BWARP? First non-support War match win!

Game 1:
Full deck used (natürlich).
See aether mark. Regret not wearing brown pyjamas this evening.
Two pendulums each made for a slow start. When I eventually get my first FFQ out I decided to try for a race, with an adrenaline for the queen and two SoFr. Both SoFr are deflagged, and up comes the dim shield.
I get down Hope with a little HP left, and am left with the dilemma of whether to spam fireflies in case of dragons/seraphs, or hold back 8 to make more flies in case of Rain of Fire. I hold back, and eventually the seraphs come out.
Luckily I've got enough to get the shield over the 10 damage mark, and Odii's dim chain breaks before drawing anything to wipe me out. I finish with 2 HP.

Game 2:
-3x SoFr
Half remembered that I was facing a 31 card deck, but went down to 31 myself anyway. Odii's draw never got anywhere - saw 2-3 Seraphs which were all immediately shockwaved, and I quickly pushed through the needed damage.

Game 3:
-2x SoFr
Back up to 32 cards for the deckout chance. Start with 2x Shockwave, 1x SoFr, Hope and pendulums. Topdeck a FFQ just in time for it to come out, all the while being beaten down by Phoenixes.
I slowly get out Hope, blank the phoenixes and keep building. I get a chance to play SoFr to try and push through some damage, but it's deflagged. Dim shield chain eventually breaks, and WOOHOO! I finish with 4 HP.

Wow, all that panicking about a stray Bolt or RoF for nothing.

Helston could delay my damage with SW, so it never was enough damage to get his full hp. It was close.
Good games!

I do not understand why you dropped SoFree when facing dim-chain.
Wouldn't it help a lot bypassing the shield ?
Fire did not seem to have too many deflags to make them pointless.

It wasn't really a win condition.

he needed to draw FFQ asap to assure he would survive, after that he would eventually win with deckout or simply win after dim shield chain is over.

One bolt and things could've gone the other way o.0

Congratulations !

At the time I figured it'd be very unlikely I finish the game off with it in one attack. However, pushing through more damage could force an early dim chain, or maybe just delay a seraph because he's used on a deflag.

That's really smart actually, buying your Queens more time to get that Hope up. Well done  . 3-2 for you guys the dream?

hurray for Helston!
