Seriously intense match. No game was won by more than a turn, and I had no idea who the winner would be until the final turn.
Game 1 (Loss)
Turn 2 Arsenic for kaemp. I won the toss and had an early OE, which did a good amount of damage up until he could play a Bonewall. I was playing very cautiously around Storms all game, but lost a Wyrm and a Damsel to the first Storm, lost another Wyrm and Damsel to the second. After that I drew no creatures, despite having drawn half my deck. Ended up losing by a Wyrm topdeck.
Game 2 (Win)
No turn 2 weapon for kaemp. Once again, I played very cautiously against Storm, had my board wiped, played more stuff, board wiped. Eventually I got a Wyrm to stick to the board, but only after kaemp finally finds a weapon. Third storm for him wipes me again, but I draw a 4th Wyrm just in time to win.
Game 3 (Loss)
Turn 2 Fahren for kaemp. A bit of a quanta flood for him, too - I baited out his first Storm with a Wyrm + Damsel, then played two more knowing his hand was empty and I only needed the Wyrms to last one turn on the board to win. Lo and behold, kaemp topdecks a second Storm. End up losing by 8 health, with slightly sub-par SoFr RNG - one more hit would have meant a win for me.
Game 4 (Win)
Turn 2 Fahren for kaemp. We play the Wyrm, Storm, Wyrm, Storm game for a bit until kaemp runs out of Storms. Blitz ended up very narrowly winning this one after four Bolts left me on less than 10 health.
Game 5 (Win)
Turn 2 Fahren for kaemp. Weird draw for him - no Death Pends at all, only Fire Pillars/Pends. This meant kaemp couldn't play Bonewall all game. I drew OE early this game, so could somewhat cheat the Wyrm, Storm, Wyrm cycle by having an extra 5 damage each turn. However, Fahren plus a lot of quanta is quite fast. In the end it was one turn too slow - kaemp used a Bolt on a Wyrm to stay alive the next turn, with a sure win the turn after, only for Blitz to save the day a final time.
