1st game was ok, second game no air quanta until 14 cards left (I died next turn).  3rd game is how a deck is supposed to work (godly draws)

The one game I won, he had a slow start and I drew the Dragon, Abom, Lava Destroyer (win more card), Fire Shield, and Rain of Fire and almost still lost as his Bone Wall nearly kept me at bay long enough to steal the victory.  I might have been able to sneak in a win if I had topdecked a Skull Shield in the last game.

Never saw the Skull Shield, Seraph, Vulture, or Steam Machine.  I did not use BE because of Fallen Elves and because it would have been too late by the time it could be used.

Some seriously close games. I got lucky in game 1 with a good hatch and a super-awesome-did-that-really-happen pandemonium. I nuked a lot of his creatures and PU'd my own Dragon ftw!

Game 2 was over in a flash. My BE fodder did their best, but couldn't withstand the onslaught.

Game 3 I got lucky again with an early Diamond Shield. He still almost killed me but had some quanta troubles. Thanks itr for playing!

I added the Lycan and BE in the second game after getting hosed by Eternity.  He saw Eternity in game 2, and I did not see BE or any quanta.

I am finding it rather annoying that cards that were deemed so powerful as to be ultra-rares for us are in these NPC decks in multiples.

First game, I had the RoF, Fire Shield, and a Vulture.  He had an early start, and then I got one huge, angry bird.

Second game, I had the skull shield in hand but never saw a death quanta until the game was already decided.  I died to an entire field of mostly skellies (6 per turn).

Third game, itr had a terrible draw with no Cats (I imagine that does not get said often).  I had a good quanta start, and got out a bunch of critters.  He mutated some of them, but one ended up as a 9/something Abom with Steal.  By the time he got a Cat, the game was decided in my favor.

To summarize, I won the first game by starting with two of the three cards that really hurt his deck and the third game because he did not draw any of the cards he needed to make the deck run.  I needed that much good fortune to come out on top, but I will not look a gift horse in the mouth.

On the second game I came close (would have needed to survive 1 more turn), the other two I lost badly.

Hmmm, I thought the 3 chances in the rules meant, 3 games, but I see others have posted multiple matches of best-of-3.
Does that mean I can try to play against a different NPC ?

So the losing continues:

First game, skeleton turned into grey nymph, so I got overrun by malignant cells, my fire shield never showed up.
Second, skeleton -> pharao -> scarab rush killed me, my anubis did not get a chance to quint itself.

These random cards do not really allow much of a strategy, just hope for blind luck...

Nope, I was wrong, not even luck could help me!
This time I got firewall and Fahrenheiht in starting hand both times and I still get drowned by the mighty army of the see creatures.
