My draws were progressively better with each passing game.

G1: Photon + Immo out T1. No phoenix though, so I waited. When I did get a phoenix I played it, soon after that he got an upped vamp dagger, which almost canceled out my phoenix. Then I got an MS, he got a dusk mantle. Every time I sped up, he slowed me down. Eventually I was beaten down by his devourers. I lost.

G2: Photon + Immo T1 (with no phoenix) again. However, I drew a phoenix T2, that was very helpful. I never played an MS, but thanks to my CC (and probably his draw), he never really got his devourers going. IIRC, he didn't get a dagger this time either. This time my phoenixes weren't all hiding on the bottom of my deck (they were middle to top this time). I managed to beat him before he got going. (Like rushes are supposed to do.) I win.

G3: Nice draw this time. Photon + Immo + Phoenix + Immo + Phoenix, T1. I knew this was over for him when I had that start. My phoenixes and immos showed up at really good times. Rushed. (Finally.) I win.

Round 1:
He didn't play so many Phoenixes, and I was wary of potential Deflags, but I threw down my Vampire Stiletto anyway. It kept me alive throughout the match alongside using Lightnings to strike down his Phoenixes, and it worked well. Add a Dusk Mantle and a Nightmare, and I held the match for a win. His Holy Lights were used on himself, but to no avail against my Devourers and weapon.

Round 2:
His hands got better at this point, throwing down multiple Phoenixes with Immolations on Photons, and I wasn't able to stop the damage. I managed to Fractal some Devourers to suck up his quanta, but he used Holy Lights on them and I wasn't able to suck him of the quanta I needed to play more Devourers.

Round 3:
I threw down my Dusk knowing that he had no Permanent Control, but with three Fractals in hand and no Vampires or my weapon in place, I was screwed. A lonely Devourer came out to try to save me, but at that point, he was already accumulating too much damage. His Chaos Seed added insult to injury by using the 'Drain Life' effect on it, giving him a near practical EM. I didn't draw Nightfall or Eclipse, and all I had was Lightnings and Fractals in hand most of the time.



...good games Salamence747. Your hands got better - mine got worse.

Hmmm... Light 4-1 now and their one loss is a suicide. I'm personally not looking forward to light getting stronger.

These immolation decks create problems for devourer decks.  But 5 fractals?  Probably needed 6 to ensure a win here.

The irony in this statement was that I had 2-3 Fractals in my starting hand each round. It was the Vampire Dagger/Vampires that I needed to draw for the health gain.

I won't give advice about Fractal to help you guys out, but 5 was completely intentional, and 6 would have likely have been a drag, especially with the added lightnings. (yes, I insisted upon having 5 Fractals = P) And Kuro can blame me if he had quanta but not the card fractal when he wanted it ;)

Yeah--1 less fractal, 1 more vampire could possibly have turned the tide. Waiting for a single creature to save you is high stakes poker.  But no use speculating at this point.

*EDIT:  just now seeing second vampire.*
