ggs bogtro, that's one more loss than last time! We can rarely be satisfied with our draws when we lose, but I at least hope you had fun 8)

(yes zomg it even has Dials in there I never got to use or draw xD)When I woke up today I knew I'd play this deck first, it has the best chances vs most decks but while thinking about it I was worried about one thing: Deathstalkers. Bogtro brought me just these. Fortunately, bogtro had no Steals and the Duck didn't fancy these Deathstalkers: they barely hit and I never even needed the Miracle I had from the start. Bogtro got early Parasite/Bloodsuckers + Voodoo to start Poisoning me, but the Doll quickly died.
Also, yay for trolling SoSac
Yeah, so few Poison counters

Drawing all the Steals and Pends early wasn't what i needed against this deck, though.
No screenshot. Wishful thinking had me win with Duck blocking 9001 damage.

My 1 unupped pend draw made me sad, too, but SNs made up for that.
Yeah, I'm a naughty little Beef, creating banned cards with SoSe just like that 8)

It also makes the best use of Dark Nymph of any deck I can think of, but, uhm, well... you need to draw them, first!4 RoL starting hand with a Hope, some pends and a Fractal topdecking right when I need it: in other words the perfect draw. At first I figured I'd just keep Fractaling Rols until all damage is blocked, but meh, that's boring. Then I figured: I could just Fractal
his Crusaders and Endow
his super-buffed Dagger => win. So that's what I did, bogtro got damage amazingly fast, but as my Crusaders started endowing while his were sadly looking at my Hope victory slowly became certain. Right before I could seal it with another Fractal bogtro gave in.
Plenty of Fractals left to block what little damage came through in hand, too!

That's right, that sole win :PAs soon as I saw the deck it reminded me of a deck I built earlier: Animated SoR Eternities with Nightmares for draw locking (discovered just in time I couldn't use Animate Weapon, though, herpaderpderp). It happened to be just that, although it had more offensive strength, and less draw locking power, my deck was a terrible matchup and needed a Cloak and a Miracle (no, not the card) to win. I managed to stay alive ridiculously long by topdecking all the SoDs, but the result was the same.
Yeah, no secret stuff in hand, just plain countered

When it looked like bogtro's sole offense were Daggers I figured I'd Siphon them and go for deckout.
Didn't feel like giving him that Dagger given he had of Steals.

Bogtro needed a Supernova to do moar stuff, so a lack thereof allowed me to happily chip away health onto 0.
No SN for you
Oh, here's the one deck I didn't get to use:
