Round 2 Results
2 Points for everybody!
Monopoman vs. Cognis AI 2-0
Game 1: I burn away some chumps and Propaganda keeps Rorix at home for a turn. Meanwhile I get an arsenal of flyers as well as my own general, start attacking and eat the AI's hand for breakfast. Soon I draw Ob Nixilis while I'm holding 3 fetchlands! The AI ends up taking 21+ points of general damage because its too fond of Rorix and doesn't block with him!
Game 2: I completely dominate this game because the AI sacs 2 mountains on turn 4 to Fireblast me. The Sol Ring leading to a turn 4 Sphinx of Jwar Isle helped too!
Cognis vs Monopoman AI 2-0
Game 1: I get stuck on 3 land while the AI is stuck with 2 and a Sol Ring. My hand has cheaper stuff though, I end the game with a 9/9 Rockslide Elemental after controlling the board with Goblin Sharpshooter and Vulshok Sorcerer.
Game 2: Plenty of land for both of us this time. Inferno Titan stares off against Grave Titan for a turn. Rorix hits the board, then the AI plays Palinchron and untaps 3 of my lands! I burn it away and continue attacking. Things take a turn for the worst when the AI removes my titan and Nicol Bolas hits the table. I draw Gauntlet of Might, and next turn cast Elemental Appeal with kicker, Flame Javelin, and activate Goblin Charbelcher for 8 damage bringing the AI to -1!
Nicdanger vs Jatill AI 2-0
Game 1: My turn 2 Arbiter is answered with StP. AI plays Ajani's Pridemate, Loxodon Gatekeeper, and its general. I recast Arbiter, then Meloku and Ajani thanks to the reduced mana cost. At this point I have 2 very nasty things going; Strip Mine + Crucible, and Ajani + Meloku. I make 4 Illusions right away and pump them, 3 turns later the game is over.
Game 2: The AI gets some quick beats in with soldiers and Honor of the Pure. I'm a bit hosed with only 1 white mana, but thankfully the AI doesn't answer my general right away and I cast Keiga on turn 5 while it gets stuck on 3 land. I finally get my 2nd white mana, copy my own Slith Ascendant, and start spamming Capsize on the AI's stuff. The AI never recovers.
Jatill vs Nicdanger AI 2-0
Game 1: My opening hand looks good, I can go Abu Ja'far > Raise the Alarm > Glorious Anthem > Kongming . . but one of my lands gets hit with Strip Mine before I can cast my general. Also my 4th land was a Kjeldoran Outpost, so I'm effectively stuck at 2 mana. I Skullclamp a soldier and swing into the AI's Augury Adept, still no mana! Finally I draw another plains when both my soldiers are gone and continue to attack with Abu! The AI finally draws its 4th land but I answer Arbiter with Oblivion Ring right away. Right of Replication answers my Kongming but Abu continues the assault! I drop the AI to 7 with the addition of a Kor Firewalker and Ajani when it casts an Exalted Angel. I force the AI to block and it finds an answer in Nevinyrral's Dist one turn too late. What a game . . Abu Ja'far wins!!!
Game 2 : An early Wasteland hurts the AI and early beats bring it down to 9 before its able to stabalize thanks to dual knights and an Intrepid hero (damn my buffed creatures)! Soon I draw into Conquerer's Pledge, recast Kongming and swing with a bunch of buffed soldier tokens.
