thought I'd open with this again has it had nearly beaten andre this nearly won again however my lack of permafrost came back and bit me again as scibis permafrost was freezing as it nearly always does I never got my ice shield to slow him down.

yes tis deck looked promising against scibi except when rng gives you all of your quanta as the top half of your deck fml rng and this is when I basically gave up as I needed to get the full three points here but played on beacause more points can't do me much harm.

first chance in this round I actually got to use this little beauty hence i used it no questions asked and it performed just as it had in all prior testing scibi deflagging my fire pends worried me but i still managed to pull it off.

well under normal circumstances my hand would say i got screwed however it this particular instance the quanta i hand drawn was perfect for the hand i had been given so the result was rather fast didn't even need the life nymphs to keep speeding up my creatures.

As speed poison is rather reliable when you draw well i thought this was a safe bet then i saw adrena guards and though oh s**t this one is going to be tricky but a plentiful supply of rng (finally trying to make amends for the rest of this phase) i managed to draw the extras bones when needed and was allowed two octopi on the field to control the two adrena guards scibi had drawn and a couple of friendly heals kept me alive in this game.

well this is it my foray into water trials has likely come up sour this time but don't worry next trials i will be back with a vengence and next time I will win

*TrO update - fixed the title*

He didn't have any CC this time, so I managed to outrush, and even after he used one of his Miracles.

Almost.  He managed to topdeck 3 bonewalls to delay me just enough.
