lol what can I say? xD Even as a War noob, I know how risky it is to play the same deck twice, and we gambled wrong this time around. Hard counter is hard, and props to Drunk for outmaneuvering RNG hate to deal a conclusive (and painful for me) win.
Drunk already figured out the exact deck makeup around game 3, but I'll post it here anyway for formality's sake.

Game 1: WIN
Early Discord, topdecked BH when I needed it, had three Discords out at one time...very late Sanc for him. Not much else to say, really. I wish I could say it was my skill that beat him despite the perfect counter, but that had nothing to do with it. RNG was REALLY fickle this game...I don't think I've seen Discords work for longer than it did this match.
Game 2: LOSS
2 Novas in starting hand, Discord on second turn. Think I made a mistake playing the Charger instead of waiting for a BH...he got the Sanc a turn after, at about 50 HP, then an EE the turn after. Not much to say after that...his Miracle sealed the deal. I managed to last a bit longer with my AMs but, hey. Snipers. CC for both sides of the field.
Game 3: LOSS
Slow start for me this time, no Discord till turn 3. It didn't work for me this time, left him with 5 light which of course meant a Sanc right after. After that it was a slow and painful loss.
(Forgot to screen, was in the middle of typing a message back to him when he dealt the final blow)
Game 4: LOSS
Great start for me this time -- got out three Discords (one of whom was shockwaved), and with the BHs I had in my starting hand I got him down to 20 HP...then I looked at his light meter and realized he had 13. Thankfully he didn't play a Miracle but instead a Sanc. I played a Charger a turn later, getting him down to 2 HP...and would you know it, NOW he got the Miracle. Then the EEs came out, and, well...not much else to say. He had discarded most of his damage, but dealt the finishing blow just as I would've decked out next turn.
Premature Screenie...
Good games Drunk. First loss of war, and it was as painful as I imagined. xD Sorry for the letdown team.
EDIT: Great deck by the way. Well-rounded and it was a genius counter to AM as well. Not that it means much, but I think upping the Sancs instead of the Pends could've helped? One less
quanta needed.
