dragonsdemesne - 2 (211) vs inthisroom - 3 (the relics)
Game 1 WIN
ITR played a nymph's tears/rage pot deck. I bolted every nymph that came down, and I had no problems with this game. As it turned out, I gained a very false sense of confidence from this one.
Game 2: LOSS
ITR played discophoenix. He whipped my ass as hard in game 2 as I did his in game 1. I had no hope in this matchup.
Game 3: WIN
After two stalls, I figured ITR would expect me to keep going with them, so I switched to immoseraph. ITR played an immophoenix deck :p This one basically came down to cointoss; I went first and won by one turn. If ITR had started with a nova, he'd probably have won, but he didn't have it.
Game 4: LOSS
It's truly sad when you completely predict your opponent and you still get screwed in the butt by RNG. I figured he'd keep playing phoenixes since he had just had success with them, and he ran exactly the deck I hoped he would. Two fire shields got blown away by two deflags, and his phoenixes rolled right over me.
Game 5: LOSS
I took the first deck I used (which I named in titanpad "Burn and freeze them ALL", yes, original I know!) and modded it for phoenixes, which I was predicting once more. Instead, he plays essentially the deck I used in game 1. My prediction wasn't very good, but I still had a decent chance if I could get my bolts, particularly the ice bolts to freeze his fahren, but I got one ice bolt and one fire bolt in the top half of my deck, and spent the fire bolt on a steam machine; the ice bolt froze his fahrenheit, which wasn't hard, given that I had like 60 water quanta. All I could draw was quanta and squid :p It wasn't the best matchup, but I would have had at least a fighting chance with better RNG, though without knowing his deck, I suspect it would be something like 40/60 for him.
GGs, and it was fun to play you. I only wish I could have done just a little better... that's both rounds I went out in the 5th game, now
Having to play around the possibility of discord, bolts, and immorush made it very hard to build a deck that could be consistent across the board, and we ended up having a lot of RPS games. Games 1 and 2 were no contest; game 3 was basically a mirror decided by coinflip. Game 4 I still think I got cheated :p Game 5 ITR definitely had the advantage in the matchup, but it wasn't a sure thing.
edit: because in game 3 I used 4 freezes, not 4 sancs. (the 4 sanc version was one I had in titanpad but modded because I thought he'd use phoenixes, so I used freeze)
edit: because in game 3 i used pillars, not pends. (this is what happens when you edit decks on the fly in events :p)
