He used a Gravity/Air duo, with wings, colossal dragons, accelerations and probably flying titans.

Game 1: I won with an EM. TStar had a 1 pillar draw, and I simply rushed him down. The wings he played turn 4 was deflagged as soon as it entered the game.

Game 2: I had a bit slower start and he had a bit better hand. He played a Wings early, but I wasn't afraid: I had 2 deflags in my opening hand. I decided to wait for the first wings to end, so that I could kill him in two turns with the deflags. I started growing two golems, then played a forest spirit with an arsenic. He accelerated the spirit and played a dragon. After a turn or two he accelerated the dragon too, but it was too late: I deflagged both wings he played, and my 10+ damage golems along with a lycan and a shrieker killed him

GGs.

Game 1 I had a single Gravity Pillar in my opening hand.  I never drew another quanta card and lost in 5 turns.  He was able to get a nova/cat/immo/golem opening combo with Arsenic and by the 2nd turn had a graboid and another golem out.

Game 2 I was able to draw a Gravity Pillar and a Pendulum on the opening hand.  He started with the same nova/cat/immo/golem combo.  2nd turn another golem.  I got an early Wings down so he just kept growing golems.  He dropped a Forest Spirit which I used an Acceleration on and then got a Colossal Dragon out with Acceleration.  When I dropped the second Wings he used Deflagration and hit me for about 40+ damage.  I had another Wings in hand which I used but he had a second Deflagration that he used and finished me off.

Entropy luck > gravity counter deck.

I mean, I'm not mad, but wow amazing to get what shantu did lol

[Terroking]

Looking at decks and descriptions, it looks like this definitely should have been Gravity's. Especially just how clunky that bow is. 3x Immo 3x Golem? I'd never run hat, if only because RNG would make them un-drawable....

Last round we get totally countered.

This round we take a counter deck then still get owned.

I guess the RNG really hates me after all. Screw this.

...And that says the one who made an epic comeback from 0-4 in trials...

I'm not a math whiz, but I have to imagine the odds of drawing a Nova, Cat, Immolate, and Lava Golem in the opening 7 cards is fairly low.  The odds of doing that plus drawing a 2nd Lava Golem in the top 8 cards even lower.  The odds of doing that not once, but twice in a row?  That has to be around the 1 in 100 range I'd bet.  Just to add insult to injury before the second game I got into one that he didn't and the AI pulled off the Nova/Cat/Immo/Golem trick first turn there as well lol.  I never would have guessed it was a 3 Immo, 3 Golem deck only.

Not trying to say I only lost due to bad luck.  Shantu played a smart game and used the cards he got to his advantage for sure.

I bet you are totally regretting not fielding a mono-gravity deck

[TheIdioticIdiot]

this is total bs...
seriously? we made a wings deck to counter golems and graboids
oh look, my opponent is using golems and graboids, auto-win time?

of course not...
