kevkev 3 - dracomageat 2
This was... not a tremendous amount of fun. lol. Too many desyncs.
We desync'd a bunch of times trying to get the game going, a portent of things to come. draco used a 30-card dimshield/mindgate deck. During the first real game he CS'd my phase spider, rewinding it, which made it look as if I'd deck him. 10 cards out we desync'd. The next game I lost the toss and I didn't get a rewind. We desync'd late but I'm confident I would've decked so I just gave it to him.

The ugliest rush you ever did see. I found a great mix of EQs, pillars, and damage. He was one quanta short of getting his first shield up in time.

During G2 I realized draco hadn't taken any damage cards. We desync'd halfway through but he conceded.

I figured he'd bump up to a fatter deck and rather than build a 60-card deckout and let the coinflip decide I decided to give the ugliest rush another shot. Playing is more fun than not playing. He had plenty of quanta this time and found 4-5 shields in his fattened deck.

With no PC and no real rush I just decided to strap on a 60-card deck and leave it to a coinflip if need be. draco took something like 50 cards. We desync'd (of course), allowing him to see my deck before I saw his. He deserves a lot of credit for conceding rather than backing out and making his deck 60 cards. Thanks for the matches and staying true to your moral compass, draco. I promise the next time we play it'll be more fun. :))

Game 1: I won the coin toss, so he went second and was 1 card down from me. That was pretty much what sealed the game, after we started I realized i should have made it 31 cards, but thankfully RNG came through and I didn't need it. Tons of fast Pillars for me, combined with slow quanta from dd (I instantly knew toadies from Water mark/Air pends, and was relieved once I saw OE as it meant he wouldn't have Dragons). 2 Aboms met a Wings, after which I did nothing but put up a Diss Field and play Pillars. We desynced halfway through, but dd conceded as his damage was never going to break by quanta before the generation>his damage.

Game 2: Toadies meant to Steal and no Pulvy, the only 2 PC cards on the board. Thus I felt confident in this deck, slightly less so when I saw AN Aether mark from him and hoped it wasn't Minggate vs. Mindgate. He was playing a weird trio, :time/ :light/ :aether, with Dune Scorps, Blessings, and Phase Shields, respectively. Didn't see anything else. Good fortune meant I won the toss again and he'd deck our first, which was no trouble at all seeing the amount of Shields I got from dd plus my own.
(Same deck as above, with 3 Aether and 2 Time Factories added. The Time Factories because if he had Eternity it'd be easy to deck me out, but he'd have to run pends with a Time mark to stop me from being able to play a copy. They were insurance that didn't work out)
Game 3: Saw a 40 card deck and hoped he had Eternity, but alas, to no avail. Pretty slow game, he had Wings, so even though I eventually got a 46/41 Phase Recluse out and 5 3/4 Scorps, nothing happened. I decked out.

Game 4: Didn't expect Eternity since he didn't have one last game, so a 60 card stall was the way to go. Had dd used Dims instead of Wings here, he'd have won, however, an early Dragon+Archangel rushed him too fast. He still have close, though, 2 turns away from killing me with Scorps.
GGs, dd.

This was my basic strategy. Steal was sitting next to a 5 Relic spot, I doubted that it'd be taken. Admittedly, I did overlook Pulverizer, but I figured I'd use Chargers as damage to get past any other Shield I might need to worry about. Lightning was to either stop enemies with Momentum or finish off the opponent earlier than scheduled.

I tried using this to take control of the board. Turns out, 1 Eternity can't control anything, it can only stall for time.

Now I just wanted to dump Chargers as fast as possible and kill as many of HIS chargers as they came out. I ALMOST rushed him with Gravity, but he managed to fly 1 OE and get an EE on the field at the LAST possible moment to prevent me from sneaking in the win.
Long Story Short. My decks could handle his Pulvy + EQ, but could not handle Chargers + Eagles Eye. I SHOULD have been able to pull out the first win though. 3 Dim Shields were hiding in the last 8 cards of my deck. His only damage was EE's. I might have squeaked out a win had I stalled until the last possible second then spammed Chargers and used remaining lightnings on his hp. I was denied my chance when a didn't top deck a shield :\

Very sad that my opponent vanished mid-match, especially when I carved out time from my family vacation to play this match in one of the two 1-hour windows my opponent gave me. Totally bummed.
