Before the tourney began, I knew stalls would be pretty strong as they are effective vs both poison and the rush options available. Pharaoh was prolly the best proactive stallbreak option available, but it was pretty slow unupped. I only say one dedicated pharaoh deck, they were prolly eliminated early on.

RT/Mumsie: 1-1 (Lost G2 vs DANI's Pdials, Won G1 vs. Treldon's Air Rush)
My solution to the fast pharaoh problem, this deck was quite a kicker against the meta. With decent rng, this could be strong against almost all decks popular. I played this game 2 against DANI where it lost to dial spam (which was when I realized that pdials was a slightly better
/:time combo). Also played it by mistake vs Treldon G1, where it barely stole a game vs his air rush by RTing his drag and getting on board early.

Water/Air Stall: 2-0 (G3 vs. DANI's Water/Air Domin, G3 vs. Spider's Water/Death Break?)
My go-to deck, it's only weakness was perhaps a bigger deck (even then ice bolts and shockwaves could pull off a lethal, with luck). Kept this in reserve every game, never disappointed.

Bonestorm 3-1 (Won G1 vs DANI's Speed Poison, Lost G1 vs Spider's Air/Water Stall, Won G2 vs. Treldon's Fog Splash Time Rush, Won G1 vs Heman's Pharaoh w/ Death Splash)
My opener every time, except once when I miscopies RT Mumsies vs Treldon. It's also strong against the field due to having dragons over poison. Expected to see more of this dekc though.

Copied from DANI, big shoutout for being sportsmanly about those matches! Hope you can fix those computer problems soon! We do still have to finish Conquest. Not much to say here, this deck is great at closing out its games.
Thanks to my wonderful opponents, and to TOs for hosting ^^
