Decks and recordings later...
I did the best I could, but it wasn't good enough...
edit: on second thought (upon reviewing the recording), I did not do my best! I misplayed the last game, the turn before my last I could have won...
EDIT Aug.9th: decks added, but videos and descriptions later, not to give away info on opponent decks

We had a long (over an hour) match against the servers, where servers were the constant winners, i.e. we kept disconnecting and both beating the other's AI. We gave up and met again next morning. Unfortunately, RNG did not give me sanctuary early enough to counter discord, so I was doomed.
2. FG Flying Glories (light+air) with SoFre

This worked out pretty well. Could have lost to fast rush or discord lockdown.

Complete lockdown, I never had a chance this game even though I had a sanctuary in hand from start, I never managed to play it. With a luckier startup (sanc out before discord) it may have been possible to win this matchup.

http://youtu.be/O9sjj7Xk3dsThis was a stupid misplay on my part. The turn before the last I should have frozen 1 dragon instead of playing a crawler. That would have reduced Calindu's damage just enough for me to survive an extra turn -- in which turn I would have won, with my wrong choice of use of the water quanta I ended up losing while Calindu survived with 2 HP.
