PVP Participation:
Weekly Tournament - January 10th
12 Lives #3
Battle League 1/2015

Spoiler for Phase 1:
Spoiler for Waging War (Against the False Gods):
A counter against Lionheart:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52g 52g 52q 52q 52q 52q 52t 52t 52t 52t 52t 52t 542 542 542 542 542 542 542 542 55p 55p 55p 55p 55v 55v 55v 55v 55v 55v 8pl

Straightforward, use Arsenic and Mummies to kill him, block with Gravity Shield and heal up with Black Hole. Lionheart never uses RT on mummies, and his only other form of CC is Devour. This usually comes in late into the game, and you could even delay it more by using Black Hole to deny him of the quanta needed to devour. Even if you get the worst case where all your mummies get eaten on the turn you play them, you can still beat him with Arsenic if you get it out by the 7th turn. Use Black Hole to recover damage from early scarabs and the weapon slot Eternity. You may also use it for EM.

Spoiler for Developing War Tactics:
War Event Card: Relentless
Players may play an additional game, with the wager of 6 salvages for the winner and 6 discards for the loser.
  • Teams must decide for the additional matches before the deckbuilding phase ends, and are not allowed to withdraw from the extra game once the duel phase starts.
  • The extra game is played after the actual match using the same decks.
  • It does not count towards the result of the actual match. e.g. You may not claim a tie if you lost 2-3 but win the extra match.
  • If both opposing players decide to play an extra game, only one extra game is played.

This is a card designed for the early-mid rounds of war, where teams now have an idea of what the other people can field and thus plan accordingly. (please correct me if I'm dead wrong about this)

Generally, the plan for leading teams and losing teams should be the same: Play matches only for favorable matchups. However, winning and losing teams may approach this differently, as the leading teams could avoid using this to keep their lead, while a losing team could plan to stretch out and try to win more with this in an attempt to make a comeback.

Spoiler for Starting Your Own Little War:
Unupgraded Weekly Tournament: Retrograde

Rules:
  • You may only use 5 to 6 different non-pillar/pendulum cards in your deck.
  • You must use 6 copies of the most expensive card, 5 for the next most expensive, 4 for the next, until 1 copy for the least expensive card. If you only use 5 cards, you may skip any number in the series (5,4,3,2,1, or 6,5,3,2,1, or 6,5,4,3,2, etc.)
  • The rest of the cards should be Pillars or Pendulums
  • Shards, Discord and Earthquake are banned

LEGAL - 6 Fractals (10 cost), 4 Parallel Universes (7 cost), 3 Immortals (6 cost), 2 Lobotomizers (3 cost), 1 Lightning (1 cost). In this example, 5 is skipped, allowing 14 pillars to be used in a 30-card deck.

LEGAL - 6 Relics (1 cost), 5 Poisons (1 cost), 4 Dragonflies (1 cost), 3 Phase Salvagers (1 cost), 2 Novas (0 cost), 1 Dagger (0 cost). You don't have to use 6 cards with different costs, you only need to avoid having less copies of a more expensive card in the deck.

So in this tournament you are forced to use more copies of your most expensive cards, which is contrary to the most common decks that only use a few copies of the most expensive cards as quanta sinks, or the good old stuff-six-of-these-cards deck. Allowing 5 different copies is intended as a feature to let you adjust the number of pillars and pendulums in the deck, otherwise most decks would be stuck with 21 cards which would hinder the possible variety in the tournament.

Spoiler for My deck idea for the tournament, and the underlying strategy:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vn 4vn 4vn 4vn 4vn 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52h 52h 52h 52h 52h 52h 52l 52l 52q 52t 52t 52t 542 542 542 542 542 542 8pj

Since the participants are forced to run more expensive cards, it would be pretty likely that most will be packing Dragons or Fractal. Including myself, I guess. It's also safe to assume that CC aren't heavily present in the decks because they are generally cheap. However, you can use this to your advantage by using the more expensive Antimatter to counter the dragons which have a large presence in the metagame. Skull shield is supposed to take care of the smaller creatures in the case of Fractal, and the possible threat of Maxwell Demons and Monowater NT decks. However, this would be easily counterable by a stall, so you should prepare a stallbreak, too. I'll just leave the rest to you. ;)

The counter I have made is a  Kitty-Bone Wall deck with Silences. I chose this deck because one of the main features of Death, along with poisoning, is to “kill...and make profit of the taken souls” (Elements “Pick Your Element” page). Three cards in my counter, Vulture, Bone Wall, and Soul Catcher, profit from the Dead and Alive ability of Schrödinger's Cat.

This deck works by blocking Morning Glories from hitting you by blocking them with Bone Walls, and building up said Bone Wall with Cats. Along with building up your defense, Kitties also fuel Vultures, allowing you to kill Divine Glory. Novae are to help play Schrödinger's Cats, and more importantly, Silences, which can be used to prevent Miracle. Soul Catchers help quickly produce additional Death Quanta if needed. The deck size of the counter can possibly allow a win through decking out Divine Glory.

The reason this deck counters Divine Glory is for a number of reasons. Divine Glory’s damage is 12 Morning Glories. However, a maximum of 11 Morning Glories can actually be played, due to the lack of another Animate Weapon. That means a deck can win against Divine Glory by either being able to block the Morning Glories. Six Cats producing two Walls means a maximum of 12 Walls can be produced, enough to effectively stop all damage from hitting you.

Another reason why this counter works is its lack of permanent reliance. While it is true Bone Wall is your defense, the beginning stack of 7 Walls means that you can often regain lost walls. Another detail as to why Explosions are ineffective: there are no Boneyards. Some form of Kitty-Bone Wall decks use Boneyards instead of Vultures for damage, but if Boneyard were to be used, they would be destroyed by Explosion quickly. Also, Divine Glory has no creature control, which low HP this deck takes advantage of by using Schrödinger's Cat as a major part of the deck. And lastly, Miracles are rendered ineffective because Vultures can build up a large amount of damage that requires Divine Glory to play Miracle every turn, which eventually can't happen due to him not drawing any or him not having quanta to play any, or Silence can allow you to not worry about Miracle in the first place.

This deck had so far managed to go 5-0 against Divine Glory in the Trainer:

Version used in Round 1 of War #7, where it was the most successful deck.

History and Usage: This deck was chosen because of it’s high win rate and usage seen throughout many wars. In War #7, the Death Grabbow won the most matches out of all other decks. You can begin to see its emergence in War #2 as Team Death’s most exquisite deck:

It was then seen in other Wars:

Overview: The grabbow is a powerful deck commonly found in all areas of PvP. Put simply, it is a rainbow deck (a deck that uses multiple elements) with Graboids as a major damage source. In War, where decks must be composed of a large amount of a team’s element, grabbows in War have a core based upon the team’s element, as well as Graboids. For Death, Mummies and Flesh Recluses are two of the most common Death additions to the grabbow for their high damage-to-cost ratio.

Card-by-Card Breakdown:
Basic Cards:
  • Mark of Earth: Provides :earth for Graboids to be played.
  • Bone Pillars: Provides :death for Death cards to be played.
  • Nova: Helps powers Graboids, as well as the ability Evolve and any other cheap cards like Nightmare or Deflagration.
  • Mummies and Flesh Recluses: These two cards are cheap and good hitters, and also contribute towards the in-element count required for War decks.
  • Graboid: For three :earth and one :time, you can have a creature hitting for almost as much as a dragon at a much cheaper cost

Optional Cards:
  • Deflagration and Steal: A bigger annoyance to this deck are often shields like Dimensional Shield and Fog Shield. Getting rid of them can mean the difference between losing and winning.
  • Lycanthrope and Forest Spirit: These cards or not only cheap, but like Graboid, can quickly grow, dealing lots of damage to the opponent.
  • Lightning, Shockwave, Reverse Time: Cheap creature control, these cards can prevent you from taking too much damage, allowing you to kill the opponent before he or she kills you.
  • Arsenic: With Arsenic, a cheap card that can be powered off both Bone Pillars and Novae, damage can build up even more, allowing you to win even if all your creatures get killed.
  • Bone Wall: Another useful Death card, you can block seven hits with this shield. Against an opponent who doesn't have many creatures, this card might be all you need to win.
  • Nightmare: In War, Fractal decks are very common, and this card can help counter Fractal if necessary.

Strengths: This deck is fast, and capable of winning 7 turns or less. It also is vulnerable to certain types of quanta denial, specifically Discord and Devourers. By producing multiple types of quanta, you make those cards less effective. Earthquake is also fairly ineffective, because Novae power a large portion of the deck, and having both pillars and pendulums also help with fight against Earthquake.

Weaknesses: Healing and other stall cards like Sundials can often cause you to lose. This deck is also weak to Black Hole, as Novae can allow both healing to the opponent as well as loss of quanta. Graboids, Mummies, and Flesh Recluses all have a low amount of HP, so lots of CC, like Owl’s Eye or Maxwell’s Demon can also be a problem.

This deck is meant for AI3 grinding, though it is likely to do decent in unupped PvP as well.

Card-by-card Breakdown:
  • Mark of Earth: This provides quanta to play Graboids.
  • Death Pillars: For playing Mummies and Poisons.
  • Quantum Pillars: These help Novae spread around quanta.
  • Graboids: These will be your main damage source, along with Mummies and Forest Spirits.
  • Deflagration: Pesky Dims everywhere? Say goodbye to them with Deflagration!
  • Lightning: Zap a creature or your opponent into tiny little pieces, killing them.
  • Mummies, Poison, Graviton Mercenary, Forest Spirit: These are to simply supplement Graboid damage.
  • Momentum: You can now have a creature bypass shields.

This deck is quick - even with the Immolation nerf down to 6 :fire quanta from Immolation.  It does have the drawback of so many zero-cost cards leading to a higher ratio of bad draws than a "typical" deck (HALF, 50%, of this deck are zero-cost cards!!).

Cards and Strategy:
Soul Catcher -- Base required for Death quanta generation.  Spark can be used to trigger this by playing and at the end of that turn the Spark dies.  Also, Spark, Virus, or Phoenix can be Immolated for triggering death effect.

Immolation -- Combo with Spark, Virus, or Phoenix to generate death effect (Death quanta) and Fire quanta (for summoning Phoenices).

Soul Catcher -- Base required for Death quanta generation.  Spark can be used to trigger this by playing and at the end of that turn the Spark dies.  Also, Spark, Virus, or Phoenix can be Immolated for triggering death effect.

Spark -- With 0 HP, Spark dies that turn OR can be Immolated to generate Death quanta from Soul Catcher and Fire quanta for Phoenix.

Virus -- Can be played as early as 2nd turn off the Mark.  Also, provide a modicum of defense against other rushes that commonly rely on brittle creatures for damage.  The ability is a death effect (which generates Death quanta via Soul Catcher) and usually leads to a subsequent death effect too!  It can be used for an Immolation target as well to speed up the attack.  Honestly, the ability of the Virus is not too important.  Most important is it is a Death card (War rules) and cheap (1 quanta).
:D

Bone Dragon -- One of the hitters in the deck.  Two Soul Catchers + 2 death effects + 2 turns with Mark = 1 Dragon.  Increase any aspect of that formula and Dragons hit the board CRAZY fast.

Phoenix -- Complimentary hitter for the dragons.  A couple Immolation brings Phoenix pain.  It should be noted here that Immolation generated 7 :fire quanta in this timeframe of use.

Summary: Playing a few matches with this deck it is obviously capable of winning VERY quickly (5 and 6 ttw are very real and 7 ttw is common with even fair draws). However, as I mentioned before fail draws are more likely than with many other decks due to 50% of the deck being zero-cost cards. Also, without PC care must be taken not to send this into a match where Dimensional Shields may be or PC-reliant types like a PDials. When one considers the extra advantage this deck had from a 1:1 ratio of Immolation played to Phoenix one could play it is a strong Death deck that is War legal.
