Phil 2 - 0 Ross
On the play Phil names Mox Pearl and wins.  On the draw he names Talon Trooper, bounces Glint Hawk and wins.

Phil 1 - 1 Thom

On the play Thom leads with the rack.  Phil can't race it with meddling mage, so next turn Phil can cast Chronomaton and Phil can't use Karakas to bounce it because then the rack kills him.  Or if Phil doesn't Leyline Thom casts T1 Chronomaton and kill him that way.  On the draw T1 meddling mage on The Rack wins for Phil.

On the play Phil names Mana Crypt and Mage beats Ravager. On the draw resolve Mox through Golem, Tom takes 3 (17) Phil takes 5 (15) make Ravager sac Mana Crypt, resolve Mage naming Golem, Phil takes 7 (8), do nothing, Phil bounces Golem, Golem sac'ed to Ravager, do nothing, Ravager attacks and is bounced.

Simon 2 - 0 Ross
Simon kills both of Ross' creatures and kills at his leisure.

Simon 0 - 2 Thom

Simon can't play out scepter because then Thom casts The Rack and Wastelands him the next turn.  So Thom casts The Rack then follows up with Chronomaton.  Simon can't make scepter and kill it in the same turn so Thom leaves up Wasteland and beats down with a 1/1.

karakas only bounces creatures so Phil's results are wrong.

[Thom Richardson]

i think I beat simon play or draw.

He can't play out scepter because then I cast the rack and then wasteland him the next turn. 

So I cast the rack. Then follow up with Chronomaton, simon can't make scepter and kill it in the same turn so I leave up wasteland and beat down with a 1/1

Against phil

On the play I lead with the rack.  He can't race it with meddling mage, so next turn I can cast cronomaton and he can't use karakas to bounce it because then the rack kills him.

Or if Phil doesn't leyline I cast T1 cronomaton and kill him that way.

On the draw T1 meddling mage on the rack wins for phil.

[Thom Richardson]

Simon beats Phil on the play with T1 scepter.  MM doesn't stop the copies.  

Phil on the play is a draw. T1 MM on scepter but can't kill through elixer.

Charlie v Phil is a draw. Charlie can make chalice for 0 but cant win through karakas.
