		<description><![CDATA[burt: In hindsight, I still think that going to 2 counters was the best choice. With Crucible of Worlds, I could essentially 2 for 1 him every turn, and considering his deck plays a larger percentage of non-permanent spells, it was likely that he would either run out of lands or permanents to cast before the Smokestack would start to hurt me (every card I draw is a permanent). His deck plays only 18 lands, but he was able to play a land on nearly every turn with the help of only 1 Brainstorm. The double Stifle was also nearly impossible to predict. Stifle is not commonly played in Classic, and certainly even less so as anything more than 1-2x. Credit to EpsilonMinus for the well played and built deck. I think Stifle is underplayed in Classic, but truthfully, it&#039;s really only good is Delver style Tempo decks, like the one that EpsilonMinus played.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the comments!

Coffeegorilla: I didn&#039;t give the Steel Hellkite +1 because the mana was yellow, meaning it was still counting Workshop &quot;cast artifact only mana&quot;. It&#039;s one of the quirks of playing MTGO in that it is nearly impossible to use Workshop mana 100% correctly. I think if I clicked on the Chalice first, then tapped the Crypt it *might* have worked, but I&#039;m still not sure.

High_Gene: I probably should have put some written comments in regarding Match 2. I admit that M2G1 was kind of bizarre, having been blown out by the two Stifles was really tilting, but I&#039;m not sure how I would&#039;ve won that game other than to have predicted the second Stifle and sac&#039;ing my Smokestack before that would happen. As far as G2 is concerned, I still think I had about a zero % chance to win that match. My deck is not fast and winning 2 games in 12 minutes is difficult, which was made even more so when I had to mull to 4. The only reason I was in that game is because my opponent had some of the worst draws in history (no land and no counter spells). The turn 1 Mana Crypt play was really loose, but I still probably would&#039;ve lost G3 since he had the clock advantage and could just virtually F6 to win. Either way, it was a bad match for me all around. Hope you watch the remaining rounds since they were much better on my part, though not without some mistakes.]]></description>
