Once I saw the Air mark, I was pretty sure I was going to see some Toadfish, and I knew that Wings/Spiders wouldn't work very well after the OE and Wings came out.

Thinking that OE/BW would give me a better chance, I got rid of the Wings and kept a pend for deckout. With only one OE, my chances of winning weren't great, but it was better than keeping the Wings.
Game 2: Didn't get an OE at all, so there wasn't really anything I could do besides hide behind BWs and try to get some damage through Wings.
Game 3: Got the OE and a BW in my opening hand, and there were no problems with fueling BW.
Game 4: The evil 6 HP nymphs prevented me from shooting creatures down fast enough to fuel BW, and once they started multiplying there was no way to win.

Great games, Psychoa.

Will send content soon.

Why not keep wings AND bonewalls?
Changing the mummies, the flesh spider and 2 recluses in wings would give you a much better winning chance with a fast Arsenic/OE.

If it weren't for Eagle's Eye, this would be an easy win for Death, since 5 Wings = 25 turns of complete shutout. But with it, you've only got ~15 turns at best. Still seems like the match should have gone the other way - I would have dropped the recluses/spider, leaving 32 cards, enough for deckout.

Bonewall blocks first creatures that come+EE for a while, wings take care for the rest of the match.
If we take it like that it would be a match of fast Arsenic damage(before wings)+dragon spam to kill in the end or a match of Owl's eye killing creatures to feed the bonewall while in the same time, damaging.
I think this deck had a way better win chance, of about 60-65%.

Grats for the flawless round !

not sure if you mean aether's luck has already run out or if aether will turn the tides against you. I'll just assume the latter  8)
