Is this 4 rounds of swiss and cut to top 4 or what?

Four rounds of swiss and then we'll see if any goons are still playing. If we do, it's onto top 4.

2/0 here. Game 1 I won the die roll and I'm pretty sure that was all that mattered; he was on the back foot the whole game. 2 Collected Companies and triple Cutthroats also helped. Game 2 I missed some lands and made a questionable fetching choice that cut me off of BB for the 2 Lilis in my hand. I was 100% sure I was dead, but Catacomb Sifter put in a TON of work. It scryed 4 or 5 lands to the bottom, and Evolutionary Leap kept the gas coming. I ended up coming back from a 30 to 1 defecit for a very close win.

Whenever this one finishes, which will be in somewhere between two to five weeks depending on if there's enough interest to do a top four. I'll make sure to announce it in the main thread when I make the next thunderdome. I was possibly thinking of doing legacy next, unless anyone else has some suggestions.

Yep, 1/2. Game 1 I couldn't find any black mana, or lands in general, and lost with 5 black cards in my hand. Game 2 I had a pretty good draw and flipped a Lili whose emblem won the game (for the record I had a Murderous Cut so even if that Company hadn't hit a Fleshbag I was still fine.) Game 3 I mulled 2 1-landers, kept another 1-lander, drew 6 lands and died to 8 removal spells: quad Draconic Roar, double Crackling Doom, Radiant Flames, and Kolaghan's Command on top of double Thunderbreak plus the stupid land to get it back.

2-1, me winning over KidDynamite.

I got to say, having played against two aristrocrats decks so far, if they draw Butcher of the Horde, I'm pretty dead without sideboard removal. Without that, the game plan is often too slow for G/W's threats.
