Some of the most intense PVP I've played in a long time. Good games!

I thought this match up would be pretty good for me - early EE causes Devtal some problems, and the storms are obviously great. Didn't draw any of those early, though, so was pretty worried. A quick fractal for web into Dagger and more vamps drained me of all my Fire quanta, despite two pends, but web never drew a second Fractal or Eclipse. Eventually I drew into a TStorm, got some Fire quanta, and the Nymphs went off.
Game 2 (Loss) vs Drainbolt

Very early Dagger for web left me struggling to keep up the entire game. Only 1 Damsel in the top 12 cards meant my draw was slower than it might have been. Did draw a good number of creatures, but web drew a load of Siphons instead of Bolts so all the >5hp creatures didn't mean much. Took me about 16 turns to start to outdamage the Dagger, and by then web drew Gargoyle + Fractal and it was over.

I had a decent draw - won the toss, two towers, one pillar to start. Early Devourers from web were really frightening, but only one Darkness Tower meant his denial was a little slow to set up. I managed to play Fog, Catapult and two Titans (one flown) before the quanta lock. Saved the one Gravity Tower I had at that point so that I could play two in a turn and use the Catapult despite being quanta locked - I just needed to draw another Tower. Fractal vamps comes for web, but Fog is a hero and blocks a lot of them. I have about 3 or 4 turns where I'd win if I drew the Tower, eventually getting it with 6 health left. Thanks Fog!

My early Diamond Shield almost completely nullified his damage, and he didn't have any way to deal with my Golems. Just a bad match up for him here - would have been very different if I hadn't drawn the shield, though.
