Thanks for the matches Jip and Jay. Really sick matches there, got me really tense. This was exactly the deck I feared and decking you out didn't even cross my mind till I noticed 2 wings in hand and 15 cards left in match 4.

  Match 1: Jipp vs Japp
Early Arsenic for Jip, 4 Toads in starting hand for me. I only got 1 pillar and quite a few poison counters on me early in the game. I decided to start my wings chain and see how far I got. I didn;t get far though, we desynched but Jippy won on both ends.

  Match 2: Jay vs Japp
Early Arsenic again. I was kinda depressed by now and didn't see any chance of winning this matchup really. I actually chewed off quite a bit of his HP but never managed to get past the Bonewall + Lightning combo.

  Match 3: Jay vs Japp
I think I stalled with fog a bit and got quite a bit of damage out early in the match. Jay didn't get any Lightnings and took quite a bit of damage till he finally started playing shields at ~50 HP. He only got 1 poison counter on me wich wasn't enough to kill me behind my Wings shield. I saved up my 3 Icebolts and decided to nuke him. Totally forgetting about the quanta cap (wich is quite ridiculous btw) got me scared for a bit but as you can see in the screeny, shockwave took care of that last bit of HP.

  Match 4 Jipp vs Japp
Pretty straightforward. I killed his Spiders with Inflate, EE and Shockwaves. He killed my Toads and Dragon with Lightnigns. I started chaining Wings at 14 cards left for him and decked him out.

  Match 5 Jipp vs Japp
Same as match 4 except that both our draws were much worse. I stalled his 2 Recluses with my Fog for quite a few rounds after wich I decided to waste an Icebolt and Shockwave to kill them. Took me a long time to find my first wings and decided to wait till 10 cards left (was afraid he was just amassing Spiders and one-shot me). He never got out an Arsenic and asked me if I had my next Wings ready in my hand. I really wanted to lie and say yes but the truth was I topdecked my 2nd Wings shield just when I needed it.

Thanks for the matches, RNG helped me quite a bit in that last match especially. Bolt-killing and decking you guys out wasn't part of my plan but pretty much the only way to win...

Looks like an awesome come back you made here Jappert gratz on the win even if the RNG was with you that's the game.

I said this in chat, I'll say it again here.  I'm glad it was you who beat me like this.  Playing against you japp was very fun for me as it always is and I hope that we eventually play on the same side one day.  You are truly one great player.  With that being said, not drawing arsenics sucked.

W00t!
Congratz, Japp! Looks like a tough matchup.
Playing for the deckout was a brilliant move.

Go  !
