The first match is between Nekusar and Karador.
In game 1, Nekusar was stuck on 3 lands while Karador quickly ramped into a sylvan primordial

In game 2, Nekusar came out on turn 4 followed by 2 incendiary commands for their wheel effects meant that Karador lost a lot of life very quickly. Karador was ready with a Hornet queen defense, but Nekusar had a decree of pain ready for all of the queen's hornets. Thus, game 2 went to Nekusar.
In game 3, Nekusar was slowly building up his combo of Spiteful visions + Nekusar. However, Karador had already summoned the mighty vish kal. With Karador and Golgari Grave Troll, Vish Kal became a 14/14 very quickly and was shooting stuff down left and right.

The second match was between Oloro and Rhys!
Rhys got out an early doubling season in game 1 with a lot of elf tokens, then followed up with a

In game 2, Rhys got out a few early elf tokens on turns 2 and 3. Then started using his special redeemed powers to quickly double his army. He had 16 elf tokens that were pumped up by the spear of heliod. Oloro's life gain could not match that much damage output.

So we went to game 3. Oloro seemed to be doing well with a putrid imp pitching some strong creatures, and reanimating a consecrated sphinx, a Drogskol
Reaver, and a Myr Battlesphere. However, Rhys was able to sacrifice the Grove of the Guardian land, making an 8/8 token that he started doubling every turn. Rhys had 8 8/8 tokens with vigilance that Oloro could not draw any kill spells for.
