Down to the sweet sixteen.

Game 38: Apep vs Anubis.
ROUND ONE
Apep summons birds of paradise while Anubis summons an elite vanguard. The vanguard gets a quick hit in, and Anubis summons an undead minotaur. Apep brings his own minotaur to the party, a deathforge shaman from Zendikar. The shaman attacks and is intercepted by the undead minotaur. Anubis gives the undead minotaur the power of mortal's ardor, and both minotaurs kill each other in the process of Anubis' wounds healing. Anubis then summons a ghost warden while the elite vanguard again begins to attack. Apep summons sanity gnawers, a pack of rats that cause Anubis to lose his lifelink spell. Anubis' elite vanguard continues to press the attack being bolstered by the ghost warden. Apep sneaks a quick hit in with a dreg mangler (a plant zombie from the plane of Ravnica), which is then sacrificed to Apep's disciple of Bolas. The elite vanguard strikes again, and Anubis summons Shu elite infantry. Apep scavenges the remains of the dreg mangler, using them to strengthen the birds of paradise which begin to go on the offensive. The Shu press in for the attack, destroying Apep's rats. Apep continues the attack with his birds, and signs a contract in blood to gain a few more spells. The Shu elite infantary continue to attack, this time bolstered by the ghost warden. Apep terminates the warriors of Earth, and presses the attack with his birds. Anubis summons a suntail hawk to block the birds of paradise. Apep, not worried about the hawk, continues the aerial assault. However, Anubis blocks the birds of paradise with his suntail hawk and infuses it with righteousness, destroying the birds of paradise. Not wanting to give up so easily, Apep summons a Krovikan vampire and a monstrous carabid. The elite vanguard, bolstered by the ghost warden, blocks the initial assault from the Krovikan vampire, but Apep achieves victory by infusing the monstrous carabid with a howl from beyond. Apep claims his prize from Anubis, access to the maze of Ith.

ROUND TWO
Anubis starts this round out with his elite vanguard. It gets in a few hits before being joined by a stormfront pegasus. Apep summons a tribe of brassclaw orcs. Anubis continues his aggressive assault, knowing that the cowardly orcs will flee from his forces. The brassclaw orcs counter attack, and Apep desperately signs in blood to try to find an answer. Anubis' forces never let up and are joined by a dawnstrike paladin. Apep musters up enough mana to summon another minotaur, an Anaba bodyguard. It blocks the dawnstrike paladin during Anubis' next attack, but Anubis targets the paladin with mortal's ardor, allowing it to kill the minotaur. Apep summons a vampire from the Mephidross of Mirrodin, which blocks the pegasus in the next attack; however, the cowardly orcs don't block and Anubis comes on too strong, handily winning the round and depriving Apep of a goblin battle jester.

ROUND THREE
Apep summons an akki blizzard-herder, a goblin from the plane of Kamigawa. Anubis summons his ghost warden. Knowing that the ghost can be problematic, Apep kills it with a blast of surging flame, followed up by a quick hit from the akki. Anubis summons his palace guard to prevent more attacks from Apep, then summons a bog wraith to sneak through Apep's swamps without needing to worry about defenders. Apep summons a Sengir vampire to attack Anubis in the air. The wraith makes its first attack. Shu elite infantry join the battle on Anubis' side. The vampire hits Anubis, and is joined on the battlefield by the deathforge shaman. The bog wraith evades defenders and attacks again. Apep increases the pressure by adding the minotaur to his attacks, and the Shu gladly lay down their lives to defeat the minotaur. As the wraith continues its assault, an angelic arbiter appears on Anubis' side, more than enough to stop the vampire from attacking. Anubis then uses the word of binding to leave Apep's forces unable to defend, and boosts the morale of his own forces to swing into victory. Apep skulks away, losing another goblin, a torchrunner from the Mudbutton tribe, to Anubis.

[DMDarcs]

Game 39: Heimdall vs Hercules

ROUND ONE
Hercules summons a sunflare shaman, while Heimdall summons a venerable monk. The sunflare shaman singes Heimdall, and Hercules summons Adamaro, First to Desire. Heimdall seeks some aerial support in the form of an angel, the voice of duty. Hercules presses the attack with his creatures. The venerable monk and shaman take each other out. Hercules summons the Boldwyr heavyweights, prompting Heimdall to seek out a steam catapult. Seeking to create a stronger defense, Heimdall creates a shield sphere, and lets his angel start attacking. A glarewielder joins Hercules forces but makes no attack. While Heimdall's angel attacks in the air, a mirror golem with protection from creatures is created. Kessig Malcontents throw a pitchfork at Heimdall as they enter the battlefield with a goblin sky raider. The Voice of Duty continues the aerial assault. Nath's Elite, a force of elves from Lorwyn, join Hercules on the field. A fledgling griffin joins Heimdall's forces while the angel continues to fight Hercules in the air. It all comes to a head quickly when Nath's elite lures all of Heimdall's forces away, and Hercules's warriors develop a shared animosity for Heimdall. As victory, Hercules banishes Heimdall's knight errant from his forces.

ROUND TWO
Heimdall starts off by drinking some sacred nectar. Hercules summons a fire juggling goblin, while Heimdall creates an angelic wall. The fire juggler starts wounding Heimdall, and Herculs tries to incite some more of that shared animosity. Heimdall counters with a battle hurda. The fire juggler continues to damage Heimdall, and is joined on the field by elven riders. Heimdall summons a veteran cavalier. Hercules' entire force attacks Heimdall, and the angelic wall begins a long time role of blocking the elven riders. A giant from Lorwyn, a lunk errant, joins Hercules, while a Talus paladin joins Heimdall. The elven riders let out a gorilla war cry and sneak past the angelic wall for a quick hit. A glarewielder on Hercules' side further distracts Heimdall's forces -- elven riders get by the wall, and his fire juggler lobs enough fire at the Talus paladin to take it out. An Alaborn trooper joins Heimdall, and the lunk errant is convinced to follow the path of peace. Balduvian war-makers pick up the spot vacated by the giant. Hercules continues the assault, but Heimdall's battle hurda gets the jump on the fire juggler while the elven riders continue to be stymied. The Voice of Duty appears to help Heimdall by attacking Hercules in the air. Hercules has a second fire juggler appear, while Heimdall is joined by a second Talus paladin. The fire juggler yet again triumphs over the Talus paladin. Hercules then summons The Lady of the Mountain. His fire juggler is yet again unlucky, this time being taken out by the Alaborn. Heimdall summons a pilgrim's eye to create another blocker. Hercules finally tires of combat and simply disintegrates Heimdall, taking the Norse god's mirror golem away as spoils.

I'm going to need to do 2 of these a days to get everything done by my timetable. So here goes!

Game 40: Ares vs. Imhotep
ROUND ONE
Imhotep summons a shapesharer, a changeling form the plane of Lorwyn. Ares brings out a Vulshok sorcerer from the plane of Mirrodin, who strikes out with a bolt of fire immediately. As god of medicine, Imhotep immediately offers the changeling Orim's cure, saving it from death. The shapesharer then copies the sorcerer, countering with a fire bolt to kill the sorceress. Ares summons Balthor the Stout, a legendary dwarven warrior, and infuses it with deviant glee. Imhotep creates an oblivion ring, exiling the dwarf, and starts to attack with the shapesharer. Ares tries rending Imhotep's skull directly, dealing some damage and causing the Egyptian god to forget a few connections with the land. The shapesharer continues its attack, and Imhotep adds a leonin squire to his forces. Ares tries to summon a desert drake, but Imhotep cancels the spell. With the leonin joining the attack, the shapesharer begins to copy it in battle. Ares musters up the mana to summon the patron of the Akki, the goblin god of Kamigawa, but Imhotep removes its soul. Infantry veteran join Imhotep's assault. Ares manages to summon up a spellgorger barbarian to defend, but it isn't enough. As victory, Imhotep banishes a ridgeline rager from Ares' forces.

ROUND TWO
Imhotep leads out with his infantry veteran. A quick attack comes from the soldier, and is then joined by a kithkin greatheart. Ares summons his Vulshok sorcerer, who immediately kills the kithkin. The infantry continues the attack, and is joined by a militant monk, which is again immediately killed by the sorcerer. The infantry veteran continues the attack. Ares summons a gristle grinnner, a zombie from the Ice Age era of Dominia. Imhotep summons his shapesharer, expecting its immedite death. Ares waits until the opportunity is right, then has his sorcerer kill the infantry veteran, strengthening the zombie for Ares' first mighty attack. A frost ogre then joins Ares's forces. When it joins the attack, the sorcerer tries to pick off the shapesharer. It instead assumes the form of a frost ogre and trades with the (real) frost ogre while the zombie gets in for more damage. To add insult to injury (and more injury), Ares uses his vampiric touch on Imhotep and summons Balthor the Stout. Imhotep creates the debtors' knell, hoping to start returning the dead to his battlefield. Ares, however, incites the gristle grinner with screaming fury and equips it and the sorcerer with blades of Velis Vel. This temporary weaponry infuses them with barbaric tendencies which Balthor incites, leading Ares to tromp over Imhotep and banish the leonin squire from Imhotep's recruits.

ROUND THREE
Imhotep again leads out with the first creature, this time a lion from Jamuraa won in his previous game. Ares summons a vault skirge, a nasty imp from New Phyrexian. Imhotep summons up a wall of air to block this threat. Ares summons an intimidating bladetusk boar. He then tries to terminate the wall of air, but Imhotep cancels the spell. The boar attacks past the wall, drawing first blood. The wall is finally destroyed when Ares disintegrates it. Imhotep uses his gigadrowse to put Ares's forces to sleep. Imhotep tries to uncover clues as to how to win this battle, but is unsuccessful. He again puts Ares' forces to sleep, but Ares merely adds the gristle grinner back to his forces. Imhotep summons a guiding spirit, and convinces the bladetusk boar towards betrayal. Ares throws a blaze at the guiding spirit and attacks with all of his forces. When the zombie loses its strength, Ares only attacks with his evasive creatures. He attempts to summon Balthor the Stout, but Imhotep frazzles the spell. Imhotep seeks out three wishes; the only one that is granted is an oblivion ring, exiling the boar. Ares mounts a full attack, willing to let his zombie trade with the lion. He rends Imhotep's skull, almost finishing the battle. A tavern swindler guarantees that Imhotep won't survive the last round. Ares removes a harrier griffin from Imhotep's recruits and walks away victorious.

Hestia summons a Capashen templar. Artemis' ancient treefolk starts strengthening Hestia's forces, but the hunt goddess shows no worries.
