edit: now, I don't remember every detail, since games started yesterday vs. Rasta and continued today vs. Matrim, but let's go...
The basic deck run on games 1, 2 and 4 was:

Nymphs gave me card advantage, but (iirc) 2 antimatters slowed my damage considerably. It was a race to win, as he played sword, lycans and antimatters and I played nymphs, ghosts and RTs. We had a desync at the end, and a bit of discussion... although our hps were close, I had 2 RTs in hand, could rewind his lycan (or even the 2 of them he had in play) so he couldn't deal enough damage to kill me the next round (having to draw and play a 1 attack lycan), while I would have more than enough damage to win over my current turn + next.
1-1: Same thing, but this time Rasta had a lot more early antimatters than the game before, an early sword and a nightmare. I simply couldn't deal damage fast enough to outrush the lycan, and there was nothing I could do about the sword, so this was quite an easy one for entropy.
1-2: -2 RT; -1 dragon; -3 ghosts; +1 eternity; +3 dim; +2 fractal; mark
I got worried with the previous loss, and since I never saw any steals in the first 2 matches, I thought entropy had no PC and it would be safe to change to aether and go minighostal. As soon as I played eternity, bam... steal! Played a dim... steal! Played another dim... steal. Yeah, it was not fun.
=== ends my matches with rasta yesterday (Rasta, correct me if I'm wrong about any details above... I'm sorry for not taking notes); begins my match(es) with Matrim today=====
1-3: So, back to the original deck... We had dozens of desyncs until we got a game done. I had my share of great and bad hands during the desyncs... more than once I beat the AI, but since those were mid game, we kept replaying until we got one game right. And when we finally got to play a complete game, Matrim did exactly enough damage to win 1 turn before I could kill him
As soon as I played a nymph, he AMed it and slowed me down from the start. Add to that a very early sword (which I could do nothing about) and an annoying lycan I had to keep rewinding, and it wasn't looking good. I kept drawing RTs, which helped to slow him down while I got quanta to play my ghosts (I think I got to play 3-4 at the end). A nightmare mid game was really a game breaker - it healed him up when I was getting close to kill him and dmg me enough to even things out. It was a real close game and we knew it would be decided by just a few dmg points. I ran out of RTs and he got to finally play a second lycan and evolve the first one, so my only hope was to draw my last 2 RTs in 2 draws (1 normal and 1 nymph). Only drew one, so I rewound the large lycan. He evolved the other, played the rewound lycan and did exactly the dmg he needed to kill me.
GGs
! I'm really sad to loose this one to desync and bad luck in the only game we got to complete, but Matrim was a great guy to chat and play against.
Sorry I couldn't pull this one off, team
.
I hope we can do something really special in the last round and surprise everyone, just as we did it so far in war.
