Round 5 Lore
There was a war. A Time War. The last great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks for the sake of all creation, and they lost.

ZAWADX: I order you to surrender, boy, or you and your bloodline will be obliterated!
AFDARENTY: I do not have a bloodline. I do not even have a family. They all died in the Time War.
ZAWADX: Oh, dear, I am awfully sorry about that. I suppose I shall kill you, and then kill all of your friends.
AFDARENTY: I do not have friends. I am the last of my race. Everyone else is gone.
ZAWADX: That’s just terrible. I do not even want to destroy you anymore.
AFDARENTY: Then I shall exterminate you!
(Afdarenty shoots his laser at Zawadx, electrocuting him instantly.)

GINYU: Legend says that you led the battle in the last great Time War.
CORRI: Well, I’m not really that sort of man anymore.
GINYU: The finest war in history, and we weren't allowed to be a part of it!
CORRI: Oh, get over yourself. You Sontarans would have been no match for the Time Lords at the height of their power.
GINYU: The Sontarans are capable of defeating anyone in the universe!
CORRI: I am giving you a warning. If you bring back Gallifrey, your race will be wiped out.
GINYU: The Time Lords are no concern to me. I shall start by destroying you.
(Ginyu shoots Corri with a crossbow.)

SKYLASA: You’ve been looking for me. What do you want?
DDEVANS96: I have come to kill you.
SKYLASA: I hardly think you have that capability.
DDEVANS96: I will kill you with my katana.
SKYLASA: Those are from Japan. That’s cultural appropriation, now isn’t it?
DDEVANS96: I have no culture. I have no family. They have been hunted to extinction by people such as yourself.
SKYLASA: The Ice Warriors were weak and careless. How are you any different?
DDEVANS96: I’m not your regular Ice Warrior. I’m the Grand Marshall of the Ice Warriors.
(ddevans96 slices through Skylasa)

WILLNG3: You are a member of the Silence. You have murdered the Cybermen.
MEOWMEOWCAT: They wanted to bring back Gallifrey. We had to stop them.
WILLNG3: Your actions are illogical. You murder in the name of peace.
MEOWMEOWCAT: Such is the cost of the survival of the universe.
WILLNG3: The Time Lords must be destroyed, even if the universe burns with them.
(willng3 lifts his arm and fires his laser at MeowMeowCat.)

IANCUDORINMARIAN: What a beautiful statue. It shall be obliterated!
IANCUDORINMARIAN: Why are you just standing there? Come out and fight me.
IANCUDORINMARIAN: Ah yes, that’s right. Statues cannot move.
(iancudorinmarian turns around and feels a stone hand on his shoulder.)
THEELKSPEAKS: Some of us can.
(iancudorinmarian disappears.)

Sent my available times to kirbylover314.  I'll be on an airplane Saturday and unavailable Sunday, which I let him/her know, but I can do any other evening, although Thursday will be very hard to schedule.  If I make it to round 6, I will only be able to play very late Saturday or else that Sunday due to prior commitments.  (I return sometime Saturday)  i.e. I am gone most of next week

Game 1: WIN.  I used dimensional shield and fractal once; kirby used no support cards.

Facing a deck without PC, the only way I could lose was my own stupidity, quanta screw (which was helped along by kirby's earthquakes) or bottomdecking dimshields.  Earthquakes kept my quanta down pretty good, and I wasn't able to fractal until the very end, but I had plenty of dimshields, and slowly wore him away.

Game 2: WIN.  I used arctic squid and shard of patience once; kirby used no support cards.

I consider myself lucky to have won this one.  I got two otyugh and two shard of patience right off the bat, so even with an early pulverizer, I managed to get three 'growths' on my otyughs, which meant they could eat steel golems or stone dragons at will.  (never saw any dragons, though)   A later amber nymph meant quanta denial plus outhealing the pulverizer, which I never did get a shard of focus to deal with.

Game 3: WIN.  I used dimensional shield and fractal twice; kirby used sanctuary and miracle.

-1 upped pend +1 upped tower because EQs.  (which I probably should have done before)  I think this would've been a very hard matchup for kirby to win; it would require me to bottomdeck the chargers or the fractals.  As it was, kirby was spending earth quanta on wardens/auburn keeping the chargers away, but I topdecked fractal right after kirby topdecked miracle, keeping me going long enough to win.

-Note for rootranger/my round 6 opponent: I will be unavailable next week except for late Saturday and most of Sunday.  I will do my utmost to play my match at those times, and hopefully the opponent I get can schedule around that.  If not, I understand if I have to be eliminated in round 6.

g3 - Good draw and waited it out with dims in hand until the chargers could do their thing.
g4 - we had a weird desync where the AI he played didn't have a fractal so he won (I beat him on my side with a dim in hand...). In any case, we replayed and I had a better draw; a few turns in we again had a desync, but I won on both sides.

Ggs seul, thanks for the match!

Thought I'd give myself a bit of immunity versus anything with CC with SoFrs here but unfortunately I didn't draw any to see if that strategy would have worked in my favor. Although that may have made the game a bit close, I doubt I would have won here given that I kind of neglected to take into account the upgrade (read:speed) advantage he'd have this game. 1-1

Not sure which deck had the advantage here since dd wasn't able to play more than 1 creature nearly the entire duel, with 2x Nightmare making that even more prevalent. We desync'd but as I won on both ends, the game was mine. 2-1

So I went with this deck mainly to give myself an advantage against that Sanc stall or anything with Squids if he chose to pack them. I completely forgot about Speed Poison. I also completely forgot about putting Green Nymphs into this deck when I built it, which made me laugh at myself for thinking Bone Wall was an autoloss as soon as I drew one. I managed to draw Rage Potions quickly enough for each of his Squids, with my Green Nymph saving the day by tearing down Bone Wall as well as allowing me to win a turn earlier after Adren'ing a Dragon. 3-1
