Way to stick through the desynchs, Mastermind, and gg.  He ran a standard Death/Darkness duo.

Game 1:  I tried to get the combo going, but his Death/Darkness duo wasn't ideal to fight against with this deck.  His Devourers om nom nom'd my needed quanta.  At one point I had the choice between playing a DS or waiting for a Fractal, and I chose to wait for the Fractal to hide the fact that I had DS's, and you'll see why that helped later.  His win.

Game 2:  I locked him down relatively quickly, and got lucky at some points.  My win.

Game 3-1: Perfect hand.  Desynch.

Game 3-2: Horrible hand.  Desynch.

Game 3-3: Okay hand.  Desynch.

Game 3-4: Pretty good hand.  Desynch.

Game 3-5:  Above average hand, but I got lucky with an early Darkness Pillar.  He got out four quick Devourers, but I managed to prevent him from playing all but two Dragons.  After Fractal'ing my Pests and Vampires, I decided to play a Nightfall, since it would benefit me more than him.  When it seemed like all was lost, I pulled a DS at the last second.  Because I played it, he could not play any more creatures to finish me off, even if he did Steal it.  I pulled the win.

Great games Mastermind.

First game, early arsenic, my devourers ate good stuff.
Second game, early arsenic that got stolen, his devourers locked me.

Third game was just...
I was one turn away from winning when he fractalled vampires and bought time. I was content let him stall a little. Suddenly, his nightfall and then Eclipse popped out, and we were almost the same HP. I was a turn ahead, and we both had 2HKOs. Right on the turn before I would kill him, he pulled a Fricking Dimensional Frickin Shield of I didn't draw a single Steal in that last game, but they were dead cards in my hand in the first two games.

Good games Dragoon1140, I wish you hadn't drawn that shield

woot!  boingo and i chose to change upgrades at last minute...  nightfall for destroying bone walls with devourers while he didnt get much dmg at the same time and eclipse if he had less creatures or u needed more healing/dmg...  idk if u fractaled upped vampires or minor vampire...  so idk if it helped or not. 

anyways, great job dragoon!

Thank you for bringing home another win, Dragoon1140.  (You can read about my heart attack due to misreading here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16995.msg231551#msg231551).)

I thought it iffy to use nightfall/eclipse vs since they get a bonus also--was hoping they went poison/plague/bonewalls instead.  And that dim shield seemed like it might never get played with the fractals and the likelihood they could go with devourers.  Sure glad you had it when you needed it.

P.S.  Surprised to see deathstalkers still around.

P.P.S.  And what's up with us and Team butting heads every round?
