The March Hare, I'm leaving for Japan for two weeks on Saturday, and my schedule is pretty bad up until then. I could maybe do 10 central tonight.

I'll have access to a computer that has XMage once I get there, so no rush if Tokyo time isn't terrible for you.

I finally got her to calm down right around the time I Rough'd. I found a cartoon for her to watch (Futurama) and she's happy as crap now. And to be fair, my draw game 2 turned out really good compared to yours. I kept 3 fetches, Delver, Rough/Tumble, and Sulfur Elemental, so pretty much if I got to 3 mana, I was winning that game. That was why I Pondered with your Spirit out; I really, really needed to hit my 3rd land. If you had another Wasteland or a Port in that game, I was going to lose. Even a Swords would have given you a while to draw into something. GGs either way and good luck in the next rounds.

My game 1 draw worked out pretty well. This was literally the only matchup where I'm happy to keep the hand I kept, which was like Volc, Stifle, Daze, Ponder, Brainstorm, Bolt, Fire/Ice. I Dazed his Vial and tried to Brainstorm with the mana I floated, but apparently hitting OK to clear the stack passes through the phase or something? Has anyone else run into this? I'm 100% sure I floated blue mana. Either way it worked out, it's just annoying. My sideboard cards cleaned up game 2. Rough getting Spirit of the Labyrinth, Thalia, and Stoneforge, followed by Sulfur Elemental in response to Mangara did some work.

A few things to take note of:
Armageddon is probably not what you want against Delvers. Even in your case where you're the better mana denial deck, between Spell Pierce, Daze, and my own Wastelands you're not likely to resolve a 4-mana spell. Even if you play around Daze by having 5 mana, if I do Daze it, I've got a huge advantage just by having a land in my hand.
Thalia has First Strike, so you had free attacks into my Delver there. It wasn't relevant in that game, but it was a few damage that could have mattered.

Fingers McLongDong: I'm on vacation in Vegas for the week until next Wednesday. I most likely can't commit to any time between now and then but if the thread is okay with waiting and it's alright with you, I could potentially do that Wednesday evening the 27th in the evening/night.

You know, I'm scooping to you and need to withdraw altogether. My laptop is having serious issues staying on and I got nothing else to use when I get back from vacation. I'll be back for the next legacy thunderdome.

Beat MySwan 2-0, I did Enchantress things and he didn't have sufficient disruption for my Enchantress things.

Beat wildfire1 2-1.

Game 1 he gets the beats and does the RUG delver thing while I flop around.

Game 2 he has double wasteland and the stifle for my ex map, and beats on me with a delver and casts a sulfuric vortex. However, I resolve a primetime at 3 life and get glacial chasm and another land, buying me a turn against his v-clique and delver and vortex, then untap into an ugin to wipe his board and swing for double glimmerpost to put me back to 15.

Game 3 he keeps a 1 lander and my first draw is my singleton wasteland. He misses land drop 2 and I waste his volc. He has turn 1 delver flip but has to force a crucible of worlds the next turn (another singleton!) and I build up while he never draws a land and delver can't race glimmerposts into the eventual primetime.

I unfortunately think I'm going to concede my match to Viscardus and drop from this. The 3 way punchfest of catching Death Flu, shaky internet due to storm flooding and work crunch is too much for the time being. Best wishes to all though!

I condede this round to AgentScythe because it's been two weeks of us chasing each other around sporadically between two different sets of waking hours and he's been putting in slightly more effort to meet up than I have and I'm tired of this particular garbage song and dance routine.
