Whew - these were intense and close games.

g1 - see the fire mark we both get pretty good quanta. out comes the vagger... boom goes the vagger. hmmm...  I snipe a couple of his dragons, panda also doesn't give as much love as it could. Haxx shield is doing wonders, but he gets mitosis going with a quick burst and I didn't draw the control I needed...  Loss by a bit.

g2 - OK, at least I know what I'm up against now... patience is required. Hold off playing panda till he drops mitosis, dagger and dusk do great work. Anti-matter is awesome (although he decides to mito- the antimattered dragon = so cruel). comes down to the wire, but I get the win on damage.

g3 -  similar to g2 but I had a better draw and more control. good quanta build up, Vagger is doing great work. He falls within drain range and I siphon him out (comfortable win).

g4 - closest match - very tense! Start pretty strong with vagger eating away at his hp. Waited for mito before panda with great results. mid game, I'm doing OK, but panda g-pulls his antimattered dragon - ugh! he pops more out and I don't have CC. I have to anti-matter a poisoned dragon that will hit first (and then last enough turns) for vagger to eek out the right amount of damage. Where are you drains?  1 turn away from losing - he mito's another dragon and my HP ping pongs up and down as two antimattered dragons take turns hitting with 4 (or 5) normal dragons. Yikes, survived the turn: I have 14 HP and he has 4 HP - vagger for the win... and I finally draw the now un-needed drain.
Very close game - very lucky to scrape the win here.

Thanks so much for subbing mathman - always a pleasure to play vs. you.

Good luck to Life moving forward!

ggs trashduke, and best of luck to darkness in the coming rounds.


match summaries will come in the morning before work, or after work tomorrow. need sleep right now.

trashduke's summaries are bang on, nicely described. I also want to add that both game 2 and 4 were lost/won by 1 turn.

In G2 I had 2 of 3 dragons hit through the dusk leaving him with 4hp.
And in G4 my next turn I could have mito'd one more dragon for the kill(even with the ping pong of the AM'd dragons)
