Ghosts and Graboids, gotta love it.  He had a little more stall to his, though, as he tried to use Wardens, and that was ultimately what doomed him since I was able to rewind them and he simply wasn't able to get out the damage to compete as I was constantly pumping out quanta and creatures.

We desynced several times, most with me winning, but some with him.  In the end, we desynced again, but I had his board cleared and quanta-less at 6 HP, so he gave me the win.  I was ready to kill the servers at this point.

Yeah, wasn't really able to do much.  He got out an early Pulvy, which completely stopped me from playing too much.  He managed to Momentum a Golem for a good portion of the game, and momentumed a Dragon to finish me off.  Not a particularly close game.  That'll teach me to try and hard counter someone.

I saw the Death mark and got a little nervous, as Plague could really hurt this deck, but knew that the odds of him taking a Death mark just to use Plague were slim and none.  I was able to Fractal Gnome Riders fairly early and build up a solid quanta base.  We picked away at each other, I Stone Skinned and Dimensional Shield chained when necessary, Fractaled Golems for the win.  I lost  decent amount of life, but the Stone Skins and Dimensional Shields in hand meant it really was never that close.

Great games, Z.  If there's one thing I'm learning these Trials, it's that deck matchups make all the difference.  Helluva good job!

Game 4 -  I facepalmed when I saw this deck because I had been stuck between 2 decks for the next match, and my other one had a better chance, at worst. Fractal'd Gemfinders to outheal my Arsenic and I was pretty sure he had a Phase Shield the entire time. His Mark :

Good games Mith!

I really like the earth/aether deck. Gotta love fractal gnomies, they can do anything.

And sad the wings deck didn't work out, always gotta love the wings. No surprise Grabs with ghosts/EQs did well, earth and time is always solid.

Good job Mith.
