Even before the match I felt comfortable, because of my oracle card: Guardian Angel
Today will be illuminating -- even enlightening.
A force beyond human ken watches over you. No lasting harm can come to you.
And he was right.

Also, I don't know if it was bad draws on his side, but he seemed really low on pendulums, I found out he had gasses near the end of game 3.
Basically, it was a pure counter, and I'm almost feeling sorry for you but well: all is fair in love and war. All games went nearly the same: I got lots of quanta, played everything I could, plastiqe tried to slow me down, while keeping an eye on his damage, but it was just too much, especially with deflags on my side, which I drew quite a lot, I always had one when it was convenient (to deflag the fahrenheit or fog shield, didn't bother with the gasses). Also, I got some more than average draws, always getting the cards I needed (took a while in the first game, first cards were 6 pendulums and 3 pillars, but even that worked out).
First game:
I didn't know what to expect, especially when I saw a mark of fire, I got afraid is was one of these huge dragons/deflag decks, and I wasn't worried about the deflags, but the dragons got me worried (I had abandoned all CC, for more speed). But, it wasn't. Even after the first game I was confused because I only saw a few fire bolts, pillars and pendulums and a fahrenheit.
Second game:
As said, I started with lots of pillars and pendulums, but after a few turns I managed to draw some creatures, which I could play directly. I was just explaining what I thought plastiqe's deck was to Acsabi, when my steamie (I think it was 16|15 by then) got bolted with two bolts. But well, it had already done his damage, and I just waited for more creatures to play them in suicide mode and slowly kill him, and I ended with 2 phoenixes on my side and 14 hp's for him.
Forgot to take screeny though.
Third game:
This game plastiqe managed to draw some more pendulums, and quite some bolts too, meaning I just sat there with a longsword killing him solo, with all my creatures getting killed. It was halfway this game that I found out that he actually had gasses (They seemed logical in his type of deck, but I never saw them). But in the end my longsword dealt like 60 damage, with a few creatures and a last steamie doing the rest. (I didn't bother to blow the gasses, because he couldn't kill me, and I was worried about another fog showing up, which would have given him a lot of time, considering I sat there with a lone sword).
It was nice to battle with you, though I wouldn't call it good games, they were pretty one sided, you played your deck as best as you could, but it simply wasn't enough.
