Well, neither Irony Be My Shield nor always be closing reported to me at all (and I definitely saw Irony around the forums). So if you're paired with either of them or Sigma-X, don't expect to get a game in.

Regardless, this is the last round because the week after is Thanksgiving and, yeah, I'm not even going to try to get things working during that time considering my schedule and likely other Americans as well.

Oh man, now I get paired up?! Thisuck meet me on IRC or PM me or whatever so I can crush you mercilessly. Or just scoop to me so we can all win!

Alright, in that case things work out nicely. The two dropouts got paired together. So, Irony, I'll be available for a match any time from Friday 3PM EST and forward. What's a good time?

I'm on IRC when I'm available. Today might be rough, but tomorrow night sounds good. If we miss that I should be available most of the weekend.

Competence on the battlefield is a myth. The side which screws up next to last wins, it's as simple as that.

Those are good, I could even play right now if you're free.

2-0 in IBMS's favor. Ulamog pretty much curb stomped me.

TheLawinator beat me 2-0 even though I had Cutthroats putting in some extra work and draining twice sometimes.

Odiv conceded game 2 because zulaport cutthroat randomly triggers twice repeatedly for no reason. I guess that's 2-0?

odiv

We noticed it happening when there was a Cutthroat on the battlefield and one in the graveyard that had died earlier in the turn and then later it happened again when there was one on the battlefield and one on the stack.

I suppose we could have rolled back the turn and tried to gently caress around until the triggers came out properly, but I was dead anyway, so I conceded.

"Life is a maze. This is one of its dead ends.


2/1. Game 1 and 2 are kind of mixed up in my head but I missed some land drops in one (1 I think) and lost to double Butcher of the Horde matching up pretty poorly against my hand of 6 cards I couldn't cast. Game 2 I had double Collected Company. One was good, one was awful but good enough. Game 3 I kept double Company, Survival of the Fittest, 4 lands and hoped I didn't draw a land turn 1 (I did) and that his draw wasn't too aggressive (it wasn't.) The first one hit double Lili :v: while the second hit Catacomb Sifter and a Cutthroat. I eventually ground him down with 3 Cutthroats I found from Survival until I got a Lili Emblem and cast 2 Hangarbacks for 0 in one turn still with 3 Cutthroats out and him at 10 life.

tl;dr: Lili Emblems are sweet.

Results are in. Thisuck, IBMS, TheLawinator, and suicidesteve are in the top 4. If you guys are still up for it, we can hammer out the winner of that. Hopefully in a faster fashion than the usual rounds due to half the people being involved.

"Life is a maze. This is one of its dead ends.


2/0 after some good draws on my end. Game 1 I had him dead to me drawing any creature, and probably even without a creature, when xmage decided to skip my 2nd main phase, so I reset the turn forgetting that I had upkeep fetched and drawn the card to make him dead on board (Cutthroat.) Luckily at that point I had a Lili who was about to ult. His Atarka was forced to trade with my Nantuko Shade, which made for a pretty good EOT for me. Game 2 I mulled a 1-lander, kept 6 with double edict creatures + hangarback, wasted my first turn with a Duress against mana dorks and an Atarka, and edicted his 2 mana guys along with my Hangarback. Those 3/1s did a ton of damage, both in terms of life total and his ability to ramp, so that his turn 7 Atarka with him at 4 (I think?) life couldn't do enough damage to my board to let him live through the turn.

"Life is a maze. This is one of its dead ends.


I win 2/0. Game 1 I used my triple Catacomb Sifter draw to make sure I never drew a 3rd land for the rest of the game and got the random Fleshbag to flip Lili to reanimate Fleshbag value to kill his Soulfire and Thunderbeak. Game 2 he had an... ambitious keep and got his only castable spell Duressed. IIRC the only spell cast on his side was a Foul-Tongue which got my Scion token.

At least I can win the finals in a format that doesn't even count. :cry:
