flagrantangles wins 4-0 versus FaceOnMars FaceOnMars and I meet yet again in bracket and I can see that he is doing better and better. Our first match was pretty even. He was definitely playing differently from the last time I squared off against him. He used Acrobatics against me and then punched me in the dick when I tried to throw him. TWICE. I used Consent of the Governed against Kidney Shot and it got acro'd. He now has a very small hand. This time, I decided to attack into the mixup with a Patriot Mirror because even if he dodges it, his followup will be butts. He plays Frost Web and gets outsped. The Vortex is up and running again. I catch his block with my Dodge/Throw mixup. At this point, my hand is now 4 Kings and a Jack. I keep using King for Positive Spin until he dies since most of his options to beat King have been used. I start off strong in the beginning and do around 30 or so damage before Ven wins his first combat. After that, he returns the favor and does around 40 damage before I bonk a Kidney Shot with Righteous Zeal. After that, spins close out the game pretty cleanly. I'm a bit clumsy to start in this game. We block for a bit and then I get bonecrackered. I lose a King instead of a Joker and then my King gets ItO'd. Seems like someone really dislikes K-Spin. Eventually I dodge a Queen to get the Vortex started. I reveal J and then play it dodge side first. He plays a 2 attack, I rotate into the attack side to gain a card and clash since it nets me a card, trades favorably for me, and lets me keep spinning. I spin King, tax throws, and then play the 5-attack for lies. I run into his throw so I get cards from the tax and the normal attack and then I parlay that into a 67J situation which also gets me an Ace and significant damage. Poor Menelker. I spin the K again and then play it honestly. Thanks to Patriot Mirror, I'm able to close this match out pretty handily. I get a perfect during this match. Quince lies and all of Flagstone benefits from his magnanimity. I block for a bit to get a very lovely hand. After that, I initiate Vortex drive with chip damage from a Truth Geyser. Also, I would like to mention that there was an excellent bluff at one point in this set. It got him out of the vortex for a turn. He hadn't really been bluffing the whole time so I figured when he played it, it had to be a joker. I WAS WRONG. I was able to put him back in the washing machine shortly thereafter, though and then between Positive Spin and Patriot Mirror, I was able to finish Menelker off and win the set. GGs FaceOnMars! I enjoy playing against you and I'm looking forward to our next set when you will, no doubt, have improved some more!

I enjoy playing against you and I'm looking forward to our next set when you will, no doubt, have improved some more! The only thing I would add to flagrantangles analysis is in the second? game I zealously pumped a jack eventually leaving me with 2 cards in hand. Big Mistake! Basically top decked bullshit while my ass was filling up with Quince K spins! Switched to Menelker so I could see how much I would forget in a pressure situation. Obviously quite a bit! May our next meeting at least get to 4>3.

scymrian > fodazd 4:3 Zane > Grave Zane < Troq Onimaru < Troq Onimaru > Troq Onimaru > Argagarg Onimaru < Argagarg Zane > Argagarg Game 1 was the sickest, as I blocked two TPoS and won with dodge>K into K Checkmate. Game 2 featured my Max Anarchy beating an Eagle Totem, but I still lost the round. Whole set was tight, but I was slightly ahead this time, avenging a previous tourney loss. We're 1-1 now! Comin' for you next, flagrantangles!

As promised! SCYMRIAN > flagrantangles 4:0 Zane > Quince Zane > Quince Zane > Gwen Zane > Gwen Game 1 ended in a Crash Bomb checkmate, and Game 2 ended in a combo that ended in J, with Bomb in hand just in case the Joker was real (but it was not). Game 3 ended in Anarchy just a couple turns after I powered up for it, but if I would have just let it rip immediately, it would have clashed with a Q and I would have won right then. Thought our TO might show some respect and block! Game 1 also involved me drawing zero blocks until I had like 19 cards in discard, but somehow we managed to get out of that. I hurt myself laughing. ggs to our esteemed TO! My prophesied bracket, of course, stands

I got bodied, my friends! I'm realizing that I have no idea what to do against Troq and Zane. I find them so intimidating because it feels like everything they do is safe and effective. Of course, all that really means is that I have to get done more practice up in this bitch. Maybe pick up an Onimaru since he can handle both Troq and Zane! Furthermore, I'm not worried about his DeGrey and Argagarg counterpicks since I play Quince and he does fine against both of them. #plans

Fraa vs Attilian > < < > < Q and MA clash, I die > Q and MA clash, he dies > So I went into this worried that Attilian might play Gloria at me but also worried because most of his top played characters are reasonably good against Arg. So I decided to just Grave it up at him instead and it mostly worked very well. I sadly never got to do a checkmate odd attack into TPoS despite playing the MU 7 times but I do enjoy playing Grave vs Zane. Good Games and best of luck in the loser's bracket!

"Oh hey it worked" < > Far closer than I would like to admit... > < < Had a single ace since turn one, never drew another the whole round. > Also had a single ace since turn one, until I topdecked another and played AA for lethal. Whew. GGs snoc, a very close set. I clearly need to work on my anti-Gloria skills.

> Had lethal off of attack, so I tossed a fridge at him. "Oh hey it worked" THAT'S MY LINE PLS GGs to you too, I'm never as unhappy to see Argagarg as Lum as DeGrey but it's always nice to do well against the counterpick. I'm still not sure I fully understand the Arg-Gloria matchup that well, but I managed to suss it out well enough to force Zane out. I thought I had it more or less in hand at ~20hp vs a 4-card 14 hp Zane, but I was not prepared for Topdeck Phase, so I'm kind of bummed to lose that one. Footage is currently uploading/processing, will be live here when done:
