Me vs Hisar ()

Easy win, went exactly as I dreamed it would be. Darkness Nymphs pwn Firefly Queens so bad, it ruins their entire strategy and gives a huge card advantage. Double salvage only hurts the insult, I don't expect FFQ anytime soon from them again.
We made a tactical error revealing our Darkness Mark cards this early though, now we won't get free EQ salvage anymore
Second game went less smooth where those Liquid Shadows we removed could've proven useful since I had to draw one of two Nymphs early to survive. Luck was on my side though, and came in my hand right when I needed it, RNG lubs me ♥
Cloak was never required or not drawn when it was, but might've proven necessary with an early eagle (or owl, or whatevah), though Steal would've done that better.

R2: Me vs Lt. vagman

Lockbow doesn't really have a good chance vs nova + immo deck. And EQ is almost useless in this match.

In game 1, I barely manage to do any damage. A couple of devourers came early but it can't stop the nova + immo combo. Managed to use RT and lightning but it's too late to recover. In game 2, vagman had a slow start and I have an early arsenic. Managed to play a gargoyle a few turns after that. However, devourers were nowhere to be found which prevented me for playing the dragons. I just couldn't do enough damage. If I remember correctly, he was at 6 hp in the final turn where he killed me.

Note: I believe entropy knew that we were expecting mono from them.

jaymanfu vs einherjar145

Well im very glad I didn't see the entropy mark. But first game I only started with 1 pend and he did an early black hole which REALLY hurt me bad. I think I had to discard 3-4 cards. His arsenic just kept poisoning me since I couldn't even get enough quanta to steal it till I had 7 poison. But after seeing him play and how his deck was very slow and slow on quanta I knew I had a good chance and was able to turn it around the next 2 games and get the wins.

With an animated heavily-Blessed Stiletto on the field early in both games, his creatures had problems dealing enough damage to overcome my vampiric healing. Add a Crusader who Endows the aforementioned Stiletto and your current rate of damage and healing more than double. My Animate Weapons evaded his Deflags and smart play evaded the worst of the Earthquakes. Only the Fog Shield posed a potential problem, as misses provide no healing, but the h4x shield didn't do enough to overcome the inevitable. More CC could have been problematic, as Crusaders have only 4HP prior to Endowing a weapon.

Summary:

Wrong deck, we happened to run into the one deck we didn't want to see, better luck next time, but now we know they're not afraid to stall us without Sanctuaries. Right deck, battle went as planned, though I was somewhat lucky on the nymph draws. Not that 2-1 wouldn't have been a huge difference Don't think they'll go with Firefly Queens anytime soon again. Wrong deck, denial won't help against immo/nova rushes much. Right deck, they just keep bringing decks weak to rewind :3 Time to watch out for GotP counters next round. Versatile deck, Vader could beat almost anything, but we got to watch out for future fog shields, they won't always go in our favor enough. Right deck, they went with a control oriented deck, as expected. Deflags were dangerous, but it turned out allright Versatile deck, wrong draws. We don't really have that much to counter Adrenaline, besides Liquid Shadow, which is what that deck needs to survive in case of heavy damage Wings could work, wings, wings, wings... but we only have that many. Perfect deck, they fell right for it, poor suckers

R3: Me vs DevilLoss (2-0)

Nothing much to tell here. We anticipated the deck and counter it perfectly.

Game 1 went smoothly - chain wings, played Dragons, stole sanctuaries and win. In game 2, thanks to the disturbance of one of Kaker's ally, I made a mistake for not playing wings after purify. But it doesn't hurt much since I managed to play another nova+purify soon after while trying to play minimum amount of cards.

Me vs hrmmm ()

Went well, no Fire Stall, no Crusaders, Rewind, nothing. This matchup was basically a cakewalk, hrmmm's draws being a nice topping for that Apparently didn't see it coming, no idea what they were expecting, since they did sacrifice a good deck against us.

  Lt. Wizardcat v. Kakerlake (Sub for Kamietsu) 

Grabbow versus Grabbow. Our CC worked better than theirs, as the loss of Shriekers on their side slowed their offense so much that the delay from the Basilisk Blood wore off before the game was over. Also, some of our cards were much more useful in this match-up. Mind Flayers did little for them, and our Liquid Shadow on a Shrieker is much more viable after six turns of Basilisk Blood, and it also does a great job as CC for the Lycan or Mind Flayers.

Lockbow vs Modded artic infection

Smart playing of EQs and CC cards allowed devs to get burrowed before they could be taken out, brought out dragons each time, and if LS hadn't been used used it to keep HP up.

  Mithcairion vs.  thedictator

There are many small things that lead to this, but added up they made for a huge difference between our decks.  The first thing was that his deck was very, very fast between the Novas and the Immos.  The second was the Forest Spirits and Steam Machines, which ramped damage very nicely for him and I had no way to remove.  The thing that slowed me down the most, though, were the second turn Mind Flayers in both games.  This caused me to hold my vamps and I simply couldn't recover from having to hold them.  Also, the Discord that made an appearance in the second game was a game-changer.  If not for that, I would've been able to take that game.  Instead, my quanta was almost reset and there was little I could do until it was too late.

Me vs Hisar

If I fractalled vamps early enough, I won.
Did it one game, didn't 2 others.

Me vs gavsword ()
Winning Coin Toss twice ftw
It seems the deck almost caught them off guard, and a bit of luck helped me win the second. Looking back at it, upped Gargs rather than Graboids might've been better, to spread the sources of Damage.
