4 hours play for 5K electrum. Nice.
0-2 against kaempfer (Fire vs Fire)Two mirror games, both decided by starting hand. He had 5-6 ppms in both games, I had 2 in first, 3 in second.
Needless to say, it sealed everything.

Chose a funky NT/RT deck, Time Nymphs made it easy. Meanwhile I RT'd his Chargers.
2-0 against DANIEELA (Time vs Entropy)It was really funny to see her chosing Entropy. I was thinking about playing Fire again, that would have made it even funnier.
Played Ghostmare against a simple rushy Entropy deck. Didn't draw Nightmare early in the game, that was problematic.
Later I was able to hinder her deck with RTs, but it turned out that sadly she had a Dragon in hand for turns, so she was able to steal the win
in the last moment.
Had to figure out something interesting. Made an entrotime stall. AMs came quickly, that was helpful. Eternity/RTs also helped a lot not
just surviving, but never getting under 90hps. Didn't have to use Dissipation Shields. (TBH I also feared that a Steal might lurk there...)
For the final game made a Time version of the earlier NT/RT Time Nymph deck. The last moment was mine now, since I survived with
only 2 hps to deal the final blow with my Nymph army. (Ah, the beautiful symmetry of this deck!)
At this point I was really thinking that I should ask for a delay. I was already late, and playing a final made my situation worse.
Btw, can we do that? Ask for a delay if it is really urgent, and the tourney gets really long? It was the longest tourney this year.
Final against kaempfer (Death vs Water)Won the first one, but accidentally left in one more upgrade than intended. Ice Shield blocked my Arsenic entirely, Trident ruined
a lot of my pillars, but all of this didn't matter due to poison and early creatures.
Looking at kae's deck now this loss is even more painful. He had only 2 Squids and played one earlier than my Bloodsuckers...
That kinda decided the game, my poor Bloodsuckers spent most of the time frozen. He fractalled a Squid, played out another...
When I was able to poison the squid he just purified it. :/ Sadly I also made two mistakes, didn't check my frozen Bloodsuckers
to see when will they thaw (to play out more one turn earlier... he couldn't froze all of them at once).
Choosing Pandebonium wasn't an optimal thing in these circumstances, but I really had to go, and wasn't able to concentrate,
just wanted to play the game and go. A quick loss against a Water/Dark Domin.
Grats, kaempfer on winning the tourney.
