Win: Slow draw for Afda. I thought him getting pulvy out before me would be problematic, but in the end it didn't matter.

Win: Afda only got 2 pillars, I started with 4 pillars, 2 devs, and also won the cointoss. Following topdecks were also literally perfect for me.


Good games

Good games, and good luck in the final!

Game 1 (Loss) vs Grabbow

We both had relatively poor draws. I started with only 2 pillars, and didn't draw into any more in the next four or five turns, so was quite slow getting creatures played, and would never be able to afford Nymphs. A quick Graboid/Lycanthrope for iancu left me quite far behind - I needed to draw 2 out of 4 CC cards in the top 13 to recover. Only managed to draw the lone GPull all game, which wasn't quite enough.


Game 2 (Loss) vs Mutabow

An early Graboid/Mutation/Vagger for iancu was a tough opening, but I had three BB in hand and a couple of Chargers and a Titan, so was staying competitive - I just needed a little more damage to race the Vamp Dagger. My next 7 cards are either Pillars or the second Titan, by then iancu drew into more creatures and killed me.

Probably should have upgraded the Oty in this deck, though it still would have been nice in this match up to eat Gemfinders/Lycans. But I didn't draw it, so no big loss.

I had a Shockwave for his early Gargoyle plus a quick Nymph. By the time he played a Dragon I had a second Nymph down which was far too much damage to race, even with Steals and a mid-game Vagger.

I drew 2 Pillars in my top 14 cards against two Devourers in iancu's starting hand, not to mention two Steals. No chance at all.
