Match 33: The Cliffs of INSANITY! -VS- BKKO

BKKO didnt miss a drop.
But INSANITY landed San on 2 scoring the infamous turn 4 Attilan.
When an Insanity list gets to search for anything it wants every turn things tend to go sideways.
This particular one ends on a potent turn 6 putting Charaxes to work with a Strykers Island for +5 and a beatdown over Ghostrider. before Scarecrow secures it with a direct swing.

The Cliffs of INSANITY!  ELIMINATE  BKKO

6 to -16

Match 34:  Secretly Wolverine -VS- Intergalactic Carpool

A completely hidden deck wiffs masterman completely. SOme Illuminati tricks kept the deck alive through 5, but after a massive Press chain into a Ronin the Accuser, starforce Wolverine could no longer berserker rage into healing factor his 22 atk for multiple shots. 2 cover fires for more def than is fSensible sealed the deal to protect Ronin and lock in the easy win.

Secretly Wolverine  ELIMINATED BY  Intergalactic Carpool

-24 to 2

Match 35:  HellKnights -VS- Outsider Protocol

A clutch negate on a reset sent Outsider Protocol into a bad situation on a potentially heavy turn 4. With a few pancakes keeping the demonspawn around long enough to score some clutch +1/+1 counters, a heavy turn 5 Kate Kane recruit triggering her effect prevented Owen Mercer from keeping his pals around defensively, while Hellboy finally finished the fate suite and swang for some dominant swings to end it early.

HellKnights  ELIMINATE  Outsider Protocol

8 to -1

Match 36:  Hulk Smash you...Yesterday -VS- IMMORTALS

Week 1, Hulk had a serious issue with hitting curve. The week mirrored that first showing with a wiff on 2 and no opportunity to get that Miek into play. However turn 5 looked threatening as hulk 5 had his KO ability online, however it wasn't his initiative, and the IMMORTALS simply over invested into a "free" charaxes swing with multiple path of destructions to enable copius swings to the visible area.

Hulk Smash you... Yesterday  ELIMINATED BY  IMMORTALS

-7 to 14

Match 37:  SHIELD of Atlantis -VS- Devourer of Speed

Devourer won the roll and called evens.
To those closely watching this one, that's all you needed to know. Had it been different, however, it's worth noting that SHIELD never saw the war Machine Armor they'd have needed to stay in it anyway. An infinite mass punch for 52 direct seals this one in favor of the Devourer.

SHIELD of Atlantis  ELIMINATED BY  Devourer of Speed

-21 to 1

Match 38:  Demons United -VS- The Swingers' Club

A potent lockdown initiative gets revoked when Spider-Man, secret avengers shuts down a clutch Crime Dr. on turn 5, leaving Demon's United unable to last through the Swingers' Club kill turn.

Demons United  ELIMINATED BY  The Swingers' Club

-12 to 19

Match 39:  Young Avengers Flight -VS- The MorMans are Coming!

The Mormans punish Young Avengers Flight for team swinging with 2 consecutive turns of backs against the wall to push through an easy win on a turn 6 initiative. A closer game than anticipated, The YAF beat the spread but lose the game.

Young Avengers Flight  ELIMINATED BY  The MorMans are Coming!

-2 to 5

Match 40: Tam'Ar Empire -VS- Skrullf*cked

A turn 3 Wolvie with all the trimmings forced the Empire to throw away their entire hand trying to mitigate Muramasa KO's, but an equally heavy turn 4, promised that hand was only going to continue suffering. Skrulls safely play their curve to 6 into a virtually empty field to end it.
Too bad Muramasa Blade isn't legal.
Skrullf*cked is disqualified.

Tam'Ar Empire  ELIMINATES  Skrullf*cked

Due to Disqualification
