Countered by Manuel's Afla-Nymph Deck. Poison + Adrenaline does a number on your staves. Also had one turn into a skeleton at full health.

One pillar start. Yeah.

Spoiler for Never Used:

Group 4: I chose this group because it's one of the better sets of elements out of the other ones. 3 strong elements at the price of no PC was fairly worth it...for the one match I played anyways.

This probably would have been used a lot more if I got the chance too.

Might have used this one too. Probably would have avoided using it against MW since he has access to Fire Storm.

This was highly inconsistent during testing. Probably could have used it, but I decided against it.
Group 1: Didn't choose this group because, as much as I like Gravity, it's kind of slow. Also Time and Fire are hard to put together.

This idea was stolen from Fippe. Would probably have worked better if I had access to Aether quanta for this deck, but is still surprisingly fast.
Group 2: Water and Entropy make a hard duo to work with.

Not exactly the most speedy deck I made.

TOs, you can make a NT deck.

Can I say that I figured someone would run something similar to this deck?

It's a Shrodinger's Cat deck. Enough said.
Group 3: I just didn't feel like this set.

Fun Fact: This particular build can leave Adrenastaves at a stalemate, since both are able to heal off the damage done to each other.

It's your standard Earth-Dark domin, minus Devourers.

This could have been a solid deck to use, but I just didn't like the slower aspect of it.

It doesn't change much, but this deck was illegal. It only has 5 cards from another element.

[Wyand]

I'm a bit disappointed that many players don't care about posting their decks.

Quick tourney... Played against Vindilos.

0-1 Wyrm/Adren

Spoiler for Hidden:

Started with a pillar and a pend. Awful start, but this deck can recover from this. Except when your opponent draws
4 pillars (from ~6-8...) and plays 2 devs instantly. And a 3rd a turn later. Really frustrating.

0-2 The Bad Deck Choice

Spoiler for Hidden:

Sort of a let's bomb the opponent deck. But this needs creatures. Vindilos hardly played anything, since he had a SoV deck.

One last comment about this match. Before the game Vindi was musing about whether to join the tourney or not. He felt that it wouldn't be fair
because of his TO knowledge. But still, he entered the competition. This really isn't my main issue. I lost - this still isn't the problem.
OK, I had bad luck and a bad deck choice, 0-2. But I really didn't understand the thing that happened after. Vindi changed his mind, and wanted to
forfeit the match to me because of his "TO knowledge". I declined the offer.

I would say there are 2 options for a TO: enter the tourney and play OR don't enter the tourney. Don't think about it publicly. If you need
reinforcement from the community than ask plainly, and that's it. Quite simple. What Vindi did was the worst thing - psychologically.
I don't know what were his intentions, but this is humiliating - that's why I declined his offer. I do not need such 'victories'.
