Thoughts:

Josh - If only I could have drawn a second doom, I was sitting on a common bond and a recon program which would have bought me turn 4 at 1 endurance, and a flame trap play. with a pathetic attempt for the Human Torch she was camping. That at least would have felt like i played. A super unlucky matchup for Captain Italy. But I really think  that 1 extra doom in hand would have changed the entire game.

Steph - I was feeling good until after Josh lost he flashed me the PA and flametrap and I realized if he had stunned Quicksilver back he would likely have locked me out of turn 4 and taken it to 5. That is HUGE, he might have actually won. This game was super close! Way closer than the score shows.
