My Grabbow counter, vs a Grabbow! But sadly I got too much quanta on draw without an OE, and when I finally got one, I didn't fly it and it promptly gets deflagged. Bad play.

Monodeath rush against his flying arsenics. Skull shield saved me here by turning both his Nymph and Dragon into skellies. If both (not either) survived, I would have lost.

Deathstalkers vs Earth duo. Great start for me: 2/2 pend/pillars, a Recluse and Nightmare (and a useless deathstalker). Then I got my dagger soon. By the time he was able to EQ, it didn't matter anymore with my cheap cards.

Monodeath vs Armagio Bonewalls. We both get early poison on each other, and he blocks my creatures with a bonewall and an Armagio. He seems to have gotten an overquanta'd start here. My creatures were eventually able to hit through and won the damage race for me.

Reclusetal vs monogravity. Nice quanta-flooded start with a single Fractal and Recluse, which I held on to until I was able to fractal. Armagio and merc + gpull as CC weren't enough to hold off the army of recluses.

Speedier Poison vs Dark duo. Fortunately (for me), Devourers didn't steal all my early Water quanta away, just enough to get three Chrysaoras out. I got damage on the board fast enough to beat his, plus the Vampire and VDagger lifesteal.

EQ/BB splash vs Merctal. Solid counter against Fractal again, but I got worried because I didn't have any EQ or BB in my opening hand. I got one later on, and it was enough to slow him down for my slow damage to beat him. I won by a turn.

Seeing that he already spent his Aether mark, I -had- to bring this. Unfortunately, I was met with the Dark duo again, with my 1 pend start not helping at all. I got locked down by devs, then... desynch happens. The match was pretty much set even that early, so we just played it out, and as predicted, I lost.

Reclusetal vs Dark duo. I knew it, and it was a good choice to bring this overquanta'd thing. I started with a single recluse and a ton of quanta, and didn't draw any Fractals for the first few turns. But I DID draw both silences early, so he couldn't play anything while my recluses kept hitting him until half HP. He played a duck shield and two chargers while I still kept drawing quanta, until the last turn where I finally drew a fractal and used it for the win.

So I tried my own Grabbow, against his Monodeath (sounds familiar...) but this time I don't get any death hitters. Still, it was a decent start with Graboids, a spirit and lycan, which he slows down with Bonewall. I had a fog to slow him down as well, supposedly. But oddly for the whole match, Fog didn't block a single thing.

Life Poison stall vs UG dials. I was expecting some sort of bonewall + CC dom/stall after playing those two flat rushes against him, but I was met with a deck that I unexpectedly countered with a Jade shield. I got my shield up pretty early.

Holy Smite! against a fire duo (I'm guessing BW + rage pots, because firebolt is banned). The kind of deck I expected in game 3, but this deck counters it neatly as well.

Entropy CC splash vs Merctosis. I was thinking that this should have been a favorable matchup for me, but unfortunately I draw my CC pretty late. Only one Chaos Seed midgame and a pande 2 turns before losing. He chimeras the remaining mercs, surviving with exactly 1hp against my creatures, enough to beat me on the last turn.

Supposedly a grabbow counter, against his rainbow. I had rage pots and bolts in my hand early, while he plays a turn 1 merc and Forest Spirit. With the help of a Momentum, the FS gets out of rage pot range exactly before I get the quanta for it, while he uses Holy Light on the recluses that I play.

Predicted the exact deck I wanted to counter - a light stall, potentially with blessed otys (which he actually does have). Unfortunately, I only draw two pends out of 18 quanta sources, and I just keep on drawing everything that's not quanta for the rest of the turns, while a blessed oty just beats me down. Probably also bad play on my part - I should have just stared at the oty until I was able to fractal more recluses.

Thinking he still hasn't played a mono, which I restricted to using only creatures with the Titan ban, I chose to bring this again. Maybe I should have dropped the rest of the firebolts, three of them were in my starting hand.

Harsh bans. I was thinking too much about countering him too. GGs.

Air duo vs Bonebolt. He draws his poisons early, I get an OE and no other damage. He just Lightnings the recluse I play later on, and unable to hit through his bonewall, I easily lost.
