Active Force of will.

The girl has a White winie with Kataky, Rods and Swords...! Mhm not so easy...!

4- Italian TPS UB
Waoo! Nice finally a nice player. I know him because he's in the Garrella Team! ok let's start..
first turns...I mean that this deck isn't a combo.... but I win before him with Recoup - Yawgmoth.
Second turn he wins with a counter duress drain warr...with a bigggg yawgmoth will.
Third game... we are near time... but....I draw an heavy hand....GOOOOD. I insert colossus from side
beacuse I think it's better for win if I can in 2 turns.
Yes I did it.... I made a big tinker with ancestral and lotus the first turn...and he never do anything!
I win o the additional turns! Great
2-1 For me
----------
5- Ferloni Alberto - Gift
Ok the dice is not mine. I start second but with 3 Gifts on the first 5 turns I win completely with a biggg
fatttt Yawgmoth! The second match win my opponent with duress that destroy my hands and a final Yawgmoth.
The third match I win with sundering Titan after a discussion with my opponent and the head judge..looooong
turn!
2-1 For me

6- Italian TPS with Red
Woaaaa another fast combo deck! Ok let's start...I win dice! First turns are with duress of my opponent and
my drains! Yes I've played 3 of them. Then I try to resolve a gift but nothing...force of my opponent...
Then my opponent cast burning wish...cabal theraphy.... I've no force...ehhehe so he casts Wheel of Fortune..
than tinker on jar.... dark ritual...but noooooo Yawgmoth will....so I win in my turn after my opponent
pass!
Second turn is soooooo easy... I side main deck Tendrils to have lifes and speed like him!
He starts with land ritual necropotence. He draws 8... so he has 11 life point with the fetch!
I start with incredible hand....not possible... land mox walk! than... lotus mox mox....CHAIN OF VAPOR?
My opponent has force but he was thinking.....to do... not to force.... so I make double chain on my artifacts
and win with tendrils...LOL...!
