Summary: Even though I won every coin toss, I couldn't stabilize against will's aether deck. The right balance of rush and stall for him.
Good games willng3, this truly proves you are better at PvP than I am. Good to have another throwdown with you. Always enjoyable.
Reflection: I haven't spent enough time working this game to deserve this mastership. I half-glad I didn't win. Willng3's the better master. I did give it my all though, so don't think I gave it to him. Between family, job, commute, new baby soon, other obligations, I only had 2 hours in elements to test this week. About 6 hours on paper making decks. Plus, this community needs peons, those good at the game, but not at the top. I have never won a tournament, a PvP event, anything really. Good thing I truly enjoy this community and just playing the game. Expect to see my crazy face for a long time.

Draw 2 more thorn.
3: leaf for the fun of it, throw him off. This leaf is actually useful!!

10 turn loss.
