vs entropy:
pandebonium, SNBow, DBHbow won
pugon dim thing, SoI rush lost
3/5 nova rush decks
last war:
dim fractal archangel lost vs monoentropy (but it was really close)

This is a tough one. I don't think we can build a better novabow than entropy, and so I don't think we should try to aim for that mirror match. In my (rather extensive) experience playing fatass stalls against grabbows, I have found that the fatass stall usually wins. I don't think entropy would dare using that particular SoI deck against us when we have mirror shield, though they might have six sofr / other shard to use in its place, so we can't count on that. I'm not sure how pandebonium does vs rol/hope; on the one hand, most of the rays will die, but on the other, we can do the fractal thing on a saved RoL, plus it is likely some will survive anyway. Again, I think with a bit of healing, that it could work, but we might want rol/hope elsewhere.
1) Air/Light stall. I think that this could beat grabbow and pandebonium with very good odds. If they throw SoP into a grabbow, that would probably doom us, especially if a bit of PC is thrown in, which it almost certainly would be. PC alone would not stop the stall, though, unless it was something like pulverizer, and even then, they'd have a hard time making a viable deck that could use it more than a few times. My one worry would be that they play the fractal dragon/dim thing. That would be basically a guaranteed loss for the air/light stall. It's also the deck I played last round, and I'm the one up against entropy, so they might be expecting it.
Which brings us to...
2) Aether/light stall. Six dims and however many sundials would be pretty much autoloss for the fractal dragon deck; they'd never get through. They might swap lobos for discords, and that's fine; in my experience, dims usually beat discords. It still does alright against the grabbows, but with only 1 lightning, we haven't exactly got CC to burn the way we do in Air.
3) RoL/hope. Seems like it should do alright, but I'd like to see testing against the pandebonium and the fractal dragon/dim deck first if possible.
outlier:
4) Pugons. I think that honestly, this is a terrible choice. However, it would be absolutely HILARIOUS if they brought the SoI deck and we just PUed all their shard golems... because they swapped out SoW to duck our mirror shields.
