Postgame Report: Quarterfinals Week 6

Upsets! Upsets everywhere! Which favorite to win actually held on? Then read on! in this weeks...





Quarterfinals Match 1: TNNB VS Rad Man
TNNB won the toss and that honestly counted for most of what it wanted to do right there. When Rad-Man held its preferred initiatives it managed to take a game but this was the TNNB show. 
First blood: Rad-Man.
Final: TNNB  ELIMINATES  Rad Man
  2 games to 1


Quarterfinals Match 2: Anti-Matter VS Spider-Stall
 Slipstream proves to be too much too soon as Anti-Matter uses this matchup as a resume demonstrating its consistency (or luck, depending on perspective) into a control matchup, refusing to drop a single game to the potent stall.
First Blood: Anti-Matter
Final: Anti-Matter  ELIMINATES  Spider-Stall
2 games to 0



Quarterfinals Match 3: Migga City VS Fantastic Fun 2.0
Migga City is one of those decks that just seems to give you everything you want. It bricks beautifully, and easily fields a nearly complete collection of meta answers to a myriad of matchups. With easy and relatively quick access to both Rogue on 4 and Scarlet Witch on 5, it might be easy to expect a fairly easy win here.
As it turns out however, Fantastic four swinging offensively under a Child lock can do some pretty decent damage. And Flamethrower is not an activated effect. These facts were ridden harder than baby's first trike to consecutive wins.
First Blood: Migga City
Final: Migga City  ELIMINATED BY  Fantastic Fun 2.0
2 games to 0



Quarterfinals Match 4: Wolverine Direct VS Captain Italy
With a fairly easy win in game 1 it looked like this one was going to go exactly as predicted, with a 2-0 advance. However, after an unlikely win on a game that stretched farther into turn 5 than Wolvie would have preferred, it turns out Captain Italy can win on 4 too! In an insane come-from behind series of miracle draws to end the deciding game with a score of -1 to 0. All riding on the back of a single Captain swing.
First Blood: Wolverine Direct
Final: Wolverine Direct  ELIMINATED BY  Captain Italy
2 games to 1
