Match-ups for Round 2 of the Ultimate Boros Guild Challenge!


Gather round children, fore it is time to witness the publication of the match-ups for round 2.

The preliminary round 1 has been played out and now we're moving on to the Best of three matches between the remaining contestants!

A lot of interesting builds have been submitted, and I can say that I'm impressed with the originality, diversity, and efficiency of the decks!

For the matches I've enlisted the help of dberg101 so we should all thank him heartily as he will help speed up the process of finding the Guild Representative for Boros.

As killroy726 has already received a BYE! in this tournament, he was ineligible to receive another, and thus is represented in the first match-up.


Matches to be played in round 2:


psychoza (Storm the Front) versus killroy726 (The Boros Brigade)

exarkun809 (Challenge Accepted, Boros) versus KingSorin (The Boros Guild Challenge)

dcarpntr (dcarpntrs-ultimate-boros) versus sewellius (Sunforged Fury)

lorddeox (Boros Skirmishers) versus CaveShinobi (Righteous Rushin')

Heloed (soroboros-1) versus numa529 (Boros Control)

Supersun (Boros Bull****) versus EpicureanHorn (Boros Control)

DEREKGALLEN (MADCAP HYSTERIA) versus Nox.LD (legion-of-might)

Droxium (boros-challenge-deck) versus Darkness1835 (Boros Guild Challenge)

GureiSeion (UGC: While the Legion's Away) versus piedok (boros-aggro-what-is-that)

Rewdog (iron-fist-of-the-legion) versus Jimhawk (the-tactics-of-war)

LittleBlueHero (Swiftblade Initiative) versus Riceeman (Twisted Firestarter)

TheLameSauce (Concerted Boros) versus Arrzarr (Order in the ranks)

Lavan (rtr-block-boros-1) versus adaptivesnapjaw (Boros Aggro )

8bitJesus (security-detail-boros-challenge) versus BYE!


That's it for this article! Spy out each other's decks and bite your fingernails to the ground, wondering whether or not your deck would win!

As always, comments are always welcome. If you have suggestions, kudos' (kudii?) and/or criticism, don't be afraid to leave it below; I won't cry for too long, even if you decide to talk smack about my vegetable garden!

See you around!

No, i really don't trust your deadline dates, you just aren't trustworthy, especially with a vegetable garden! anyways, i thought that you put the decks onto cockatrice, and playtested them from there. if not, i will try and come to an exact copy. but be warned, my memory is failing by the minute, and i don't think i can't even remember the $ limit.

@MonsterFinder221: Thank you for the interest, unfortunately, the deck signups is way back, and I'm no longer accepting submissions. The two guilds that have been done/are underway are Golgari and Boros. You're more than welcome to join in for another challenge a little ways down the road! :-)

October 15, 2013 10:37 a.m.

What exactly is this? Like, are you guys playing them against each other, or what? Kuz I'd be down to subject my deck for the Rakdos challenge.

GureiSeion says... #5

@piedok - Oh great, the one deck I didn't want to face. ;p

TheLameSauce says... #6

Order in the ranks looks freaking tough...not looking forward to this matchup...

October 15, 2013 6:54 p.m.

piedok says... #7

@GureiSeion- ... wow, of course the control decks are matched up. Honestly, the deck i didn't want to play against is the one i play against... eh w/e GL gureiseion

October 15, 2013 6:54 p.m.

GureiSeion says... #8

@piedok ~ Ditto. I have a big feeling that it'll come down to who first gets out / keeps Assemble the Legion , and include some absurd Angel of Serenity fighting.

October 15, 2013 7:12 p.m.

Supersun says... #9

Ouch, it looks like piedok's deck may counter Gurei's more then the other way around.

I can't say who is going to win though, but I can say who is going to lose.

Dallie for having to put up with the slow grindy matches these 2 decks are going to produce lol.

@ArmMeForSleep709: It's the Ultimate Guild Challenge, and we're at Boros right now. The last guild was Golgari, and I'm planning to go through all 10 guilds.

Stay tuned or check out my profile, where you can find links for the intro articles for each guild so far. They can probably be of some help! :)

@Supersun: I am almost as blue as KrazyCaley, so Control is going to be fun. But even then. The Sadism required to play control might not be -as- fun when it's directed against myself.

@Droxium: Check out the articles on my profile, you can find the rules in those.

sewellius says... #12

Darn, my deck's matchup doesn't seem to rely much on artifact/enchantments like I was hoping. That means I'll probably have a few dead draws in the games.

Changes to the tournament: Unfortunately Droxium has deleted his deck on T/O and haven't resubmitted it within the given deadline, so he drops from the tournament.

Due to fairness in the BYE! system, Darkness1835 advances to the next round with a 2-0 record, and all other matches are played out as normally.

October 18, 2013 1:26 p.m.

Darkness1835 says... #14

Get at me. But seriously, always sad to see matches decided like that.

Dallie says... #15

Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long, but unfortunately this week is very cramped by assignments for university, so I am unable to move the challenge along before sometime towards the end of the week / next week.

Just a heads up.

TheLameSauce says... #16

So... How goes it?

October 29, 2013 1:17 p.m.

Dallie says... #17

I'm about halfway there.

October 29, 2013 3:17 p.m.

TheLameSauce says... #18

Cool. I'm really excited to see these results!

October 29, 2013 5:31 p.m.

KingSorin says... #19

When do you expect to hVe the next guild challenge up? I don't want to miss it. All you need to do is add 1 year to when you expect to have it up and we should be about right for the deadline... after I add another year to your estimate :)

Dallie says... #20

As you might know, I enlisted some help from dberg101 to play out some of the matches, once he submits his part of the matches, I'll put it all together and publish it :)
