Ggs Neon, although I hate the game for going on the draw all games!

And so, it is complete.
Despite being on the draw for 3 consecutive games, Auunj takes the game like a boss: 2-1.
If anyone feels so inclined, you can also rewatch my angle on Twitch.
Game 2, had that last land been a mountain, I wonder if Glorybringer would have stuck. If it hadn't.. ehh, I dunno. Anyway, red did its thing.
Game 3, as soon as I had sacrificed Bomat, I regretted it. "Madness out Temper", ooh shiny.. distracted. Auunj pretty much took over from there on out.
Bomat was a last minute swap, I'm still getting used to it.
Still, I enjoyed the games, good luck in the next round Auunj!

Despite being Beat down very quickly game one I (Altashheth) snuck a win 2-1.
Game 1, I Blinked my eye and my life total vanished.... Copter, veins, temper and some disintergration did me in.
Game 2, 2 Glory-Bounds and a Walking Balista helped me stabilise before Bruna and then Brisela closed out the game.
Game 3, 1 Glory-Bound and a Walking Balista brought me an extra turn before a sacrifice of my entire board to Westvale Abbey summoned Ormendahl to close out the game.
Man of the match was the Glory-Bound Initiate with the Walking Balista in close 2nd. Wizard_Al took my luck like a champ!
I've recorded the games, enjoy!
Practice matches v HARD AI. I was lucky in game 1. Shows a good range of what the deck can achieve.

Sando and myself played our games!
2-1 in my favor, and looks like im moving on.
Glancing over the control decks in this tournament in particular, I like Auunj's innovation of Lightning Axe + Fiery Temper in the main deck.
That card is UNDER APPRECIATED.
Thanks for the kind words. Personally I think they are much better than Magma Spray and Fiery Impulse as those don't deal with some early problematic threats with 3/3+ toughness.
If I had to resubmit the deck I'd play +1 LA and +1 FT in place of 2 Comparative Analysis. The current setup should be better against control and midrange tho, so not a big loss.
And LA is pretty good late game as you can just pay 6 mana eot.
MagicMaster and I played our games today. I went 2-0 thanks to (unfortunate) mana short on MM's part, and a well timed Peacewalker Colossus (since he was wiping out possible vehicle pilots as fast as I could get them out).
Game 1 - MagicMaster concede due to mana short.
Fun playing with you MagicMaster, looking forward to Round 2!
Good luck guys! Will any recordings/streamage be available?
Cucho and I completed our round 1 match.
I really did think I was in with a shot v Mono blue control. When we started Cucho's connection lagged when he tried to counter first creature. We agreed to restart. Game 1 was the best game but true to form every creature or threat countered. An early Jace and it's ultimate made it tough. Once Dynavolt Tower was packed out and ballista out it was a slow countering death.
Game 2 I decided it was a gamble to keep a 2 land Sylvan advocate mana hand. Mana screw meant that this did not pan out for me. Once I had the mana for threats Dynavolt was always able to take care. In the end the ballista / tower combo ended the match relatively quickly.
Looking at control in this match and over on the Xbox platform it's certainly a good choice. Just odd that it is not really dominant in standard.
I will post the video of the entire match once converted.
Game 2 was a very typical reason as to why a 2 land hand is never a keep. I lost count of the number of draws I had before hitting a third land! Was a 'walk in the park' for Cucho game 2.

Cucho's deck looks really tight, although I believe it might have huge problems with early aggro. Seems well armed for control mirrors and slower decks.
PS1: For future matches we advice that the control deck (if there is one) host the game.
Looking forward to more videos, and I would like congratulate Ne0n for broadcasting his match on Twitch!! I thought it cant be done.

I just hope to get to top 8 so I can tweak the deck for the specific match.
There is a blue red control up there in standard but a lot of standard decks are going quickly, trying to go under control.... also... there is marvel for free wins.
Appreciate it Cucho, sorry for the dead space in chat last time!
I'll try to keep an eye on the chat next time.
