Game 1: Decided to try and bait andre into nomming his own SoFo in order to kill off my Elite Cockatrice. While this ended up giving me more quanta this game, it still didn't help much with my hand getting flooded with Fractals, Silences and no Frogs. I decided to start chaining Silences near the end to try and deck him out since I hadn't seen Overdrive and I wasn't going to have enough quanta to pull off a Silence + Fractal + Fractal next turn combo, which I needed in order to get through his Otys. I tried to burst at the end but it wasn't enough. 0-1
Game 2: Modded deck to allow for more speed and increased chances of drawing Frogs, Fractals, etc. Same Elite Cockatrice tactic from last game. Really the only hand that I considered above average during all three games with one "small" problem: 0 Fractals. I ended up having to start chaining Silences after spamming the field with creatures in the hopes that I would draw a Fractal at some point in between. Never did. Not a single one in 19 cards when this ended up being the only game where things seemed to be in my favor. 0-2
Game 3: Drew several Fractals and Silences but no Frogs until the end. But that wasn't the biggest issue. andre decided to change tactics this game by playing a SoFo over an Oty on turn 1, which allowed for him to use it to get rid of my Pends for the rest of the game. In retrospect it was a bad idea for me to play my Cockatrice like that when my quanta start was so subpar. With him having a good supply of SoFos and Otys, there wasn't much for me to do but hope for some kind of a miracle Fractal burst which just wasn't realistic in my situation. 0-3
