Is this really happening? Reverse sweep? ggs, and sorry for being on the receiving end of a reverse sweep fabian771 ^^
All but the second game were really close, some but 1 turn away from a different outcome.

As soon as I saw the deck mark I feared the worst: BW Poison mirror. To top it off, fabian has upgraded Poisons, which is much better in this matchup, except at the start. My deck has 2 redeeming traits: smaller deck for better starting draws (tiny difference), more Arsenic for hitting a few times before BW comes up, cheaper BW to block his Arsenic. Hourglass gave fabian his advantage most games he won.
Game 1
Lost:
Lost toss. This was a really close game. We were both still scoping the others' deck out, I wasted (I think?) a Deflagration on Arsenic: should have saved for Hourglass in retrospect. He could draw freely with it while I had to just watch and hope for good enough topdecks to maintain my early advantage. At one point, I had to draw but one Poison during any of 2-3 turns to win the game. But nothing of the sort, making me lose while leaving fabian at 2 hp.
Game 2
Lost:
Lost toss. fabian771 had really nice draws here. I already started at a disadvantage and with Hourglasses to boot, I simply forfeited this game when I had too many Poison counters to overcome with any possible topdecks. I almost gave up at this point, but as game 1 had proven: I just needed a bit more luck to win this match. I can win this match, I will win this match!
Game 3
Won:
Won toss. Not sure about the details, but I drew no Deflags while fabian went mad drawing. I had a fast Arsenic start, though, and his bad luck in drawing left me with exactly 1hp.
Game 4
Won:
Lost toss. Fuzzy on the details, but I think I had 2 Deflagration from the start this game. Failed to draw Bone Walls for a long time, but fabian didn't do much of anything after I destroyed an Hourglass and an Arsenic.
Game 5
Won:
Won toss. This game was brutal, I had Death Mark and Arsenic in starting hand leading to a super speedy start while fabian had but a lone Bone Pillar... which I destroyed. I pretty much won the game at that point, but he did recover quanta wise and kept drawing and stuff, but too much early damage had been done to defeat me.
