I combined my fears of wings and EQ into a deck that countered both.  Huge quanta draw for me allowed my creatures to come out fast, and srm just couldn't catch up.
1-0

Thinking that the large pilar/pend split would scare him away from EQs, I went with a Bonebolt Fractal Dragon deck.  He brought EQs, but my high death quanta start allowed me to get a dragon and an arsenic out.  For a little while it was bone wall against bone wall, until I drew my second dragon and lightning'd one of his spiders.  His EQs did little harm to me once I had the dragons out.
2-0

Because he just used flying weapons and I was afraid of them, I decided to toss some RTs into my dragon/mummy rush.  He showed up with a water deck, and I had a decent draw, getting a mummy out on the second turn and a dragon soon after.  Srm then started to use plague, killing my mummy and lowering the health of my dragon while his spiders and poison kept attacking.  I played my second dragon and smartly RT'd my poison'd dragon the turn before it was going to die, ensuring the win.
3-1

Good games Srm, they were entertaining.  I enjoyed playing against you and hope we meet again sometime soon.  Big thanks to bogtro for helping build some of these decks.

Almost pulled a monorush thinking he would use time. I was right about time, but I still used a different deck.
Probably should have cut this down a bit. Never drew an Ice Shield.

Thanks a ton RNG! You are the sweetest...

Game 1: His deck was illegal (unknowingly used a deck from last round), but he had a horrible draw with no novas for his graboids.  I beat him down in 8 turns pretty easily.

Game 3: He failed horribly speedbuilding a discord, nightmare, and devourer deck???  Attributed to being awake at 1 A.M.   Delayed his discord from 1st turn to maybe 4th? and adrenaguards beat him down.

This deck has 14 upped cards, you are only allowed to use 12 this round. That match stands at 2-1 in Laxadarap's favor.

Whoopsy daisy, messed that up as I was splitting Pends >.<.  So do we play the same decks with me fixing the ups? Or is it a complete new "duel/battle/whatever"?

majofa said the match stands at 2-1, so I would assume that you continue from that point.

Against his Antimatter DissShield deckout - unloseable for me unless he had Pandas, which I didn't see. Normally I would win the long game with Pulvy + Physalia but as it turned out he never had a DissShield and I was able to mutate away his AM with my Druid. (Win)

Against Discord rush splash RTs - He had fast Discord while I had not a whole lot of pillars and his RTs helped vs my AM and Nymphs. It may have turned out differently if my double Chaos Seed had taken down his dragon (instead did GPull + Poison), but as it was he pressured me too much to lock him down. (Loss)

Game 1 (Win): Expecting gravy shield deck, and cal speed build a counter for me. He is playing peggy with a bad draw, while I had a good quanta supply and keep playing creatures. Outrushed him pretty easily.
Game 2 (Lose): Wondering if they didn't realise gravy shield blocks light Saw Earth mark/Gravy pillar and smiled then a gravy shield hit on my face sealing my fate.
Game 3 (Lose): A little mod from the most basic newbie-friendly FG grinder but when you get all 4 Hopes in starting with 1 pend start, you know you couldn't win anything except maybe AI0.
Game 4 (Win): Cal quickly modded my RT splash deck (game 2) into a Lightning splash deck, which is proofed to be very versatile. Anthraxx went for peggies again, and I got a great draw again. Didn't managed to bolt his second peggy, but Lightnings in hand allows me to kill him with exact damage
Game 5 (Win): Decide to go with the same deck as it can answer to most decks. Anthraxx ran a UG deck with a lot of sancs, which kinda slows down my attack, but I still managed to outrushed him.

Very fun games Anthraxx, thanks for the match. And special award goes to cal who build two winning decks
