drew 0 of 6 dims. He probably had deflags, but I would have played dims as soon as dragon came out to maybe give me a chance to stall him for a couple turns to try to outrush.

Game 2 - declared and (WIN)

topdecked 2 of my 4 dims. played first before he could fractal, played second a turn early to ensure chain. Easily outrushed thereafter.

Knew I had to play an OTK deck here. Had an appropriate deck, but I severely misplayed by fractaling way too early. Not sure what I was thinking :/

Figured I could outrush anything he sent me. Cointoss win + poor quanta for will made it easy despite 3 heals.

Needed another OTK here in case of stall, was afraid of possible UG again, but I liked my chances regardless.

I half expected him to use the same deck as last time when I called Fire for my match, so I removed the Nymphs from this deck and threw in Firestorms instead.  Ended up working to my advantage as I managed to FS his Recluses right after he used Fractal, enabling me to out-damage him.  Also, 6 Pends in my starting hand definitely helped me a lot here by giving me a turn 2 Dragon. 1-0

Far too predictable.  In retrospect I should have added Dims like my intuition told me to for a less one-sided match. 1-1

Won due to a playing mistake on deuce's part apparently.  Win via deck-out. 2-1

Intuition told me to replace the Arsenics with Bone Walls in case of a Mono Aether rush.  Drew all 3 Arsenics, but very little quanta producers so I doubt it would have mattered either way. 2-2

I was really hoping here that the Air duo I used during our last match would steer deuce away from a OTKish style deck and more towards Fractix or something rushier.  Didn't work apparently. 2-3

GGs deuce.

I think I did use the exact same deck
