(6 players, bit lower than usual, but everyone seems to get ready for worlds. And BG's aren't that much of a priority anyways.)

I'm running a Everlasting WotF.
Other decks are Gyro, Ryno, Emek and two secret decks that I'm not allowed to spill anything about. You'll see them at Worlds instead. ;)

There will be no decklists unless the players decided to show them, which I doubt. ;)

Round 1. Everlasting vs. Secret Deck.

I can say like this at least. Wub, Taste, Brittilize, EotS and hero flip worked so well against this deck that I never went past 20 damage on my hero. Went 2-0. Win Win.

However, I do want to note that this is not an easy win for me, just a single wrong play and I'm usually dead before I know it. But I've met that tech so many times now that I'm starting to learn how to handle it. Be ready for a surprise however.

Round 2. Everlasting vs. Gyro. (Running against Sweden's highest ranking player if I'm not mistaken.)

Roll of the die and he gets it, choosing to start. I can't really use Wub against this deck so I rather go first to get some rush in, which my deck can do pretty well. Dubbel Stab in the Dark kinda ruins my whole game, no allies, no game.. loss.

In with Whiteout and Spell S. and this game quickly turned around, turn 1 and 2 a Farrum hit the table with a Taste for gromble, turn 3 Whiteout. After that there were a very close battle all the way but I managed to keep control and a well timed Mana Ruby into a blizzard at turn 14 to clear the table won me the game by beating him to death turn 15 with a Wub for last damage.

He started again, but into a mulligan and I drew a gold hand against his deck basically but without Farrum. He doesn't play much the first turns while I go turn 1 Uncataloged into a Voran, turn 2 voran. He gets Stab and sees my hand of Ruby, Denial, Dethvir, Sivandra, Wub and Last Barov, takes a while before he tosses Sivandra. Turn 3, Sivandra from the top, into play, another Sivandra hits my hand. We're at like turn 8-9 and he's taken control of the table, time gets called. He got like 22 damage and I got 1, table is clear except for my Whiteout, he drops an Adam before giving up, no way he could out damage me in two turns and I win by time. 2-1 Loss Win Win.

Round 3. Everlasting vs. Emek (One of my worst matchups, imo.)

Roll of the die, he goes first and I know I'm basically dead from the start, got nothing main-deck against his horrible combo. It basically goes Terror, Divinity (board wipe), Sivandra, Searing Light, Gavel hits the table turn 5 as expected and I got no way to take care of it. I drop a Sivandra, his turn and he fries me for 24 lethal damage. Bad mojo that deck..

So yea, the whole sideboard goes in except Whiteout, x4 Everlasting, x1 Denial and x2 Wubs goes out. I know that Wub sucks against WotF which I'm up against, but both my flip and Spell S. helps me against that. I start.. pull my starting hand and see Farrum, Farrum, Voran, Deathvir, Taste, Uncataloged and Blizzard.. can hardly get any better. T1 Farrum, Soup on his side, T2 Drew a Proving Ground, plays Farrum, his turn he drops a Glad. Skumm. T3 a new Farrum from the top, play Farrum and beats his hero more, blizzard goes as a resource, he drops a Sivandra which gets tasted, tried to attack Farrum with Skumm, ofc I protect. I keep playing dudes one after another and with triple Farrum and no answers, the win goes quickly. Woot, I love playing mage rush.

Last round, he starts and I have no quest or allies after a mulligan, but I think some god liked me as I pull exactly what I need every turn, can't really put on any threat, but some well placed cards keeps the table clean all the way and I slowly hurt him more and more. We're at turn 8 or something where I'm nervous as hell as he hasn't pulled any of his four disperse magic and I've only managed to Supress his Gavel. I've been sitting with Kimble since round 3 and my turn 9 I drop him, tosses a voran to take care of the Gavel before he can respond with something silly. He's 2 damage from being dead and he clears my table with two Divinity a Terror and one of his Searing. I draw a Ruby, nothing on the Ruby to help me, down with a Wub, no resources left, nothing on his side except Undercity which heals him. I drop dubbel deathvir, last barov and nothing.. he heals more, clears one deathvir and my turn, new Ruby, wub, blizzard and britillize.. Game. 2-1 Loss Win Win. :)

3-0 For the Mage. I just love playing my deck. It's very slightly different from other Everlasting WotF decks, but I feel my version suits myself a little bit better. And yea, should have better notes, but I'm just typing this for fun anyways.

Well.. there you have it. Fun matches and it's the first BG in ages I've won, these guys aren't easy to beat and I hope those of you that meet them in Worlds have a great time playing. Unfortunately I can't afford it, so I didn't even bother to qualify. Good luck and have fun all, may the best player win.

Sounds like Orcs.  Possibly a Warrior variation.  Possibly a Priest alliance aggro?  I haven't seen an ally aggro deck but I heard one is out there.

Brag: never been banned.

Congratulations Mr. Jack Fejer for getting engaged (:D!!!) and possibly making Day 2 Worlds. Still not entirely sure which is more of a miracle.
