First of all congratulations, Naii!

I was glad because I found a sorta broken deck, and in the end rng just killed me. This is nonsense. Your efforts are rewarded... NOT!

Played this against everybody:

Also played a life-water duo against Doc.

It was easy to realize it is much better to play the control deck, since it kills everything, even the fast life-water domin (fast in this meta). I added a Nova and a Reflective
Shield in g2 vs andre and in g2 and g3 against Naii.

Had some luck against andre in g2 with that early Fire Shield, but honestly this deck was so strong in this meta, can handle a bunch of life creatures without FS
as well. G1 vs Naii became interesting when he played Bone Wall, but got enough damage before his poison damage was able to reduce me to 0 (~3 turns difference).

Now we can agree that mirror games are rng. Naii won that rng battle in g2 because I had worse quanta and lacked 3 dmg to win. (Actually, cool to see, that Naii
had only 12 pends...) G3 I was thinking between a weak Devquake and the fire-aether deck... 2 quakes just not enough, so I switched back to CC-fest in the last moment.

Naii had these cards in his first half deck: 2 Fireflies, 2 Pegasi, 3 Blessings, 1 Golden Dragon.

I had: 1 Fire Shield, 1 Fire Bolt, 1 Lightning, 2 Immortals (also Nova and Reflect).

Well, yeah. Go kill creatures without CC. He even topdecked that 3rd bless to ensure I won't get any chance to kill the lone pegasus left next turn (if rng is so kind to
give cc...) In the end another frustrating loss thanks to Lady Luck. :(

Take that, :fire :aether stalls. I won without you (except that one game...)

Won vs. Calindu G1
Vs. PU/Blessing/Pegasus.
So I went with this deck for two reasons:
─5 Lightnings available
─Lols
When I drew Nightfall it was game, since everything Calin played was poisoned and died so I had tons of Skellies, and he played his Pegasus early.

Won vs. Oa G2
Vs. :fire :aether domin.
Expecting Lightnings again... :D
Starting hand, saw Plague, Yard and BW. I wanted to play them both(Yard was played earlier) at the same time, however, I was waiting for Oa to rack up creatures; hopefully not immaterial ones.
And he plays Fire Spirit and 3 Ash Eaters. After playing the makeshift combo, I drew into nightfall some turns later and it was game.

Won vs. Calindu G2
Vs. PU/Blessing/Pegasus.
Didn't know what to expect, tried this one now. Haxx Shield on opening hand, and I played it as early as I could as soon as I noticed what his deck was. I drew Dagger as well which actually helped a lot. I tested his Lightnings with two early lycans, which promptly died. I later drew into the Dragon and an Abomination, and he wasn't fast enough with Dusk there. My Dragon only died until the third last turn.

Won vs. Wyand G3
Vs. :fire :aether stall.
Oh boy, I expected a counter to that deck, not that deck. This isn't gonna go well.
Turns out I draw every single creature and blessing except one pegasus. Blessed dragon really did a number on his health after I miscounted some turns before and was one quanta short of playing a second blessing on a pegasus, which died to an immediate lightning. Wyand didn't draw more CC, so another two pegasus and a blessing chipped at his health. I topdecked a blessing to win one turn earlier, which probably saved me from CC(I would've been toast with only one damage source left in deck).

Won vs. Oa G1
Vs. :life/ :water domin.
I started with a healthy amount of quanta and a chrys on hand, alongside a bit more damage. The chrys got frozen immediately, and I drew into several Freezes which I was saving for the obvious spirit. Oa only ever drew two cockatrices and an spirit worth of damage before I played Ice Shield, which was game.

Lost vs. Wyand G1
Vs. :fire :aether stall.
This was fairly close. I drew into all 3 poison on top half and presented Wyand with a dilemma in this game by playing BW against so few creatures: Kill my creatures, delay yourself. Don't, die faster. Wyand ultimately won thanks to bolts. I added one extra Freeze for this match.

Won vs. Wyand G2
Vs. :fire :aether stall.
I am ashamed I played this deck
Okay, mirror match. Including two RoF instead of RoF and Fire Shield when I was expecting this wasn't probably a good idea. I deflagged one of Wyand's pillars early to delay his bolts for a few turns. Considering that he was very close to the kill, it was really worth it. I drew better quanta and enough damage to get the win in the end.
