Group A:
Monopoman vs Scherbchen AI:
Game 1: Jace draws me cards, including some Baneslayers. The first one is hit with
Condemn, but BA#2 and #3 come down. AI stalls on the ground with *four* Ajani Pridemate, 2 honor of the pure, and
Ajani Goldmane, but my BAs both have
Sword of Vengeance. AI stalls a remarkably long time by playing a couple Goldenglow Moths, but I win. 1-0
Game 2:
Scroll Thief is Condemned, and nobody casts anything for a couple turns. I have plenty of control, though, and counter two serra angels with Mana Leaks and condemn a couple guys. Then
Sun Titan comes down and roflstomps. Damn that's a good card. 2-0
Monopoman vs Jatill titans AI:
Game 1: Mull crap hand to 6. I put put Jace and then
Crystal Ball. AI isn't doing anything but
Cultivate twice. BA hits the table, and AI uses
Destructive Force. AI is also discarding when I use the +2 ability of Jace because its mana curve is some astronomical number requiring scientific notation to measure :p
Crystal Ball finds me new lands with ease, and I mill with Jace once.
Acidic Slime smashes a land, attacks Jace, and AI tries to play
Inferno Titan, but I manaleak it.
Aether Adept bounces an elf that's just been sitting there, and AI plays a second slime, killing Jace (lol). I play a second Jace and just stall, using +2 ability and
Crystal Ball. I'm just stalling; AI's library is almost gone. It Cultivates, shrinking it even more. Then it plays
Primeval Titan, but it can't find any basics left in the 8 cards remaining :p I wipe the board with Day of Judgement and laugh. AI down to 5 card library and nothing in play but 10 lands. I still haven't done a point of damage! Jace then mills the rest of AIs library away and I win, life totals 20-20. 1-0
Game 2: AI gets out Garruk;
Aether Adept kills the first beast. I topdeck another one, kill the second beast, and attack garruk to kill it.
Brittle Effigy wipes
Primeval Titan and I swing for 4, but AI manages
Destructive Force. Doh. AI draws lands and another garruk; I draw lots of unusable spells and get run over. 1-1
Game 3: Mulled a one land hand to 6. AI plays lots of mana dudes, then Garruk. I condemn two beasts, since I'm missing the second blue mana for my two adepts in hand
AI taps out for
Acidic Slime; I mana leak it, and attack garruk with scroll thief to kill it. I get a second scroll thief, hit AI with both next turn, get my second blue, and then
Destructive Force hits. Geez. Fortunately I topdeck mostly lands this time, and Adepts soften AI up for Baneslayers to finish it; AI does nothing but an Elf and Birds, both of which adepts bounce, and AI never recasts. 2-1
Scherbchen vs Monopoman AI:
Game 1: mull to 6 (only had 1 land) Turn 1 serra ascendant, turn 2 ajani pridemate, attack with serra. Turn 3 swing for 4; AI just has
Brittle Effigy. Turn 4
Ajani Goldmane, pump, swing, but AI condemns the pridemate, so I just deal 2. Life 29-13
AI misses its 4th land drop, and does nothing. Ajani gains me 2 life and I cast another
Serra Ascendant. AI does nothing again and I attack for the win, even though AI condemns one SA, the other one alone is enough. 1-0
Game 2: 7-hand has 1 land; mulled. 6-hand has 0 land; mulled. 5-hand has 0 land; mulled. wtf? 4-hand has 3 plains and Ajani's Mantle. This is gonna be rough. AI gets an effigy, then an adept bounces my ascendant, but I just replay it. AI attacks and effigies my ascendant. I could condemn the adept (my only card in hand) but I'm afraid of baneslayer, and the mantle will keep me going awhile, so I take the hit. I get a pridemate, then another condemn, and AI gets Baneslayer; condemned. A second adept bounces my pridemate; I draw an ascendant and cast both. A 3rd adept bounes him again, but ai did it postcombat so I don't take 4. AI plays brittle effigy and jace. I draw a Moth, and pridemate doesn't get a counter from the mantle this turn. It gets hit with the effigy anyway, so it doesn't matter. 3 adepts attack; I condemn one, chump with the moth on another. I attack jace, but don't gain 1 life from lifelink. (bug? or is this the rule for planeswalkers?) AI attacks, then gets Baneslayer; I get pridemate. This time pridemate does get a counter, and I topdeck
Condemn. Yay! BA takes it in the ass. Then I just sit back watching my mantle and pridemate grow, while AI gets scroll thief. I get another mantle. When pridemate gets to 7/7 he attacks and gets condemned. But that's enough life to pump my ascendant, so I'm still in great shape. The ascendant swings once before AI gets Day of Judgement (42-31 life) but I topdeck another ascendant. Loving the topdecks this game. I swing once, then my jaw hits the floor when AI *discards* a Day of Judgement down to 7 in hand. I swing again and play a topdecked baneslayer. Next turn it throws away a sun titan; I swing for 11. I attack again and win with 84 life. 2-0
Scherbchen vs jatill titans AI:
Game 1: Turn 2 Pridemate, swing for 2, turn 4
Ajani Goldmane, gain 2 life, swing for 3. AI cultivates. I gain 2 life, play BA, and swing for 4. AI plays garruk but doesn't activate it. I pump my creatures and swing for 11, and that's game. 1-0
Game 2: Turn 1
Birds of Paradise,
Goldenglow Moth. Turn 2
Cultivate, Ajani Pridemate. Turn 3
Cultivate again, play and use
Elixir of Immortality, swing for 3. Turn 4
Destructive Force, but I still have 2 plains in hand, and topdeck another. 3 turns of land-go on both sides. Turn 8
Llanowar Elves,
Ajani Goldmane. Turn 9 Garruk (beast), Baneslayer. Turn 10
Acidic Slime;
Honor of the Pure,
Serra Ascendant, and make an avatar token. Wooo! My avatar looks like a
Prosperity, but who cares? It's HUGE. When BA hits, my ascendant grows, and next turn my flyers swing for 13. 2-0
Jatill titans vs Monopoman AI:
Game 1: Turn 1 birds, turn 2
Cultivate. Turn 3 I try to
Acidic Slime a land, but AI manaleaks it, then taps out to play
Scroll Thief. Turn 4 I play
Inferno Titan and smash the thief; AI bounces titan with
Aether Adept. Turn 6 I replay the Titan and smash adept; AI plays Baneslayer. Turn 7
Inferno Titan swings, I pump twice and deal a total of 11;
Mystifying Maze exiles BA, and AI plays another one. Turn 8 Titan swings (AI to 5) and AI has to chump with BA, then I play a second
Inferno Titan and an elf; AI plays scroll thief. Turn 9 I attack and win. 1-0
Game 2: Opening hand is 6 land + birds. Hmm, lol. The mana curve is so high I think I'll actually keep this, though. Turn 4 I play
Acidic Slime, destroying the
Crystal Ball AI just put out. AI bounces it with an Adept (thanks!) so I replay it and smash land and put down an elf. Day of Judgement wipes the board. AI gets Jace; I get garruk. AI plays Scroll thief and
Sword of Vengeance; my beast kills jace. AI drops BA, so I drop my
Destructive Force; I have 4 land left, AI has 1, and I have garruk. Looks good. Garruk goes the distance, making a beast every 2 turns (so I don't lose garruk) and AI never casts a spell again. 2-0
Jatill Titans vs Scherbchen:
Game 1: First hand 5 lands and 2
Inferno Titans. A hand like this worked last game, but scherbchen's deck is much faster, so I decide to mull. I get 3 forest, slime, primeval titan, destructive force. Okay, I'll keep, but I don't have to like it! AI plays 3 elixir of immortality and a moth on its first 4 turns, even though it has only a single plains for mana. On turn 5 I cast my first spell;
Acidic Slime, and destroy that one plains. LOL. Turn 6 I topdeck and play
Primeval Titan, swing for 2. AI gets a plains and a second moth out I topdeck another
Primeval Titan and swing; AI chumps slime with moth. AI plays an ascendant. I topdeck my third
Primeval Titan in a row, swing, AI chumps with moth and ascendant, and is at 1 life. I have 22 lands in play. I swing for 20 and pull my last 4 basics into play. 1-0
Game 2: Elf, Birds,
Inferno Titan, Slime, lands. Keeper for sure. Turn 1 elf; AI plays ascendant. Turn 2 birds; AI attacks with ascendant, which is not a usual AI play; I trade with the elf. Turn 3 land; AI plays and uses an Elixir. Turn 4 slime smashes plains; AI plays pridemate. Turn 5 I topdeck a land and play
Inferno Titan, kill pridemate, and swing for 2; AI does nothing. Turn 5 I
Cultivate for mountains, tap all red for the titan, and attack; AI condemns the titan. 26-18; AI does nothing. Turn 6 I draw
Primeval Titan, swing for 2; AI hits a 4th land drop but still does nothing. I topdeck slime, play it, cultivate, and swing for 8; AI does nothing and I swing for 10 next turn and win. 2-0
(I didn't record any videos since nobody asked for them in the last tournament, so I didn't bother this time to save me effort)
