What I would have given for a Fractal...  Instead I just got walled.  So many Miracles and Stone Skins.  So many...

Gravy Shield has a purpose now and isn't completely useless.  Good thing I banned Deflageration.  Definitely a nice counter against his Golems.

Didn't really expect this deck to win, but who knows.  I might have gotten lucky and actually had enough quanta to spam my hand?

Quintessential Shrieker Rush sets up for the tie and what seems to have been a given win...  Cue tension for the tiebreaker...

Didn't even get to draw the Wings.  They would have definitely help cut down the tension when he got me down to 4 hp that last turn.  Good thing I didn't need them.

I guess this means there is SOME hope for me in Trials and I might actually make Master out of dumb luck?  But all in all, good games mrpaper.  This has definitely been a good and fun start to Trials.

ggs drake, you had 2 good counters and me having a fail hand makes it 2-3. 
I believe I do not need to post the decks now, do I?

You don't have to. People seem to go public this time for some reason, though.

Rules changes for in-element battles mean deck sharing for those is less significant. And further, my note keeping skills are deficient and my memory defective, I'd forget what happened once the battles are over and my report and decks would likely be incorrect.
