Elistral & Cashew vs. KlassyReborn & Hells33kerd
2-0 - “A little more bitter than sweet.”
Game 1 - KlassyReborn & Hells33kerd
Both teams played a Bitterblossom early on, giving the game a definitive clock. E&C found some protection in Stillmoon Cavalier, but it wasn’t long before K&H found some either in the form of Sword of Light and Shadow. It was back and forth and pretty even, but the life gain of the Sword gave K&H the winning advantage.
Game 2 - Elistral & Cashew
K&H jumped to any early start by dropping two Bitterblossoms early. However E&C played Engineered Plague naming Rogue. With no answer K&H’s life simply withered away.
Game 3 - KlassyReborn & Hells33kerd
K&H got both Devoted Druid, and Quillspike in play by turn three, with a Rite of Consumption in hand. It was a very quick and anti-climactic game.

Ryuzaki & ShaKadelic vs ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
2-1 - “Burn, baby, burn!”
Game 1 - ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
RyuShak got mana flooded, and ThunderFry "Burned" them for it.
Game 2 - Ryuzaki & ShaKadelic
Quick burning ran into a Draining Whelk, which was then equipped with Sword of Fire and Ice. ThunderFry continued to burn, but was one land short of winning.
Game 3 - ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
Quick burn, and Mogg beats built up the damage to fast for RyuShak to stop.

Oblivion & Bobsterbeino vs. AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
2-0 - “No men on the front lines.”
Game 1 - AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
Oblivion/Bobster got some early burn, but was also color-screwed for half the game, and was thusly no match for AE/Zak's tramplers.
Game 2 - AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
Oblivion/Bobster simply could not get their creatures out, and frequently saw them countered when they were. ProTip: Creatures with heavy colored mana requirements, such as Godhead of Awe and Thistledown Liege, don't work very well when one can only control half of one's mana base.

GG Crono & Final_Press vs. Thanatos & Scion
2-1 - “I told you not to open that door.”
Game 1 - Thanatos & Scion
Quick match. An early Garruk Wildspeaker ended the game for Thanatos/Scion.
Game 2 - GG Crono & Final_Press
Similarly quick game. GG/FP managed to get out the Devoted Spike combo, along with a Taunting Elf.
Game 3 - Thanatos & Scion
Despite heavy land screw early in the game, GG/FP managed to hang on for quite awhile. The threat of a Chameleon Colossus backed by a ton of mana was held off first by chump blockers and then by Commander Eesha. GG/FP managed to stall until Turn 28, after which the game was ended by Thanatos/Scion's Door to Nothingness.

Also, if anyone's deck beats Fry and I, they get a :cookie:. :devil:

Anyone wanna place bets? I bet :cookie:(s). XD

KlassyReborn & Hells33kerd vs. ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
2-0 - “Burned, shocked, zapped, and... pecked?”
Game 1 - ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
TH/Fry was able to burn away most of Klassy/Hell's creatures early on, and they later ended the game through the application of some Blistering Firecats.
Game 2 - ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
Second verse, same as the first. Klassy/Hell was burned to a deep-fried crisp.
Thanatos & Scion vs. AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
2-1 - “Snooze-fest”
Game 1 - AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
A game with a fairly slow start was ended quickly by a pair of Sheltering Ancients and an Empty the Warrens with a storm count of 4 on Alaster/Zak's part.
Game 2 - Thanatos & Scion
Tha/Scion brought on an early-game beating with, of all things, a Moldervine Cloak-enchanted BoP, which was quickly joined by a Chameleon Colossus.
Game 3 - AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
This one dragged on for a looong time, Alaster/Zak's creatures held in check by Tha/Scion's Thornweld Archer. A Rift Bolt took care of that, and the game ended shortly after.

ThunderHog & FrycHiKn vs. AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
2-1 - “Close, but no cookie...”
Game 1 - ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
A poor start on AlZak's side left them with a low life total by the time they got a double Empty the Warrens played.
Game 2 - AlasterEisaroh & Zaknifa
Smart plays, and careful planning alouded AlZak to overcome ThunderFry's massive amount of burn.
Game 3 - ThunderHog & FrycHiKn
A really close game the whole way through, it all came down to who drew their "Big Creature" first.

***CONGRATULATIONS THUNDERHOG & FRYCHIKN***

Luck truly created a match made in heaven, and the competition just could not overcome our overwhelming amount of fiery fury!

[AlasterEisaroh]

/me is going for Gold.
/me thinks TH has won enough rounds.
/me is going to bribe Crono....

Um don't mind that last one.

[FrycHiKn]

/me likes deep-fried opponents.
/me wins.
/me can't wait for the finals!

[Eldros]

Hmm, I've been waiting to participate to House of Cardz since it was mentioned to me at my inscription, and it seems HoC has been a bit forgotten. So what's the status? Has the final match been played?

[ThunderHog]

Honestly, that's a good question (you'd think I would know this stuff XD). Actually, Alaster's been having some computer troubles. Looks like I'm gonna have to beat up my computer and hopefully get it done myself.

[FrycHiKn]

Sooo... Are we there yet?

[ThunderHog]

Yes we are...

Post #7, edited

The next round will be posted up within the week.

[FrycHiKn]

We won! YaY!!!!!!!
:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

*eats half-cookie*

[Zaknifa]

But I really wanted a cookie, of the chocolate chip variety, but alas it was not in the cards. Just glad I was able to get his far, a big thanks to AlasterEisaroh with providing half of the second place deck. I could not have got this far with out you.

[ThunderHog]

I seriously thought the biggest contender was going to be Ryu and ShaKa. It probably would have been too if they didn't get ousted on the first round.

Update: I will be out of town starting tomorrow (Wed, Nov 19) and will be returning on Saturday (Nov, 22). I have the next round all ready to be posted, but I'm going to hold it for until after I return. Expect it to be posted either late Saturday or early Sunday EST. I MIGHT have internet access throughout the trip, but it'll probably be limited anyway.

I'm about to do something I've never done before. I'm going to give everyone a hint about the next round. The name of the round is "All that Glitters". There is only two people besides myself that know the specifics, and I'm hoping they can resist telling until I get back. XD

[Eldros]

I can see easily two possibilities, and both rejoice me already. Of course, I might be wrong, but the simple fact that I will be able to participate is filling me with anticipation.

[FrycHiKn]

D00D you got no faith! -_-
