Standing idly in wait the circle master awaited the arrival of Alissi and Roger. Hearing Roger's title the circle master's brow becomes wrinkled from frowning as he turns to the healers saying, "Have several healing spells waiting. I don't trust any mage who has a title of being a mage slayer..."
You guys know the drill. Start at 20 life, roll a 20 sided die with high roll winning the first turn.
"That is correct. Best of luck to you." Before Roger began to move he blasted the elf away with black lightning. A crystal clear orb appeared next to Roger and began orbiting around him.
"Well, THAT is going to be annoying to deal with." Before Roger moved again he blasted one of Alissi's mana sources with a wave of repulsion. The white mana faded away.
Another orb appeared, this one black and dripping with taint, the taint spread to the edge of the circle.
Roger laughed, Alissi looked like she was about get get a lot of damage through, before the aura could form Roger disrupted the spell. If one were to see Roger's satchel, they would notice one of his gems getting dimmer.

Roger grinned through the pain. He was still more than healthy. The gem in Roger's pouch got dimmer again and Roger could feel himself regaining his lost spells.
ErickC, you need to note abilities from cards used during your turn. You caused confusion by not pointing out that you used a Second Phantasmic Spirit Guide on your main step for the Reminisce. That's how he has two islands untapped on your turn Sengir.
Also ErickC, you roleplayed having roger take the blow from the stag but failed to record the damage in your OOC Character State. Roger should be at 22 life from the stag's blow.
Another thing I have to note is that you appeared to have taken another turn after performing a counterspell with your two islands as is the appearance with the Cabal Coffers you added to the field. You need to wait for these things.
The turn is still Alissi's. She cast Watchwolf tapping 1 plains and 1 forest to pay. Roger responded by tapping his last two islands for a counterspell on the watchwolf. This means it is still Alissi's main phase with 1 forest untapped, before the stag actually attacks. Resume play at the point with the counterspell hitting the watchwolf spell.
ErickC you need to also update your exiled zone with a face down Reminisce. Judging wise I am giving you your first warning for the tournament for failing to maintain a proper 'game state'. You can avoid further warnings by double checking your copy pastes. As well as recording abilities used under your cast area. You're getting this warning because your role playing and your ooc game state did not reflect the actions you took. The only reason I noticed is because I flipped through your past posts and noticed a second Phantasmal Spirit Guide in the Exile zone.
Please keep better track of what occurs to avoid future confusion.
If there are any other questions then feel free to ask me.
Yeesh... I made a mess... Sorry, I've been hopping around computers in Japan on my trip to post, usually with very little time to do so. Let's try to fix this.
I used a spirit guide to pay for the Reminisce (tapping an island and Urborg as well).
So, Alissi attacks Roger with the stag, I take 3 putting me at 25 (I gained 8 from the soul spikes) and here two Rancors were countered. Next turn, Alissi attacks again and Roger countspells a Watchwolf and takes another three, so he is at 22. Roger's turn will go the same (I really shouldn't have assumed I could just go there), but I'll redo the role-play.
A Shimmering orb of Silver appeared, beginning to Orbit around Roger. He stood, waiting for the next actions to occur.
Roger sent a pair of disrupting blasts at Alissi and an arch of draining magic, severing her mana ties to the planes and causing a good deal of harm. The pain from the stag was certainly annoying, but nothing he couldn't bear on his own. A second silvery sphere appeared and began to orbit. Two of these spheres spun wildly and Roger cast a powerful spell to resurrect Alissi's wolf.
OOC EOT 2 'rangs on your planes (using a spirit guide) and 1 Soul Spike at Alissi removing 2 terror
Roger saw a pair of elves forming, but he didn't care much about them. He decided that it was about time to end this. A blast of repulsion shot at the white mana source as the elves formed. He saw the stag refrain from attacking and, as he was about to take another action, he blasted Alissi with a shot of life draining lightning.
OOC in response to Elves, 'rang plains. Then EOT soul spike Alissi if she doesn't use luminecse (putting her at 16 and removing 1 terror and 1 consume spirit)
Around Roger formed a new silver sphere. The spheres around Roger span wildly and an explosion of life-draining energy hit Alissi directly. The wolf watched lazily, with darkness in it's eyes.
OOC Tapping 2 islands 1 urborg and the coffers to consume spirit for 16 (one island untapped)
Alissi is awarded 1 experience for participating in the Festival, to be awarded upon her return to Estark. Roger is awarded .5 experience for defeating a lower level mage, also to be awarded upon his return to Estark.
I'll leave this open for a bit in case Roger has any closing comments or roleplaying, and then it will be time for the final round.

With that the the circle master left Roger standing in the circle and then made his way to the Arena Master's tent to report the results...
