Group B:
shantak vs aww AI:

Turn 1: AI swamp, Stone-Throwing Devils. Draw Serendib Efreet, play Island and Flying Men.

Turn 4: AI plays swamp, Cuombajj Witches. I draw swamp, play swamp, swing for 4 in the air and cast Serendib Djinn. (I could see arguments for the efreet or oublietting the witch, but I have 4 land in play + 1 in hand, 3 of which are nonisland, and if ai uses the witch, I can kill a devils, too)

Turn 3: Draw flying men. Swing for 1. Play swamp, serendib efreet, taking 1 from City; AI powersinks efreet. AI plays Island.

Turn 5: Draw Island. Play Island, Serendib Djinn, taking 1 from City. Queen swings for 1. AI plays swamp, control magic on S-Djinn, swings for 3. (keeping queen untapped would have only stopped 1 damage, so the queen attacking was the right choice)
Turn 6: Draw Unstable Mutation. Cast Flying Men. I now have to decide whether to cast unstable mutation on them or not. Queen can handle Djinn nicely, so I think I will cast UM on the Men, so they will deter the stolen Men. Take 1 from City doing this. AI sacs swamp, attacks with Djinn. Queen makes it 0/2 and I block with Flying Men to kill it.

Turn 8: Draw and play Serendib Efreet. Attack with Flying Men for 2; AI takes the hit. (Queen would make Mahamoti 0/2 if it blocked) UM kills AIs Flying Men. Mahamoti attacks; Queen makes it 0/2 and efreet blocks to kill it. AI plays Island and Hypnotic Specter.
Turn 9: Take 1 from efreet. Draw and play island. Efreet swings for 3. AI plays swamp.

Turn 3: Draw Old Man. Attack for 1. AI plays Dark Ritual, Hypnotic Specter, but no land drop.

Turn 5: Draw island. Play island, Serendib Efreet. (not Djinn; I can't spare the lands) Swing for 1. AI plays swamp.

(i was hoping for a hippie to steal and chump with) 0-1 (very close, could've had AI at 1 if Old Man had also attacked. Might've been different if I hadn't played UM on turn 2, but I don't feel like working it out to see)
Game 2: Old Man, 2x devils, mutation, 3x swamp. Ugh. Did I ever mention that I hate basic lands with a passion? Mulligan into Old Man, Flying Men, Witches, Oubliette, Island, Swamp. Keep.

Turn 7: Draw and play island. Play Oubliette on Mahamoti. AI untaps old man and takes devils again, then plays Sengir Vampire.

Jatill Cheerios vs aww AI:
Game 1: Control Magic, Mahamoti, 2x power sink, Braingeyser, swamp, U-Sea. Ugh, hard choice whether to mulligan or not. Two power sink can stall a bit, so I'll keep it. (I'm hoping jatill would've done the same, or I may have some explaining to do if I lose this one!)
Turn 1: Play U-Sea. AI plays swamp.
Turn 2: Draw and play Island. AI plays island, Erg Raiders, which I power Sink.
Turn 3: Draw control magic, play swamp. AI plays swamp, Cuombajj Witches. I'm not sure if I should powersink that or not. I let it resolve, since it's mostly harmless against this deck. AI then casts Flying Men; I let that resolve, too.
Turn 4: Draw Dark Ritual. Play Dark Ritual, Braingeyser myself for 3. (hypnotic specter, mahamoti djinn, island) Play island. AI plays island, attacks for 2, plays Juzam Djinn.
Turn 5: Draw Braingeyser. Play Control Magic on Juzam. AI plays oubliette on juzam, attacks for 2, plays Erg Raiders.
Turn 6: Draw Braingeyser. Play Hypnotic Specter. (Could've done Control Magic or Braingeyser for 2, but I think this is best) Erg Raiders swing for 2. AI casts Juzam, then activates witches to do 1 damage to me; I do 1 damage to flying men.
Turn 7: Draw Dark Ritual. Play Control Magic on Juzam. Hypno swings for 2 (discards Cuombajj Witches, the only card it had) Witches do 1 damage to each of us; erg raiders attack into my juzam. AI plays Old Man of the Sea.
Turn 8: I take 1 from Juzam. Draw and play swamp. Attack for 7. Play Dark Ritual and Mahamoti. AI witches do 1 damage to each of us; Old Man steals Hypno, and AI plays Flying Men.
Turn 9: Take 1 from Juzam. Draw Counterspell. Attack with both djinns; Flying Men chump one. I could braingeyser, but I hold back for counter mana. AI swings for 3 (discard Counterspell)
Turn 10: take 1 from juzam. Draw and play island, swing for 10 and win. 1-0
Game 2: 2x terror, 2x mahamoti, 2x swamp, counterspell. Weird hand, and its playability is a gamble, as I have no blue mana yet, and if AI gets black creatures, I'm in trouble, so I mulligan. I get 3x swamp, terror, sengir, mahamoti, which is even worse. I don't think I can get much better going to 5, though. Sorry
Turn 1: AI plays swamp. I draw Hypno, play swamp.
Turn 2: AI plays swamp. I draw and play swamp.
Turn 3: AI plays island. I draw Control Magic, play swamp, play Hypno.
Turn 4: AI plays island, Juzam Djinn. I draw and play island. I have BBBU, and can't terror or control magic I attack with hypno. (discard island)
Turn 5: AI takes 1 from juzam, attacks for 5, plays another Juzam. I draw control magic. Play swamp and Sengir Vampire. I don't attack.
Turn 6: AI takes 2 from juzams, plays Oubliette on Sengir (ow!) and attacks with both Juzams. I chump one with Hypno and take 5. AI plays erg raiders. I draw and play swamp.
Turn 7: AI plays swamp and swings for 12, and I'm dead. 1-1 (With nothing but black creatures, keeping the other hand would've been even worse, since at least this way I got a sengir out; in the 7 card hand I'd never have cast any of those spells)
Game 3: 2x counterspell, 2x terror, sengir, swamp, U-sea. Keep, hoping to draw an island.
Turn 1: Play U-sea. AI plays swamp.
Turn 2: Draw Braingeyser, play swamp. AI plays swamp, Cuombajj Witches.
Turn 3: Draw braingeyser. AI plays Island, attacks for 1, plays Serendib Efreet; I terror it.
Turn 4: Draw control magic. AI plays island, attacks for 1, plays Juzam Djinn.
Turn 5: Draw and discard Mahamoti Djinn. (8 cards) AI takes 1 from juzam, plays swamp, swings for 6, plays Old Man of the Sea and Erg Raiders. I terror Old Man.
Turn 6: Draw braingeyser. AI takes 1 from juzam, swings for 8, plays another Juzam.
Turn 7: Draw power sink. Discard braingeyser (8 cards) AI takes 2 from juzams and swings for 13 and I'm dead. 1-2

In the two games I lost against my own deck, I made no play mistakes (there was nowhere to make a mistake) but my mulligan choices may have been questionable. In game 2, I couldn't have won with the first hand, so the only way I could've had a chance was to mull to 5, and that would've been hard even with 5 good cards. In game 3, I thought it was an okay hand, though certainly not great, but I didn't draw any land all game. I feel rather bad about it, but I did my best, and just had bad luck in games 2 and 3.

Group C:

stroggoi vs juzamjedi AI:
Game 1: Growth Spasm, Pelakka Wurm, Awakening Zone, All is Dust, Eldrazi Conscription, 2x Forest. I'd like to have another land or two, but this looks about typical for the deck will draw, so I'll keep it.
Turn 1: Play forest. AI plays swamp, Vampire Lacerator.
Turn 2: Draw Emrakul, play forest. AI takes 1 from VL, plays swamp, Gatekeeper of Malakir, and swings for 2.
Turn 3: Draw and play Forest and Awakening Zone. (not wanting to thin my deck of land just yet) AI loses 1 to VL, swings for 4, and plays another Gatekeeper, kicking it even though I have no creatures.
Turn 4: Get spawn. Draw Broodwarden. Play Growth Spasm, get another spawn. AI loses 1 to VL, plays swamp and swings for 6; I don't block. 8-17 life.
Turn 5: Get spawn. Draw Kozilek's Predator. I have a ton of options right now and I spent awhile thinking. (pelakka, all is dust, broodwarden, predator) I sac the new spawn to play Broodwarden and swing for 4. It's a huge mistake. AI plays swamp, Malakir Bloodwitch (for 4) and attacks with 3 2/2s, and I can only block one. 0-1 (I'm really sorry about that one; I didn't expect that, though I should have. Had I played the predator, I could have blocked and survived to cast All is Dust, resetting the board, and buying at least a chance, though things were looking bad even if I'd played better there)
Game 2: Awakening Zone, Pelakka Wurm, 5x forest. Loving all that land; I keep it.
Turn 1: Play forest. AI plays swamp, Vampire Lacerator.
Turn 2: Draw and play forest. AI takes 1, plays swamp, Gatekeeper, swings for 2. (deja vu so far)
Turn 3: Draw and play Eldrazi Temple, cast Awakening Zone. AI takes 1, casts Vampire Hexmage, and swings for 4.
Turn 4: Get spawn. Draw All is Dust, play Forest. AI takes 1, and swings for 6; I don't block.
Turn 5: Get spawn. Draw and play Eldrazi Temple. I could cast Pelakka Wurm (if I sac my tokens) but I play All is Dust instead. AI cast nothing last turn and did not play a land, so I think it's better than saccing tokens to play Pelakka Wurm, and I can do that next turn anyway. AI plays swamp and kicks Gatekeeper of Malakir; I sac a token.
Turn 6: Draw Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre. Play forest. Sac token and cast Pelakka Wurm, gaining 7 life. AI plays Grim Discovery on the gatekeeper and casts the gatekeeper unkicked.
Turn 7: Draw Growth Spasm. Play forest, growth spasm, getting forest and spawn. Attack for 7. AI plays marsh flats, fetches swamp, attacks for 4, and casts Vampire Hexmage.
Turn 8: Draw Broodwarden. Play Forest, cast Ulamog (killing hexmage) Swing for 7. AI plays Malakir Bloodwitch. (Life total now 8-5)
Turn 9: Draw forest, cast Broodwarden. Attack with Ulamog, Pelakka and 2/2 token. (if bloodwitch blocks token, pelakka wins with trample, so this is the correct attack) AI sacs 2 swamps, gatekeeper and bloodwitch to annihilate, chumps ulamog, and takes 9. 1-1 (obviously AI could've lasted another turn, but it still would've lost)
Game 3: 2x broodwarden, pelakka, all is dust, nest invader, kozilek's predator, and one lone forest. MULLIGAN :p I get 2x forest, 2x pelakka, 2x growth spasm. Not bad. I keep that.
Turn 1: Play forest. AI plays swamp,Vampire Lacerator.
Turn 2: Draw Eldrazi Conscription, play forest. AI takes 1, plays marsh flats, attacks, fetches swamp, and I take 2.
Turn 3: Draw forest! Play forest, Growth Spasm. AI plays marsh flats, attacks, and fetches swamp; I take 2. AI casts Vampire Nighthawk
Turn 4: Draw and play Eldrazi Temple! Play Growth Spasm. AI takes 1, plays swamp and a kicked Gatekeeper, swings for 4 (gaining 2)
Turn 5: Draw Awakening Zone. Sac spawn to cast Pelakka Wurm, gaining 7. AI takes 1, and casts a kicked Gatekeeper. I sac Pelakka (drawing Ulamog's Crusher). AI swings for 4.
Turn 6: Draw Emrakul. Cast Awakening Zone. AI takes 1, swings for 8 (gaining 2) and casts Vampire Nighthawk.
Turn 7: Draw and play Forest. Cast Pelakka Wurm, gaining 7. (12-19 life) AI takes 1, plays swamp, Malakir Bloodwitch (6-24 life) and attacks with everything. I block 2 creatures but I take 6 and I'm at 0. 1-2 (only thing I could've done differently would be on turn 5 to play Awakening Zone instead of Pelakka, but I think I still lose in that scenario, as AI can still swing with lifelinked Nighthawks)

Stroggoi vs Brandon AI:
Game 1: 2x Pelakka Wurm, Ulamog's Crusher, Artisan of Kozilek, Eldrazi Conscription, Awakening zone, Eldrazi Temple. Not a chance in hell; mulliganed. Nest Invader, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Eldrazi Conscription, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, 2x forest. I'll keep that.
Turn 1: Play forest. AI plays mountain.
Turn 2: Draw and play forest, play Nest Invader. AI plays Plains, Dragon Fodder.
Turn 3: Draw and play forest. I could attack and trade, but I decide not to; I might need a target for E-Conscription. AI plays plains and Oblivion Ring on Nest Invader, and swings for 2.
Turn 4: Draw and play forest. AI plays plains, Sigiled Paladin and swings for 2.
Turn 5: Draw and play Forest. AI plays Oblivion Ring on my Spawn, and attacks for 4.
Turn 6: Draw and play Forest. AI plays plains, Ajani Vengeant, activates the 2nd ability to deal 3 damage to me, and attacks for 4.
Turn 7: Draw and play Forest. AI plays plains, swings for 4. Draw Emrakul, play Forest. My only castable spell is Eldrazi Conscription, and I have no creatures; myother cards in hand are emrakul, ulamog, and kozilek; AI wins. 0-1
Game 2: Broodwarden, 2x Kozilek's Predator, Growth Spasm, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, 2x Forest. Keep.
Turn 1: Play forest. AI Plays mountain.
Turn 2: Drawn Broodwarden, play forest. AI plays mountain.
Turn 3: Draw All is Dust. AI plays plains.
Turn 4: Draw Awakening Zone. Discard Kozilek (8 cards) AI plays mountain.
Turn 5: Draw Broodwarden. Discard Broodwarden. (8 cards) AI stupidly plays Oblivion Ring, even though the board is empty.
Turn 6: Draw Forest! Play Growth Spasm. AI plays plains and Knight of the White Orchid
Turn 7: Draw Forest! I have choices between broodwarden, kozilek's predator, and awakening zone. I go with the predator. AI plays Oblivion Ring on the Predator, and attacks for 2.
Turn 8: Draw Kozilek's Predator. Play Broodwarden, and attack for 6 with 2/2 tokens. AI plays Ajani Vengeant, Knight of the White Orchid, and vengeant activates helix to kill a spawn.
Turn 9: Draw Awakening Zone. Play Broodwarden. AI plays Bull Cerodon.
Turn 10: Draw Emrakul. Cast Awakening Zone. AI plays Sigiled Paladin, Akrasan Squire, and 'locks down' my untapped broodwarden with ajani.
Turn 11: Draw Growth Spasm. Play Awakening Zone. I'm just going to sit here until I get an army; there's nothing AI can do, but it might take awhile to win. AI plays Sigiled Paladin.
Turn 12: Draw and play Eldrazi Temple. Cast Kozilek's Predator. AI does nothing.
Turn 13: Draw Eldrazi Conscription. I have 10 attackers (2 spawn with sickness) and AI has 6 blockers, so I could do 14 damage at a minimum; AI has 17 life, so I won't make the kill. However, if I sac a bunch of spawns, I can hardcast Emrakul, which I do. I get my extra turn, cast Eldrazi Conscription on Broodwarden (due to the emrakul approximation) and attack with the uber Broodwarden and Emrakul. The game crashes at this point, but I would've won no matter what the AI did. 1-1
Game 3: Growth Spasm, Kozilek's Predator, Nest Invader, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, 2x forest, Eldrazi Temple. I like! Keep.
Turn 1: Play forest. AI plays plains.
Turn 2: Draw Awakening Zone. Play forest, Nest Invader. AI plays plains, Sigiled Paladin.
Turn 3: Draw Forest, play Eldrazi Temple and Awakening Zone. AI Plays mountain, Knight of the White Orchid, and swings for 3 (exalted).
Turn 4: Draw and play Forest, cast Kozilek's Predator. AI plays plains, Dragon Fodden, Akrasan Squire.
Turn 5: Draw and play Forest. Sac all spawn to cast Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, destroying Sigiled Paladin. Attack with Kozilek's Predator, AI takes the 3 damage. AI plays mountain and Oblivion Ring on Ulamog. Damn!
Turn 6: Draw Kozilek, Butcher of Truth. Play Forest, Growth Spasm. AI plays Battlegrace Angel.
Turn 7: Draw Artisan of Kozilek. Sac 3 spawn, cast the Butcher. (draws Nest Invader and 3x Forest) Play one of those forests. AI plays Bull Cerodon and swings with double-exalted 6/6 Battlegrace Angel.
Turn 8: Draw and play Forest. Attack with Butcher (AI sacs 2 plains, knight of the white orchid, and a goblin token) AI takes the 12. I cast Artisan of Kozilek (nothing to Resurrect, though) AI plays Knight of the White Orchid (fetching Plains) and attacks with a 6/6 Battlegrace Angel again. (5-17 life)
Turn 9: Draw and play Eldrazi Temple. Cast Nest Invader. I can only survive if AI screws up annihilator sacrifices, and sacs the Battlegrace Angel it can win with next turn. I attack with Butcher, Artisan, and a Nest Invader and Kozilek's Predator, not because it's smart, but because I'm hoping it will confuse AI into screwing up. AI sacs 2x plains, mountain, Battlegrace Angel, Knight of the White Orchid, and the Oblivion Ring that was on Ulamog. Akrasan Squire and goblin token chump the two eldrazi, and Bull Cerodon kills the predator, and the nest invader hits for 2. AI casts Akrasan Squire.

IE crapped out and I lost the play-by-play. However, here are my results for group D: (which fortunately were in notepad )

jatill landho vs salbei AI: 2-0 (Jatill landho +2)
jatill landho vs cognis AI: 2-1 (Jatill landho +1)
salbei vs jatill landho AI: 2-0 (salbei +2)
salbei vs cognis AI: 1-2 (cognis +3)
cognis vs jatill landho AI: 2-0 (cognis +2)
cognis vs salbei AI: 2-0 (cognis +2)

Cognis +7
Jatill +3
Salbei +2

As jatill: Wins mostly came from early Plated Geopedes and landfall, with help from baloths and terras stompers in some games.

As salbei: Wins came from various sources, the most spectacular of which was the win against cognis where I got two 16/3 spitfires on the last turn. Johnny was happy.

As cognis: Wins came from being twice as fast with weenies. The games were so fast I don't think I ever got out a baneslayer or titan.

Bracket Gamma: juzamjedu vs aww
Bracket Delta: cognis vs monopman

[jatill]

AA:
jatill (2-1) vs jatill3
Game 1: Turn 5 Inferno Titan, turn 6 DF. Academic.
Game 2: Kept an all-ramp hand, and never drew a non-ramp card in 13 turns. Bad beats.
Game 3: Garruk keeps me alive and Slimes mana screw the opponent

jatill3 (2-0) vs jatill
Game 1: Mulligan. Turn 4 Terra Stomper holds off the beats long enough for double Lavaball Trap to clean up.
Game 2: Triple Primeval Titan has me on the ropes, but a pair of Lavaball Traps resets the board. I immediately topdeck Terra Stomper and finish with it.

BB:
jatill2 (2-0) vs brandon
Game 1: We both have great hands, but my cards trump their.
Game 2: I almost lost when my first creature (turn 4 Mahamoti) was sent to Oblivion. I landed another just on time on turn 6, and chained Braingeysers for the win.

brandon (2-0) vs jatill2
Game 1: AI chooses not to Power Sink a turn 4 Elspeth (I checked after the game ended), and my exalted jumped Paladin attacked for 20.
Game 2: I have the perfect curve of Squire -> Paladin -> Knight -> Battlegrace and the AI doesn't draw enough to stop me.

CC:
juzamjedi (2-1) vs aww
Game 1: I have 5 creatures in play on turn 4. The AI has 1 land.
Game 2: I keep 5 land + Mind Sludge + Bloodwitch. I thought the deck would bail me out, but I drew only land uintil I died.
Game 3: Despite cast creatures turn 1-3 followed by 3 Gatekeepers (kicked), I would have lost this game if the AI didn't active Witches 3 times when it was at 3 life... Old Man of the Sea of such a beating in this matchup.

aww (2-0) vs juzamjedi
Game 1: I draw and play the nigh-unstoppable Sorceress Queen, and kill the AI before my Djinns kill me.
Game 2: I have turn 2 and 3 Witches to stop the early attack, and I manage to have the Oubliette in time to stop the AI's Bloodwitch.

DD:
cognis (2-0) vs monopman
Game 1: I mulligan into guys + Ajani, and Ai never gets past 3 lands.
Game 2: I mull into Ajani again, but no guys until my turn 6 Sun Titan. It gets wrathed so I make a 27/27 Avatar (keeping Ajani Alive still). AI has condemn. I am under no pressure, but AI does have Scroll Thief going now. Vengeful Archon also meets a Condemn, so I follow up with Palace Guard. AI taps out to Sun Titan returning Jace (not bad...), so I double Armored Ascension and attack for 19/20. Of course then the AI has Condemn #3. Finally, Squadron Hawk shows up and finishes it.

monopman (2-0) vs Cognis
Game 1: Turn 3 Scroll Thief draws a card every single turn while the AI is never able to keep a creature in play thanks to bounce and counters.
Game 2: Ai's first 4 plays are 4 Squardon Hawk, which is surprisingly effective. I go to 5 and am force to Wrath. The AI reloads, and my 2 Condemn aren't enough to save me. I rip.... Jace. Draw a card... Wrath! Woot. It was easy to come back from there.

[Cognis]

Match 1 (Jatill Land-Ho AI)
Game 1: I overran the AI with Inferno Titan. AI played Plated Geopede and nothing else.
Game 2: I was mana flooded and hard pressed by 2 Plated Geopede but 3 Garruk Wildspeaker helped me stall for Destructive Force. After that I controlled the board and won easily.

Match 2 (Jatill Titans AI)
Game 1: Had to mulligan since I didn’t have red mana for 2 Plated Geopede. AI had a fast hand and overrun me with titans in no time.
Game 2: This time I had a faster hand but the AI was too good. In the end Inferno Titan finished me off.

Jatill Cheerios: 2 points

Match 1 (Brandon AI)
Game 1: I had to mulligan a one land hand into a turn 1 Hypnotic Specter. I play another one and decimate the AI’s hand. I also play 2 Control Magic for a comfortable victory.
Game 2: I had to mulligan into Swamp and blue cards so I had a slow start. AI overwhelmed me but the AI started to save it’s creatures and not attacking when I was at 2. I stalled and eventually took the win.

Match 1 (Aww1979 AI)

Monopman vs Cognis 2-0

Cognis: 2 points
Monopman: 2 points

Match 1 (Monopman AI)
Game 1: It was a long match with lots of removal but with 2 Crystal Ball and Sun Titan to reanimate Squadron Hawk I had a comfortable victory.
Game 2: AI had me hard pressed with BSA but I had pumped knights so it played Day of Judgement, followed by Sun Titan the next round and I thankfully top deck Pacifism. We both play with Crystal Ball and mount armies. I don’t attack because I fear Condemn but all 4 Squadron Hawk enter the field in the same round while I have Ajani goldmane. I Crystal Ball into Pacifism, start pumping hawks and attack for the win in one swing. A very close match, I had real fun playing this match, a real test of skills.

Match 2 (Cognis AI)
Game 1: A little counter and a little removal plus 2 BSA make it a comfortable win.
Game 2: A very good match where both of us had a lot of creatures but in late game the AI didn’t stand a chance.

Game 3: AI hits hard and fast me to 6. Then he makes a mistake casting Battlegrace Angel that Ajani can't kill(it killed my two hyppies already. Next turn I cast Sengir Vampire and counter his angel. Few turns and I win.

Brandon vs Jatill2 2-0

Turn 5: Take 1, play swamp, swing for 2. I now have a choice between Malakir Bloodwitch and Mind Sludge. I go for the Sludge, since I can empty AIs hand and next turn Bloodwitch can stop the efreet.

Turn 5: Take 1, draw Vampire Hexmage, play swamp and hexmage. AI swings for 1 with Men, then steals Hexmage. (I could sac it in response, but AI would only take another guy next turn)
Turn 6: Take 1, draw marsh flats. AIEEE I don't want more land. Play/sac it. AI untaps Old Man, takes my bloodghast, casts Unstable Mutation on Flying Men, and swings for 4.

Using Grim Discovery to recover a fetchland on turn 4 would've let me Mind Sludge turn 5, but that doesn't deal with the stuff already on the board. AI swings for lethal. 1-2

Round 2:

jatill vs jatill3 (AI) - 2-0 (jatill +2 points)
Denied AI one land and he never cast anything more than an Oracle the turn before losing. 1-0

Similar game meaning that AI didn't cast anything else than that Oracle again... 2-0


jatill3 vs jatill (AI) - 2-0 (jatill3 +2 points)
After taking a kicking, I'm in 5 life, AI at 20 with some birds and elves untapped and all attackers tapped. It's my turn and I have two Geopedes, two almost primed Khalni Heart Expeditions in play. I draw and play a fetchland and attack with the 3/3 Geopedes. As you probably guessed, they're not blocked. Then I break the fetchland. Then I use Expeditions. My Geopedes turn into 13/13 creatures and AI goes to -6. It was too close but really cool! 1-0

Next game, AI goes to two on fourth turn with 13/13 Plated Geopede and doesn't recover. 2-0


jatill2 vs brandon (AI) - 2-0 (jatill2 +2 points)
Was losing first, but after gaining card advantage with Braingeysers, it was easy to win. 1-0

Stayed in control, flew past ground troops, controlled or countered any threats. 2-0


brandon vs jatill2 (AI) - 2-0 (brandon +2 points)
I had three Battlegrace Angels at best and AI had no blue mana. 1-0

Again only black mana and now only two swamps for the evil deck. Too easy, I would have liked a fight. 2-0


juzamjedi vs aww (AI) - 2-1 (juzamjedi +1 point)
Vampires win. But if AI had not untapped Old Man every turn, he could have killed my Sorin Markov, and the game might have ended differently. 1-0

Lost, after Unstable Flying Men did 10 damage over the first four turns and two Erg Riders helped him. My first useful card was a Bloodwitch, and with her and Markov, managed some turns but no longer after AI cast Oubliette on my witch. 1-1

Was losing initially, but after I cast Mind Sludge and Bloodwitch, I took control of the game. 2-1


aww vs juzamjedi (AI) - 0-2 (juzamjedi +5 points)
I cast Oubliette on AI's second Bloodwitch, but it cast another, draining more of my life. Then my own efreets and djinn killed me. 0-1

Crappy game - everything in my hand cast two black mana, but I had only one swamp. Should have mulliganed one more time, I guess, but figured that would be too dangerous. Sorry, aww. 0-2


cognis vs monopoman (AI) - 2-1 (cognis +1 point)
Squadron Hawks did 19 damage until AI cast Day of Judgment. After some turns (and another DoJ) a Baneslayed did it for me. 1-0

Did two mulligans and never got more than one land. Scroll Thieves gave AI huge card advantage. Even if I had Pacifism for larger threats, I died pitifully. For every creature I cast, AI had Brittle Effigy ready. 1-1

Last game, Ajani-boosted Squadron Hawks killed AI quickly. 2-1


monopoman vs cognis (AI) - 2-0 (monopoman +2 points)
For some reason, Terramorphic Expanse gave the land to my hand in this game. Also, the game crashed. Maybe I shouldn't have responded to that IM I got from a friend, but it hasn't crashed Manalink for me before. So 0-0, though I guess I had the advantage in this game.

In rematch, Baneslayer Angel dual-wielding two Swords of Vengeance did the final blow. 1-0

Argh, another crash in this game, likely related to AI using Squadron Hawk. Well, this time I think I had disadvantage. Still 1-0

Crap! Third crash! Again with the Squadron Hawk AI casts. Still 1-0

Now AI had only two mana, but still cast three Honor of the Pure, so those White Knights were dangerous. Still, a win for me. 2-0

[monopoman]

Bracket Alpha
Jatill3 (Human) Vs. Jatill Titans
Jatill3 wins 2-1

Game 1: AI wrecks me since I draw a ton of ramp but the AI keeps preventing me from laying down the 8th land I need to cast Lavaball Trap thanks to double slime AI swings in with beasts+slime.

Game 2: This game I actually run out of basic lands in my deck due to double destructive force+fetchlands. I still pull out the win though thanks to forcing trades with bigger creatures.

Game 3: This time its all about 1x Plated Geopede he does the full 20 thanks to massive mana search going on.

Jatill Titans (Human) Vs. Jatill3
Jatill Titans wins 2-0

Game 1: Garruk wrecks face this game the AI only does mana search and then plays one Oracle beast overrun wins.

Game 2: Once again similar to the first game the AI barely puts up a fight Garruk beasts win.

Bracket Beta
Jatill 2 (Human) Vs. Brandon
Jatill 2 wins 2-1

Game 1: I am forced to mulligan to 5 which turns out fairly bad for me. AI is able to beat me down without any retaliation really.

Game 2: This one is much easier for me I get some Mahamoti beatdown and then overwhelm the AI.

Game 3: Similar to game 1 but it is a bit closer the AI gets me low on life but then I stabilize and win.

Brandon (Human) Vs. Jatill 2
Brandon wins 2-0

Game 1: Stuck on 2 lands forever but I make this miraculous comeback thanks to an unstoppable duo of Elspeth and Ajani.

Game 2: I win again this time its an easier game to win due to the massive beat down the AI can not stop.


Bracket Gamma
Juzamjedi (Human) Vs. Aww1979
Juzamjedi wins 2-1

Game 1: AI overruns me with Flying men+ Old Man even though the AI never keeps his old man tapped.

Game 2: This time I get an extremely better hand whil the AI has the bad luck easy win.

Game 3: Another easy as hell win for the Vampire horde as the AI gets a more mediocre hand.

Aww1979 (Human) Vs. Juzamjedi
Aww1979 wins 2-0

Game 1: AI makes some real bad decisions at the end of the game and I easily overwhelm him.

Game 2: Ridiculously quick game Flying Man+2x Unstable Mutation = GG nearly Juzam Djinn comes into finish the guy off.

Bracket Delta
Monopoman (Human) Vs. Cognis
Monopoman wins 2-0

Game 1: Opponent gets moronic with its BSA and keeps killing my Jace which I easily reanimate by swining in with the unstoppable TITAN!!! We will always make sure they remember the Titans!

Game 2: This game I get a huge mana flood but am able to hold the AI back fairly well earlier thanks to some removal. 2x Titans = GG thanks to Sword of Vengeance after I stem the tide enough to stabilize.

Cognis (Human) Vs. Monopoman
Monopoman as the AI wins 2-0

Game 1: This game I come out solid but the AI wraths everything away then counters a Baneslayer. I do have an Ajani though but no creatures to pump I start gaining life. I then pull out a 24/24 Avatar the turn after the AI drops a Titan unfortunatly the AI has the ultimate answer Aether Adept. I do have a Titan to match the AI though. AI removes it via Effigy though and I am only able to get back a White Knight thanks to the Titans CITP effect. AI removes my Ajani thanks to an attack into it cause it bounced White Knight back to my hand with a 2nd Aether Adept. I do topdeck Pacifism which I use to pacify the mighty Titan. AI makes a mistake and doesn't bounce its own Titan to its hand with its 3rd Aether Adept. I lay down Squadrom Hawk and get 3 more. I then have a Hawk+Knight AI has a Pacified Titan+3x Aether Adept. I lay down everything giong for a quick win hopefully. Hawks start beating down hard AI does Day of Judgment just the turn before he would have died. The game stalls for a while AI lays down Baneslayer and I have nothing to stop it. I draw an Armored Acension and some more pump but have no creatures to use them on thanks to my only two creatures getting removed the turn I played them after the wrath.

Game 2: This game I get a much more solid start and the AI has a lot of trouble getting white mana. I start swinging in hard and get the AI down to 2 within a quick period of time. I try to finish the AI off quickly at that point because it drops BSA and I have no removal but I just lay down more threats hoping to get the last points in. The AI proceeds to remove my Titan and then drop a 2nd BSA I have no answer at all to this and just have small creatures left. The AI swings in with BSA over and over and drops me quickly to negative life.

Man I can't believe how lucky the AI got in some of these games. Even despite that early bad hand in game 2 he recovered well.

[Cognis]

I played a few matches against your deck since it's challenging and I realised you should always keep a creature as a backup in your hand and never go all out. The matches are long and evenly matched so it was just a matter of time UW control would get a hand to kick me down.

[monopoman]

Yeah that is why I put a buttload of removal into the deck I did not go balls to the wall with every hand. I understand to play worrying about Day of Judgment it was mostly once I saw things like BSA drop I knew I had to try to get the damage in ASAP.

1 Baneslayer unanswered by your deck = GG if they keep it around long enough and you can't kill the AI off before the angel becomes a problem.

But I have been playing for more then 10 years so I understand the keeping a few back in hand for board resets.

My control deck was built to beat aggro basically I think I put in the tools to do it.

[jatill]

Only 6 testers for round 2, which is a shame since 2 matches came down to just 1 point.

Results:
jatill beats jatill3 (16-9)
jatill2 beats brandon (13-10)
aww beats juzamjedi (11-10)
monopman beats cognis (15-14)

Semifinals:
jatill vs jatill2
aww vs monopman

[jatill]

jatill vs jatill2 (1-2, jatill2 +3)
Game 1: I have Garruk into Interno Titan, but the Ai is ready with Terror. Maze keeps an attacker at bay and Slime eats a Control Magic. Garruk beats race the fliers for the win.
Game 2: A turn 3 Specter threatens to tear my hand apart so I have to gamble on the turn 5 Titan turn 6 Force plan. Titan is Terrored and Force is discarded. So much for that plan.
Game 3: Mulligan into Elf + Clutivate. Not the worst, except my only action spell (P Titan) gets countered. Braingeyser for 6 makes me cry, and I die.

jatill2 vs jatill (2-0, jatill2 +2)
Game 1: Mulligan. Control Magic on P Titan fuels a Braingeyser for 8. Nice deck.
Game 2: I'm greedy, so I keep 6 lands + Dark Ritual. My first 3 draws are 2 Hippys and a Sengir. Greed is good.

aww vs monopman (1-2, +3 monopman)
Game 1: Definately an uphill battle, since the AI can answer everything I play. I have the Oubliette for BSA, and an Unstable Old Man manages to attack for the final points of damage.
Game 2: I draw my 2nd black too late, and my double Oubliette mock me while BSA murders my life total.
Game 3: Same ***, different game. I think this deck really needed City of Brass, or more black sources.

monopman vs aww (2-0, +2 monopman)
Game 1: Cast all 4 BSA in the first 10 turns. Nice game.
Game 2: More BSA action. Card is kind of good, no?
