The all-star deck of my Trials experience so far!  Coin toss = win!  Good draw with three pendulums which are enough to dump an early Recluse to bait the early Lightning against the suspected Bonebolt-ish deck.  Drew Silences like a crazy-man so decided to start the chain early to put pressure on Shrink's discarding - make 'em make choices!!  Then drew more Silence!  This decision to early-press could come back to haunt me if a big Bonewall appears though as no Fractal no Fractal no Fractal... then another Recluse (probably should have saved for late Fractal - c'est la vie!).  Mid-game was a sitting duck with empty hand and no Recluses and no Fractal against on-slaught of poison and Arsenic.  I need Recluse AND a Fractal to win this - next turn FRACTAL #1 draw followed by RECLUSE #4 draw!  Now to swarm and bring down the BW before --- wait Phase Dragons!   Now it's a real race to the end which I win by a healthy HP-overkill margin but with precious little HP remaining.  WHEW!

Coin toss = win!  Another good opening hand for me with this deck:  Three quanta + Arse + Mummy + buffs = muy bein!  From the Life Mark I was expecting another SoG-type stall so began the rush-rush-hurry.  Turns out it was an opposing Mito-adrena-spider-frog deck.  An Adrenaline top-deck for Shrink would have reversed this outcome easily  WHEW!  2-0 now by a margin of 19 HP combined

Good opening hand again with the Mummy and RT's to get Pharaoh's going and the quanta to support it at a decent pace.  This deck is so much stronger with SoR in it, but as it was banned I made do without them.    A stall-poison from Shrink bodes generally well for a swarm build-up style able to tear down BW's in less than a turn.  Ended with quite a few poison counters on me but the swarm taketh away Shrink's HP much quicker than the poison on me - win is.
