Oh my. Did not expect a 3 game turnaround.

Wanted to push through earth so I figured I'd give this a shot. Mod of an experimental deck I made. Unfortunately for every creature I played, ji412jo had a Lightning to remove it.

Predicted the Ghostmare, but a lack of hitters (in my first 15 cards I only drew the Phoenix) and not-perfect playing cost me the match.

With access to Air the first thing that crossed my mind was Adrenastaves. I then realised that would be expected, and I seriously needed to get a win on the board. Adrenatitans has few hard counters (especially with Reverse Time and Parallel Universe out of the picture from the previous two games), and I ultimately won by the cointoss. Pushed through Air.

Probably misplayed my RTs a little, but a low quanta start from ji412jo and Chaos Seeds that weren't in his favour gave me a narrow win.

Three early Forest Spirits, only one of which was CC'd, and a Nymph's Tears set me up here. ji412jo didn't draw the Shockwaves when he needed them.

GGs ji412jo. Don't know how I pulled that off.
