ak65ala 3 - 1 kevkev60614Very good games kevkev60614!! Each was a struggle for both of us, and you did not let me have anything for free (besides all those silences
). I'm so happy my bad luck did not plague me these games! I think it was due to playing such a fat deck and not expecting to get 'ideal' draws. It was refreshing to have such abstract games, due to the event of the round... we don't get to play such duels most days.
Greed is going to play a big role in this event... I can see that now. Who is greedy enough, and when is too much? Greater risk = greater reward.

Game 1:Win kevkev threw out a diamond shield 3rd turn, greatly slowing down my cockatrices. Causing my Scorpions to be useless. Giving me a pause to think... how can I do this still. Mitosis+Dragon. Bingo. kevkev drew no Owl's Eye, shockwaves and stoneskin slowed me, but I eventually punched through.
Game 2:Loss Turn 3 Owl's Eye and Diamond shield from kevkev. Now comes the fun part. about 20 turns of waiting for Dragons and Mitosis in hand, building life quanta. 4 Dragons, 3 mitosis, 120+ life quanta. Hoping he only kills 2, think I can do it then. Drop 4 dragons. He kills 3. Sigh. Mitosis single dragon, breed. He shockwaves, shoots my breeder... wow... had 5 shockwaves in hand. mitosis lone dragon, keep breeding. Got him down to 26 life, but 5-6 full stoneskins and all my breeders shot (had up to 4 dragons again at max) left me unable to kill him before deckout.

Game 3: Win Figured he did not have much else from the grid, assuming he picked those tasty 3 x relic slots. Went for the strengths of my first deck + some fun, in case I could use something against him I was not expecting. Simplest game of the bunch, bred my dragons faster than he could keep up early on.
Game 4: Win The reason I love mindgate. kevkev went with a silence Eagle's Eye deck. My heals kept my head above water from the overpowering Eagle's Eye, and I got to silence him, he silenced me. Around 10 cards left for kevkev, he had me to 76 HP, meaning 2 shockwaves + Eagle's Eye would kill me before I decked him out. Still had not drawn a dragon at this point. He chained silenced me 5 times, making me worry... but I drew my dragon, chain silenced him back to keep my dragons alive and the swarm ate him with 3 cards to go.
Hurray for 10 relics!
