Another enjoyable match - Fippe was a pleasure to oppose.  A standup opponent always makes for fun games.  Thanks!

Coin toss = loss.  FIVE pendulum opening hand bodes well.  Decided to dump a few Recluses early to draw Lightning (suspected Bonebolt at this point) when no BW was up.  Early poison from Fippe.  Debated starting Silence chain early but decided that would not be good without multiple in-hand... dump Recluses it is!  At 16 cards in deck with 5 more Silence to draw I started chain hoping for the odds-favoring Silence top-deck - BINGO!

Coin toss = win!  Good opening hand here with 1 Arsenic, a stalker, and some buffs.  See Life Mark and expect SoG's and healing-stall.  Push for speediest rush at this point.  Chaos Powers... snickering at Skull Shield this game.  Complete with 2nd-to-last turn exact-quanta Nymph play.

It wasn't until my second or third HUGE misplay this game that it dawned on me - Eclipse is a dangerous card against a Death opponent AND when you decide to stupidly use Nightmare.  :p  Honestly, I slow-played, saved quanta, and targeted very poorly this match but somehow still had a chance late, but blew it again.  I am blaming the misplays on either being a poor PvP'er or a 2-0-games-lead-head-high... take your pick.

Well, got carried away and selected a deck that uses an element I had not unlocked () and to top it off the deck wasn't legal anyways if had been unlocked.  I may yet derp away this match!!   I modified the deck-used to make it legal for possible use later and have since lost the code for my illegal deck.  Hopefully that isn't a problem as I had to forfeit this game-win anyways to leave it at 2-2 pending completion (refer below).

Pushed -nothing- per Onizuka's ruling on illegal deck/element.

Game 5:
WIN!

Coin toss = loss.  A decent draw with some stall (BW + Dial) and a couple Poison to get the grind-down started early.  It appears I am opposoing a Darkness Duo - perhaps Vagger?  The hax Mantle?  Vamps?  I feared Vampires or Stiletto would be a certain defeat... I dropped poison ASAP and waited to stall.  Bonewalls first and then Dials later - realizing Drain Life's may hurt me by a couple turns and cause a loss too.  I never encountered healing from the Darkness portion of Fippe's deck here.  The Grey Nymph and dragon draws were pretty big too as it seems Fippe packed little or no CC this game.  A sly BW 'steal' timed right gave Fippe a chance to block some heavy creature attacks late but to no avail.
