Sorta kicked my own butt on this tourney, plus rng 'helped'.
Not disrespecting my fellow players, just my feelings and thoughts.
2-0 vs ian
1-0
Thought it'll be fun not to start with a "standard strong deck" leaving better options for later use.
It worked out nicely. 4 SoSe is just not enough, though ian's deck was good.

Played an earth domin vs. ian's meme sor mito fate egg deck. Double purple nymph hatch would
have caused some trouble without BB/Warden.

Playing a Blue Nymph deck without CC/shield is stupid. I was doing the "rpg"-thinking: "ok, it'll be
useful later on..." Wings or Eagle Eye would have turned this game easily into a winning one.
Spiderwebs engulfed my poor flyers.

Mirror match, another deckbuilding mistake. Wanted to push for dmg so I added froggies instead
of Spine Carapace (added one for the first version, which was more like a life-air control deck
instead of this adrenastaves one). His T2 Spine decided everything.

0-2 vs. Jen
0-1
Played a water/air control deck, got only CC spells/creatures, and no Toadies (only 1 in last turn).
Meanwhile Jen got 4/4 grabbies in ~14 cards plus his only TU... Grabbies ducked, was able to
dmg them in the penultimate turn to add another to my suffering. Stupid me forgot to include
the previously spared Wings...
(or Ice Shield, whatever, but a shield to annoy grabbies!
sheesh, I spared those Wings for Jen's grabbies, I expected them!
)

Jen had a quick start with his Psion/RecluseTal deck. No fractal, but critters came into play
very quickly. Meanwhile my QPs deserted me, and my start was slower (had to wait for
light quanta to play bless on my scarab). Later I was able to munch 2 of his creatures
but it wasn't enough, he was able to grab the win with 2 hp left. Just to show QP-trolling:
in the end I had 15 air quanta, 8 dark, 9 earth and I had only 2 grav quanta for my
scarabs through the entire game (1 from a Nova).
