^This, and sorry about what happened there kirch, we blundered on you. 
On that note, I didn't check this thread until later, but were our mono attempts really ineffective?
I tested several deck possibilities against the 7 1st round 
decks and the mono light beatdown performed the worst, going 16-19 against their decks, while others I tested had around 10 losses. That being said, although I was least confident in this deck upon testing, it actually may have given us the best chance for victory in this match. They threw so many dragons at us that match, that a more offensive approach probably was the best idea. AM may have helped, but I suspect in order to have a proper defensive counter, dim shields may have been a good choice, but are unavailable to us. In the future, if we suspect dragons, I would suggest we either rush, or go discords + AM given our deck choices.
Agreed. Here's what I threw together:
