Thought Id lose this one after the 3rd-4th  turn fractal but my dim along with the the lack of deflags/fractals on majofa's hand gave me the win. Also forgot to put a 6th upped  .

Last minute decision to play immorush. Was a good choice. Athough I lost the coin toss I was fast enough to get the win.


Good games majofa. One more win team!

This deck is unbelievably overpowered, seriously. With the constraint of Aether/Death/Air, hardly anything short of a larger deckout beats it.

Used this to shake things up a bit, but I'm not even sure I had to.

Seriously, zanz, if you're somehow reading this, nerf Dimensional Shield to last only 2 turns. Dimensional Shield takes the central spot in the metagame and warps every single deck around it.


Anyways, now it's down to the Cows to decide the round. If no one can sub against TORB, I'll be able to play on Wednesday.

Dims played the most important part in all 3 games. Root's 1st and 3rd game stalls were too powerful to be won without an OTK...

I just needed to be faster by 1 turn and I could've won that, but I lost by deckout instead.

Very nice games, but extremely poor performance on behalf of me . Congrats Root!

[deuce22]

So, what's the ETA for the final match of the round?

[dark ripper]

Waiting for chessy to say if he is going to play or be subbed. Dont know yet...

[deuce22]

I feel like that decision should have been made before the deadline, but whatever.

And Root's dims OP comments about how nireus couldn't do anything against dim Sanc stall short of larger deckout with air/aether/death is just grossly wrong.

[RootRanger]

TORB and I are playing in a few hours today. Sorry we were so late.

@deuce Yeah, he could've done Fractal Psion, but Dims are still pretty OP.

[deuce22]

@deuce Yeah, he could've done Fractal Psion, but Dims are still pretty OP.

Mirror is a quick fix for psions. But even with mirrors, there are other options that still counter it.

I suppose attempting some Silence may have worked for OTK (Silence turn before Dim runs out = no Dim replacement?)...

[Higurashi]

Nay, Sanctuary stops Silence. There's UG though. If you can choose between physical or spell damage (which Psiontal can with Electro), one type of shield will fail. Psiontal can still lose to Sancstall without Reflective due to Electro, but UG's will just OTK it when it has no damage.

I figured I'd throw in my wild card straight off the bat: would do well against both bonebolt without plagues as well as rushes. Early Vampire Dagger made all the difference with my 2 Nightfall draw and only 1 Minor Vamp during entire game.

Bone Wall, plagues or no plagues... let's start off with 1 adrenavamp under the cloak. Plenty of Cloaks, but what if Plagues... meh screw it, I threw everything under my cloak on the table. Turns out no plagues so I won.

ggs, very close matches That rush was a pain to deal with xD
