...and Essence's bad luck streak continues in epic fashion.
Round 1, version 1, I had an epically good draw, and Mr. Blone had an epically bad one -- and we desynched on Turn 4.
Round 1, version 2, I got 1 Water Pendulum and that was it for the first
6 turns. By the time I could do anything except play a Shard of Gratitude and have it Detonated, it was all over.

??'s are Water Pendulums
Round 2 started better -- he draw SoGs, I stole one, he drew more. I played Crawlers, he SoGed over them. I played Dragons, he Thunderbolted them. I saved up enough quanta to kill him in one final burst of Crawler+Ice Lance damage, and he put down a Phase Shield at EXACTLY the right moment to save himself. I foolishly decided on a Liquid Shadow rather than a 3rd Steal -- if I had taken the 3rd Steal, it would have been game over for him.

I swear to the Gods, the only reason I won against Gl1tch is that Kills cursed him in the last Trials. I literally cannot win an important PVP game to save my soul. I'm genuinely afraid that I might lose my title if this keeps up.
