Both games against Firestall.
Game 1 he had a slow quanta start (2 pillars) and an early fahren, and the queens couldn't be stopped. He cleared my board once with Double bolt + RoF, but couldn't do it a second time. Win.
Game 2 I don't remember very clearly, but I ended up conceding after he cleared my board and miracled. There was no way I could've killed him with my remaining cards, especially not with the other miracle in his deck.
Game 3:
Oops I ran an illegal deck

I thought "this would be a good time for an Unstable Gas deck!" while completely forgetting the rule about element combinations. I lost anyway to a reflective shield (only two turns before a kill), so it doesn't effect the result of the match.
Game 4:

Anybody remember Devil's Gate? This deck doesn't, I never got to use it. I created the idea to counter the Firestall I expected out of www3, but got only RTs...Anyways, since I'm facing just Firestall, why not give it a shot, since it never got it's spotlight when it was meant to?
My opening hand was perfect with plenty of quanta, nova and a reflective. The only thing to kill me then was an early fahren like I saw in game 1, but it was not to come. Time to sit back, draw the combo, and hope he doesn't get over 4 SoDs, the point where it takes Chaos Power RNG to kill him (not necessary with 6 dragons, but this isn't a deck spotlight). He did get up to three, but I wouldn't be worried until I saw the 4th. Luckily, I never did, and the OTK went off without a hitch. Win
Game 5: Honestly I took probably too long to prepare, overthinking the hell out of everything. He ended up bringing a Light+Entropy using Photons and Mutants, why didn't I think of that?
Oh Well

I speedbuilt because I was starting to feel bad about the time I was taking. Evidently, I did so poorly. The deck was short on quanta, and I just kind of died to his 7/8 Chaos Powered Skeleton with DIVE.
*Sigh* Yes, he got a high powered mutant with dive on turn two or three. That was when I knew I had lost, but just kind of went with it. The last turn, he got another mutant: an 11:3 Ice Dragon with Hatch. That's right, his only two mutants got the two single best abilities possible xD
Good games, dragons!
RdBO, it's time to break the 2-3 curse in Round 2!
