When i saw the aether mark, it was just a question of dims or zaps. But our deck was protected from both. I started earlier dimming when he used arse, anticipating silence too. With my huge stock on dims, i just played them one round earlier to defeat silences.

Event card - Nope

Game 1 - Off the Aether mark I thought it would be AntlionTal. I had the Psion in had but learned from Rob that I probably shouldn't play it. Turn 2 arse forced an early dim from him, which blocked everything. Then nothing happened for a long time. Suddenly he plays a Shreiker and PUs it. I throw up a Dim, he retaliates with a Quint and a SoW. Wot? I broke his Dims with Silence and threw everything at him but couldn't pull off enough damage. His Dims start up again and it's over.

Game 2 - Knowing what his deck was, I just tried to go all out with damage, but he still had Dims everywhere. As soon as he gets enough enough quanta he plays a Shrieker, Quint and 2 SoW, meaning I'm dead in 5 more turns. I tried to Fractal the Psion but couldn't do it soon enough.

Game 3 - 1 Pillar start with all 3 Fractals in hand. I got a couple early Spiders and the Psion out once the quanta picked up, but by that point he had 2 Shrieker out, one with SoW. Dims took up all my Aether quanta so I could never play the Fractals or the Silence, not that the latter would have made a difference. Lost with all 3 Fractals still in my hand.

GGs Avenger, well played on your part. The curse continues...
