Not sure what I was expecting him to start with, but I was explicitly thinking he would go dbh second game.  Turns out I was right, but he went first as well XD.  Got a very nice quanta start to his 2 quanta start.  Silenced him and slowed discord by another turn.  He got momentum later, but I was able to fractal the turn after his purple nymph (not sure if he had black hole in hand but didn't play because of charger spam).  Won by a turn, with a fractal.  I am counting myself lucky in this matchup.

I was not putting a repeated dbh out of the picture, and his previous one looked like it was discord, bhole, probably 2 nymphs, and chargers.  This should have theoretically beat that, if I could get lightning out.  I ended up with a 1 quanta start.  Only got out 2 guards before I died, I was locked decently from the start, and never got 2 aether quanta.

Figured he just go dbh again, or pulvy.  Steal should do decently against both of those.  Got a 5 quanta start (3 pillar, 2 pend) so he couldn't EQ until I had 2 darkness quanta and 10 gravy quanta.  Wasn't sure whether or not to save darkness for vagger or steal, but went with vag.  He had no grav shield and no pulvy, so steals were useless anyway, and vagger was mvp by far.  Won quite handily with it cancelling out the attack of his charger (well almost).

In team chat I wrote that I expected him to go back to dbh if I won the previous duel, and with all of his decks being denial so far, I expected another.  I also predicted him to use guards, as all I had seen so far were chargers, and I had used no shield.  He had denial and guards .  He gpulled my first overdriven guard, but I killed him with my own before he could kill my soldier.  Guard died a few turns later, but I was able to overdrive another guard, praying that he didn't draw gpull.  Topdecked grav shield, so only damage he was doing was titan (although he did use momentum on a guard).

Good Games rob, pleasure playing with you, and it is quite fun trying to figure out how to beat gravy's weakness

DBH!  Speedbuilt everything this round - as proof I submit the DBH with rogue Titan!    hahaha, well-done Laxa as a 2-quanta draw doomed me (the Titan mistake was mostly inconsequential).

Played 2nd (as I did in all four losses!) and Laxa's 5-quanta draw overpowerd anything my 2nd-player Quicksand could slow down.  Also, obligatory Vagger OP comment here.  OH, and grav-pull with just two Guards was an oops...

Why I didn't even try an RT-splash deck I do not know.  I love RT-splashes.  C'est la vie!  QS denial is too slow playing 2nd built as I had it. 

'Twas a pleasure PVP'ing Laxa and thanks for accomodating my requested match timeframe and slightly-extended between-match deck speedbuilding pauses.  Best of luck next round - but only just enough to barely lose to nilsie (I want another shot in Budokan! - *casts magical nils summoning spell*, which may or may not exists...).
