theelkspeaks 3-2 Submachine
I prepared 3 decks for this matchup, played all 3, and only one got me a win. A lot of RNG in this series, but well played Submachine. Sorry about those shield hax

Had a draw just a little low on
quanta, and Sub had a high quanta hand. Was able to bolt me to death before I posed any real threat.

The upgraded advantage largely won me this one, and I had a pretty solid draw.

This one was a lot worse draw than the first, but my Permafrost shield froze his nymphs on play, which shut his chances to win away.

Nope. Misplayed badly (played second and last psion in my hand early taking a gamble he was short on CC and losing the bet). Took too long to draw a 3rd and fractal it, and lost by a turn as a result.
Game 5: Toadfish NT vs. Trident NT

I had a 1 quanta draw, he had an all quanta draw. Brutal luck for both of us, as he struggled to find any cards to use his quanta on, while I struggled to play my cards, especially with Trident nomming my pillars. Eventually stole a win thanks to freeze hacks from my shield, and drawing all 4 of my freezes early to stop the "bacteria rush"
Whew! Barely survival!
