Game 1
Szigeti started off with
Crypt Creeper, while Baberowski played his first creature in a fourth turn
Aven Cloudchaser, which blocked and traded with the Creeper.
Petravark took out Baberowski's only plains, and a
Peek revealed
Skeletal Scrying,
Faceless Butcher, and two Cripping Fatigues in Szigeti's hand. The German could only respond with "That's pretty impressive". Baberowski brought out an
Aven Windreader which was taken out by the Butcher, and
Hydromorph Gull died to
Crippling Fatigue. Monsters were falling out of the sky left and right, while Szigeti's creatures kept attacking for damage. Baberowski summoned
Dreamwinder, and Szigeti played
Chainflinger.
Breakthrough got Baberowski ahead a few cards, but Szigeti definitely had the edge on tempo.
Chainflinger shot the
Dreamwinder, Fatigue finished the job, and another four points of damage came through. Baberowski came back with some blockers, but Szigeti played
Caustic Tar, commenting, "It's a blue/white nightmare." Baberowski conceded soon after. The game lasted about six minutes total.
Szigeti- 1 Baberowski- 0
Game 2
Baberowski mulliganed his opening hand, proclaiming that it was the fifth one today.
Peek revealed
Caustic Tar,
Dusk Imp,
Sonic Seizure, and
Petravark. Baberowski said, "That's more like a hand I'd rather see" but Szigeti noted "It's still not bad." The
Dusk Imp came into play turn three, and Baberowski brought out
Hydromorph Guardian.
Petravark took out one of Baberowski's lands, and an
Aven Smokeweaver would have been a problem if not for Szigeti using
Crippling Fatigue twice to kill it.
Hydromorph Gull was summoned but died to
Thermal Blast, and
Petravark traded with the Guardian, leaving
Dusk Imp as the only creature on the table. Baberowski then played
Compulsion.
Szigeti now went for it, playing Caustic Tar. Baberowski would need to cycle into an answer to the enchantment, or die trying. He played Aven Windreader to stop the Dusk Imp, but it died to Sonic Seizure. Meanwhile, Szigeti added more pressure with a second Dusk Imp. Baberowski had an Angelic Wall, but Szigeti simply added insult to injury with a Butcher, and took the game.
Final Result: Szigeti- 2 Baberowski- 0
