Saw time mark and thought "this should be easy"... boy, was i wrong

Game 1 - Win
Lost toss. Had good quanta, spider, psion, and lightning in hand. got spider out early, then he EQ'd my 2 pills and kept RTing my spider. I drew another lightning and killed his lone grabby and ghost. Eternity popped out. Despite his lack of creatures early, it was still very close. Won by 1 turn.

Game 2 - Loss
Won toss. Only 2 quanta sources, never saw any for the rest of the game, plus 3 dead fractals in hand. He had another 4 RTs in the top half of his deck...god i hate those things. This one wasnt really close at all.

Game 3 - Loss
Lost cointoss. Good quanta, 2 psions, spider, and fractal. He drew a good amount of creatures and another 3-4 RTs in top half of deck. Ended up losing by a turn. Cointosss loss.

Game 4 - Win
Won toss. Great quanta, all 3 spiders in hand, drew fractal next turn. Got all 3 spiders out early, then eternity pops out. He RTs all my creatures, but he only drew 1 grabby i think. Pretty easy win.

Game 5 - WIN
Won toss. Great quanta again with 1 spider, 1 psion, and lightning. Topdecked another spider. Got him down to 60 HP when he plopped 2 grabbies down. Next turn he evolved both, then RT'd my 2 spiders. Ended up winning by 1 turn. Question is whether he should have kept both grabbies unevolved, and RT'd all 3 of my creatures, then evolve later. I may have still won, but it was only because i won cointoss.

Looking at the decks, I'm kind of surprised I won this one. I feel i needed to win cointoss plus have a near perfect hand in order to win most games. But ggs dragtom, it was a pleasure playing you, and good luck to team earth.

all those cheap creatures kind of bugged me.

most of the matches where kinda the same;
i can't remember what happened in which match...

1t match:
lost. only match i actually played eq. I somehow feel like all the marks are send my way.

2nd match:
won. lots'a rt, followed by an eternity. It allowed him to keep 1 recluse out, but that wasn't enough.

4th match:
lost. Got quite a few rt and an eternity early. But unfortunately, he managed to get a fractal out.
Despite me being able to make a dog mentally sick (by rewinding 3 creatures in 1 turn), I still lost to all the spider eggs to hatch.

3rd match.

won. don't remember how. all those matches where kinda the same.

5th match.

lost. could have made the dog another time mentally sick, but he'd still win with that. Thus, i made him less mentally sick, and evolved 2 grabby's, and lost that way.


i've made seism ashamed :/

P.S.:

you got your 3rd and 4th matches mixed up dragtom. You were up 2-1 after game 3.

Hm seems like team earth aren't lucky in matches, but my matches. Anyway nice playing dragtom and no worries everyone makes mistakes.

Also congrats deuce and good luck to you too.

Have you been sacrificing graboids to Our Lady RNG?  (I assume you have...)

And if you have... the only other thing to try would be running Her favorite creatures in a few decks.  It's amazing how much RNG smiles upon you when you run antlions...
