To give some context, it didn't even cross my mind he would bring a stall. I assumed his deck was a mixed strategy deck, not a pure stall. I got a rushy start, so I dumped everything on the field as soon as I could. I was waiting for him to run out of CC. However, after he killed 4 Eggs and 1 Anubis, I finally recognized what deck I'm facing.
Now I knew it was a stall, but I only had 1 Egg, 2 Anubises and an Eternity remaining. He had around 90 health left with 2 Purify counters. My total possible damage was 14 + whatever the last Egg hatches into. He had the potential to heal 12 per turn with lucky Purify draws. A few turns passed, I played a protected Anubis, then we disconnected.
After a game disconnects, data is no longer synchronized between the players. Random data in one game will be different from random data in the other. On my end, I got duplicated Firefly Queens (SoR+Egg), one of which was instantly readied and protected. That was my only way to win by damage before decking out while also generating creatures that I can endlessly rewind if necessary.
I started explaining to dragons how I got a very lucky creature to allow me the win. At first, he assumed it was a Phase Dragon. On his side, my AI got a Deathstalker from the last Egg. Since we both won against the AI, we replayed. Anubises were bottom-decked, so I had to play SoR+Eggs to avoid discarding anything. The first Egg turned into a duplicated Phase Dragon (the first creature we talked about), and my second Egg turned into a Deathstalker (the second creature we talked about). Only the dragons were relevant that time, but getting both things we talked about in the correct order was mind-blowing to me.
I feel awkward about this victory. Not only because of the Queen Egg, but also because he had the advantage of me not knowing his deck in the first game. With the replay, that advantage was gone.
I would have been fine if he won that one and not me.
