Game 1 (Win): Expected Discake, so I went with something that was durable against that. Drew 0 Lightnings this game but fortunately I drew my Fahrenheit, a good number of both Immolation and Sparks, and an average supply of Phoenix to keep me ahead in the damage race.

Game 2 (Win): Predicted him to go with something with Bone Walls and CC to counter Immolation and that looks like what ended up happening. Set up Bone Wall ASAP just in case he did have Discord and from then it was just pressing the spacebar until I had enough quanta for the Bolts to kill while Poison chipped away at his HP.

Game 3 (Loss): Wasn't sure what to expect but decided to go ahead and use essentially the same good ol' reliable from the last GvG round. Discord + EQ is borderline autoloss, though I did at least think I had a chance whenever my Death quanta reached 4 early on in the game. Discord kept setting that back quite a bit though. Since he had Poisons in his deck there wasn't much of a way to stall with Bone Walls late in the game since he had 3 damage dealers out by the time I played my first one.

Game 4 (Win): Once again wasn't really sure what to go with here but I knew that he didn't really have much for Dims, and Fractix is a strong PvP deck in general, so I may as well use a version that has some ways of softening the blows from Discord. Very nice starting hand here, minus the fact that I drew 0 Phoenix initially. I was able to play Dims pretty much in sync with Fractals, which helped reduce the amount of Poison he was able to put on me with Arsenic. Skull Shield appearing after I Immo'd my first Phoenix made me really, really wish I had taken Deflags after all. ian BB'd my first Phoenix after I didn't rebirth the Ash, forcing me to wait a turn before I could draw another and start Fractaling my Phoenix. From there it was mainly just a matter of clearing out my hand as much as possible so that I could try and get off as much damage as I could with Fractal. Once his Grey Nymph appeared I had to start Immolating Cells to keep my field clear for Fractal. Now, on my second to last turn I was in a position to wait for the next turn to come around so that I could Fractal my original Phoenix that had gotten BB'd after it Rebirth'd, but I realized that he probably had another BB waiting for that. So instead I opted to Immolate a Skeleton, Fractal the BB'd Ash, and then spammed the field with 8 Ash. He BB'd some of them but there were too many to prevent me from finishing him off once the remaining Ash Rebirth'd next turn.
