I also had Fire, and have very little experience with it, so ditto.
Round 5 Pairings
Feature Match:
CAPS 2017: zhavier ([Anarchy]/Strength/Growth) vs. EricF ([Peace]/Balance/Anarchy)
CAPS 2017: FrozenStorm ([Demon]/Necro/Finesse) vs. Bob199 ([Strength]/Blood/Finesse)
CAPS 2017: Penatronic ([Present]/Peace/Blood) vs. Barrelfish ([Finesse]/Present/Law)
CAPS 2017: Shadow-Night-Black ([Balance]/Growth/Finesse) vs. Jadiel ([Feral]/Future/Truth)
CAPS 2017: cstick ([Feral]/Necro/Anarchy) vs. Hobusu ([Anarchy]/Strength/Growth)
CAPS 2017: NikoBolas (Mono White) vs. Mooseknuckles ([Growth]/Necro/Strength)
Note that if Shadow-Night-Black is currently in time extention mode, and if he loses his round 3 and round 4 matches, Jadiel will get a BYE this round
Do I get a medal for having 3 active CAPS matches?
Interesting that Zhav is the only surviving [Anarchy]/Strength/Growth, with Moose on the only other Growth survivor into Round 6 here. Guess there’s plenty of room for Peace engine, Truth shenanigans, Blood Shenanigans, and Black shenanigans at the top!
I imagine I’m gonna have Eric this next round, GL HF all!
Round 6 Pairings - welcome to the top 8!

Top 8 Board Representation
Anarchy, Necro, Strength = 3
Growth, Feral, Peace, Blood, Finesse = 2
Future, Truth, Present, Demon, Balance = 1
This makes my babyrage look even sillier in hindsight, haha. To be fair, I think Pete dropped out due to work after beating me, though
Yea PetE was on a tear to start and would likely have bumped around this list slightly, had he continued on
With everyone already done with R6, can we get R7 pairings early please?
If I had to take a guess, I’ll be playing Moose, You’ll be playing Cstick Bob, and Eric’s definitely playing Penatronic
You and I have both played each other and Cstick, but you played him a round earlier. Neither of us has played Moose, so it’s a toss-up
In fact, none of the 3 of you have played Moose, and all of you have played each-other. So, it’s just random for Moose, and the other two play the re-match with the other player going first.
Also, with Round 6 done, here are the early pairings for Round 7:
Round 7 Pairings:
Feature Match:

Welcome to the Top 4!
Round 8 Pairings:
CAPS 2017: Penatronic ([Present]/Peace/Blood) vs. Bob199 ([Strength]/Blood/Finesse)
CAPS 2017: FrozenStorm ([Demon]/Necro/Finesse) vs EricF ([Peace]/Balance/Anarchy)
Big props to @Penatronic to going so far as a relatively new player with a relatively unorthodox deck!
Final Pairings
Massive number of replays leads to randomly picking one of Penatronic and Bob199 to get a bye … random.org says: Bob199
Penatronic will play the winner of FrozenStorm/EricF round 8 match. Starting player will be switched from their previous battle, so it will either Penatronic vs EricF or FrozenStorm vs Penatronic
Bob will then play the winner of that match in the FINALS - and will be going first, regardless of opponent!
Finals is:
CAPS 2017: Bob199 ([Strength]/Blood/Finesse) vs. FrozenStorm ([Demon]/Necro/Finesse)
River is bringing the Drama to the Stage this tourney!
