Uh, this tourney...
- No TOs to host, so as www told we did it as a "group effort". He was the operative host of this tourney.
- Challonge down so we had to find an alternative.
- Only 7 ppl -> double elimination.
- Ppl constantly leaving due to boredom, work or network problems.
It lasted for 4,5 hours. For my 3rd place I sat here about 3,5 hours.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I started with Adrenastaves, while he played an NT deck (with quantum pillars). Then the AI took over his board, and eventually won by a narrow
margin (getting a lucky green nymph from the qt). I was kinda furious since I only had 1 flying weapon from ~15 cards. But the game wasn't a dc, he had
some connection problem, so he handed this game to me.

Played a DBH vs. a death deck (poison,bw,mummy,flesh r.). Something strange happened, since I copied the deck code, and in the first turn I
realized that somehow I have an Earth mark instead of Gravity. I quickly checked my original deck code at dek.im, and it showed the Gravity mark correctly.
I cannot imagine what happened, since my earlier deck had a Life mark. Strange. Nevertheless, mathman was kind enough to let me restart the game
with the correct mark. My starting hand was nearly identical, I was able to play out a Discord around turn 2, but that helped only for a while, because
a few turns later he was able to play out a BW, and another one... Since I had only 1 Charger on the board (other two lurked in my deck's bottom
) he eventually
outdamaged me. It was a really narrow game.

Adrenastaves PU vs. Adren Catatitans. He played out his first combo, I played out mine, too. Then I PU'd the Titans, and it kinda meant game over quickly.

My poison deck couldn't gather enough damage before he set up his RoL/Fractal/SoPa/Hope combo (he had 24 hp at the end).

Opted for an Air deck, had very good chances to win, but in the penultimate and the last turn he drew 2 Steals, and it decided the game. He stole two of my Wings.
Just one Steal wouldn't be enough for him - but this turned me 1 turn short of winning.

The hell knows why didn't I think about Firestall... Let's just say that I was very hungry, I haven't got a bite of food for hours. So instead of Disquake
something equally tasty I used this Darkness deck, packed with CC. For a while I was musing about mass hitting his HP with Thunderbolt/Siphon, but a
Reflective Shield popped up, making the whole game pointless - from my perspective.

All in all: 3rd place ok, sitting there for 3,5 hours not okay. Didn't have much time to check war decks, though.
