negation and enough business so he scoops.

[ChristophO]

24: ChristophO (Pattern rector) vs cadaj (midrange Bant mit R Splash)

G1:
I have an early Sylvan Library and draw 2 extra cards. cadaj struggles to keep up on board. When he taps out to copy Kitchen Finks I respond with NO for Priemeval Titan. He concedes next turn.

G2:
We are both a bit flooded. He has double Baneslayer Angel (one metapmorphed) but I keep up with a Batterskull. When he gets low on cards I resolve Academy Rector and assemble combo.

[Tabris]

Tabris (UBG Oath)  2  vs 1   (MonoG Aggro) Malzz77

G1: He is manascrew and I´ve got enough bounce/counter for his mana dudes. Finaly a Karn finish the game.

G2: He was screwed again but was eventually able to resolve a Thrun which killed my Liliana of the Veil (she ate a Fyndhorn Elf before) and killed me shortly after that. (I had three counterspells on my hand)

G3: Very intense game. I was on one life for a long long time but with consume the meek + 1000 times darkblast I was able to stabilize and resolve a Sorin + Jace.

26:

ChristophO (Perfect Storm) vs Malz77 (Bant)

Game 1: First action was Stifle on his fetchland followed up by an early Qasali Pridemage and Gaddock Teeg. After some points of damage Pridemage took out an ManaArtifact. Thrun and Gaddock Teeg made the dirty job, since his Firespout killed everything but Thrun. Then he comboed and had Tendrils for 16 damage while I was on 15. But then we figured out that in the very long combo turn two land entered the table, so it was 1-0 for me

Game 2: Via Eternal Witness I had double Wasteland for the Invasion 2 Mana Lands, and Wickerbough Elder for an Mana Artifact. With only 2 Lands left, an Odyssey Egg and Senseis Diving Top he mangaged to kill me via Helm of Awakeining, multiple Rituals, Yawgmoths Will and Tendrils. 1-1

Game 3: His Inquisiton of Kozilek took my Scavening Ooze and I had Daze, Stifle, Creatures and Land left. Daze countered Mana Artifact and started to bash him with Wilt Leaf Cavaliers for 4 because of Noble Hierarch. He tutored with Grim Tutor and Oath of Druids came down. In my last combat I could kill him exactly with Mish. Factory, Cavaliers and Stirring Wildwood but he had one Red Mana open and I was afraid of Lightning Bolt which could be a decent include in perfect Storm. So I just attacked with Cavalliers and had the mana open to Stifle his oath trigger. In his upkeep he had mana drain for Stifle and milled his hole Bib but now short on mana. Memorys Journey put back Dark Ritual and Manamorphose. Now he had a fifty fifty chance to win if he would drew the Manamorphose... but Dark Ritual was the draw. 2-1 for me

Great and exciting games!
