Lobo made him nervous for a minute.
I tryed to hold back on dimensional shields. 8)
Hard to win against that many ups. Budo seems unfair this late on.

RootRanger is going to make it really tough for him this time, I'm sure.

Thanks to Afdarenty and Blacksmith for help and advice.They are real team members.

Pella 3:1 DANIEELA

I was allowed 20 ups per deck.  Aether is the element I play the least, so I didn't have the cards to play 20 ups in one deck.  My opponent was allowed 8 ups per deck.  This advantage proved to be the deciding point of the match.


Duel #1 (WIN):  Psion/Spider-tal

The only real difference between our decks was the number of ups; they were essentially identical.  We started by matching each other creature for creature, CC for CC.  In a few turns, though, my greater quanta supply and more abundant upgraded creatures outrushed her.


Duel #2 (LOSS):  Ghostal

She had Psions; I had Dims.
I had Ghosts; she had Dims.
Final result:  EM.


Duel #3 (WIN):  Psion/Spider-tal (same deck as #1)
I decided to go back to the deck that gave me advantages both in ups and rushing ability.  RNG kept her Chaos Spiders <= 5HP, so they were easy pickings for my Lightning.  Outrushed, plain and simple.


Duel #4 (WIN):  Psion/Spider-tal (same deck as #1)
This deck was performing so well under the match conditions that I saw no reason to switch.  She definitely gave me a run for my money in this duel, though.
I had a very slow quanta start, with only one tower in my first 8 cards.  During the first half of the duel, I had no more than 4 quanta per turn, so I had to choose between playing a Psion or using Lightning on her creatures.  I chose to play Psions in hopes of outrushing her again.  Her Dims were no match for my Psions--until her Lobo appeared.  She Lobo'd all three Psions I had on the field, but by then I had managed to scrape together enough quanta to Fractal my Psions.  It still took me several more turns to deplete her HP, but once I Fractal'd, it was only a matter of time.

Good match!  Very well fought, especially under the conditions.  I tip my hat to your valiant effort.
