5th Trials - Jippy99 (Death) 3-1 ak65ala (Life)

[jippy99]

It is always fun to play against ak, who is such a skilled and friendly opponent.  Even though he didn't have the best of luck with his draws, he played well and kept me on my toes.  Thank you for the good games ak and good luck to you in the rest of trials.  Decks and summaries coming in a bit.

I opened up with plain death rush here, thinking that it could outrush any of ak's decks.  I got hit with anitmatters which slowed my damage.  In the end, I was not able to overcome the antimatter'd recluses as his damage finished me off.

I didn't bring a wings deck in my first match against life and I thought it would be effective.  I had a good draw with multiple spiders and 2 wings, and that was basically the game.  Wings stopped all his attackers and ak had little defenses against my spiders, arsenic, and dragon.

Against his darkness deck, I was a little wary of playing my eclipse.  I kept the damage coming and finished him off with the eclipse and a dragon.

Back with the wings deck, I had an ok draw with lots of death creatures but no wings.  Luckily, I drew my first wings a few turns later and my spiders had started piling up damage.  Ak had no response to my spiders and arsenic and I brought my dragon in to deal the finishing blow.

Not the outcome I wanted.  I feel like a better player could have beaten death; I have much to learn...

Good games Jippy99.  Thank you for setting up these matches quickly.  I wish you the best.

Game 1: Win Kept his offense down long enough to win.  I'd say he was only a turn or two behind me.

Game 2: Loss My internet glitched out, causing the game to lag and giving me the 'you lose' screen.  (First time I have had that happen...) Only three turns into the game, but I gave the win to Jippy99 due to it not being his fault.  Without seeing his deck, I do not know if I could have won, but I had a good enough start it was possible.

Game 3: Loss My defenses were one or two turns too slow.  Also a bad match-up for me.

Game 4: Loss Expected hard counter that I threw the wrong deck against. Part of why I am no good at PvP.
