Thanks for the match, ARTH. It was not full of fireworks, but c'est la vie without any
in the matchup. :-)

Unlike last round, I did manage to expect or prepare for ARTH's type of game 1 deck. Good early SoV draw meant it didn't last long enough for ARTH to build up fire for Bolt-shots.

Repeat deck, on purpose. ARTH also repeated deck. Later SoV but still fair draw meant quick enough pull-down from SoV to not fear Bolt-to-death.

Well, I pressed the advantage (as had been the pre-match plan) with more SoV... just had to drop
in favor of
duo. It worked well and ARTH had no answer in his game 3 deck. Late-ish SoV meant a bit slow but it worked again.
