Game 1:
I opted for the standby, Graboids, even with no RTs allowed. It was still brutally fast with the right draws and adding some quanta disruption and CC was easy. His urn 1 was: Nova, Nova, Nova, Arsenic, Graboid, Forest Spirit. Since I had 2 unupped pillars, I knew it pretty much wasn't going to be a contest. However, I did manage via drawing my only 2 BBs to get 50 damage on the board, which would have been enough had his final card not being a BW, as I had expected, since he wasn't winning on board, had more than enough quanta for anything, and still wasn't evolving his 2nd Graboid.
Game 2:
Wanted to play this deck, and it performed very well. Despite getting both my quanta stacks blown up I had an OD'd Golem and a BB for his early shrieker, and as he had nothing outside of a late Eternity (By which point I had Pulvy) to get rid of it and didn't draw anything to outrace it, it got over 20 attack and won the game.
Game 3:
I played vs. Fire, which isn't the worst matchup, though he did come out really fast with 2 Phoenixes on turn 1. Fortunately he had also wasted 2 Cremations, so I knew AMs could be important. Sadly I had no Warden to start with, which might have won the game, but a shield did stem the bleeding until he got a Shrieker out via Graboid. I had to make a decision about what to AM; if the card he had just drawn was a Cremation, hitting a Phoenix was really bad, and I should hit the shrieker, if not, Phoenix was the better choice. I hit the shrieker and he promptly hit it was a Cremation. Later in the game I was low but about to turn it around with AMs, when he topdecked a Deflag to take out my shield. I had another in hand but was too dead to do anything.
Game 4:
Despite poison being banned, BW and Arsenic were too good to not make a super-strong deck. I had a pretty awful 1 pillar draw but it came with BBs and a turn 3 Arsenic, so I managed to stop his first Shrieker and it's PU copy, and had BW to delay losing just long enough.
Game 5:
I was curious as to what he was playing when I saw Life mark, since Adren shriekers it not the most viable of decks, but it became obvious that he was a Nova variant that simply didn't draw any. That said I had a fast OD'd Golem, and it would have been close had he gone off as well.
Game 6:
He played the same deck and had the exact same thing happen, except I had an Eternity to mean he could never win no matter what.
Game 7:
Was vs. a Firestall, and thought my chances were pretty good. I had a very fast pulvy and went to town on his quanta base, so he never got above 20 quanta in either :fire or :earth the whole game. That said I was really late to draw my attackers, with all but 2 Golems in the last 8 cards. When I got one with 7 cards left I put 2 BBs and an OD on it, so that it would be unkillable and ensure the win after coming out of stasis. Pulvy did roughly 130 damage total this game, a changer and 3 golems each got 1 hit in but died to CC the next turn. I was a tad afraid of him having Deflags but he would need 2 to have any impact, as both pulvies were in my starting hand.
Rest of the descriptions inc!
