reasons of losing again and again:
- cannot overcoming your own fears;
- losing your temper quickly due to rngtrolling;
- sucking at this game.
If you think this is disrespect, than I feel sorry for you not understanding, because Oa is the guy who is certainly in my top3 respect list.

Figured that Oa will try to troll me with AMs, I put some safety into this deck. AM for countering that, BE for using that if I get AM'd.
Should have expected from Master of Time a
starter... But what you cannot expect that your opponent starts with
2 Time Marks in hand, and gets an Eternity in T3, which pretty much sealed the game. I struggled for a while replaying the sole
Dragon I was allowed to use whole game, AMing dejas (which got instantly RT'd), but I never had enough quanta to wait and
play 2 creatures at once (and AM+BEing one of them next turn).(Maybe if I go with the BE-less version with more quanta, but who knows.)

Yeah, that's what I call an rng-tease and it happens to me again and again. Was worried because of Pandebonium (brutal deck, kills you
in 8-9 turns by poison and has an almost perfect defense), so I played a special SoGstall created for that. Unluckily Oa today played in a less
expectable fashion and used AdrenaStaves. So this looked like an easy win for him, unless I get very early Arsenic. Was able to establish
a good defense quickly by SoGs, but I bottomdecked my poison damage very hard. And he had an early AdrenaStave, which healed back instantly
my puny damage. Then SoSe came, and gave me Chaos Seed, which was lucky: RT'd his Stave. I had 2 other SoSes in deck, they gave me
nice stall cards: Sundial, Flooding, Aflatoxin and 2 CSs. Oh, and a Purple Dragon, stupid me forgot about his MD so it died promptly. Mistake#1:
maybe if I save that for later use, that's enough for my win. Flooding prevented flying staves, because Malignant cells filled his side quickly.
Sadly neutral creatures aren't affected by that water. My Arsenic arrived as card#22. Yeah. In the remaining 8 cards I also had 3 poisons...
All an all: I may had good SoSe draws, but other factors ruined the game. In the last moment I threw a double CS on the adrenalined MD:
siphon and gp. Thanks. I think it was mistake #2, since I had a Voodoo Doll on my field (SoSe). But somehow I feel if I target that creature
that would have resulted only 2 RTs... So I lagged behind Oa by 1 turn.

Played a really quick SoSe Firemaster deck. Drew a lot of Firemasters, but NO SOSE IN 14 CARDS. Thanks. Freezes kept me alive for a while,
but Oa had 4 WWs there quickly plus a Dragon, so it was hopeless. And only still lost by 1 turn, he having a clutch Vagger and producing
exact damage with that.

Trusted my Blue Nymph deck. Replaced the 3 SoSes with 3 Mutations, which meant a lot: killed his lone MD. After that it was simple.

Yeah, got pretty much countered, but I still lost only by 1 turn, only because Oa's Chaos Seed lobo'd my Pharaoh... 1/11 chance, hell yeah.
Looking at his deck, well, 3 SoBras, I imagine playing the same deck and having a quinted golem at only T5 or worse... The reason I ditched my SoI deck
altogether because while testing this thing happened too many times: not having sobra, having too much novas in hand etc.
(This deck on average gets the sor+pharaoh combo out at T5, now I had it at "T6" - considering the extra 2 cards by his sobra.)
And ofc I had a mistake here as well: not playing the upped Pharaoh... I focused too much at 2ATT+BE works and 3ATT+BE doesn't...
but it was a SoI deck, for crying out loud... Oh and to add some rng-insult: had 1 SoR through the entire game (from 15 cards, yeah).

Expected the stall, got the stall. Thankfully pandas couldn't troll me, so it went simple with all the shutdown and stallbreak power I had.

That was the only time when I haven't made Oa waiting.
Had the idea quickly and played accordingly. His first creature got mutakilled.
I think his only chance was to get early overdrives for my staves, and praying I'm having crappy rng and bottomdecking other staves.
None of these happened.

LOSS 3-5
Troll Oa beating me with a SoSeBow. I was fearing Firestall or Pandebonium, but I convinced myself that he will go on a different route again,
and playing bow. As usual I didn't heed myself, and instead of playing RT Splash (or SNova Rush or CP Dunes) I played CP Charger AM Overdrive
crap which failed spectacularly. AM because what if stall with AM. Charger alone is good against BW, though bit of a luck is needed to not get lobo'd.
12 pillars seemed a bit short, so I added an extra. Ofc started with 4 pillars... But haven't got a creature... had to cook with what I had... 2 CP + 1 AM.
I blew up his Ghost to 17 dmg then AM'd it. He had another 21 dmg on the table, so it was poor mitigation. Had 2 overdrives in hand but putting that
on Frog or Firefly... no thx. Had my first Charger as card#14. Well, thanks. OFC he drew into a GP (SoSe?) and played an Arctic Dragon (SoSe for sure,
he had exact quanta for it). I had a last chance AM, but it was a tease as well: ofc his first 2 hits were normal creatures, not AM'd ones. I know, not a
huge misfortune, but he had 40% chance for that, which pretty much means I had more chance to survive another turn than not
(altogether 25 dmg + -30 AM'd creatures = heal).

due to my inner fears (lost 2 games -possibly- due to small mistakes, and a 3rd for not trusting my gut feeling), and had questionable rng. Bye folks.
