I thought I had an interesting deck. Got CCC down to 12 hp the last game. 4 turns in a row his dusk mantle blocks all of my creatures attacks. I swear the 50% advertised is a lot lower than the actual block percentage. On the other hand, my RTs on skeletons did give me 2 dragons and a nymph that last game so I guess it was only fair. I liked CCC's unstable gas deck he used against me. Completely countered me game 2, surprised it wasn't used again in game 3.

loss
loss, i was probably 2 turns before winning with 97 hp, even kae almost forgot he banned phoenix
still no idea on why phoenix was banned, with fractix useless without immolation and every kind of cc unbanned

still no idea on why phoenix was banned, with fractix useless without immolation and every kind of cc unbannedI was going to ask about this before the tourney but it might have been considered meta talk. Only explanation I can think of is to make splashing off element CC spells more viable, unless phoenix was banned just for being a good card in general?

Against shockcannon, I used a version with too many tech cards and not enough quanta, so the healing was not enough to sustain me when I didn't draw a shield.
Against kaempfer I cut all the water cards except 4 purifies, switched to all stone pillars, and added 2 auburn nymphs, which was just enough CC to survive the bone dragons from his cat-tal (he also had a very slow draw).
Against ToRB, I cut the 4 icebolts for an extra EA, 2 auburn nymphs, and switched the quanta to stone pillars. The quanta was a little lean, and he used the explosions against my pillars since I got EA on both poseidon and shield. I locked him off aether after 2 fractals (1 of photon, 1 of archangel), but 7 archangels did enough damage with no nymph to slow them down and not enough quanta to get any big SS healing.
I liked CCC's unstable gas deck he used against me. Completely countered me game 2, surprised it wasn't used again in game 3.
This was also the only trio I played in the tournament. I think I overestimated the risks to the deck from flying eternity or other defensive tools, so I did not use it as much as I probably should have...
I also played a couple weirder decks... One was a deathstalker/eclipse duo dusk/vagger (with epic dusk RNG against shockcannon :o but then completely fell apart against kaempfer's elite FFQ explosion deck), another was a spider-tal (which beat down kaempfer's deja-hope deck before he assembled all his defensive pieces ;) ), and I also ran a deadly poison SoSac firebolt deck (which ToRB's UG deck wrecked in the final game :( ).
