Yeah, I completely blame that last one on RNG screwage. Other than that, great games.
Game 1: rainbow rush- Loss
52q 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rm 5rm 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rr 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 77j 7ae 7ds 7gm 7q3 80g
Ironically, this is the only phase 2 deck I spent considerable time on- even going so far as to get other peoples' help on it! Only saw the frog, recluse, and crawler during the first game, and a bunch of time pillars/pends (plus a precog or two), low number of creatures hurt this deck.
Game 2: rainbow rush- Loss
52q 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rm 5rm 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rr 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 77j 7ae 7ds 7gm 7q3 80g
Yeah, I used it again. I figured he'd think I'd use a different deck, so I stuck to my guns. only saw the arsenic, frog, and recluse this time, but my dragons decided to play. On the last turn that mattered, I got the ONE card that wouldn't help me- the quicksand.
Game 3: entropy duo- Win
4vd 4vd 4vd 4vl 4vl 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rr 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 7q0 7q3 7q8 7qb 7qb
I decided that my rainbow was too much of a fail with only 10 off-element cards- so I decided to go with something else and fake kuro out- I knew time's two most-used creatures- dragon and scarab- had higher attack than HP, so I decided last-second to put in demons instead of antimatter and nymphs. Since he used a blitz deck, I clearly made the right decision
Of course, RNG decided to have a word with me and gave me a handfull of entropy stuff and no scorps until I had 15 cards- otherwise it wouldn't have been as close (if I'd played my discord earlier and not tried to fake him out it would have probably delayed him a bit longer).
Game 4: RoL/hope trio- Loss
5la 5la 5lk 5lk 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rk 5rk 5ro 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7q0 7q5 7q5 7q8 80i 80i 80i 80i
Again trying to fake him out, and figuring he'd go with pharaohs, I decided to run a RoL/hope deck- hoping he'd think I was trying to chain shields. As always with light/time, I put in dials so I could push up my off-elemen and upgraded card allowances- and it might have worked... except I drew THREE fractals first turn and had both hopes in the bottom 10 cards- kuro slowing me down by rewinding my RoLs didn't help much either. This game I completely blame on RNG screwage, but that's how elements is.
Epic games, though I really should have scrapped that rainbow earlier- it would need 50% off-element to work, I think.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention... I was gonna use this if I won the fourth game:
5bs 5lk 5lk 5lk 5oj 5oj 5oj 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rk 5rk 5rl 5ro 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 7ac 7ac 7af 7af 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q4 7q5 7q5 7q8
Modified version of my FFQ/hope from my match with belthazar. I felt it would be fitting to end with the deck that sealed my earlier victory- whichever way it went- but sadly the RNGod decided it wasn't to be.
