5th Trials (Earth) Terroking 3 - 1 (Earth) CCCombobreaker

[Terroking]

Very nice games, some especially close ones, and I definitely can't say I'm very happy with the way RNG let me do this trials, winning my element is pretty nice.

Game 1:

I just decided to play Fractal+Dims yet again, as eventually someone wouldn't be playing Pulverizer vs. me in game 1. Lo and behold, Light mark. I had an all quanta and a Fractal draw, which put down a lot of beating, despite a very fast Diamond Shield that scared me quite a bit. The game just kept going, at one point I had 23 Steel Golems on the field, and that turned out to be enough, though I was left with single-digit cards in deck.

I knew I had to replay Trident at least once, and so I did. A low-pillar draw could have been fine as it led to a quick Trident, but as my hand was filled with all Golems and no pillars to play them, I lost pretty easily to his pretty nice Earth/Darkness deck.

I went with the deck that had yet to lose, and it did not disappoint. Yet another turn 3 Arsenic piled on huge poison, and drawing tons of BBs to deal with his creatures helped a ton too. Near the end he healed off a 32-hp swing Nightmare, and it started to look close, but Arsenic was too much at that point and I won despite his lethal damage next turn.

I knew Graboids was a solid deck, and I had used perm-dependent decks all 3 other games, so I switched it up. I saw his mark and found we were playing the same deck, and both had 2 pillar draws to boot (I had a pillar+pend). I got the first Graboid out, put he quickly had a number of Gnome Riders as well as two Antlions. His first attempt at a Graboid met my BB, though, and I piled on the Shriekers afterwards. His multiple hitters made it very close a the end, any 6-damage topdeck could have won it for him, but in the end he didn't pull one, if even there were any in his deck. I even got to play Eternity on the last turn (At 6 hp, nonetheless) for value.

Well played TK.  Wouldn't want how I felt about my draws to overshadow your great decks and solid play.
