Other teams' decks discussion

[Newbiecake]

This topic is for discussion of how our decks fared against other teams, as well as any decks or element we have to be wary of.

Decks to fear:
-Stalls decks: We lost once to an Earth/Light stall to  already, and almost a second time to another version from  . Stalls seem to be our weakness. We need to find a way around that. Maybe an Air stall? I thought of flying Arsenics/Bonewalls/Wings, but we lack Arsenics.

That Scarab one was quite ingenious I have to admit; CC plus bypass Wings. Rush decks would cream those decks though.

Working on something else. Will post more later.

I think our poison deck was better than fractal scarabs if they wouldn't have had the PC.  I tested against a more standard scarab deck and won more than I lost.  It still had a chance if I would have drawn more than 1 poison or an arsenic in the first half of my deck.  However, Quinted spiders would have almost definately beaten that deck.  I wish I would have listened when some people were saying I should have taken that instead.  I didn't see time play any phase shield decks so my worries seem to have been unwarranted.  Stalls are something we will probably going to run into a lot because that is a weakness that air has.  However we did pretty well this round winning against 2 stalls and losing to one. 

Reverse time is looking like it is going to be good against some of gravity's decks.  Earth so far has played a lot of stalls.  Deaths decks are very well built and many seem to ignore the fact that they are death (discord/blackhole).  Other comments to come later after I have a chance to look through the decks some more.

This deck crushes healing stalls and we can make it by salvaging 5 PUs from the fire deck we faced:

That light/earth stall is VERY annoying. The battle I won, I won it rushing them. They had to spend their Stone Skins early to avoid being killed, and didn't manage to get to 12 quanta fast enough.

The problem is that with PA'd Titanium out, there is little rushing them. Sky Dragons were the only chance. And we probably won't have them next rounds...

If only we could salvage some Immos and Dragonflies for a rush...

You can forget that. Dragonflies didn't make it in this event. If WE don't have them... nobody else will.

We definitely should be wary of stalls, seeing as they were most of the decks that beat us.  Now the way to beat some of these stalls is either rushing them or piling lots of attack in one turn.  Luckily, we can do both.  We have the grabbybow that I think should be used next round and we can pull out some airborne creatures for a sky blitz deck.  I will try to make a few decks like these.
