Wow, and here all this time I thought I was the only one the RNG trolled hard, just for fun.

Wait until calin posts his decks :p

Shame on you for calling RNG like this for that loss(against that you considered underdog because he lost 2-3 against you in round 1), considering that in 2 of the games you call RNG on I had a 1 pillar start.

Will the rules be the same?

Bumping this question again before I'm posting the decks.

I'll let people decide for themselves after decks are posted, but Game 1 was the only one you had a clear advantage in.  (and game 3, but the deck was illegal; would've been your advantage even if it was legal)  And you didn't have any one pillar starts, except maybe the monoair, but damselflies are basically pillars anyway.

A bit late, but here are my decks.

Game 1: Win. Not the best draw, and my AMs weren't too helpful, but Mono Entropy is just too OP to go down without a fight.

Game 2: Win. Early Vamp Dagger and plenty of RTs and NMs delayed his damage and defense significantly, giving me an eventual win.

Game 3: Loss. Jen-i had the deck advantage here and I didn't have enough RNG to overcome it.

Game 4: Win. Despite being denied all of my permanents, I had enough early game quanta to stall out with squids while my Dragon dished out huge damage.

Game 5: Loss. Countered hard and Jen-i had nice draws too. This was a total blowout.

Game 6: Win. TBH Jen-i probably had the deck advantage. I was freaking out when I saw the darkness mark. But I had a very solid draw with an early frogtal, allowing me to edge out a win without having to risk playing a Dim shield.

Devtal with a good draw is OP, he managed to get out some damage out before my lockdown but a steal on Lobo followed by a Vamptall won it for me.

Game 2: WIN

1 pillar, 1 damsel draw, he got early Discord too. I eventually managed to get more damsels out and an OE before he could get a SoFo down, which won me the game.

Game 3: LOSS

Discake stomped his Pharaoh deck, but the 1 BH I had in the deck made this deck illegal.

1 tower draw which instantly got quaked, the next 2 I managed to draw and play got quaked too, but an early Fahrenheit and Deflag for his Pulvy managed to get his HP down so I could bolt down his HP.

Desiccation <3.

He had an mono darkness with SoP splash in this game, winning the toss meant I couldn't deck out, which gave me an unfair advantage since I couldn't deckout if I hadn't draw my Nymph early, anyway, played Desiccation on his Devourer+2 Minor Vamps and got out a Nymph out, got more nymphs out and SoPed them.

Forgot about this after not posting decks initially because of the uncertainty whether rules were going to change. Here they are:

Won against Graboid-EQ rush, should be a decent matchup for me as I don't care much about EQs and have lots of CC, but he also had a one Gemfinder draw.

This time he was on mono Fire, my Nymph unfortunately revealed that he already had 3 Bolts in hand which meant that dealing damage could get difficult. Eternity and Pharaoh both came too late to give me any Hope.

Won against Speedpoison, did not get a Discord the whole game but he made up for that by getting a one pillar draw. So I just spammed my creatures and destroyed his Arsenics with my Micro Aboms.

I got a nice rushy draw with this deck and he did not find a Fractal with his RoL Hope deck.

He had Air Nymphs in his deck but fortunately was quantastarved again. So I was able to get there by nuking his pillars initially and then chaining SoSas for the last couple turns.
