First off - thank you ddevans96 for rescheduling. My fault for falling sleep past our original meet-up, but hey, working a lot sucks. ^^;
And second off; fantastic games.

Game 1: I see a fire mark, and it turns out our hope for no PC was a complete fail. I cross my fingers into our match, and while my draw was generous, ddevans' wasn't. He only had a single water tower while I managed to go through my deck with ease thanks to a top-decked Hourglass and Eternity, rewinding his creatures while speeding through my deck for the Unstable Gases needed to overtake him. Thanks to Eternity's 4-damage-a-turn, I whittled him down to the 60~ damage before having my weapon destroyed.
Thereafter, I laid out all of my cards (including an immolated deja vu), and with the
quanta needed, I busted out all my gases for the first win. 1-0
Game 2: I admit that I was slightly distracted this time around (my best friend called, so I was multi-tasking at this point), but ddevans basically top-decked his Explosions after hitting me down a bit with his Berserking crawler - I had no idea he had rage potions in his deck, and I assume they were dead cards if neither of us had creatures on the field. My back-to-back wings during this match didn't help after he had an army of nymphs at his disposal and my single Eternity was too late. 1-1
Game 3: I got a good amount of draws again for this match, with both of my hourglasses coming in early to speed through the deck as quickly as possible. Similar to the previous 1st match, I managed to whittle dd down a bit to around the 60+~ damage mark before I pumped out all of my unstable gases out simultaneously, to deliver the killing blow with Eternity. Early wings kept me above 80 HP, and I think I got off an unstable gas in the early game as well, which made the match much easier. 2-1
Game 4: No hourglasses, Wings, Eternity, or UG spelled doom for me. My two deja vus stayed anxiously behind in my hand, while I essentially watched dd overrun me. The two pendulum start also didn't help my case either. 2-2
Game 5: I was really lucky here once again that dd didn't top deck all of his deflagrations - he noted that he played much more aggressively this time around - which worked to his advantage for the most part, as him blowing up one of my early Wings and my Eternity spelled doom (at this point, I thought I had to kill him with split-deja vu damage). If he had top-decked a Deflag the following turn, I would have been done for, as his raged nymphs and crawlers were all staring me down at this point. I was able to kill a pufferfish from the first 4 UGs, and the 5th one came right before I was nearly destined to deck out. 3-2
Great games again to Team Water - I don't recall facing you throughout this war dd (compared to Entropy... heh). But fighting a general is always an intense match-up, and you were no exception.
