Good games TorB! Despite similar deck types going on a bit it was a fairly varied and intriguing match to play.

Redemption, I guess sort of? Loosely, this is a Fractix... in reality it is a Fractix with added Stallbreak horsepower that came in _very_ handy.

Avoided 1/51 counter and faced a slow quanta draw for TorB = win.

Whew. Eked it out 3-2 and now stand 5-5 against TorB in three rounds and 3-2 against ALL OTHER competition. >.>

Not swapping at this point, will just PM ian if I change my mind on it.

Thanks again TorB!

Bump, Round 3 is up, in case you haven't noticed. Get those matches done!

In the turn when rob had 2 cards left to draw I could either play a Miracle and be dead in 2 turns, or save it in hope rob missplays and allow to to survive the turn after. I save it, rob missplays, I win

I'm sad. I've won, but I'm sad. It is sad to win like this. I mean... I've built decks for hours, tried to anticipate Manuel's decks, moves.
I absolutely understand his frustration. Imagine that you are playing a farty nymph deck. Played out first nymph, made a little gas the next turn,
then BOOM skull shield! Chances? 10%. Once I had a Golden Dragon who met the same fate and I was also infuriated, however it was only a game
against the AI. Played out the 2nd nymph, next turn pfft, next turn BOOM skull shield! Chances? 10%. Both dying the same way in quick succession?
Chances? I leave you to find correct equation, but it is less than 5% that's for sure. In the following turns we both drew pillars so I won by a slight margin.
(EDIT. There was a 0,81% chance for this outcome. Chance for Blue Nymph to survive skull shield in a single turn: 90%; chance for dying: 10%. Altogether: 0,9*0,1*0,9*0,1*100=0,81%.)

I used this deck:

2nd game. I trusted my DBH deck, Manuel expected something different since he played a creature/voodoo poisoner deck. Manuel left halfway the game seeing
that my rhinos are running through his bone wall, plus aflatoxing them will exacerbate the situation. He should have stayed since I won only by one turn.
I'm sure he would react better than the AI.

What I wanted to convey with my first paragraph that one should fight, even in such aggravating situations. In the previous round my 1st game was also
very frustrating, lost in a really-really narrow game. I was angry as well, but the chance of giving up never crossed my mind. There is a difference
between 0-5 and 0-5. (Btw I lost only 1-4. )

Manuel, I don't judge you, nor do I lecture you, these are only my thoughts. My neighbors can tell that I can act in a hotheaded way as well. :-)

[iancudorinmarian]

Ya'll better man up and stop ragequitting. RNG is part of the game. If you ragequit the moment things don't go your way, then card games aren't for you.

I try my best to make everyone happy, but apparently it's never good enough for some of you.

isn't only rng, it's rng in an event where even the single game count, lost 3 times to disco (still i have no idea on why it wasn't restricted), 1time to skull shield, lost another for cointoss, to devtal for a 1 pillar start and the last one because i made a crappy deck and it was a deserved loss (still lost for a single turn)

not my fault if after 2 rounds the event is not enjoyable anymore, i made 3-2 and 2-3, in last 2 events was perfectly acceptable as a score, in this no matter on what i do, i have a huge disadvantage; i play for having fun and eventually win something

Then keep playing. In my first 12 Lives event, I misclicked and fractal'd an Ash instead of of Phoenix. It meant losing that match and a strong mark. (You couldn't exchange marks back then.)

Still, I kept playing and won the whole thing. Just keep playing if you lose, then you lose; that's fine. You still earn participation points which means, you're not really losing. Try to survive to get in the top 1/3 of the event and you get the 7 bonus points. That's 1/10th of the points needed for a Mark/Nymph code. Add that to playing all rounds and you're looking at ~25 points... pretty good for a 'disaster of an event' for you.
