Game 1: Fire mark!  I pray that he doesn't have CC; I make a mistake by putting out a second squid when he has two gasses out; they explode, the squids die, and it's gg 0-1.

Games 2-4: Nymph gets out. Then squid gets out. 1 Gas appears, nymph gets frozen. Patience/vagger come at one point or another, get blown up and replaced. Afda tries to sneak in pesky bursts, but it isn't enough.

Good games, and good luck in the next rounds of war!

Good games. Congratulations, Darkness.

Game 1:
He plays all his the squid in his hand without a SoP. I have two gas out, pop them both to kill the squid, and go on to a comfortable win.

Game 2:
I play an early nymph, get a gas out. Aves has a water tower to start and a squid in hand, so responds to my damage quickly. I don't draw enough nymphs to threaten him at all this game.

Game 3:
I play an early nymph, get a gas out. Aves has a water tower to start, and a squid in hand. I burst nymphs to get more 2 gas out, and bring his health down to 70. In the end I topdecked the 4th nymph one turn too late, and was 4 health away from winning.

Game 4:
I play an early nymph, get a gas out. Aves has a water tower to start, and a squid in hand. Sound familiar? I burst with nymphs again, and look to be in a very strong position, but Aves plays his second squid just in time. Another narrow loss.

Fifteen Air upgrades - was it relic usage?  (Or am I rob77dERp and missing something else...)

[Afdarenty]

Yep, it was relics.

This match is the perfect example of why the round 8 EC is not...fair.

  has to play a match vs ; let's pretend we win (hard, btw). I'd target Blue nymph. But since  , after this game will discard all 13 non pillars/mark cards of this deck, including 6 blue nymphs, we will change target in case of victory.

  is receving a damage by the EC just because they lost a game before us and other teams.

Now I stop complaining, but I still firmly believe some mechanics should be thinked more...deeply.

EDIT: Nvm, Physsion is telling me the targeted cards will be sent after all matches.
