I thought it would end up being too slow, though, particularly as I feared a lot of novaimmorushes, but I never faced one until the finals. Still, I think it would have lost against most of the decks I faced.

round 2 game 1 jijo LOSS vs monotime (quanta flooded, no fire cards in top 13 cards except 8x pillar)
I went -1 pillar +1 potion after this because I got flooded against ji412jo with quanta
round 3 game 3 megron WIN vs monogravity dragon/armagio
round 1 game 1 washington WIN vs novaimmorush
I pretty much ripped this from one of my sillier BL decks. It did remarkably well today, losing only once, to ji412jo, when I never drew a nymph all game. He had eternity, though, so even if I'd gotten one, I'd have lost.

round 3 game 2 megron LOSS vs novabow life mark cock/adren/luci (never got eternity)
It took me awhile to actually realize ghost and nightmare were both in antiaverage's cards :p Once I saw that, this became an obvious deck. I won against a liquid antimatter/lycanthrope deck, and lost against a very unusual novabow with a life mark. I think I'd have won that one had I had an eternity in the first couple turns, but I never drew one all game.

round 3 game 1 megron WIN vs monowater (i won coin toss)
I got pretty lucky both times I used this deck. In game 1, I froze ji412jo's eternity twice, and one of those I had under 10 quanta. That let my squid lock his entire board. In the game with MegroN, I won the coin toss, and since it was mostly a mirror match, I won as a result. My toadfish versus his dry spell gave me an advantage, though.
It's a trap, roflmachine version

round 4 game 2 washington WIN vs 60 card entropy mark "the deck" (he had some bad luck with quantum pillars)
Eternity was crippling against any deck not using either deflag or icebolt, so this deck seemed an obvious choice. Ji412jo used it twice against me, only he had at least 3 time nymphs. The game I used it against ji412jo, he was using trident, and I had my mark of time in my opening hand. It might have actually won me the game, because I generated more quanta as a result than I would have with a pillar/pend that would've been lost. It certainly helped a ton.
Due to the decks that I used, the mark I should pick will be fire, time, or water. I think I got a bit lucky with the water deck, so that leaves fire or time. Time won more games (though because I used it more often) and the mark of time I have now quite likely resulted in my making it to the finals to win a mark code in the first place, so it is only fitting I take mark of time for this tourney.
