Seems like I used all good rng on this one, so far I have never won a round other than through a bye. (and you know team  's ranting about rng)

Decks used: Mostly nothing original, mainly decks build around cards that would normally be banned

1-0

I panicked a bit when my first few decks were illegal (attempted to build grabquake (oh yh at least 5 hp), catatitans with wings (all air cards illegal), discquake with golems. But fortunately i got enough to work on time. They better not turn out to be illegal!
All my decks were underquantaed, but i couldnt improve on them much w/o breaking rules.
I found it interesting that no one used cards that ignore stats for the most part, such as rt, BB(only as part of wincondition) and freeze (mutation sorta counts and panda was actually used), which i presumed effective against high hp creatures, but i found them hard to fit in myself (and took out BB out of disquake as it proofed ineffective).
