RoL/Hope vs. Light/Dark stall; the one deck I feared facing with mine at this point in time. I was happy to see Torb spending a Siphon on a Ray though, and from there it was a stalling game. He kept alive against the army of Rays by Siphoning now and then and healing with Sancs that came a bit later. It took -ages- for me to get my Dragon, which can be expected when you only have one copy. His Duck Mantle wasn't kind, so I won before he could Miracle a second time.

RoL/Hope vs. what first seemed like PU Obsidian, but turned out to be Fractal Obsidian with Dims. Took a while to get mah Hope, but once I did it was just a waiting game. Since my RoL/Hope is 31 cards, it was either gonna be deckout or Dragon spam. I didn't count him out once I got enough Rays out to block >12 damage though, because Siphons could've done me in. When he Fractalled the Obsidians, I was pretty sure he didn't have any. Soon enough 8 or so Light Dragons came out to play, but they only had fun for one turn.

Twin Recluses vs. Gravy duo. I was expecting him to Overdrive his Unstoppable Doll, so I saved my TU's (4 in hand after 2 Recluses out against his Duck Mantle), but it took a long time for him to do that. Probably didn't draw one, because by the time he was almost dead (not a very good Duck), he spammed Unstoppables on the Doll and one Overdrive, then Cloak. I was happy to get 6-7 Recluses on the table too, so no matter.
Great games though. I had some good luck with matchups and draws, and it will be difficult to top the excitement of these matches. The threat of Siphon makes your heart race, especially in stall games :>
