Nice games, after the second match I was definitely ready to get blown out again 3-0, but RNG and good deck choices pulled their weight. (Does randomness even have weight?)

Got blown out by his early Pulvy, late in the game I started to play Steel Golems, but he Pulvied my quanta sources and I couldn't keep up, despite 2 Dims.

Early Arsenic on his side sealed the deal, all creatures getting BB'd the turn after hitting play.

Narrowly decided to play
over
, it ended up working out. Average draw put out quick Toadfish and a Trident, which got Deflagged. A second Trident wasn't able to do much, though, as he had a lot of quanta already out. Fortunately he didn't have much else and 6-damage beaters won it.

Took heed of game 2 and went with Poison, got a turn 3 Arsenic which mopped him up as easily as it did me in the earlier rounds. Similar to that game all creatures got BB'd. His deck was interesting, as he played Mindgate, but I didn't get to see much of it.

Mixed it up a bit and played something weird but more conventional than his last round. His Gravity mark was a bit disappointing, but thankfully I was quick to play Fractal and play all my Golems, which he had no answer to.
