The upgrade advantage was simply too large here. Good games.

Game 1 (Win) vs BB Splash

Good quanta draw including 3 Damsels, plus an early EE and fog. Few SoFr for me this game, I held off playing my Dragons for the majority of the game to play around BB. The damage from the EE plus a fly or two was significant, though. Fog and Snipe bought me enough time to play a couple of Dragons with 1 SoFr out, which was enough to win by a few turns.


Game 2 (Win) vs Water Rush

Very similar draw to G1, no Fog this time, though. EE kept his damage largely under control until he played a Sky Dragon in the mid game. His deck had no real answer to my Sky Dragon once it was played though, and I managed to play my Dragon before his. Damage from that and my EE was enough to outrace him.


Game 3 (Win) vs Water Rush

RNG didn't care how many Damsels were actually in my deck, it was going to give me a draw with lots of them anyway. No EE or Fog this game, though, and only 3 quanta sources in my opening hand. Both my flies were TStormed early, but by then I had made 6 quanta from them and I drew into a good number of pillars/pends. 3 SoFr meant his Fog did little, and my Dragons did much. The Shockwave on his Toad slowed him by a lot, I won by a couple of turns.

SoB really really helped me here

A couple of desyncs, but I won on both, and paper lost on both:

Afda's descriptions are accurate.
I included Tstorms in both decks because Damsels were big players for him last time.

Ran this deck only to see if he'd go for Nymphs game one like last time.  Was not to be.

I knew he'd just spam mono-air, so I did the best I could against it.  Toadfish provided a fair answer to Dragons in tandem with Tstorms, provided the Toad got through SoFree, which never happened.

Overall good games, though I never really stood a chance xD

This a bit modified version of willing3's unused deck in trials #10, Statis
I was thinking i will run untill i can 1HKO majofa, but  forget i wasnt playing against the AI.
And i could have add some more cards to not run out of cards

Its official i hate dim shields

Multiple close games - but Andretimpa seemed like he was in control from the first game and onwards. I didn't expect the time shift on the final game!

Spoiler for Hidden:

But seriously though! Just take a look at my wins and his!

Spoiler for Hidden:

Hoping to get back to the drawing board - as at least I know that I'll have at least one more game to play. Unless, of course, my opponent's both fail to try to play, in which case the aide wins.

MoP pulled a real sneaky trick when I thought I had the game and catapulted me to oblivion.

Early eternity and one early sofo meant MoP had a bad time, despite my main damage being late.

[Ginyu]

One more match that went down by Mark usage. But why should one ban them if we could just keep elitism everywhere and let your card pool decide matches like these?

[andretimpa]

I honestly think the upgraded cards collection was more important here, specially because MoP played a deck with no EQ too. g1 looked a lot like the mono he used in round 1 and g2 was a deck that used dragons, dilgos and acceleration (which was the card that won him the game + my derp), g3 had BB and warden instead of EQ (also, the combination that stopped me long enough for cata to do its work).

[RootRanger]

One more match that went down by Mark usage. But why should one ban them if we could just keep elitism everywhere and let your card pool decide matches like these?

One match out of hundreds that went down by Mark usage. But why should we provide even a marginally more powerful card to players who win tournaments and events if we could just remove the significance of the rewards entirely so that players will have less interest in even playing matches like these in the first place?

[majofa]

My question is.. where are the rest of his decks?

[RootRanger]

1-3. Bleh. This event never goes well for me.

Congratulations to Solaris for advancing to the next round (it's essentially guaranteed at this point.)
