3D: 1
Malduk: 2
Originally I wanted to go with the rainbow so I could splash purify. Anything with purify would have been nice. He ran poisons, arsenics, mummies, plagues. Won the first round, in textbook fashion, early dev's, fractaled devs, stolen Aresenic, fractaled Dragon, lost the next two. Every game I was loaded up with poison. Second game I had no starting devourers, and so I had little chance. Third game was close, but I couldn't get the denial out before there were threats on the table and poison racked up. By the time I had the quanta for a fractal, I was half dead and fighting to beat off poison. Never saw a shield from him, never drew one of my own.
Fractal Dev is entirely predictable from darkness, and in this case, was entirely predicted and prepared for. Deck I went with:
5ul 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5uo 5up 5up 5uq 5ur 5us 5us 5ut 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 622 622 622 622 622
Need to discard 6.
I am good with any discard decisions made. I'll not be on much this week, as I am in Mexico as mentioned before.
Good luck everyone. I will go drown my sorrows in Tequila.
