I played my first round playoff games with Koru tonight. They were very exciting. I was nervous as usual. I never thought that our matching issues were on my end, but they were. My router needs to be replaced. After I power cycled it, we were good to go, and never DC'ed or anything. My bad Koru >.<
Anyway, game one was on my home map. Koru played a very mean deck (as did I). I think he got a key card too late, and then we found that he didn't have an answer for my plan B. Plan B turned out to be a major pain for him that match. I got the win. We had enough time for his map, so we went on to game two.
I am pretty sure that Koru landed on the color land he needed pretty much every time I was looking. This made it challenging for me, as he was chaining like crazy! We had quite a bit more battles this game, some good back and forth action. Mid-late game, I used a few cheater cards that really hurt what he had going, and I got back to the castle over the goal to take the win.
Great games Koru! You were a worthy opponent, and I look forward to playing you again on the ladders or in the next tourney
