Game 1 - WIN
great quanta, 1 fractal, 1 hope. Drew RoL 3 or 4 turns later. Didn't get 2nd fractal until 13 cards left, which was perfect timing because dry spell came that turn. Refreshed the field and had sanc helping keep my HP stable, but if he had DS, I figured he had TS as well. Fractal continued to hide, but I whittled his HP down slowly. I was at about 50 HP, and he had 75 dark quanta so i was afraid of otk by DL for several turns. Finally drew 3rd fractal with 6 cards left, which was moot as i whittled his HP down to nothing.

Game 2 - WIN
great quanta again, 2 RoLs, hope. He had fast start, but my fractal hid for several turns or so. Got hope up around 25 HP. No TS or dry spell. Drew 2nd fractal with 15 cards left and filled my hand with RoLs. TS came next turn. Refreshed the field and played sanc. My HP is hovering around 25-30. Eventually drew 3rd fractal which sealed the win.

Game 3 - WIN
1 pill, 4 RoLs, 2 sancs...drew hope and played it a couple turns later with 3 RoLs out. Played both sancs, 1 got stolen. Drew fractal as his creatures started to pop out. kept 4-5 RoLs on field. TS and dry spell hid again. Drew 2nd fractal with 15 cards left, then drew 3rd fractal. Waited til 4 cards left to OTK with dragons.

ggs bogtro, you always seem to make me have a heart attack when we duel. GL to you and team .

G1: Lost toss, drew first mass CC card with a few cards left. Was ridiculously close, could have brought him down to 1 HP at one point but elected not to and then finally fell just short.
G2: Lost toss, never drew mass CC. Was close as I almost just ran him over early but he drew fractal just in time.
G3: Lost toss, drew dry spell early but didn't get first nova for about 10 cards, was somewhat closer but still not much. Didn't draw tstorm until 5 cards left.

Basically deuce just played enough RoLs to make damage insignificant and held the rest, then not much I could do especially without mass CC being drawn.

Bold deck choice with only 1 steal vs possible dims. Also inferior damage that would lose to a 9 up rush with a few lightnings.
And do i see a Lt deck with 3 ups ? How nice.

Edit: Nvm, deuce derped in the topic "Re: (Aether Gen) deuce22 3 - 0 bogtro (Darkness Lt)"

Some RoL/Hope deck expected, didn't think we would lose 0-3 here.
Good game, aether! Well played, bogtro and deuce.

pretty much said in team chat that darkness would be stupid not to expect RoL hope, but went for it anyways. Was rather nervous for this match for that reason. Match could have easily gone the other way, despite a 3-0 result.

This is annoying...
  played almost exactly the same deck against  expecting graboids -- lost against immortal
when  plays it against  they get the graboids...

why do I fail so much at mindgating ?

Now you know why did i chose deuce
The boss has his mindgating skillz maxed out.
Even when he fails he wins.

if only i had time to put my mindgating skills to better use...
