I draw 1 poison after drawing more than 20 cards. and I did not draw arsenic as well. It was a heart breaking draw as I keep hoping for more poison that never appear. I should have wasted 2 bolts to kill his dragon early in the first place, so that he never had the time to get 75 dark quanta. But then, how do I know I wont be drawing poison at all? Got bolted the turn I would have bolted him.

He does not have steal, so I thought of trolling him with discord.
Discord trolls me instead. put discord in, troll him only ONCE. then discord give him exactly enough quanta to play ghost of the past and nightmare. And gave him enough quanta again for another ghost of the past the next turn. I might as well not playing discord at all. Why can't this stupid discord troll him for just 2 turns? Lost by a turn

There is nothing he can do about my dims. He could not even heal. I let psions do some damage then bolted him.

Looking at his elements, and also since he can use death still, I decided to make an earth stall  instead of immogolem. My golem had all the time he needed to grow and finish him off. I just need to decide to play rain of fire or rage potion correctly.

he still has death element despite expecting him to play it in game 4. I put all my bet into it, making a wings deck even though he had flying darkness creature. predicted right. Regyptic was really surprised I think. One of my golems survive the cc.  make it 32 cards deck in case he had bonewall and i had to resort to decking him out, but my growing golem and longbow did the killing.

He didn't have a great start. I got out a Dev and a Dragon which was eventually Bolted, as was the second. I then had to wait, hoping I could draw a OTK before he did. I think I only needed 38 damage, 2 full drains and a NM with 3 spaces in his hand, unfortunately I drew the Nightmare a turn to late so had to wait for a third Drain Life. It was a good thing he was slow to draw Poison or this could have been bad. 1-0

This was a close game. Discord was pretty nice to me, tending to leave me with just enough quanta. Ended up winning winning with 4HP left. 2-0

I'm really frustrated with myself about this one. I thought he might play Dims here and then completely ignored that thought and played this. Dims came up when he got low and didn't break. 2-1

Probably another silly deck decision. I had an ok draw but every thing I played got killed. If a single Garg had managed to stick for a turn I might have won but he always had CC in hand. He played this game very well. 2-2

Most of my decks have been mainly flying creatures so I was surprised to see a wings deck. Basically every other deck I'd been considering would have been fine against it. I also didn't have a great draw and so couldn't get poison on him before Wings came out. It was surprisingly close in the end thanks to some good damage from Gargs but unfortunately not enough. 2-3


Good games glennfoo. That mindgate...
