As agreed last time, we hold a special schedule this week. We hope everyone can join who couldn't before. For this, please vote for the time that suits you better. The poll will be open for 2 days, so make your decision quickly. ;)

Until the poll is going, you can also send us change suggestions if you think the rules are imbalanced.

Can we have it like GMT 22:00? GMT 0:00 is horrid for Europeans. I believe GMT 22:00 is good for Americans, too.
(While GMT 8:00 seems very bad for them.)

And pls make some balancing. [edited, sent ideas in PM!]

Guys, please do post decks. It is rather unfair not knowing decks after a tourney.

What a horrible tourney btw. Bad choices and bad luck.

First I played an AM SoV deck against Maths, but he played Mito SoFos with Scorps... slow slaughter.

Then I was a bit anxious what to choose... expected Reflect shenanigans, so didn't play Psions... what then? I just tossed Fractal Eggs, and
prayed. Last time when I saw this deck in action (against MasterWalks) it produced 4 brutal creatures in a row against me (Seraph and alikes). Guess what.
I had 10 creatures with 0 or 1 attack from 11 creatures... After that it didn't really matter what happens, since he played SoPa Light Nymph Hope
deck, and I had no chance. Another slow execution due to my dims. I was furious about my RNG, but I could be more angry with myself not playing
that nice Mindgate deck...

Yeah, it is unbalanced, I know.

Talking about fairness. Excuse me guys for taking too much time between games. It is just anxiety. I know that won't explain anything, it is still
against the rules. All I can say is sorry.  :-[

I unhid the previous topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-july-7-oracle-clockwork-unupgraded/msg1292714/#msg1292714), so the decks used in that one are now also visible.

I used the following decks in the previous iteration:

I was afraid of Ice Bolts, that's why I went with dragons instead of Shriekers. I only used 1 EQ, because Wyand has holding back his PPMs.

Grav Shield Stall

55p 55p 55p 55p 56i 56i 56i 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 5bs 5bs 5c2 5c2 5c2 5c2 5c2 5c2 5c3 5c4 5c4 5c5 5cq 5cq 5cq 5cq 5cq 5cq 8pn

Wyand's matchup against me was ironic, because after I had beaten his 2 pairs with my 2 pairs, we swapped our pairs the next time we met. For this matchup, I brought the only deck that my reverse deck would have lost against.

A mono water rush against mono death. I expected quakes, so the overquanta backfired.

Unoptimized Stall

I didn't even need healing, I think Squids + SoPa were enough. I might remember wrong though.

Blue Nymphs

I ran into Reflective Shields with this, because I forgot it exists.

When Discord Was Not Banned

This was the first deck I built. The build was unoptimized, but it did a good job.

These are all the decks I saved in that tourney's folder.

I didnt save decklists. I used unstable gas and air nymphs mixed with some rage potions and owl's eye. Then I used mono darkness with a lot of steal and devourers. Next was a 6 psion mono aether with 4 lobotomizer's to try and stop momentum. Next was an almost creatureless mono death with bonewalls and poison. After that I used mono life with emerald shield to counter psions. Next was a poorly made water/light stall. Next was mono fire with some rage potions and nymphs to replace 3 bolts. Finally, I used a mono entropy with maxwell's demons and pandas that failed because I mindgated poorly.
