My draws were very strange here - in 5 games I drew 0 Wings and only 1 Stiletto, all of which are excellent in this match up despite the Explosions. I also never had the rushy Graboid + Wyrm out by turn 3 draws, but somehow managed to pull it together.
Game 1: Cointoss win. Weird draw for me, with 4 Graboids, 2 Nova, and no Damsel/Towers. Happily I had the GPull early, and drew a Damsel + Wyrm soon after. With 2 Graboids and a Wyrm down I was able to win the damage race - only a 7tw, though, very slow for this deck.
Game 2: Cointoss win. Another weird draw, with three Towers and a Damsel but no other Air cards for the rest of the game. I had a GPull and Nova which I used to kill an early Frog, and played a Graboid fairly early. Things were looking good until a mid game Nightmare, after which the lone Graboid I had for damage just didn't cut it... SoP or a Wyrm earlier and it would have been a very different game, ended up losing with 41 unused Air quanta.
Game 3: Cointoss lost. More weird draws - sense a pattern? No Damsels/Towers again, but this time I have three Nova and a Graboid/Wyrm. I get the Graboid down early but I never draw a second and the Wyrm takes a while for me to be able to play. Once again Nightmare comes up trumps for Spiel, giving him just enough health/damage to win thanks to the cointoss.
Game 4: Cointoss win. I drew a Permanent this game! I only draw a Wyrm in the final two turns and never get a Graboid at all, but a SoP, two or three Damsels and my Stiletto were enough to win it.
Game 5: Cointoss win. The good old double Tower, double Damsel start with no other Air cards. Turn 2 Disc from Spiel prevented me from playing a Graboid, but it scrambled up my Water quanta so I managed to play a SoP on the two Damsels, and was lucky enough to have topdecked a Wyrm the same turn too. A couple of buffs later and I've got a Shrieker, a 9/7 Wyrm and two 6/5 Damsels bearing down on quite a low damage draw from Spiel. Ended up winning fairly comfortably - no NM from Spiel, but even that couldn't have saved him.
