bjessee 1 - Absol (Rustler) 2
What a fun match until that last game. Absol was a wonderful opponent that made even losing fun. But nothing would make the game three thumping a very pleasant affair.
I used the same decks against the NPC that I used against Vine and dd, swapping out the BE for more Fire Shields.
The first game I got an edge with an early RoF followed by a FS which let me get out to an early lead. He almost got back in with an NT army, but it was a tad too late.
The second game was another nailbiter. I pulled a FS too late, but topdecked it when it became crucial. I think he topdecked an NT and the adrenanymph was enough to win by a few. I was one turn short of the victory.
In the third match, he won the cointoss and had two emerald dragons on the board before my third turn. I got a fire shield out, but had to topdeck the RoF to stand a chance. No dice. With 0 hard CC for single targets, I just had no answer for the rustler's quick turnaround. One dragon I could handle. Two was crushing.
