This is it. The losers are out. The winners are in the top 8 cut.
Too sick to dress it up, some killer games and some gut-wrenching losses to be had here. Read on!
Match 49- Gamma Robuts -VS- Devourer of Speed
Gamma Robuts took evens from Devourer, negated in its entirety their turn 7 kill turn with a build phase mystical paralysis series, leaving the entire roster exhausted and primed for a gamma bomb on 8 thanks to latveria.
However, Devourer used a Full Throttle in tandem with Barry's ability to self ready to slam in 34 damage over a Puppet Master that couldn't be reinforced to seal the win at the 11th hour before the doom stall ran away with it. Don't let the score lull you into a false sense of an easy win, a slight formation change and the Robuts win.
Fun Fact: Boris was recruited 6 times in this game!
Robuts win the flip, But Devourer beats the point spread.

-14 to 43
Match 50- Unjust Fear -VS- The MorMans are Coming!
I'd have called this one for MorMans 10 out of 10 times, but as in every other match they played, Unjust Fear somehow found a way to shut down game plans and take the games CLOSER than anyone anticipated. -often to a win. Mormans hit the elusive Alley on 2, and that basically was the game. Burn versus a controlled stall. While the turn 7 proved to be climactic, it is worth noting that the mormans with an even initiative, never managed a swing after turn 5. not one. Dr. Light does that.
A CLUTCH stunback from a last-standed Storm thanks to a Shrapnel Blast set up a start of recovery turn that burned for 8, ultimately deciding the game.
Mormans win the flip, and the game, but Unjust Fear Beats the spread in a nail-biter.

Match 51- Gods Matter -VS- Intergalactic Carpool
Intergalactic Carpool was poised to utterly dominate on turn 5 and then 6.
The answer of course?
Just win on 4.
With a double swinging slipstream on an off initiative turn 3 and another double swinging slipstream on 4, it ended before it began for the Carpool's gameplans.
Gods Matter win the flip, win the game, and beat the spread.

22 to -4
Match 52- Crapple Jacks -VS- IMMORTALS
Crapple Jacks made a run of it. Let no-one call that into question. But it was Black Manta recycling Path of Destruction repeatedly that allowed Immortals to push through despite the turn 5 Deadpool's attempts to cancel the notable swings. Fun Fact: a recurring +8 atk on a Charaxes that enters play every turn for free, IS a notable swing.
Crapple Jacks win the roll, but IMMORTALS win the game and beat the spread.
