The app name is Tourney https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tourney ... 76422?mt=8 and the tournament format is Swiss for the first 3 rounds To further clarify: "In a Swiss tournament, each competitor (team or individual) does not play every other. Competitors meet one-to-one in each round and are paired using a set of rules designed to ensure that each competitor plays opponents with a similar running score, but not the same opponent more than once. All competitors play in each round unless there is an odd number of them." --
The matches are assign to players with similar scores if able, if not able the app does some funky sh*t. All matches are generated by the app, and we have no way to interact with the pairings that the app delivers, this avoids possible manipulations from the organizers
Why don't he replaces witty name for the rest of the tourney and I play him instead?
Yes ZZmorg is on iOS. This is only an issue for the round 3 matchup as after that we cut to top 8 where witty was never going to make top 8 anyway. Every participant needs 3 rounds so hence the solution for the matchup and it does not interfere or alter any of the other round 3 matches.

Oh I get it. Well screw that. I didn't really have a chance to face anyone else. Well Mort, enjoy the killing
Ariel please remember to record the match
You want to watch me lose to the tune of 0-2? Against Mort it's gonna all be about luck - does he run out of answers before I run out of threats. At least against you I could strategize because you didn't have cheap burn. And I won't lie, it's super frustrating I have to face control three weeks in a row in a tournament that's 75% aggro/mid-range. Rant over. Watch me then lose to aggro in top 8, lol. Careful what you wish for right? RNGesus isn't always kind.
Unrelated, how does foiling work? I have a ton of excess gold that's now useless: 1. Can I foil my entire collection at once? 2. Can I turn off foiling if I hate the look? 3. If I foil a deck, will it foil all copies of any card I place in it or just the quantity I placed?

His deck was forged with fire and brimstone and bestowed upon him by the gods, so you better not go easy on him.

1. Nope. 2. Nope. 3. Nope. Kidding, but haven't tested this. Likely to be all copies within the deck. It asks you to upgrade all collected cards in said deck to foil versions. Might as well be all of them.

Foiled my whole collection. 6000+ gold. Easiest way was to create a deck with 100 different cards and foil. Rinse repeat 22 times minus whatever decks you had previously and foiling those first.
Sad being my last competitive match but to be fair both games were great to play. With running quite a few similar cards game 1 seemed initially to be in my favour but we both had Avacyn. Probably my timing was out but it was a sign of things to come.
Game 2 started with good mana from me. I had good cards and established what I thought was a good board. Double blessed Alliance though ended that. Unbelievable. Despite being blow to hold off for a bit once again double Avacyn and a dwindling life total put the match beyond me.
For me though a good match to sign off on. Also sad as will be the last tournament I run and organise. Like a lot of others the announcement was a blow and my heart is no longer in it. I will of course manage the rest of the tournament and look forward to top 8 and matches it will generate. I hope you stick with it and give a good send off to the last iOS organised tournament involving SquiderDragon. All good things come to an end. Been a blast and you each and every one made it that way. SD
Game 1 - it was the reflector mage / Thalia combo which was a great stabilising play. Maybe returning Avacyn earlier was a mistake but of course my own was likewise. Avacyn cast on defence is better due to invulnerability. Rather than trade which would have just lost avacyn, emerging the deep-fiend seemed the play but Thalia forcing it to enter tapped was enough and my draw was only a waste.
Game 2 - nothing else to add about double blessed alliance! Oh boy.
But as I said 2 good games actually so not a bad way to bow out. SD

Despite severe connection issues, on the topic of which I retract all of my past statements regarding restarts in favor of turn/play, this match too, has happened. Stuff was played, spells got cast..
Spoiler
and drob922 wins this one, 2-1. I simply refuse to go down without taking at least 1 round.
In game 1, being all agitated from the several restarts, I scried away a land I badly needed without even thinking about it, and it quickly went downhill from there. drobb simply took over the board, the end.
In game 2, I kept a hand that felt like the right type of hand to unload in favor of Bomat. It took me a minute bit but I got there and after a hand refill of the Bomat kind, Karl Zev saved my friggin’ ass.
In the last game, I had to choose between a T2 Bomat or Bloodlust on my Glory Chaser. I went with more board presence with Bomat, but don’t know if I’d do it again, given the choice. The plan was to again start dumping my hand in favor of Bomat but when I finally did, all I got was a lousy T-shirt and 2 lands. Dropping a Fleetwheel on me first, drobb then found his definitive recovery in Giddy of the Trials, who took the game home in his favor.
GGs drobb, good fight!
Feel free to rewatch the games on Twitch if you like. The first game is over rather quickly, but the second and third were pretty tight. Due to copyright, there'll be no sound on the vod's; you simply had to have been there.
Thanks for having me in this tournament! I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely up for more tournaments/one giant KotH until the new product arrives.

wotc for making SD leave competitive play!! Ps: I Wish you change your mind about this ...
2-1 Mort Game 1: Not an eventful game as far as board state goes(how I like it) I blast and countered my way to victory Game 2: early greenbelt and heart of Kiran were bad news for a counertless hand and Ariel took this one easily Game 3: longer than maybe 1 and 2 combined and not as decisive either way. Mid game Ariel began to flood out and I got to turn the corner and ride this bumpy one home
Great games as always, Ariel

Mort and I have played our match:
Spoiler
As I expected , Mort wins 2-1. Game 1: on the play. Mort pulls some key counters and burn to stop my early threats. I try to cast two at once later on, including a Blistering Hydra to cause some serious problems, but a key Censor foils my plans. Game 2:on the play again. Mort only draws burn and not counters, I quickly win using Greenbelt Rampager, Heart of Kiran and my Hulk. Game ended on turn 6 Game 3: SO FRUSTRATING! I'm on the draw. After some back and forth (including killing his Jace with a Never) I feel like I have Mort on the ropes as he only has one card in hand... just give me another threat to close out the game RNGesus! But... I top deck FIVE consecutive lands and fall too far behind... and lose. when I stopped the game - 10 cards drawn to 13(!) lands. . sigh.
