Game the 1st:
Nova x2 in opening hand leads to quick Forest Spirit (turn 1) and Graboids (turn 2 and 3-ish?  maybe 4th turn) along with Mummy and Recluses from the Bone Pillar x2.  Held Explosion in-hand for quite a while just waiting for the Vamp Dagger OP to fall in order to destroy it.  That never came and I won by more than a turn (50 HP).

Game the 2nd:
Zero Nova in starting hand and get much less damage down than bogtro in the early-going.  This leads to a loss.

Game the 3rd:
UNBELIEVABLY good draw for bogtro, but believe it because it happened.  Six-turn loss (maybe 5?) if I recall correctly.

*** Bogrto's summary probably has more to say for games 2 & 3. ***

Game the 4th:
Nova x4 (!!!) in opening hand leads to immediate Fog Shield.  Later come Recluses, Mummy, and Lycan to provide win by half-turn (29 HP against bogtro's 30 damage - but Fog too!).  Fog Shield blocked what seemed like 8.5 million damage this game.  Not sure it was much above 40% overall but due to the EARLY casting (before bogtro had a turn? cannot remember coin toss this game) it was the MVP of the game, and it turns out the MATCH.

Game the 5th:
Nova x2 in opening hand (noticing a theme to the win hands against the loss hands? leads to quick damage (quickly got down Recluse and Graboids with a Forest Spirit coming late-game) which beatdown bogtro quite quickly (6 turns...?) with HP to spare (@ 42HP against 24 damage).


Also of note, Discord came out early a few times but the "bow" aspect made the scramble mostly ineffective and the damage was absorbable.  Additionally, bogtro had a super-high quanta draw (fail levels of high) in there somewhere but I do not recall when nor if it was a win or loss game for me.

In any case, well-played bogtro and I hate to have to defeat a fellow bottom standings team to get my first War match victory, but alas I had to take the win when available!


(Note: delay in posting summary is due to the forum server maintenance that was much longer than "a couple of minutes" per UTA)

G1: Didn't expect Grabbow at all. Outrushed fairly easily.
G2: He drew no novas, I had an amazing draw and walked all over him.
G3: Another 0 nova start for him, I had a so-so draw but it was enough to win.
G4: He had 1st turn Fog which basically won the match. I drew all my quanta and kept topdecking it over and over again. Finally got some damage out, but his graboids finally showed up and pummeled me down.
G5: Drew 3 lycans. Nothing else. Easily outrushed.

Oh steal, why didn't you just magically appear from nowhere?

Good job Bog, it was FogNG that made the loss, not you
