Good job Coldsteel, I'm finding your next opponent now. Will get back to you soon :)
It is with deep regret, that I have to disqualify Coldsteel from the A1 Siege.
His Lance deck in Phase 1 (againat Boris) was different from that in Phase 2 (against Zaladar). Me and Jacqui noted that the deck looks very different, so we check through the replays and indeed the deck appears to have different cards.
Wanting to be careful with such claims, I PMed Coldsteel and Preybird, and asked Coldsteel to sent Preybird his deck list, while I separately sent the list of cards we have seen seen to Preybird. Coldsteel was open and submit the deck list to me directly.
I found the following discrepancy which include:-
1) Against Boris, you played 2 Puwen in a single game (your deck list only have 1)
2) Against Boris, you played 2 Kris in a single game (your deck list have zero)
3) Against Zaladar, you played 2 Birgitee within a single game AND Zaladar gained 1 additional Birgitee from a DR. (your submitted deck list only has 2 Birgitee.)
For those who want to check the facts, you can search for the game history of A1 atomzed. My games record against xColdsteelx can still be viewed.
The rules of A1 Siege is clear that the attacker has to be deck lock throughout the 6 matches (2 deck locked heroes in first 3 matches, and 2 deck locked heroes in next 3 matches). The attacker advantage is that 1) they can plan ahead 2) they know which faction/ hero the opponent is using 3) they can play choose to play 1 of their heroes whereas the defenders will not know which heroes he chooses.
The *key* advantages of the defenders are 1) 7 stages long and 2) info about the opponents deck, and assumption that they are deck locked. If no 2 is taken away, then the attacker has an overwhelming advantage.
I do not think that Coldsteel is intentionally cheating. The siege matches typically drag for a long time to fit the convenience of everyone. Seeing that he doesn't write down his deck list, no wonder he will forget the details of his deck. The core of the deck remains the same, but the details differ. And unfortunately in A1 Siege, the details counts.
Coldsteel, my advice to you is that you should make it a habit to write down your deck list for the various tournaments that you participate in. It's crucial, ESP you are such an active and good player and can play all sorts of decks... You need to write and fix your deck list so that you don't break the rules. And in a self policing environment like SE, it's absolutely essential to keep the rules, and more importantly, the trust within the SE community. I make it a point to write down my deck list for the tourneys I'm participating in, just to make sure I don't break the rules.
To show that there is no malicious intent from Coldsteel, we are going to put him in the waiting list.

Indeed (pun intended :p), Coldsteel has reached the furthest so far for the A1 siege! Good showing and unfortunately he loaded the wrong deck... Maybe 1ndeed can better his record? :)
