[14th Trial of Time] PlayerOa 5 - 2 Naii_the_Baf

[PlayerOa]

Good games! You did well considering the up disadvantage. While I lost G1 due to a horrible mistake, G2 and G7 could easily have swung your way. Always a pleasure, Naii!

(0 - 1) I misplayed badly - like reeeeally badly. Was two turns away from winning, had two dials in my hand as well as the 5th and last UG. Then I figured it was a good idea drawing on 1 quanta (nope I didn't pay attention, usually I have plenty of quanta at this stage but played a HG earlier to make room for more drawing the previous turn), rendering the sundials in my hand useless. Bam, that's a way of starting a final

(1 - 1) I figured to take the slow route with Eternity instead of spamming Dragons. That almost turned out to be fatal when Naii pulled out a BE from his sleeve. Managed to squeeze in the quanta for a double PU dragon, which made me just too fast. Discord kept on keeping me at one aether quanta short of Silencing, though, which would have saved me from a couple of deciliters of sweat.

(2 - 1) Naii had a really poor series of draws which unfortunately never made things interesting, but this deck should have a great advantage nonetheless.

(3 - 1) Acing the starting hand never made this close, but if Naii had gotten a turn or two more to set up, this could've been much closer than it actually got. kaempfer's darkdom is pretty hampered by the lack of RTs and Steals, though. Still a strong deck!

(4 - 1) Titan hits hard through Dials, but this game was never really going to slip through my hands.

(4 - 2) Naii drew tons of quanta which made it possible for him to keep bouncing the rewound shrieker back into play. Had to use the only pull I got in 20 cards to kill an early shrieker, had I drawn any of the others it would probably have been game.

I banned Steal but Naii still stole my deck, win by default gg

(5 - 2) Got three early SoVs but no Hourglasses for the entirety of the game. Naii adapted nicely and played his dragons as soon as quanta allowed him, skipping the whole OTK phase. I started chaining dials one after one, knowing that unless he plays silence (or something stupid like reflect) the game was mine. Luckily I didn't see it, and the Siphon which had stayed in my hand since turn 1 could seal the deal. Game, set and match~

At least I won two games.

Sundial is my bane.

UGs can't compete against a straight rush. Sundials were there, but Oa misplayed.

Faildraw, again. Little starting quanta and excellent draw from Oa.

I forgot to include Hourglasses, but hey, the extra quanta was great against Eternity. Oa's GPs hid too.

Tried to steal Oa's rainbow. No Chimera, though. I should have included Pulvy.
