Well, i pretty much had the perfect counter, so the matches were like walk in the park... NOT! BatCountry couldn't show up, so Zery took her place. It seems it takes a good player and a "perfect counter" in order to have a chance vs the Grandmaster himself. He really deserves that title.

Game 1 was fine for me, not that intense. Managed to deflag 2 arsenics early and had purifies. He did hit couple of TU on my steam machines, which made me realize - yeah, i shouldn't grow them too much.

He promised he will break the laws of nature and win the second game and - Oh joy! He did. I was really careful about how many steam machines I play at the time, how much i grow them, also trying to surprise attack him for the win with phoenixes, but his calculations were always perfect. He drew 3 arsenics way too early for me to be able to do something about it.

Game 3 was incredibly intense also. In the end, i thought i was gonna lose for sure. I was even 1 turn away from losing, looking at my 1 remaining card in the deck, holding my head saying to myself "this can't be happening". Fortunately, it wasn't happening. He had zeru.. i mean - zero cards left in his deck which i didn't even notice until he pointed it out after the match was over.

Anyways... Very well played, Zeru. You are an incredible player and it was a real honor to play against you.

After I saw a water mark, I knew this would be rough.

Round 1:

Too much pandemonium, to little of everything else. This could have been the best round of all, because the pands TU'd his creatures damaging him nicely but I didn't drew enough bonewalls to keep my defence up. Instead I had to cast more pands, which out of all possible actions rewound my own Steam Machines. In the end I had like 3 of them in my hand. That means 3 turns without a a draw from my own deck. A gap big enough to brake my defence.

Round 2:
I promised to show him that my luck is superior. Drawn all 3 arsenics early with him drawing only 2 explosions. I also drawn enough bonewalls to stay alive after my hp got reduced to 26. The pands wrecked his offence completely. In the last few rounds I observed his hp going down very slowly and my card stack getting smaller and smaller. I though he was simply toying with me bu it seems that a lot of Rewinds wrecked his draw this time. When his hp dropped to 7 and I had 4 turns left I knew I won.

Round 3:
I could have won. If only I drew my second arsenic a bit sooner, I would have won. The match went similarly as before, but this time, because of a huge lack of poison at the start, I managed to deal only 80 damage, When I played my last pandemonium, I virtually had to TU his two phoenixes to win, but it didn't happen. RNG, I am disappointed at you.

Nice work, Dogg.  I remember seeing a deck like this from Essence in War #2 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14630.msg198202#msg198202)--it was a beast then too.
