This stuff was intense!
Great games 10 men. I thought I was going to be trounced by you since you beat SnoWeb, but phew, I survived. XD
I'll post my decks later, but in the meanwhile...Decks (w/commentaries):

The combination of massive healing with increased health suppressed the neurotoxin a bit, and I managed to get my first win.

I played the Cloak cautiously to avoid his Rewinds (while using mine to force him to replay his ghosts), then decided to steal both his Eternity and Permafrost Shield once they popped out. Another cloak appeared in my hand so that I could chain them, and by the end, I successfully managed to ignore most of his single-target CC while stealing his most vital permanents (as seen above).

cards I needed (mainly, Fire Buckler) out onto the field when I needed them most. He pummeled me easily with his Water-Time deck that used the previous round, despite my efforts to delay the match with SoD's.

deck proved fatal; Discord decided that his ghosts and other cards were unworthy of being played, so I laid out my creatures liberally and managed to hit him down for a final win.
...too bad this doesn't matter since 10 men won the sudden death tie-breaker. ^^; Oh well. Good games again!
