Continuing on from the previous boards....

Game 5: Hercules vs Freya

ROUND ONE
Hercules begins the assault by summoning a Fire Juggler, a pyromaniac goblin from the plane of Llorwyn. The goblin gets in attack before being reinforced by some Fault Riders. Freya has only been able to access links to her Mountains, but reaches out to her Rootbound Crag to access green mana. She uses this to summon an ophidian scout from the Sakura-Tribe of Kamigawa. Hercules' forces continue to attack, and the fault riders are momentarily powered with Fists of the Anvil. Freya starts to Seek the Horizons, and summons a promised kannushi. The kannushi blocks an attack from the riders as Hercules summons an enslaved goblin scout. Freya's Sakura-Tribe scout starts accessing more lands as she summons a Gruul nodorog. The enslaved scout finds hidden paths through Freya's mountains, making unblockable attacks. A few more creatures are summoned to the battlefield, but the enslaved scout leads Hercules to victory. (Hercules wins, Turn 9, 20-0)

ROUND TWO
Freya summons a Shinen of Life's Roar for a weak first attack, and follows it up with some VIthian Renegades. Hercules summons his Fault Riders, and Freya summons a Yotian Soldier. Hercules summons a Sunflare Shaman. Freya attacks with her renegades and soldier; the soldier is blocked by the fault riders, while Hercules willingly accepts some damage. Hercules hopes to foster some Shared Animosity amongst his small group of troops. Freya continues her assault, eventually summoning The Lady of the Mountain. She attacks with her whole team. Hercules' forces are drawn to fighting the shinen while the rest of Freya's troops deal massive damage to Hercules. The Sunflare shaman does unleash her Kindled Fury, killing the Shinen. Freya attacks again. Hercules tries to block the biggest threats, but is thwarted when the Yotian soldier becomes the target of GIant Growth. (Freya wins, Turn 8, 0-20).

ROUND THREE
Freya starts out by summoning Llanowar Elves, while Hercules counters with a Sunflare Shaman. Freya risks attacking with the elves; Hercules decides he doesn't want Freya to have the mana advantage and blocks the elves. A Sakura-Tribe scout replaces the elves; Hercules summons a replacement Sunflare Shaman. The Shaman attacks and is blocked by the snake scout, but the shaman's Kindled Fury takes the scout out with no damage to the shaman. Freya summons another snake, the Matsu-Tribe Birdstalker. Hercules summons Nath's Elite and wins a clash, and continues to attack with his forces. The Birdstalker dies while it takes out Nath's Elite with a Fistful of Force. It is now Hercules' turn to summon The Lady of the Mountain. Freya summons a Gruul Nodorog. Hercules summons a Glarewielder, and then swoops in for a massive amount of damage that Freya can't block. Freya summons a Shinen of Life's Roar. Hercules continues his assault. Freya makes some blocks, but a Surge of Strength from the Lady of the Mountain assures Hercules' win. (Hercules wins, Turn 8, 20-0)

Game 6: Re-Horahkty vs. Hecate

ROUND ONE
Re-Horahkty is the first to summon, bringing a Skyhunter Prowler to the field. Hecate answers with an Ana Battlemage. Re-Horahkty channels the Pulse of the Dross, causing Hecate to discard an Island. The Prowler begins steadily attacking Hecate from the air. Re creates a Staff of Domination, but Hecate infects it with a Numbing Dose, causing the Egyptian to slowly lose life. Not to be stymied, Re-Horahkty then creates a Talon of Pain, which charges with every hit from the flying cat knight. A Stuffy Doll proves even more problematic. Hecate summons a Trapjaw Selkie, followed by a Cytoplast Shambler. The Stuffy Doll begins to inflict damage to itself, simultaneously draining Hecate's life while charging up the Talon of Pain. The Shambler attacks RH, but is initially held off by a Dawn Charm. Hecate summons a Helium Squirter, and the Shambler grafts part of itself onto the shambler. The Talon has developed enough energy to take out the Squirter. Hecate Dismembers the Stuffy Doll, one of the few ways to stop it, while her Shambler starts to trample over blockers. A Brass Herald from Hecate pumps up Hecate's wizards just enough for her to secure victory. (Hecate wins, Turn 10, 0-12)

ROUND TWO
Re-Horahky brings out a Pteron Ghost, followed by the Skyhunter Prowler. A Dimir Guildmage joins Hecate. A personal favorite of mine, a Witch Hunter, joins Re-Horahkty; a Coastal Drake by Hecate soon takes out the Pteron Ghost in a sacrificial block. In what continues to happen throughout the round, Hecate summons a Helium Squirter only to have it exorcised by Re-Horahkty's Witch Hunter. Hecate's Brass Herald strengthens the Guildmage for a more powerful attack. Re-Horahkty wreaks Vengeance upon the mage and exiles the Herald with an Oblivion Ring. Re-Horahkty wins with gradual attacks from the Skyhunter Prowler, a D'Avenant Archer, and a Royal Falcon. (Re-Horahkty wins, Turn 14, 17-0)

ROUND THREE
Hecate's DImir Guildmage scores a quick hit before attacks are stopped by a Necrotic Sliver. Hecate summons a WIstful Selkie that gets in for a another hit, but Re-Horahkty mounts a good defense with the indestructible Stuffy Doll and a Shield of Kaldra. The Egyptian starts a series of attacks with a Wild Griffin. Hecate starts throwing a number of creatures onto the battlefield: a Trapjaw Kelpie, Whirlpool Rider, and Helium Squirter start to threaten Re-Horahkty. The Brass Herald again shows up to boost Hecate's wizards, and the Guildmage again dies to Vengeance. Hecate makes some huge team attacks that quickly drop Re-Horahtky's life total. She believes she has her defenses shored up, especially with a Living Airship to block fliers. Re-Horahkty sacrifices his Necrotic Sliver to take out the Airship when Hecate runs out of mana to regenerate it, and swings in for lethal damage with his griffin and Stuffy Doll. (Re-Horahkty wins, Turn 13, 10-0)

Imhotep vs Osiris

ROUND ONE
Osiris tries to start things out by summoning a Withered Wretch, but Imhotep promptly removes its soul. (Who knew zombies had souls?) Osiris then summons a Faceless Devourer. Imhotep summons a Shapesharer. Osiris enchants his Forest with Wild Growth, then grants his Devourer Unholy Strength. Imhotep's shapesharer copies the devourer for a less damaging counterattack. The faceless devourer continues to beat down, as it's shadow existence makes it unblockable by anything Imhotep can summon. Imhotep manages to ward off some of the damage with a Militant Monk, who then becomes enchanted with an Inquisitor's Magemark, making it unblockable as well. The devourer becomes the target of a Gigadrowse, preventing an attack, but Osiris soon drops the deadly Tresserhorn Skyknight. Imhotep then sends down his own Personal Incarnation. Osiris has to hold the Skyknight back to serve as a blocker. Imhotep turns the assault on full blast, with the Shapesharer copying the Personal Incarnation. (Imhotep wins, Turn 10, 3-0)

ROUND TWO
Osiris begins this round by summoning a Steel Overseer, which continues to pump itself while its owner stays stuck on mana. Osiris does manage a link to the Dark Depths, and hopes to stall long enough to summon Marit Lage's avatar. Imhotep puts the heat on by summoning a Wind Drake, which continues to evade the Steel Overseer and make steady progress in the air. Shoring up his defenses, Imhotep summons a Wall of Air. The Steel Overseer sneaks in for an attack, and later destroys the wall. However, Imhotep is in complete control of this match. He negates everything Osiris tries to do with various counterspells. Osiris eventually gets a Sylvan Yeti to the battlefield, but Imhotep's Obsianus Golem makes those attacks unfavorable. A Harrier Griffin keeps the Steel Overseer out of the fight while Imhotep's forces roll over Osiris. (Imhotep wins, Turn 12, 15-0)

[DMDarcs]

ROUND ONE
Nike starts out with a Temple Acolyte; Sobek starts out with a casting of Jace's Erasure, ensuring that Nike will slowly be driven insane. The Acolyte attacks while it will still be effective, then summons a Pearled Unicorn. Sobek summons a Hydromorph Guardian. Nike's unicorn attacks in, and is followed by the summoning of a Daraja Griffin. Sobek enchants his hydromorph guardian with an Infiltrator's Magemark, allowing it to sneak in unblocked. This leads to a massive counterattack by Nike. Sobek takes a risk by pulling out his Bottle of Suleiman. Lucky for him, it contains a djinn that will help him out. He then creates a Hurricane large enough to take out Nike's flyers but leave his djinn untouched. When the weather has settled, the djinn has already made a successful attack. Nike brings out her Plated Pegasus. [NOTE: This was probably a big misplay, and the pegasus should have come out earlier.] Nike summons a Knight of Valor. Sobek's Djinn kills the pegasus and summons an Iron-Heart Chimera. Nike attacks with her knight, and Sobek can't block it the way that he wants to, allowing it to get in for damage. Nike tries to keep the attack moving with the knight, but has to divert more and more of her resources to blocking the Djinn, even making her unicorn take a Mighty Leap to block the Djinn. Eventually the Djinn and unblockable hydromorph do Nike in. (Sobek wins, Turn 10, 0-5)

ROUND TWO
Nike starts out with an immediate Infantry Veteran, while Sobek brings out a Sage Owl. His future looks grim. Nike continues to be aggressive, bringing in an Aven Riftwatcher, Pearled Unicorn, and Temple Acolyte, boosting her own life force in the process. Short on land, Sobek takes damage from his Cephalid Coliseum to do anything at all. He does manage to get a Cephalid Looter out, which helps him get a Quiron Explorer out to gain access to more mana. Nike has continued to keep the pressure on with more creatures, however; a Knight of Valor and a Ghost Tactician have joined her forces. Sobek manages to find his Bottle of Suleiman again, and once again succesfully summons the Djinn. It is however, too late, as Nike's forces have continued to make favorable attacks, and is finally boosted with some help from an Army of Allah. (Nike wins, Turn 9, 27-0)

ROUND THREE
The battle starts out with some of our frequent players: Nike's Temple Acolyte and Sobek's Hydromorph Guardian. Nike brings some new interest with a Benalish Veteran. She then takes out the Guardian with a Sonic Seizure, clearing the field for her to attack in. Sobek isn't having much luck with creatures or spells, but does manage to cast a Jace's Erasure, and then finds a Serpent Generator. The generator pretty much is used only to create snakes to block attacks by the Benalish Veteran. Nike has an Angelic Chorus that sings her praises as she brings more creatures to the battlefield. Sobek yet again successfully summons a Djinn from his bottle, but it is slain almost immediately in battle as it kills a Phyrexian Hulk. Nike's onslaught is just too much. (Nike wins, Turn 10, 29-0)

Artemis vs Balder

ROUND ONE
Balder leads out with an Alaborn Musketeer. Artemis answers with an Elvish Pioneer with knowledge on how to get to a Swamp. Balder then slowly builds his forces, recruiting a Wizened Cenn and an Alaborn Cavalier. The Cavalier proves to be a top-notch warrior, keeping the Pioneer out of the battle. A Ghost Tactician joins Balder, while Artemis summons up a Giant Turtle. The Cavalier keeps the turtle out of battle and is willing to let the Musketeer trade with the Pioneer; the Town Sentry that joins him keeps Balder's forces flowing. The Cavalier keeps Artemis' turtle out of the way, and speeds through to victory. (Balder wins, Turn 7, 0-20)

ROUND TWO
Balder is the first to the fight with a Samite Healer, but then his Cavalier shows up again. Artemis summons a Diving Griffin. The Cavalier keeps it from blocking and leads an attack, then summons a Northern Paladin. The Griffin counteracts with an aerial assault. Artemis, worried about the forces that will build up, channels the Wrath of God, clearing the battlefield. Balder uses his Breath of Life to resurrect the Alaborn Cavalier. Artemis brings out a Daru Warchief. Balder protects himself with an Ivory Mask while has Cavalier runs circles on the battlefield. Artemis summons a Triskelion, which immediately kills the Cavalier, opening up the fields for her attacks. A Venerable Monk joins her forces. A fused casting of Alive and Well add a centaur to the goddess' forces as well as shoring up her life totals. There is no recovery for Balder. (Artemis wins, Turn 11, 24-0)

ROUND THREE
The first creatures to arrive on the battlefield are a Scholar of Athreos and Clergy of the Holy Nimbus for Artemis; Glen Elendra Pranksters and a Drake Hatchling join the forces for Balder. Artemis takes damage from the air while the Scholar drains life for her. When Artemis summons a Pale Recluse, the aerial attacks stop; when she summons an Oakgnarl Warrior the tide practically turns. Artemis definitively gains control of the battlefield after summoning a Phyrexian Swarmlord (which Balder curses with Dehydration) and a Maul Splicer, which brings a pair of trampling golems to play. Balder tries to inspire his forces with Noble Purpose, but the lifegain isn't much help. Artemis walks away with a win. (Artemis wins, Turn 12, 22-0)

This last one was really interesting to see play out, because I was convinced Hades was in for it because he really didnt have anything to deal with the big giants, but it seemed like neither the Boldwyr Intimidator or the Countryside Crusher (I love that guy) played measurable roles in the victory.

Also really interesting to see the ante cards... are you finding that the additions to the winning decks are changing them in any way?
