NimNams (Dream Puppets) defeats Squinter (Crosswinds) 2 to 1.

Game 1
I chose an awful hand to start with, getting completely mana flooded from outset. Still, Squinter played a very smart game, using his Panoptic Mirror to devestating effect. I could never get a rhythm going with that damn card in play. Good game, man.

Game 2
Things were going my way until the very end, when Squinter cast a kicked Rite of Replication on my Chancellor of the Spires , giving him a huge creature advantage. By pure luck, I had my second Chancellor of the Spires in hand, as well as two Clones . With his Time Warp in the graveyard, I was able to stall long enough to play some creature control, allowing me to slide in for the eventual win.

Game 3
Unlike the first game, I had a GREAT rhythm in this one, running the board for most of the game with my control cards and quickly-beefed Jace's Phantasm . This was one of those blessed games where I always drew exactly what I needed, when I needed it.

Great games, man! Blue v. Blue is an interesting match-up, and it really left me unsure of how game 2 was going to turn out - especially when my Sword of Body and Mind got milled. If I had lost game 2, I'd probably be drinking heavily right now.

Great games, mate.

Game 1
I knew that if I could get the Panoptic Mirror comboed with Repulse I'd be in good shape. Once I got that, Talrand, Sky Summoner coupled with Archaeomancer and a Cancel I could recycle each turn, I knew there wasn't much that you could do.

Game 2
My god, I had to mulligan down to 4-5 cards which put me behind the entire game. Future Sight saved my skin when it revealed the Rite of Replication . I wanted to get out the Mirror/Time Warp combo but I knew you'd beat me next round. Thought I had it till I saw your second  Chancellor of the Spires grab my timewarp. Doh!

Game 3
Went perfectly for you.... I thought I'd have a chance when I had Bribery and Archaeomancer in hand, especially after you used so many Roils and return to hand cards. Didn't think you'd also have a Dream Fracture and another Aether Adept ! Ugh. I should have played another card instead, just in case.

Well played. 

I did record the match... although I'm pretty new to the game and I don't know how confident I am about people seeing how noob I am haha :P

And how on earth did your sword get milled playing against Talrand if you are running a control build? Take the muses out!

When I kicked my Rite of Passage onto his Chancellor, I used the 2 Thought Scour's in his graveyard haha :P (he didn't have anything else I could use)

Great video, man! The commentary's perfect - especially with the British accent. An accent makes any commentary gripping.
