Saw light pillars and thought, ehh, no SS, I should be able to do this. He started getting quanta and played a light drag, while I thought shiite. Rage pots fail horribly. Rage potted a magio twice, and tried to get a flying faren going (in hindsite, shoulda left in wep slot). Faren got lightninged, had to Gpull magio in order to survive another turn or two. Think I died when he had 26 hp left.
Spoiler for Game 2-Catitans vs. Pestal - WIN:

This deck is ofc the one deck I have that is terribly supsceptible to devourers. He ended up having a slow start while I had a fast one. Got out 3 titans, don't even think I needed catapult. When he played a vamp I gravpulled a titan, He eclipsed, and it was taking damage. Topdecked a grav pull, pulled my 2nd out of 3 titans and finished him off for the win.
Spoiler for Game 3-Chaotic Badgers vs. Sanc stall -WIN:

However, my chaotic badgers don't pay any attention to sancs (look at last round, beat bog with them too), and considering he didn't draw a sanc for like 6 turns, I got him down. We had a glitch at last turn. He was at 5 hp, while I had about 30 damage on the field, and a diss shield with 20 odd entropy quanta. He lightninged me from 12 hp to 7, and his MG glitched, hitting through diss shield and killing me on his screen. I won on my screen. Majofa gave me the win, after a LOT of deliberation.
Spoiler for Game 4-Dunes vs. Fracluses- LOSS:

Unfortunately, he rapidly started playing flesh recluses, great hand, he had 4 of them in like the first 4 turns. Chained my dials a turn too early, although I ended up chaining 5 of them (woo topdecks!). Game ended cuz my dial-chain failed, he had 13 poison counters on 12 Hp. Close game as well.
Spoiler for Game 5-Catsicles vs. Fractix - LOSS:

Was hoping for PU drags or something, but it was fractix ofc. Drew a bunch of freezes, but that doesn't matter when you don't draw a trebuchet and your opponent has like 10 MP's on the field (and he can cremate frozen ones). Got rushed by 2 turns I believe.
Spoiler for Game 6-DBH vs. Ghostal - WIN:

Got out a 1st turn Discord (SOOOO Close to zeroth turn, 2 upped, 1 unupped pends) while he got out an upped ghost. I Gpulled my magio, and it took a couple hits, I was mostly trying to draw out RT. His ghost started beating me down, so I saved an AM in hand, waited 2 extra turns, and played a charger to draw out CC. It worked, it got lightninged, so I AM'd his 9 ak GoTp. Ended up winning by 1 turn, right after he fractaled ghosts. I had 9 hp left, and exactly 5 gravy quanta, just enough to play a charger. Very close game
Spoiler for Game 7-Catatitans yet again vs. Lightningbow - LOSS:

Would have have failed horribly. As it turns out he had a grabbow, where this would have had a very good chance at winning. Went with catatitans again, mostly because of sundials, and resistent to lightning. Could have won if not for a deflag on my trebuchet, shook it off and started chaining dials. 2 turns away from winning, I played a heal, giving me a win w/ a lucky topdeck. Unfortunately, he chained 3 lightnings on my hp and his critters got me down. Nice job holding those btw. If he hand't, I would have been 1 turn away, and won if I drew a nova.
Fantastic Games UTAlan, I knew Aether was going to be a pain in the butt, and you sure delivered. Congratz on Budosei
On a second note: thank you Glennfoo for being utterly supportive during the entire phase 2.
On a third note: This is just for me, but I think I did pretty good for this being my first forum event
.
On a final, and fourth note: Look at some of these games, and look at some of mine vs. Bogtro. Hard counters don't exist, this game is pure RNG lol.
