Gb4by... A new face for me, I look forward to the match!
Thanks for the match - I had fun despite my two losses being likely my two most valuable element-marks remaining! -!ouch!-
W-W-L-W-L* / 3-2

Well, I was expecting Firestall to come out this game... So played my Firestall counter - against DBH >.< D'oh! But then I won toss, drew fairly nice quanta, and got PhaSoR combo going before late-ish Disco came out. The key was definitely getting Pharaoh (and SoR, somewhat) out before Discord.
Result: No more BH's rest of the match... now what to do with my DBH counter?!?
(Packed the upgraded quanta into the build just in case it wasn't Firestall... good idea 24-hours-ago-me!)

Turns out DBH is gone so now I _really_ REALLY expected Johnnington to come to the field. I needed to play my Firestall counter again... so I did (probably should have gone Air-FailMark given that was the mark of my DBH counter and in hindsight I really wanted to play Mono-entropy D*ck 2.0 in game 5
).
The firestall counter countered (I was a bit concerned early/mid-game that enough healing would be present that Gb4by could save Bolts for lethal since I was somewhat sure no Deflag would allow me win by deckout if I had too using Eternity-cycling... but the bolts came out against my Pharaoh#1 and I breathed again).

I don't remember what I was expecting to face... but I know I didn't expect to draw only 1x Dev in 15 cards. I couldn't generate the Dark quanta needed to play the Vampire-fractal I had going. It was a pretty strong rush from Gb4by's mono-fire too, well-played.

Brought the DBH-counter in order to counter an expected Discord-mono. Instead, kept the wings in-hand (until lethal turn, for fun) and pushed the Sky-n-Eye damage for the win.
Spoiler for Game 5 loss, Entropy<--Darkness {per ian ruling} (illegal 2nd use of Entropy):

Gb4by drew FIVE AM's during course of this game... FIVE! Which had me, admittedly, a tad enraged inside losing to the whittling of Micros+Disco and 5-Antimatters.
Then as I'm preparing my post-match summary post I tried to find where I used Darkness mark in the match and I hadn't... my game 5 was an illegal second-use of Entropy. Suddenly, a bit Ok with losing it that way so I was not upset at myself for dERp-ing.
I'm proving to be a very middling 12 Lives'er... 2-3 3-2 3-2 3-2!
Swap
-->
(pending further contemplation depending on confirmation from ian what happens with my game 5 illegal deck regarding which element/mark is lost when using an element a 2nd time)<-- confirming my swap after ian's ruling (edit 2018-06-07)
Thanks again for the match and enjoy rest of the event Gb4by - always good to encounter players I've not faced before.
