Thanks to Toimu:

Event Card:
- 2-0 win enables you to salvage 9 cards
- Substitute can salvage a total of 6 cards
- Other team members substituting salvage 3 cards
- No changes to round discarding rules
Deckbuilding:
Duel phase has started
Teams have to build decks for all players who are fighting during this round. Decks are to be posted on the secret team section. Team Deckbuilder starts the topic, and all team members participate in the planning. Please do not post your decks in public or talk about them in chat.

All decks must be made ready before the timer goes to zero, after which editing deck post is strictly forbidden. Failure to have all the decks ready will lead to a severe card penalty, and/or automatic losses. It is highly recommended that all team members double-check their decks before the duels start.
Duels:
Round has ended
Duel phase starts when deckbuilding ends.

PM your opponent and try to find a time that suits you both. Time Zone Converter (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) might be useful here. If you cannot find a time when you are both are online, please contact ddevans96 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=3167) (Warmaster) immediately. If the match doesn't happen, you both lose by default, unless one of you is clearly more active and/or more flexible.

Duels are "best-of-three", you must use the deck and mark built during the previous phase, and you cannot make any changes to your deck or mark during the round.

ok, so do i make a deck myself or do i use one that the deckbuilder tells me to use?  (my first war.  so remember i dont know anything lol)

You propose a deck, and it gets approved by the deck builder.  One of Boingo's jobs is to count all the cards in everyones proposed decks to see if we have all of those in the vault.  This might be my job... o-well, I'll help no mater who's it is.

I will count the card and Toimu will too--there were plenty of "illegal" decks last war that forfeited "wins" because they didn't have the cards or didn't meet the specifications.  We will NOT lose on account of technicalities--other teams will have to beat us in the matches themselves.

Sorry about any confusion with having 2 threads called "Round 1 Decks" but the job description says I have to be the one to start the thread, so let's use this one, OK?

I would like to say that i disagree with your opinion to go mono aether versus time deck.
First , I don´t think my opponent will play stall deck. Reason ? It is round 1 and they probably don´t have enough cards to do proper stall deck yet.
Other reason not to go mono aether is that even if they go for stall I don´t think that mono aether is capable of dealing with it- without dmg against stall and no permanent control I will  be forced to deckout and probably lose in shame . Also my opponent will almost certainly have some procrastrination or something even worse which will totally destroy any mono aether deck.

The way I see it , i should probably go with aether deck with deflagrations to eliminate dangerous shields and weapons or try some sort of speed poison with immortal creatures.
Now I know some of you think that I should use 30+ cards deck- but the way I see it stall decks can not stop speed poison decks very easily ( and I don´t suspect they will use purify) .
So I already posted 2 decks I believe would be the best for me ( with some tweaking ofc ), but in the end it is up to you  :

Code: [Select]

You should choose what you think it will be the best for our team, and I will try to do my best to win with it.

Thanks for the input.  I like your deflag/aether deck and I think it makes sense for your situation.  If they go , expect a gravity shield or 2 to eliminate our dragons.  They could go with momentum scarab deck (pharoah) to avoid our shields, so it may make sense to pack a lobotomizer.  Your thoughts?

[Toimu13]

Bluesky
mrpaper

Maybe try to fit in more Lightnings in-case Bluesky goes Poison.

Tinkady
Gyrodiot

Are Fire Spirits flying creatures?  That would be great vs Wings!  Another possible deck could be Life with Heals and Emerald Shield to counter UG.

catalyzeme
Acsabi44

Could a Poison deck beat ?  That deck seemed to do okay vs in Duels last night.  All that defense kept the Spiders alive threw Fire Shield.  But if they go heavy on CC (hope they don't vs Aether) it would kill that deck.  I see Fire going Fire Shield and RoF (for Fractal) to counter most of our decks.  PU'ing a heavy hitter might work, but is 1 Miracle enough defense vs Fire?  I also think Fire will do damage some how that our Lightnings will have trouble killing.  Maybe Fire Stall or non-fire creatures.

I really should have spent more time thinking of fire counter decks.

Toimu13
Mastermind79

My deck doesn't do much damage.  Some good draws fast could really control the field, but slow off the start and any rush deck will beat it.

I'll make a Spread Sheet (maybe like that Google.doc one) to keep track of this easier.

*Note: That is counting me using the deck, but there are enough cards for me to go .

You and I may trade decks--with recluses at 7/2, you could PU more damage that way

Fire has the best anti-Fractal card in the game: Rain of Fire.  With Pests being 0|4, including Fractal, they can take a hit and, likely, prevent another RoF being played.

[thraexis11]

I am having a second thougths about this one. I am considering using this one now 

Code: [Select]

592 592 592 592 592 592 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v.
This one would be able to stop graboid rush and  pillar destruction which I am suspecting they might play.Also it could counter perma control. Of course I could be wrong if they decide to play some kind of a stall or something.
The deflag version is probably good vs stall deck but I would get raped versus graboids.
Actually the more I think of it the best deck versus time would probably be poison but it is already taken by someone I think.

These are my thoughts, you make a final decision Boingo- we don´t have much time yet.

[Dragoon1140]

Of course I could be wrong if they decide to play some kind of a stall or something.

I think they will try to out-stall you with a Light/Earth deck.

[thraexis11]

Ok as a duel organizer I would like everyone to confirm they they can and will play their matches in round 1.
I would like to get confirmation from team members that are less active on team aether thread- like mrpaper, tinkady, artagas, gocubies.
Please confirm it before deckbuilding phase ends, I wouldn't like more penalties because we miss a team member or something like that.
Ty!

EDIT : Ok , now i got another idea that I will test tomorrow , going to bed now.

Something like this , I am not sure of number of pillars yet - I will test it tomorrow :
