Round 4: Feature Match 3 _ Eric Hoffman vs. Andy Nixon
Game 1:
Andy starts things off with a Basking Rootwalla, and Eric replies only with Mountain. Andy’s attempt to Rancor his Rootwalla, however, meets a lightning bold, netting Eric a nice 2-for-1. Andy makes another one, though. Eric plays a Wild Mongrel on his second turn. Andy tries for the ol’ Rancor trick again, and this time, Eric can do nothing but block with his Mongrel and discard, pump, trade. Eric puts a Joreal’s Centaur into play and passes. From here, Andy continues to play lands, but gets no other spells. Eric casts creatures and eats away at Andy’s life total. A last second Pygmy Razorback isn’t enough to stop the hurt, and Andy concedes.

Game 2:
Andy starts again, but Eric speaks first with a turn one Granger Guildmage. Andy play a Mongrel on his turn, to which Eric has no reply. Andy Rancors his dog, which prompts an Incinerate from Eric in response. Any discard-pumps his Mongrel with two Lightning Bolts. Andy then attacks and loses his Mongrel to the Guildmage, who makes his final stand doing the last point of damage to the already injured dog. Andy then makes a Boa. Eric plays a Centaur on his turn, and on Andy’s turn, accepts a Rancor’ed Boa’s damage. Eric then repays two of the damage with his centaur, and drops a Boa of his own, followed by Blastoderm. With a timely Incinerate, removing Andy’s Boa, Eric is free to march on and kill Andy.
