2/1 here. Game 1 wasn't even close to being close, game 2 was scary; I flooded a little but was just aggro enough to get there, and game 3 was a repeat of game 2 without the flood.

KidDynamite you should just scoop to me since I got paired down and all.

When do you want to play?

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

Free most days after 5EST so let me know what works for you, suicidesteve.

My wife usually goes to sleep around 9, so any time after that works best for me.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Suicidesteve vs IBMS

Lawinator vs Thisuck

No hard time limit this time.

I'm also ok with declaring the current standings as the final results. :v:

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.

Any updates from Thisuck or Lawinator?

I'm curious who I'm going to lose to in the finals. It'll be the 4th one of these things I lost in the finals, plus the one I lost in the semifinals.

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:
