Final Match Coverage. Special thanks to Emil Landman for mostly writing down what Arthur was drawing and stuff.
Menno wins the early game (aka the die-roll), and chooses to start.
He draws: Black Lotus, Mana Drain, Dark Citadel, Thirst for Knowledge, Underground Sea, Mox Ruby, Goblin Welder.
Arthur draws: Volcanic Island, Mox Jet, Goblin Welder, Mox emerald, Mox Ruby, Mishra's Workshop, Black Lotus.
They both decide to keep this.
Game1:
Menno drops the citadel and ruby, and plays Welder. He then drops the Lotus and passes the turn.
Arthur draws Crucible, plays Shop and the crucible. After some deliberation, Menno decides to Drain it, taking 1 mana burn in the process.
Arthur then drops his Ruby and Lotus, and plays his Welder, and then passes the turn.
Menno draws Ancestral, plays his Sea, and burns for 3 from his Drain mana. Arthur draws a Volcanic and plays it. At the end of Arthurs turn,
Menno plays Ancestral, drawing Welder, Drain and TFK.
Menno draws blood moon, and passes the turn. Arthur draws Volcanic Island, and plays it together with his MOx Emerald
At the end of that turn, Menno plays Thirst for Knowledge, drawing Will, TFK and Welder. The discards Welder + Blood Moon.
Menno then draws Mox Jet, and plays it. Arthur welders his Emerald into a Crucible. During Athurs upkeep, Menno welders Arthurs Crucible into a Mox Emmy.
Arthur draws Memory Jar, plays Mox Jet and the Jar. Menno plays his TFK, and draws fouble fow and Sea, discarding Sea and Welder.
Arthur uses his Jar: Menno draws: Brainstorm, 2x Volcanic Island, Island, Welder, Tinker, Darksteel Citadel.
Arthur draws Volcanic, 2 Smokestack, Uba Mask, Triskelion, Workshop and Time Walk. He drops the shop, casts Time WAlk, Uba Mask. Eot he welds his Emmy for the Trike, and shoots mennos Welder.
During his timewalk turn Arthur welds in his Jar again, but Menno just scoops it up.
Sideboarding:

Out: Thirst for Knowledge, Fact or Fiction, 2 Blood Moon, Mindslaver, Brainstorm, Cunning Wish, Mystical Tutor

Game2:
Menno keeps this hand: Tinker, Mox Jet, Mox Pearl, Sea, Lotus, Brainstorm, Old man of the Sea
Arthur Keeps Trinisphere, 2 Flooded Strand, Mana Crypt, Tangle Wire, Trike and Thirst for Knowledge.
Menno plays his Lotus, 2 Moxen, sacs the Lotus for UUU, tinkers the Pearl into a Sundering Titan, drops the Sea and plays Old man of the Sea. How insane!
Arthur draws a Ruby, plays Flooded Strand, Mana Crypt, Ruby and Drops a Tangle Wire.
Menno brainstorms during his upkeep before tapping his board, into Flooded Strand, Mox Emerald and Demonic Tutor. He keeps the Fetchland and draws the Demonic.
Arthur takes Crypt Damange, and draws a smokestack. He tapped his Wire, Mox and Fetchland. The plays another Fetchie for Volcanic, to cast TFK. He draws Tangle Wire, TFK and Volcanic, discarding Trike.
Menno taps his Old man, Jet and Sea, draws Mox Emerald. He plays the mox and attacks with the Titan. He fetches a Sea and Tutors for Mana Drain.
Arthur taps his Wire + Fetchland, and draws Ancestral Recall. He plays it, and draws TFK, Mox Sapphire and Wasteland. He drops the Sapphire, and wastes Mennos Sea. He drops his 2nd Tangle Wire as well. He again took Crypt damage.
Menno draws a Titan, and taps everything.
Arthur draws Mox Pearl after taking crypt damage again and tapping his 2 wires, fetchie and Mox Ruby, and plays a Thirst into Strand, Mox Jet and Academy, discarding Volcanic and Fetchland. He plays his Jet and Pearl, and another TFK, drawing into Moskestakc, Crucible and Ancient Tomb.
He discards Smokestack, and plays Academy. With an Academy for 7, he plays Smokestack + Crucible.
Menno taps everything but his Titan, draws a Mox and attacks for the win.
The score is 1-1, and neither player changes his sideboard strategy. They use the shuffling time
to work out a split so that Arthur gets the LoA regardless, and that me and Menno (who had a 50/50 split) would
get money. Arthur still needed a LoA, so he was eager to make a deal, and a reasonable deal was made by exchanging the Berserk for Cash at the store.
However, somebody still had to actually win the match
