I waited too long to chain silences, only got 1 lightning, and used it on a scorpion.  If I would have saved it for the adrendilane'd frog, I would have won.  I waited till after his first wings was over, because I only had 2 silences in hand... drew 2 more during the process. Ah well.

Really good matches.  I thought I was going to be destroyed after the second game, but I was able to pick correct decks and come back to win.

I am going to hold posting my decks and match overview until mine and willing3's duel with wizelsnarf is over, since I will be using them again.  I don't want him to get any kind of advantage due to this match happening first.  I have what I used saved and will update this after the match.

Bah, fail deck choices and match-ups after those first two rounds.  I'll go ahead and post seeing as how I still have about 15 decks left up my sleeves.

Now my luck went down the drain...

Was it 13 cards? Meh, my memory is deplorable in these areas so it may as well have been.  If that truly is the case then I had no chance of winning.
