Was afraid of Devs, not sure in what form, but figured this would do it :p

RoL Hope

Game 1: Win
How much does even fit in one hand? Lost toss, had RoL, 3 pends, Fractal and Hope in starting hand. Not sure about rest but also got an early nymph and 3 RTs in top half of deck or something. Couldn't draw Dragon and Vang killed the Nymph before I drew a third Fractal, but RoLs were enough.
Spoiler for screenshot:

Game 2: Win
Another lost toss, topdecked 4th pend as 8th card this time, rest pretty similar to game 1, including starting hand. I did get both Dragon and Nymph in hand early, but both got killed before I could Fractal them, yet given enough RoLs: no duck would stop me ^^
Spoiler for screenshot:

Game 3: Win
Won toss, had only 1 pend in starting hand, worried. Vang kills a bunch of RoLs, more worried. All RoLs in first 13 cards and 2 Hope, Light Nymph and Dragon in starting hand: worries gone. It was close since I was exposed to some damage for the entire duration, but playing all those creatures left Vang with no quanta to kill the Nymph, which was the ultimate troll in this matchup. Duck wasn't fast enough to make a difference, either: didn't even get Fractal or quanta to Fractal a second time, either.
Spoiler for screenshot:

ggs. Dat Light Nymph. So troll, never thought I'd use mine in a way so useful xD

You guys do know you're team TIME, right? :p  I was looking at the deck and thinking, wow, a trio in war... then I looked at where the time quanta was being used.  Ah, well, I won't criticize it; it seems to have worked fine, and it's perfectly legit.  It just doesn't feel like a time deck :p

The time quanta was crucial in confusing the devourers

FractRoLl strikes again!

Just wondering, did darkness accidentally use one fewer upp than they could have? Doesn't look like it'd have made much of a difference though.

No, Vangelios is actually Lt. this round. The thread title should probably be changed to match this.
