Recap
worldwideweb3, Ginyu, and iancudorinmarian been eliminated or otherwise taken out of the event, removing the restrictions on Fahrenheit, Fire Bolt, and Nova.
Possession of the Space Stone has transferred from worldwideweb3 to PlayerOa.
Possession of the Soul Stone has transferred from mathman101 to Submachine.
Possession of the Reality Stone has transferred from iancudorinmarian to Wyand.

Spoiler for Lore:

Ebony Maw, the last of the Children of Thanos, survived the attack from Iron Man, slaying him in the process. He now moves on to Starlord, the hero in possession of not only the Power Stone, but the Reality Stone as well. Whoever emerges victorious will be halfway there to omnipotence.

Meanwhile, Spiderman has returned from hiding to take down Red Skull, a renegade who once possessed the Soul Stone. But no stone will be found, for it has since passed to The Hulk, whose attacks against Falcon may destroy the Avengers from within.

The possibility of facing either a stall, SoPa wardens or RT graboids was pretty high so decided to start with SoWyrms. Adrenalined Stone Dragons barely outrushed me.

I knew he would expect this deck, but couldn't bear with getting eliminated without at least trying the darkdom. Seems like an easy win for me until... a protected Gravity Shield shows up. Yeah. Well played by Sub, unfortunately he got the combo out a little too late. My lone damselfly and a nightmare chipped down his final ten hitpoints.

Coin toss between this and SoWyrms, chose a RoL Hope replay. Obviously should have picked up the Wyrms, as it would have crushed him, but my army of suns took him down before SoPa could grow his creatures big enough.

Congrats Mobian, and I was stupid as hell, won't explain.
Of course I made the worst choices in the most important match,
bad mindset. Gotta remember this.

G1: LOSS

Spoiler for Hidden:

Figured that an NT DBH trio is less vulnerable than a simple DBH, so I took this one. TBH after G1 I didn't understand why didn't
I just follow my earlier matches pattern... Mobian's deck was good enough to wreck any sort of Discord-based deck.
Sadly I concentrated too much on quantalock, so I made an Amber first (after the Queen ofc). I wanted to push dmg so I
made Queens, instead of making at least 1 Purple. That was a mistake, but at that point I thought damage is more important.
(And I kinda thought that my stolen Disco and the devs will deny me of using the ability. Plus I had to kill that pesky GP'd SoF.)
Mobian survived with 8 hp remaining.

Spoiler for Added after a bit of a testing.:

You were right in chat, Mobian. You were lucky in this game. Trainer has a great difficulty
winning against my deck, and I'm accounting its errors, too. Nevertheless your deck was well-built,
and earned the victory.

G2: LOSS

Spoiler for Hidden:

Sorta expected SoV, but wanted to be safe against DevTal, too. Here, iancu, a SoSe deck from me. Since SoV didn't come,
my PC cards got less useful, and since it was an ugly cheap dark-life deck, Discord didn't mean much. I had a dismal draw,
2nd SoSe came around card#15-16, most of those cards were pillars, only a shockwave proved useful. Other SoSe deck had
more CC, would have given me an edge. Or the stall. Damn.

OK, what now? Let's play a quicker deck, like Discofrogs. Even if I choose stall, his damned hand would have just killed me in 2 secs.
5TTW, dammit! 3 Novas quickly and a Gargoyle each turn! It was hopeless.

Wow was this a tense match I lost the toss, but dropped 4 quanta and 2 Damsels on my first turn, he countered with his reculse on turn 2 and I followed with a squid to freeze his damage. He played a turn 3 Vagger (I knew his Vaggers would be what decided the match, I'd hoped I'd brought enough PC to kill them, but I wasn't sure) I played a Toadie on my third turn and settled into the wait for an Icebolt ... lucky for me I top decked one on turn 4 to kill his dagger. But he played his second and only remaining dagger on turn 5! Lucky I topdecked a second bolt, but couldn't find the Shockwave to go with it ... I got nightmared with an almost empty hand and then my third bolt failed to freeze his Vagger (I'd finally drawn into a Shockwave). I squeeked out a win by exact damage one turn before he would have won.

I Used The Mind Stone ... and still almost failed

I came out of the gate pretty fast, Shockwaved his first Frog and had purify in my opening hand. I topdecked Fog the turn I played purify and it blocked 80% of his remaining Arsenic attacks.

I had a Miracle, a Sanc, an EE & 2 Shockwaves in my opening hand along with quanta. I drew a second Miracle early for extra security and sat on a bunch of CC wondering what on earth he was playing. But with limited damage in the deck he was going to need an incredible draw to beat me ... and even then the two Miracles I had would probably have been enough.

early EE made me hesitant to play my AW for my weapons. I tried to play my arse early in hopes to wittle down the health enough for a epi burst before miracle, but the turn i could play 2 weapons with epi+AW for and extra 18 damage(+12 poison), was the turn he played miracle. I had no chance after that.

Best of luck to all those that reamin in the event.

It's lucky that Jen won the first game, as Stiletto was banned for math and would have resulted in a loss anyway.

[Mobian]

Sonofabitch, you're completely right! I overlooked it cause I thought he still had the Soul Stone, but YOU had it!

[mathman101]

oops, i somehow missed that while deckbuilding, oddly kinda glad i lost it so i didn't see a win turn to a loss after the fact.

thanks Sub for pointing that out. kinda wish you mentioned it before i played it though
