Fractal gave me enough chargers to deal with his large amount of CC.  Close win here.

I didn't get enough water quanta to give me a real chance, and the early trident killed me.

Both us were cursing RNG throughout this game.  Possibly misplayed by using my first NT on a earth pend to try to fend off creatures - turned out he didn't have any.  He was lacking a vamp stiletto, but four of my 6 NT were in the last 6 cards of my deck.  Decked out with my last nymph in play and and 9HP for Afdar.

Early lightnings and titan won me this game, which was pretty close.  Topdecked a 3rd lightning on the exact turn I needed to to kill his 3rd nymph and hold out for the win.  Glad I modded in two extra lightnings between games.

Then we both had to leave for other commitments, so there was a 3.5 hour delay

He got the squidvantage early, and played his second squid when I didn't have the quanta to freeze it.  My draw was a little unlucky but not too bad.  Tried a desperate GP tactic but couldn't survive long enough, and my octo got frozen.

GGs Afdarenty! 2-3, and you get payback for our final day BL match!

mrpaper and Afdarenty as opponents, such RNG.

vs Trident Tears
Odd RNG here. I had the CC to deal with elks early nymphs but no dagger (by far the most important card in this match up) for ~25 cards which left trident free to smack me around. RNG decided not to give elk his other 4 tears until the last 8 or so cards, though, so with some good fog luck I pulled through.

vs Chargertal
Very close game. 3 nymphs as my only creatures in 18 odd cards (immediately bolted) left me without any real damage, but my early OE sniped a lot of his creatures. In the end his early titan was enough to win it for him.

vs Frozen Pults
I had more water quanta and more squids, which meant I could build up a strong board. No dagger for 20 cards (again) but all the nightmares gave me the health I needed and stopped elk from drawing too.

I really love that Air/Dark stall.

Wasn't sure if he's switch decks or not, but I knew this deck was good against almost anything he had as long as I didn't get a bad draw.  Fractalled twice and over ran the defenses.  Also I learned sanctuary stops shard of bravery.

Was a little concerned EQs would show up in this matchup and they did, with a wicked EQ Otyugh combo in game 3.  Had I not gotten the perfect draw, I am certain I was hard countered.  But I drew 5 phoenixes and the creamation, and he just couldn't eat them fast enough.

we desynched once midway in game and then kuro entered a game I didn't.. we both won the game and kuro also won playing alone so it was a bitter loss when I won at the 3rd try of that game.  Nevertheless, I feel this matchup was in my favor with EE and shockwave to kill shriekers.

1 pend start is not good. Em. Shield made it out in time for air nymphs UGs to be partially useless. Flies+nymphs > SoGs+Em Shield.  On the last turn I took a gamble and bolted a nymph and then used SoB, but I should have SoB first as a RoF was drawn and could have killed the flies to save me from death.



Good games Odii, best of luck in the coming rounds and thanks for the match!
