RNG not with me today

[Zawadx]

I hope Vine being eliminated does not remove our ability to use this round?

[majofa]

It won't till next.

[mrpaper]

Does the score matters at all if both players manage to get a win?  I mean if it is 1-1 or 2-1 after being 2-0... does it changes anything to finish the match or it is just for fun?
Asking this as I ain't sure if Sera will find time to play the whole match at once... and well if it is 1-1... i'm good with a tie 

[Afdarenty]

As mentioned elsewhere, I won't be around for the next two weeks. Feel free to give inthisroom an activity win. Sadly I wasn't thinking this far ahead when I signed up.

vs The Deck. Had a great start, and he did not get any CC which made this a quick win.

vs The Deck. Also got a good start, but he also had an early sanc then a pande. He had enough quanta for an upped miracle at the last turn, but looks like he didn't draw one.

vs Immorush. Terrible start for him, as he didn't draw any fodder. I got a Grey out fairly early, which killed the only Phoenix and Golem he was able to play.

Great games! We decided to play from 1-1, even though there wasn't much point.

Thought this matchup favoured me, but my damage was too slow due to a fairly late SoPa.

Game 2 vs. Immo Phoenix

All six Dragons drawn very early meant I had a very slow start, but was eventually able to pull ahead in the damage race.

Game 3 vs. Golem Pulvy

Was expecting Steel Golems here, but not with Pulverizer. duke BB'd his AM'd creatures, and without Dusk or Dagger staying on the field for more than a couple of turns, my Drains were not enough to stop his high HP creatures.

Game 4 vs. Devquake

Think the coin toss decided this one. duke got one Earthquake off before I could Fractal, which led to a slow mid-game - my quanta generation was slow, but his was completely locked. Finally got a Fractal off on a Minor Vampire, allowing me to stabilize and take the win.

Game 5 vs. Golem Pulvy

An incredible start here meant I didn't even get to play my Voodoo combo. All five Graboids came very early, combined with early Nova draws, and a turn 1 Vagger and Fog.
