Two things I forgot to mention.

All playoff rounds are best 2 out of 3.

As far as deadline - Let's try to get these matches done in the next two weeks.

Thanks! :mrgreen:

My butt hurts... :lol:

0-2 against Mad Maxx. Guess that means I'm out of the playoffs. Both games were brutal, but I stuck it out until the very end. Excellently played Maxx, and good luck against your next opponent!

I played my first round playoff games with Koru tonight. They were very exciting. I was nervous as usual. I never thought that our matching issues were on my end, but they were. My router needs to be replaced. After I power cycled it, we were good to go, and never DC'ed or anything. My bad Koru >.<

Anyway, game one was on my home map. Koru played a very mean deck (as did I). I think he got a key card too late, and then we found that he didn't have an answer for my plan B. Plan B turned out to be a major pain for him that match. I got the win. We had enough time for his map, so we went on to game two.

I am pretty sure that Koru landed on the color land he needed pretty much every time I was looking. This made it challenging for me, as he was chaining like crazy! We had quite a bit more battles this game, some good back and forth action. Mid-late game, I used a few cheater cards that really hurt what he had going, and I got back to the castle over the goal to take the win.

Great games Koru! You were a worthy opponent, and I look forward to playing you again on the ladders or in the next tourney :mrgreen:

Monk and I played our first match, on my home map of Alcyon. Despite a couple really big scares (either of which would have probably ended my chances at a win), I managed to pull through for the victory. Very good game, Monk. Looking forward to the next one (and probably two!).

Match 2 done. Monk won it easily. Woe be to anyone who plays him on his home map. :shock:

Very good game!

And match 3 is in the books too. Almost a total mirror match, but the very few cards that were different mattered just enough for me to eke out a win. Very well-played, Monk... 1 more lap and you'd have had me. :)

Played Epic on his map and lost. He just beat me at my own game.

We attempted to play on my map but disconnected halfway through. Could've been anybody's match at that point.

Good game, Epic. Here's to getting our last game(s?) in soon.

GG Whooh, I think those keys cards I got in my hand (one after another) helped me to victory. That second match was getting good too. I wish the dc didn't happen or at least could have been at the beginning of the match instead of how far we were into it. Look forward to finishing our matches soon.

Jasoya and YO, you have until May 12th to get your match(es) in. We are almost a week past the original deadline for round 1 of the playoffs. If time is an issue, maybe just play the one match on your neutral map Alycon II, and the winner advances.

Round 2 playoff pairings are posted. Good Luck all :)

Jasoya won on his map, I won on my map, and it all came down to the last match... Let me just say that words cannot describe how epic this match was. We were close all game and holding each other off with our strategies. Eventually it came down to the last 5 turns. We were literally trading the lead on every turn. I lucked out and hit the castle first getting that coin boost to put me over the top. It was literally the last possible turn. Words cannot explain how epic that match was. Jasoya is an incredible player and I feel honored and lucky to move up and represent in the tournament.

Yes the first two matches ended in disconnects but it was pretty clear who the likely victor was going to be. So it came down to one match and it was one of the most epic and longest matches I have played online. As YO said words can't describe how epic the match was but how about a video?! Thanks to YO giving me permission to record the match with my capture card I have a replay of the entire match! I would have been posting it at the end of Saga Bowl but with additional consent from YO the video will be posted on YouTube and I will be sharing the link with everyone tomorrow. I think this was the first time I did not make it into the Semi Finals but for it to occur with one of the most epic matches I ever played, I have no regrets. Great game YO and good luck with the rest of your matches!

Sweet! Our first Saga Bowl video. I can't wait to watch it after we have crowned the Saga Bowl X champion!

(On a related note, yes, I'm aware that most of the Saga match videos on the site don't work. Google pulled the plug on their video service, taking nearly all of the videos we had with it. BOO! :x I'll be tracking down more videos to add to the section very soon though!)

Thanks Andy, those were some very intense matches. I think we could talk about the deep strategy we both used in those games for many days to come. Good games.

YO and I played our first match on Kaningun, my home map, tonight. It was pretty intense and I had to use my trickeration to stop his trickeration. After I got settled in a bit, I leveled my lands up a bit here and there and got the win. Good Game YO, I bet you will get some revenge tomorrow at your house, X. :D

YO and I played game 2 on X tonight. It was a battle for the ages. We went back and forth quite a bit. I had a good start, but then YO battled back. I'd get a foothold again, and then YO would use his fishbot powers to knock me back down. There were many times that I had no regard for my leveled lands. It seemed like a near endless struggle, but after a hard fought battle, I found myself on top. Great Game YO! :) You played very well.

Holy crap, I think that's the first time ever that someone's run the table in a standard league. Nicely done, and congrats!
