Pop Goes the Damsel vs Mono
This turned into a rushing race - I had a great draw, Kuro had a poor one. Won in 6 turns.

Light Stall vs Disco
Weird luck in this game. I won the toss with a 2 pend start (all the quanta I drew for ~20 cards), meaning I could play a sanc before discord troll. Then Kuro draws both entropy quanta to play a turn 2 discord before sanc. I get quanta trolled for ages, but started with both shockwaves which slowed him down considerably. Eventually I play a sanc, fog blocks ~70% of attacks, I miracle and seal the game.

Mono vs Pharaohs
Pretty good draw for me with a couple wyrms - no EE though. Shockwaved a few scarabs to keep his control at bay, ended up outrushing him.

Despite having 15 quanta sources in a 30-card deck, I barely had any speed at all. Boo. 0-1

I honestly had no idea how annoying a simple mist could be against a swarm of Ghosts [they should be able to sense where the living are without eyes anyway! DX]. I specifically remembered chipping him down far below the 50% mark before he placed a Sanctuary up (and my Discord essentially slashed his Light quanta every time before, making it impossible for him to place any light card previously), but the Shockwaves really did me in.

It was like I had so much luck drawing my two entropy pillars the first turn, but then RNG decided it wasn't being fair to both sides and gave him 100% evasion. 0-2

I honestly wished I had access to Shards, or at least used Precognition instead of Black Holes (I guess I was worried about some nova variation or something). My initial Pharaoh began to pick up speed, but man, this deck was far too slow to deal with anything. Yuck. 0-3

Good games again Afda, but ugh, damn that Fog Shield. 

[Kuroaitou]

Updated. By the way, our bans were:

From me: Titan, Wings, Immolation
From him: Reverse Time, Nightmare, Reflective Shield

I didn't want to deal with Wing stalls, Trebuchet combos, or surprise Unstable Gas/Immorushes.

It's clear he didn't want to deal with Ghostmare, the single TIME SPELL THAT USERS HAVE BESIDES PRECOG , and any major obstacle to the usage of Unstable Gasses.
