Should be an epic match as a result of the interesting bans.  I am very much looking forward to this!

[EvaRia]

Sounds like it will be epic!

I'm a bit sad that atm I won't be able to make this one

Oh well, I look forward to the summary!

I call this deck "Mostly Rush". Exciting, eh? But hey, it's descriptive. Just 2-3 Dims can turn any game around if your opponent can't circumvent it. Funnily enough, I drew a perfect amount of quanta, and then only damage upon damage. I didn't expect to face Lightnings in the first game, but Mindgate is just too slow without defense.

Basic MA works against most decks pika could make. Hell, it can even rush great stalls. I pulled 2/10 damage sources for most of the match, which I feared would spell doom, but eventually my Longsword did pika in amidst the Dials. I was lucky to have 3 Dims in my hand, drawing one fast enough and pika only being able to Gate one.

Good ol' Brimstone Thunder. This time, however, I renamed it "Hell", plain and simple. Why? Because you're being tormented by hellish critters and magic from afar while your opponent is untouchable. Didn't think I'd win this after I lost connection from a great start, but pika faildrew the second time as well, and my late draws were perfect (5 Lances and more). I won by just one turn.

TU Chargers is just sexy. I figgered pika would go with some neat shield this time, and I got nice draws. 6 Chargers and a Gavel at the end is just brutal.

Hearing pika saying "Well, this is interesting." tipped me off that he was running Entropy. I considered BE and Quint in Fractal Micros, and I considered Discord and Mutations. I knew the most consistent I could get is MA due to the several threats. I only saw Mutations (Phase Dragon with Growth ftw <3).
Not a bad trap card. Interesting decks as always, pika. :>

[EvaRia]

Gratz Higs!

Untouchable~

[willng3]

Lol.  I was wondering why I'd been so lucky lately.

Grats Higs.

[ffun]

Grats, Higs. Flawless title defense.

Congratulations Higurashi to be the first Winner in 5 matches these Trials.

In any trials, as far as I know.
