The discarding will be easy this round.  vs

Salvaging will largely depend on how many players we have playing next round.

Boingo vs edunavas WIN

NOTICE:We are discarding over half of our Aether Pendulums and Aether Pillars.  Please, start thinking of things we can convert into Aether Pendulums and Aether Pillars or else, we will be in some serious trouble when round 6 begins.  Plus, with our number of Aether cards getting smaller, it is becoming harder and harder to make a deck that is 50% aether.  So, to fix this, I think it would be best to continue converting things into Aether Pendulums and Aether Pillars so we can throw those into a deck to get the 50% aether requirement.  Finally, I don't think we should use mono-aether this round because if we lose, thats 30 aether cards we won't get back.

We'll probably have to do "illegal" decks with no aether cards if it comes to that.  It makes sense to make some real decks for matches we are more likely to win, and junk decks for the rest.  We probably should have done it this round, now that I see everyone else doing it. 

[mrpaper]

Well TBH, I think every deck we made had a fair chance of winning except for maybe the last deck we built to play against entropy but it was half filled with gravity cards which we wouldnt be using otherwise anyway so we we're not in a position for that And we got bad luck+ bad choice of kind of decks so It wouldnt have matter much I think to have played suicide decks.  We  might need to build 1 for next round though.  As for not going mono, well it all depends on what we have left.  We are sure to be able to build a few combos but if we have enough cards to do 1 or 2 I don't see the harm there.. that will of course be easier if we decide to go suicide on a deck (likely someone palying firey entropy, a master or lt).  Oh and Boingo did ya convert anything into pillars/pendulums for round 5 ?  if not is it too late?  I made you some suggestions for it already.

[Gocubbies1212]

so should we even bother converting this round?

[mrpaper]

Well for rd 5 if we still can yes, because there wont be much pillars/pendulums left.
As said earlier, we have too much poison, blessings, discords and EA (for wha t I see at least).  It might also make us able to do 1 less suicide deck even if we make a terrible deck instead we might still win if the other go suicide!

thanks...  and yeah, that will be good if we can prevent any suicide decks...  even if we can only prevent one.

[Dragoon1140]

We cannot convert for Round 5, the deck building phase has already passed.

i think he meant round 6 or he was thinking of converting from round 5 

edit: UPDATED

msg me if we dont have enough pillars/pends...  we can still convert some more.

[icecoldbro]

im gonna need 3 blessing for my deck i recomend changing them to remove 2x purify and 1x dusk mantle
EDIT:changing ur post to fit these modifications as we are almost out of time will also edit vault to what it should be after these salvages and converting is finalized by me
