??? are 5 unupped Psions and one upped one

Ruta played a nice / duo. In the beginning, I was screwed, since Iridium Wardens blocked my Psion and I couldn't use Mitosis. Fortunately, RNG was kind to me when I drew my Electrocutor. After lobotomising the Wardens, my Psions were free to generate daughter creatures while my Heals kept me alive. Diamond Shield can't block spell damage. gg

deck 2 - LOST

Pharaohs with Bonds to keep me alive by generating Scarabs and finishing my opponent with my Pharaoh/Scarab army. Ufortunately, I wasn't able to find a way to add quanta for Scarab's Devour ability, which would be useful to get rid of those Momentumed Deathstalkers of Rutarete. An early Liquid Shadow casted upon my first Pharaoh, Steals casted upon my Bonds and Momentumed Deathstalkers bypassed my Emerald Shield. I couldn't last for long. gg

deck 3 - WON

I was lucky and established a perimeter of Mitosised Rays of Light along with Bonds for healing and a Hope shield early in the game. Vader Sader can't bypass Hope. gg

deck 4 - WON (both mine and Ruta's deck were illegal)

A admit I am a little addicted to Mitemeralds. Despite the illegal decks, this match was very interesting with Devourers draining my quanta, a Sanctuary stalling me and Drain Lives to slay my Dragons. However, due to drawing all of my dragons early in the game, I was able to rush Ruta in the end. Mitosis was used just a few turns before the end, it wasn't needed earlier. gg

awesome games, Ruta. RNG blessed me today. ggs

[Rutarete]

Game 1 Loss:
Started out with a not-so-original Denial Duo Deck. I slowed him down in the beginning because he had no mitosis and only one psion. Then came the Lobo. I never got enough damage output, so that's a flaw in the deck.

Game 3 Loss:
I went with a VaderSader. Against MitoRoLHope unfortunately. What a horrible matchup for this deck

Game 4 Loss:
This deck is a little reminiscent of a stall I used in War 5. Unfortunately, almost all my healing cards were RNG'd to the bottom of the deck. Though I held off for most of the game, he had ~10 cards left.

Grats for the victory Artha.

[13:53] <+Absol> i suppose that has something to do with your, ahem, "lucky charm"
[13:53] <+Absol> you spam that every game now

[ARTHANASIOS]

Crap! I am a noob! That's what happens when I don't play with my PC and with my list of prepared decks in front of me. Unfortunately, for me, I have used Mitosis 3 times, so my last deck is illegal. So, the score is 2-2 and I have a final match with Ruta still to do. Sorry for this...
EDIT: However, Ruta also uses Dusk Mantle 3 times, so idk what happens now...

[Vineroz]

silly trialers not paying attention to rules

Looks like this match will continue from game 4 with score 2-1.

We apologise for lacking the superior intelligence of a tournament organiser.
Btw, that's the reason we should post our decks right after a game.

Grats for the victory Artha.

Yes, my lucky charm will be always my lucky charm.
