Group A
Alex vs. Aww win 2-0
Game 1: I terror Kobold Taskmasters twice and clean up with Hypnotic beats for an easy win.
Game 2:
Bad Moon makes my creatures much stronger than theirs.
Alex vs. Ascetic Troll win 2-0
Game 1: AI has 3 Flying men on turn 2,
Unstable Mutation turn 3. I don't have
Terror, but I have
Bad Moon and enough creatures that I outrace the AI.
Game 2: This is even scarier because I don't have
Bad Moon and AI has Serendib with 2
Unstable Mutation (and I have no
Terror). I get AI to 1 life when I am at 3, and AI does on his last upkeep
Alex vs. Stroggoii win 2-0
Game 1:
Desert does a lot of good work killing creatures this game.
Game 2:
Bad Moon + black creatures is a winning combo again!
Aww vs. Alex win 2-0
Game 1: Drop my hand, play
Wheel of Fortune, and drop it again. Yes it's good enough
Game 2: Almost exactly the same as game 1.
Aww vs. Ascetic Troll lose 0-2
Game 1: I keep a slow-ish hand with 3 mountains, several 2 drops and Wheel. AI plays Zepher Falcon with
Unstable Mutation, then Serendib, and then
Phantom Monster. I don't ever have enough monsters to swarm and lose handily.
Game 2: I have lands a 0 drop and
Kobold Taskmaster so I keep. This time AI has Flying man, 2x
Unstable Mutation and outraces me easily.
Aww vs. Stroggoii win 2-0
Game 1: The game stalls with a bunch of kobolds on both sides. I draw Wheel, cast it, dump my hand full of Taskmasters and run over the AI in one fell swoop.
Game 2: Similar to game 1, I load up on taskmasters and win.
Ascetic Troll vs. Alex win 2-0
Game 1: AI Hymn's me and it's painful. Game stalls out and I get time to cast 2x
Mahamoti Djinn. Nothing else is bigger than my Djinns and I win in the air.
Game 2: T1
Flying Men, T2 2x
Flying Men, T3 3x
Unstable Mutation (!)
Ascetic Troll vs. Aww win 2-0
Game 1: 3x
Unstable Mutation, really easy win.
Game 2: exactly the same, another easy win.
Ascetic Troll vs. Stroggoii win 2-0
Game 1: 2x Unstable mutation + fliers wins pretty easily.
Game 2: 2x Unstable mutation. This deck seems really strong and is winning easily.
Stroggoii vs. Alex win 2-0
Game 1: Erg Raids +
Mishra's Factory do all 20 damage.
Hymn to Tourach + Aeleopile took out 2 Ball Lightnings.
Game 2: T2
Black Knight, T3
Hypnotic Specter, T4 2x
Bad Moon. Seems good!
Stroggoii vs. Aww win 2-0
Game 1: The game stalls out again. In this case, I have
Lightning Bolt to clear the AI's creatures that matter and connect with 2x Ball Lightnings to make it a faster win.
Game 2: I draw more taskmasters AND I have a
Lightning Bolt that wrecks the AI when I kill his Taskmaster and wipe most of his field.
Stroggoii vs. Ascetic Troll win 2-1
Game 1: I have 2x
Lightning Bolt's that wreck the AI. I kill
Flying Men in response to
Unstable Mutation and clean up with random kobolds.
Game 2: I keep a 1 land hand with 3x
Lightning Bolt. Unfortunately this time AI plays 2x Serendibs while I miss land drops and can't keep up.
Game 3: This time AI stalls on 2 lands, and I play 3x
Ball Lightning. WOW easy win.
Group B
Aswan Jaguar vs. Jatill win 2-0
Game 1: T1 Bazaar and mox, discarding
Craw Giant and
Nicol Bolas. Turn 2
Badlands Animate
Craw Giant. T3
City of Brass and animate
Nicol Bolas!!!!
Game 2: T1 Bazaar and mox, discarding Colossus. T2
Underground Sea and animate colossus. T3
Animate Dead Nicol Bolas and
Instill Energy him
T4
Instill Energy on Colossus and win.
Aswan Jaguar vs. Juzamjedi win 2-1
Game 1: I am able to reanimate a craw giant, but AI boomerang's it. I play animate dead again while AI plays a second lord. Now all his men islandwalk and I can't outrace him with my fattie.
Game 2: I reanimate a Colossus, but have no way to untap it. AI builds up a team of merfolk and by the time I draw
Instill Energy I can't profitably attack. AI sits back doing NOTHING for several turns, giving me time to reanimate a
Nicol Bolas (I have
City of Brass for Blue) and win with attacks in the air.
Game 3: I reanimate a Colossus, give it
Instill Energy, then animate
Nicol Bolas with
City of Brass to pay the blue. AI has a team of merfolk, but not enough to outrace my start.
Success!Aswan Jaguar vs. Shantak win 2-1
Game 1: I reanimate Colossus, and AI takes it before I can attack. AI plays 2x
Serra Angels and I oubliette them. I reanimate
Nicol Bolas, AI takes it. I reanimate
Nicol Bolas (after AI can't pay upkeep) and instill energy for the swing in. AI plahys a Nevinnyral's disk, but never uses it to save himself so I win :-/
Game 2: The AI steals my Colossus this game. AI never untaps Colossus with the
Instill Energy on it but beats me anyway with
Serra Angel.
Game 3: This game I play a much slower, controllish game. I
Oubliette the
Serra Angels and reanimate NIcol Bolas (Bolas is safest because AI can't pay upkeep). Eventually I assemble Animat Dead +
Instill Energy and swing. AI disk's at 2 life. I oubliette the
Serra and dig for
Animate Dead +
Instill Energy again.
This was a really intersting game, probably the most fun matchup I played
Jatill vs.
Aswan JaguarGame 1: Tron gets online. AI Oubiette's my first 3 guys. I use disk at end of AI's turn, untap and clean house with Colossus'.
Game 2: AI puts 2x Bazaar in play, and does nothing but draw/discard. Pretty easy.
Jatill vs. Juzamjedi win 2-0
Game 1: My opening hand has 2x
Black Lotus, ROFLMAO. I play Suchi, and then draw Tron naturally and Trike his lords for an easy win.
Game 2: This hand is a little slower. This time I I Nevinnyral's disk and get 3 for 1. I play Suchi, then Triskelions come online and it's easy from there.
Jatill vs. Shantak win 2-0
Game 1: I have a slowish hand. This time I use Nevinnyral's disk to 3 for 1, then trike (which suicides for some damage when AI tries to Control it), then I drop a Colossus, Trike and Suchi to clean up.
Game 2: Pretty similar to previous game, except I assemble tron faster and start pushing out Colossi on turn 4.
Juzamjedi vs. Aswan win 2-0
Game 1: I get the mega-lord draw and run over the AI easily.
Game 2: I hold back a little bit, and
Power Sink the
Animate Dead's. I add merfolk slowly, and cast
Ancestral Recall at end of AI's turns it doesn't cast a spell. Very different, but works well.
Juzamjedi vs. Jatill win 2-0
Game 1: I have the mega-lord hand. AI plays a turn 1 disk, so I only play 1 lord. AI pops disk, I rebuild with lords while AI is stuck on lands. I hold up power sink for shenanigans that don't come and win.
Game 2: T1 Merfolk, T2 bounce a tron land. T3 bounce a tron land. T4
Lord of Atlantis with
Power Sink backup (counter the
Triskelion).
Juzamjedi vs. Shantak win 2-1
Game 1: I end up playing this one too slowly. I keep up countermagic for early turns when I should have just played out my men. AI wins for exactsies while I had lethal swingback :-/
Game 2: T2
Boomerang the land, T3
Boomerang land and merfolk, T4 Lord and
Boomerang another land. Pretty easy to win when I am that far ahead!
Game 3: this hand is slower, but I have 2
Lord of Atlantis. I play out my lords and they are not killed on site. I ride Power Sinks to victory from there.
Shantak vs. Aswan win 2-0
Game 1: AI plays double Bazaar and mills like crazy. AI does reanimate a
Nicol Bolas, but doesn't pay his upkeep so I win :-/
Game 2: I get stuck on 3 lands, but it doesn't matter. AI reanimates
Nicol Bolas and doesn't ever pay his upkeeps.
Shantak vs. Jatill win 2-0
Game 1: Game stalls when I play
Moat. AI has a disk, 2 actually, and never uses them. A human probably would have won, but dumb disk AI loses this game :-/
Game 2: The epic stupidity of the AI was at an all time high this round. AI has 4 Nevinnyral's Disk in play at one point! Easy win but a human opponent would have won.
Shantak vs. Juzamjedi lose 1-2
Game 1: I drop a
Moat early. AI tries to bounce it, but I power sink the boomerang and AI doesn't attack again after that.
Game 2: This game I resolve Nevinnyral's disk, but AI doesn't play many creatures. I eventually blow it for 2 creatures while I'm at low life. AI topdecks 2 lords right afterward and I die a couple turns later.
Game 3: I mulligan and get
Moat. Unfortunately I never get to 4 lands and AI kills me with an aggro / Lord draw.
