Was up against Fire/Earth rush.
Game 1 I had a perfect draw with Vampire Dagger, Fog, backup Fog and just the right amount of CC.
Game 2 my draw was not so great with too few of my good permanents but troll Shockwaves saved the day.
Game 3 my draw was slow and Blacksmith had too many Steel Golems for me to handle.
Game 4 I had a good quanta draw but no permanents either. However I quickly got to the point where 1 DL killed a Steel Golem immediately and I decked him.

Good games Blacksmith.

Game 1
We desynced but 10 men had a great start with vampire dagger backed up by shields. In the end I beat his ai but that was only cause ai was bad 1-0 to him.

Game 2
I made maybe 3 miss plays this game. First was to play longs sword early and let him steal it. I thought he packed many daggers but he didn't would have been better to keep it in hand. Second miss play was mid game when I played rage pot on a golem when I thought he didn't have any cc left, I should have known he had. Last miss play was just stupid, he had 11 hp left I had 1 golem and 1 deflag in hand. Nothing could have prevented me from winning in 2 turns. Instead of waiting I rush and use rage pot on my golem to win this turn, the only problem is that he played shockwave on it the turn before even if it wouldn't have mattered in anyway he played it. So 2-0

Game 3
Good start and soon I had 3 earth golems running around. Not much he could do.

Game 4
Got 3 golems out of 8 in top 20 cards. Well another loss.

I see this as a 50-50 matchup and since I didn't play perfect a win from 10 men is fair. Well played 10 men and see you in war.

Well I had to play it since otherwise that Rage Pot would have been lethal. (I was strongly suspecting you had one based on your prior plays). Without a damage topdeck by you I could at least expect to live one more turn to maybe draw a Drain Life which would have turned the game around.

You mean too few sw

They were coming from my draws, not from a Fractal so I definitely had too many.
