When i got the water mark for this matchup i thought i had no chance in testing. When i tested i didn't get any air pillars in all 4 games in the first 5 turns or so. In the game though i pulled an air pillar at the beginning every time. Thanks for the games Ralouf =)
Game 1 - Wasn't exactly sure what he would bring but i figured it would be PU something. The going was slow at first since with only one air pillar it took me 6 turns to get out my OE. Ralouf was equally slow and tossed out a phase dragon which made me go crap since it rendered my OE useless. At this point i wasn't positive he was using PU's so i popped up a wall dropped some wardens and had my OE tick away. Fortunately for me i had a healthy supply of bonewalls in hand and Ralouf decided to play his hand and drop his emerald and jade dragons and PU them. He also froze both my wardens as well. I was able to get another warden out though and i was able to weather the storm killing off dragons when i could, replinishing my walls, and guarding his dragons. I never found an animate weapon but i did find a graveyard which actually was necessary because i won on the last turn and the extra 2 Hp the skellie took allowed me to win.
Game 2 - This game Ralouf played a bit more cautiously. I had a better first half of cards this hand with me able to get out a flying OE with my OE and 2 wardens out. Ralouf wasn't able to get out any phase dragons and midway through he burst with 5 dragons and froze my OE and a warden. Unfortunately for ralouf though he couldn't get through my walls as my OE's and wardens locked him down.
In the end i feel i got a bit lucky. I needed an air pillar, earth pend, bonewalls, early OE and vandiums all out in a reasonable time frame which i got both games. Also if Ralouf had been able to up all his dragons to jade i wouldn't have been able to kill them fast enough to win. These games easily could have gone the other way (and probably should have) but i will take it.
