THE FINAL COUNTDOWNNNNNNNN!

/End sing

Yes, followers of the challenge, the last color has finally arrived. This whole damn thing was started back in May, and for mainly real life reasons it has kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed. So it's nice to be hitting the halfway mark. Since black has the most decks and I can't get them all finished off tonight, I am going to do the first round(at least) tonight and update this as I go. That way it could almost qualify as exciting!

12 Black decks entered:

pauper-infect-insomnia-version by Balthasar
The Darkness by mafteechr
swampskater by pookypuppy6
commoners-poison by CelticCataphract
myr-squad-black by birdseed
Vampauper Swampmakers by kataris
vampumpers by arobidoux
Pauperfect by SwiftDeath (Formerly crazykillsftw)
Common Vamps by malekor
velvet-vendetta by TristanTaylorsVoice
black pauper in 3d by nghekman
swamp-sickness-pauper by Wakleon

With the first round done, you can see the ROFLstomping happened in the first 3 matches and became more even in the later goings. By FAR the funnest matchup to playtest was Pauper Infect VS Pauperfect. So. Much. Fun.

Myr Squad continues to thump everything put into it's way and it gets the bye. Vendetta looks very impressive as well and got mana screwed in the game it lost. Darkness has had the most even match ups so far but seems to find that extra umph to put it past. Let's see how the Semis go:

Darkness definitely gave Vendetta a run. In the third and final game there was a stalemate and Vendetta drew a clutch Vault Skirge on turn 12 and just pulled away.

THE FINALS:

Myr Squad wins! Myr squad wins! Perilous Myr is the champ of this deck and set it apart during the competition and this deck is one of the more unique black decks so it is a worthy winner. Congrats!

Here are the 5 color winners:

White: Village Commoners by Jarrod_0067
Red: Red Pauper CATASTROPHE! by zandl
Green: For Rest by zerotimestatechamp
Blue: Mono-Blue Pauper Challenge by Gennair
Black: myr-squad-black by birdseed

Congrats to the winners and my sincere thanks to everyone who submitted a deck into the challenge! The round robin portion of the tournament will begind shortly. I am taking a week vacation in early August so stay closely tuned to the fine articles of this fine website for the first round!

Enjoy the deckbuilding folks.

Glad to see this tournament is making progress. Go For Rest!

Now I only wonder whatever happened to KrazyCaley...

Looking through the lineup gives me an uneasy feeling. For Rest was the biggest baddest troll in the jungle. It's going to find those tangled vines freeing after these control decks get a hold of it. Farewell sweet prince.

Exciting stuff... can't wait for the next round where colors compete against one another. You using top two from each category for an ultimate tourney show down? Or just top decks all around? Top two would make for a nice 10 deck pool, so no bye's necessary... just a thought.

I think he tests each winning deck against each other winning deck, so there wouldn't be a bye anyways.

So I had done the first round but the word file ended up getting corrupted, so I have to re-do it ><.

Have no fears, it should be up tomorrow.
