"Ladies and gentlemen please take your seats this next battle could be an explosive one. The sun only has a small window to be up still and that means this could be a battle in the night. Who will prevail? Will the heroin Thalia win or the master of death Jarad come out of no where? Lets us find out!"
A glowing light comes forth from one end of the tunnels. Shinning like a star, her sword held high shield up and ready it can only be Thalia. The crowd roars to life seeing her and the can feel the power of hope fill them. She is the beacon of hope and life in her home world, now it shines here as well.
The crowd stops all of a sudden. A much darker figure is now standing opposite of Thalia. A torn, dirty hood over it with blood stains all over. This can only be Jarad. In his home world he has made a name for himself by being a powerful necromancer. Now he wonders around looking for the next dead soldier to join his army.
Both warriors arm themselves and begin their battle. Neither showing anything special for their first couple moves that is until Thalia kicks things off.
Thalia wastes little time in her game plan. End this as fast as she can so Jarad has little to resurrect from the grave. That in mind her golem is sent forth and ready to battle. The crowd roars to life with how fast she was able to get battle presence. With her special ability it will make things harder for Jarad to play any kind of spell.
Jarad only shows a snicker. He knows how this game is played. Everyone tries the same thing, hurry and defeat him so he can't use the graveyard. Too bad they don't know how powerful he really is till its too late. Lotleth Troll is sent forth to defend his master from damage and then gets a power boost. Jarad sends one of his own creatures to the grave to give his troll a small boost.
" The difference is Jarad, I have plenty of experience battling filth like yourself. I know what will end you and how I must obtain victory. " taunts Thalia
She simply sends forth her Frontline Medic and lets Jarad make his next move. No need to send her golem in to its death for now.
Jarad is unmoved as well. Entomb is a powerfuly dangerous spell in his hands. He sends one creature straight to the graveyard something Thalia really doesn't want to see right now. So with that Thalia gets ready for her next move. She knows she has to make some attacks soon or this could be over fast and not in her favor.
Marked by Honor,just what she needed. Her golem is now a power house standing as a 4/3 and now has vigilance.
"Go golem!" a thunderous blast roars from Thalia.
The crowd goes crazy yet again. Thalia has drawn first blood in this match. The crowd is on their feet clapping and cheering. Some begin to chant her name. Then Jarad lets out a hair standing laugh. Everyone stops and slowly sits back down. Jarad still chuckling and now lowering his hood as the night is taking root.
" You foolish mortals! You believe this being of light can defeat a master of death?!"
In a flash of light, Jarad has brought back one of his creatures from the grave. Shambling Shell a favorite toy of his to use. Now with this powerful creature by his side he has a engine of death ready to steam ahead.
The crowd looks on in horror that is Shambling Shell. Just a mass of an unrecognizable creature with flesh slumping off its body.
"Wow ladies and gents Thalia certainly knows what she is doing when battling the likes of Jarad doesn't she? This battle has turned again and it seems Thalia will be the winner of this match in no time at all. Simply amazing!" even the announcer can't believe how this battle is turning out.
Jarad again lets out a hair standing laugh. The lights on his side have not come fully on making it perfect for him to battle. Everyone is wondering what could have this necromancer laughing when he clearly has no chance. Then everyone sees what is so funny. His golem is now out on the battlefield and he is an astounding 8/8 power house. Even bigger than Thalia's own creatures.
Thalia doesn't do anything for her next move. But Jarad continues his power building by laying out Golgari Germination. Another dangerous enchantment in his hands. But he too is at a stand still for now. Thalia's next move is a tide changer for sure.
Increasing Devotion! What a bomb like spell from Thalia. She now has an additional five soldiers ready to attack next round and maybe end this in her favor still. Jarad is still setting things up on his end not even really worried about his life total. That is until Thalia attacks yet again.
Thalia again arms her army to attack Jarad. She can feel that this battle is about to be hers. But before she can make the attack Jarad makes her think twice about it. His spell Murder slays the Medic and makes her army able to be killed if she attacks again.
She haults her attack and just gets ready to defend herself.
"Thalia was in control but Jarad has once again taken that away from the light."
Jarad is now beginning to build up his own army. Eternal Witness comes forth a brings one of his used spells back to him and then Shambling Shell makes a return as well. Things are starting to look grim for the beacon of light. She has to do something to turn this back around.
An attack from Thalia's angel and her defense stays strong. Jarad on the other hand builds his army even more. Shambling Shell is sent to the grave to power his golem even higher .Life from the Loam goes to work getting more for its master and in return Mortivore is now ready for battle. His power is equal to that of Jarad and will only continue to grow stronger.
" It seems they have hit a wall folks. Each waiting on the other to make a crucial mistake and then jump on it like a lion. "
Thalia again sends her angel in for an attack and leaves it at that. Jarad then plays one of his most powerful spells. Deadbridge Chant. Ten of his own spells hit the grave further pumping his useful tools to bring back. Thalia finally can land another super spell.
"You may have me at a stand still necromancer, but this next spell will help tip things back in my favor. The return of my Increasing Devotion."
Thalia now has an army of 15 soldiers ready to defend her or attack for her. The crowd again erupts in cheers as it seems their ray of light has got this one won. Between the angel and that army no way he can stand against this.
Jarad again just makes his move. Using his special ability, he sends Mortivore to the grave draining Thalia of her life from the power Mortivore had. At the same time Jarad then casts out Gnaw to the bone gaining him 2 more life for every creature he has in the graveyard. Thalia has to think fast if she is going to end this before it gets worse.
A onslaught for an attack comes from Thalia. The amazing damage dropping the necromancer's life back down to just five. This battle is almost over once and for all. Jarad again some how manages to pull back from the graveyard. Life from the Loam again goes to work for its master and then Spider Spawning comes forth making a small army of spiders to defend their master.
" Jarad is truly showing why he is the master of death folks. He just won't go down in the face of the beacon of light Thalia. "
The crowd have now grown even more anticipated with the match. The others have seen powerful spells end it very fast with not much excitement. This time there are powerful spells being cast and neither side having won just yet.
Thalia has sent forth another attack and a major clash of two armies. The dust has suttled and both of them still stand. Jarad seems to be on his last legs. With just one life point left he has to know is own grave is near.
Jarad lets out a truly skin crawling chuckle. Everyone is now on guard for what will happen next. Jarad's largest spell is now in his hands. Plague Wind has taken away the power that was just assembled by Thalia. Jarad's golem is sent forth for an attack dealing 17 points of damage to Thalia.
The lights have still been dim on Jarad's side making his every move even more skin crawling. The crowd is now in their seats unable to believe what is going on here. Jarad keeps escaping his own death and turning the tide on Thalia. What could possibly happen next?
Thalia sends out Moonsilver Spear and her golem yet again attempting to build her self a defense yet again. It would seem it is all for not. Depression begins to sink in for all that are in attendance. There isn't much that can be done now. Jarad attacks forcing Thalia to block with her golem. Korozda Guildmage is sent out to further the damage that is about to come her way. Again her golem is sent forth attempting to provide a small defense for Thalia.
With the help form his Guildmage, Jarad ends this battle. A final attack has come his golem gaining the powers of intimidate keeping Thalia from blocking. The battle is now over. No other words were spoken between the two. Only Jarad muttered some ancient chant collecting some of the bones that were in the grave from this battle.
" Everyone it seems that Jarad has advanced to the next round. We will next see how the necromancer fairs against the king of Jund. Who will win in the next struggle for power?"
Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund
Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
Nicol Bolas
