When building my decks, I just imagined mrpaper having Dim Shields again. Lucky for me, he didn't have any.
Game 1:[T] (vs PurpleDragon/FallenElf/DissipationShield/Mutation) WIN
I was afraid he might have Antimatters, so I played my evolved my Graboids when I knew he wouldn't have enough quanta. I got a second turn Earthquake which completely shutdown his quanta production. He put down a Purple Dragon, which I Reverse Timed. Later in the game he played a Fallen Elf, so I knew he didn't have Antimatter and I evolved all my Graboids and finished him off a few turns later.

Game 2:[T] (vs Graboid/Eternity/Procrastination/Protect Artifact) LOSS
Had I gone first, I would have won this game easy. As it was, he was always one step ahead of me, since Earthquakes lose their effectiveness the longer the opponent's quanta sources have been out there. He got a late Procrastination that slowed me down just enough for him to win by one turn.

Game 3:[T] (Trident/Freeze/IceBolt) WIN
I was beginning to wonder if I ever was going to win a coin flip. I could have Earthquaked him and completely shut down his
quanta production so he couldn't Tsunami me effectively. But of course I went second. Once he got up to 10
quanta, I kept my Graboids unevolved and burrowed my Shriekers so he couldn't Ice Bolt them to death. I'm not sure if he ever got any other damage out, so I waited till I could kill him with my Shriekers, evolved/unburrowed and won.

Game 4:[T] (vs Graboid/Eternity/Procrastination/Protect Artifact) LOSS
Again, I went second. This allowed him to drop down all his Pendulums, which he promptly Protected before I could EQ them. I did get off to a fairly quick start, but he got an early shield, which effectively cut my damage in half. He also got an Eternity down a few turns later so my damage was cut back a bit. He ended up winning by one turn.

Game 5:[T] (vs Graboid/Eternity/Procrastination/Protect Artifact/ReverseTime) WIN
I figured I'd lose the coin flip again, so I opted not to use my EQs and go mono-darkness. I threw in enough Drain Lives to kill his Shriekers and, of course, Dusk Mantle to slow down his damage. He got 2 early Graboids and an Eternity. I got an early Dusk Mantle, and then saved up my quanta so I'd have enough to kill them when he evolved. He did both, and they both died the next turn. Since he had an Eternity out I saved up my quanta and put out several creatures at once. He could only Rewind them one at a time. With my shield blocking most of his damage, my Gargoyles and Dragon wore him down for the victory.
