I think that I will not have time to me play these matches, my moden arrive in some day this week and in cyber coofe I not have much concentration.
I think it is not worth holding the group waiting for me, but if a player wants to play with me to attempt a classification, I can go back in tomorrow here in cyber coofe
Please refer to any of my forum PM's to get our match going. Name your time and I'll do everything I can to accommodate it. (Note: A review of the standings would shed considerable light on my angst to get this match played.) If we do not play (and you cannot finish all 7 matches) then I have 0% to advance from the current point.

Game 1 - WIN (1-0). I ran a quanta split with my 4 upgrades. Drew all four keeping the quanta well spread and allowing me to swarm to victory.
Game 2 - LOSS (1-1). Fifteen quanta in a 30 card deck. Draw two through top 10 cards and get stall-rushed into submission.
*Game 3 - PvPO decision upcoming... After further reviewing the situation, I believe Vang and TorB unofficial opinion of illegal deck (by Vangelios) to be correct. If a Nymph Tears with earth pend and water pill/pend deck is legal in this group (many of us have played such decks in Round 1 deemed alright) by way of it being a Water 'mono' (for WC purposes), then a subsequent deck using Nymph Tears with water pill/pend and a certain available
but not selected for this matchp (I believe this tidbit may be irrelevant) element's pends would also be considered a Water 'mono' (in WC). If correct, this means Vang used Mono-water in game 1 (legally) and game 3 (illegally). This reasoning is the support for Vang and I's posting of the match as 3-2 in my favor. Submachine and majofa should post a ruling on this ASAP to clear it up for us. Thanks!
Game 4 - LOSS. I tried Vang's game 2 deck against him. He was ready and easily cruised to a win. At this point, we had decided to play a game 5 no matter what to make sure the PvPO decision on game 3 would not result in a one-game playoff later.
Game 5 - WIN. Vang was left with only one mono to choose. I wanted to use the same mono but had already done so in game 1. Hence, I switched the mark and used pillar/tower only quanta and splashed a one-cost card off mark (x5 of card). I know, I could have simply put one card from that element - any card - in my deck and ignored it as a dead card and been legal. However, it just didn't feel right. I had the slightly superior quanta draw in a near mirror match and pulled of a 1-ish turn victory.
Go Vange, defeat dragons 3-0 and give me a glimmer of hope to advance!
(No pressure though - your skill will shine through in the match for sure!)
