Really unfortunate matchup for team Earth. We decided I should take a counter to their SS/Miracle/Sanc stall and their Grabbow, but this also ended up hard countering their Wings/SS stall.
Game 1: lost toss. Notice Air mark, figure it's going to be a wings stall. Should be easy for us.
Played a pillar and 2 pends while leaving a pend in my hand, to bait out an earthquake which I was expecting.
Wings comes out on turn 3 and it looks like it's game over for Earth.
I'm expecting BBs and SWs too, so I hold my dragons until I can play one and PU it in the same turn. An earthquake hits my pends, so I play 2 more. Turn 7, I play a dragon and PU it.
Sundial comes out, I PU another dragon. Pends get EQd again, I play 2 more.
He plays a Stone Skin, and I hit him down to 21.
Another dial comes out, SS gets played next turn and I hit him down to 9hp. I have 2 lightnings in hand but not enough aether to play them both.
Another dial. We desync, but I win my game, and my AI beats him too.
Game 2a: lost toss, early desync so we rematch.
Game 2b: lost toss again, another early desync so we rematch again.
Game 2c. won toss, excellent hand for me. Keep playing pillars/pends in a split, but I'm a little bit more confident with the number of EQs he has in his deck so I play 2 at a time.
I get a dragon out and PU it with nothing on his side of the board yet. 2 pends get EQd, play another 2.
I keep swinging with my 2 dragons down to 52, then 28, before a sundial comes out.
4 sundials chained, by which point I have the quanta to play the 2 additional dragons and 2 PUs I have in my hand. He stone skins when he has to break the chain, but I burst him with 6 dragons for 72 damage. Good game.
Game 3: early desync, but we decide to play it out - time zone difference means Blacksmith needs to get to bed.
Game goes pretty similarly to the first one, but he plays an OE which starts giving my dragons trouble as I'm waiting for the sundial chain to break. I manage to get enough damage through with PUs and extra dragons, and power through his Stone Skins before the OE can kill my dragons.
Good games, Blacksmith, I really enjoyed them. Was really nothing you could have done, unfortunately, but I hope you enjoyed playing nonetheless.
Glad to pull in a nice salvage as Grenadier for
