Antagon 5-1 Kamietsu
first of all thanks to kamietsu (and also plastiqe before) being such fair and nice opponents.
3 matches played now and i was lucky, 3-0 in front so far.
first match kami showed me a nice deck with aether mark and fractaled brimstone eaters, but i did good damage and was a bit faster. only a BIT, luckily his last card was a fire spirit.
2nd match was very close, kami showed earth mark, golems, and a few aether pillars for quintessence, i had not the best starting hand but i was drawing nice, so i was faster too. also think his starting hand wasnt good too.
3rd game i had a very good starting hand (2 phoenix first turn) and kami a very bad one, no real damage-dealer (he showed fire-mark with photons, a immolation and a brimstone eater) and also no draw, so it was easy for me to take the victory here.
i was playing a speedphoenix deck, i modified a bit between the matches (changed the weapon in the deck/put in a rain of fire/etc.), i think ill have to think about other decks, cause kami will definitly have a counter, when we meet us to finish our match.
round 4: was today, and kamietsu showed a entropy-mark (with supernovas, antimatters, etc) and i saw phoenix' and couldnt stand it, so goodbye englands rose: kami won this round, 3-1 now
round 5: i decided to play an anti-rainbow-deck now and used this one

kami played this rainbow deck with entropy mark again and i played an early dragon, he antimattered when he was down to 40 and i had to fire bolt him, later i won with another dragon+firebolt+fahrenheit, 4-1 now and i have 3 matchballs now
round 6: i decided to play my innitial deck again, not knowing what kami is planning against me, cause he saw my fire bucklers and black holes last round, and they all hurt. he made a good decision and didnt changed his deck, and when i saw my starting hand, i was a bit disappointed, i had 5 phoenix, a photon and a deflag at hand. but kami goes first (i think he did in all 6 rounds!) and i had a lucky draw: cremation. had then a 2nd soon and - i think - an arsenic and just rushed over kami. 5-1 and i won the master title.
here is my initial deck, i only changed a bit from match to match (2nd fog instead of reflectshield, fire buckler for a deflag, congeal for a shield, etc.)
