Matches are best-of-five. The first player who wins 3 individual duels, wins the match.
- Players have (almost) 6 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both.
- If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time.
- You may only use cards from your Vault, in addition to Pillars, Pendulums, and Mark Cards. You may use any mark.
- The number after your name represents the number of upgrades you may use. These upgrades apply to every deck you play this round.
- You may change your deck during the match. If the match lasts 5 games, you are allowed to use up to 5 different decks, as long as they are all legal.

After duels, all players must submit their results and decks to this thread.

If you see anything that you think may be a mistake, send me a private message immediately.

I won toss, so had deckout. Took a chance on stealing SoG (I knew the longer the game lasted, the less likely I was to win), played what I drew, and nightmared for the win.

First time we tried this we desynced, and both beat the AI. The second I had an excellent draw, and ARTHA had a poorer one. Won in 6 turns, faster that I thought this deck could actually go xD

Forgot an upgrade. I was hard countered here, but RNG decided not to give hope to ARTHA, so I managed an exact damage win.

Suddenly I realise all my decks are wadur.

Frozen catamagio vs. Blue Nymph UG Rush. Ended up using a freeze to stall his nymph long enough to catapult a couple magios for the win.  Never drew my squids, so was in great excess of water quanta.  Was super happy to take even one game of mrpaper!

A slight twist on Dm's THE MONO, adjusted because I only have one gravy nymph.  Had potential, but I drew basically only quanta all game, so got wrecked by paper's monofire rush.

Swallow vs. UG Rush.  He got an EE out the turn before I could play my first SoFo, it was all over from there.  I tried to make a go with Otys instead, but no luck.

Frozen Catamagio again, this time into monodeath rush.  Tried to mod it on the fly to have more gravy quanta and less water, as well as some SoFos, ended up biting me in the rearend, as I was holding 2 squids in my hand most of the game in addition to one on the board, but lacked the quanta to freeze his creatures/get my extra squids out.


GGs mrpaper, 1-3 final score, honored to play you and take even 1 game!

was not my exact deck but close to it. perhaps -2 aboms + 1 entropy pillar + 1 entropy deck.
But yeah, i drew no quanta at all, i got rushed before i played anything at all.

looking back i shoulda changed some of them purple dragons for black ones.
But This still went well. he played a seraph very early, while i was aching for quanta. He got me down to 40 hp when i got cloak + 1 nymph of each out. I AM'd his seraph, it healed me all the way back up, and despite a few RoFs, my deck did what it was supposed to do.

Spoiler for Game #1 = Win!:

SoP Wardens vs Immo Rush

I expected that Spikey would start with an immo rush, with an outside possibility that he'd bring an EQ heavy deck, built this to have lots of CC and with a quanta pool that reduced the exposure to EQ to acceptable levels

Spoiler for Game #2 = Win!:

Mono Water Rush vs Pulvy Smash

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

I saw the gravy mark, immediately knew what I was facing and dreaded the opening EQ barrage. However, my opening hand was 6 pillars and a nymph, I drew 5 pillars and 1 more nymph before the game ended, and he drew only a single EQ, and it wasn't in his opening hand, whew! I dodged a bullet on this one!

Spoiler for Game #3 = Win!:

Pulvy Smash vs Fire Stall

Very bad deck mismatch for Spikey, not much he could do but hope I had an awful draw. And while I only drew a lone EQ, I had 2 Pulvy in my opening hand and drew a 3rd quickly. Not sure if Spikey had Deflag, but I had my insurance policy in hand. Pulvy and some dragons quickly gave me the win

Less spirits, more bolts would have won me this game.

The central idea: Underdogs. I was the underdog in the fight, so I wanted to use underdog type of cards to push me a bit to make rather unique decks. Rustler and Fire spirit and RoLs were my true under dog cards. Also always picking seraph instead of crimson dragon to support the idea. GG's ji! 2-3
