This was...wow. I owe a very large amount of my success to RNG here.

I made the mistake of dropping all my pillars and not staggering them, so my quanta production was limited for most of the match. He got a few hits in with discord before I put my shield up. From there my pillars got depleted, but I dropped my dragon as soon as I drew it. My last fifth shield came out with no pillars, but I drew a crucial pillar which was never destroyed. With two cards left I unleashed all the bolts I had and the dragon finished him off.

Again, notice the four stacks. I made the mistake of swapping out my bonewalls for dimensional shields at the last second, and he used the deck I dreaded seeing more than any other. His connection borked between the match, and we desynched three times. I realized that my deck had an incredibly low chance to win, and I forfeited the match to move on with the rubber match.

This match was very strange. I figured his deck would crush me, but he only had one pillar in his starting hand. I dropped a squid and two poisons on turn two, and he had 8 poison counters by turn 5. It became of cycle of getting him down to a critical HP and then watching his HP go back up above the 40s due to stone skin. I stocked up 5 icebolts, and I threw them at him the turn he didn't draw the stone skin he needed.
EDIT: Fixed deck mark.
Great match Oni. Like I said in chat, when this is all done we can swim around coral reefs and sing Kumbayah. After the Swamp takes over everything of course
