ROUND 2 - Decks

[Dogg]

Woah, talking about a challenge... Ok, i expect a protein shake from each and every one of you after i win my match

[Klaymore]

I realize now the deck I've been trying a bit is totally owned by a single Maxwell  so nevermind... 

[QuantumT]

So I just thought of something with respect to team gravity. What do we do if they decide to pull out voodoo doll + gravity pull? It seems like momentum is about the only response we have to this and momentum isn't something we do very well.

For team darkness, we could put a holy light or 2 in the decks facing them, but only half or so of their decks actually used beefy dark cards that would make it worth it. I just don't know when else we're going to use them.

Big creatures is actually a counter to this because the damage that kills the voodoo doll doesn't do damage to you.  Also healing can help counter it if this is the main source of damage (don't play any more creatures than you can out heal).  Also this sort of deck would probably be less than optimal, since it has to be half gravity, it will be hard to use a lot of bassilisk blood to make it really powerful.  Probably the most likely scenario is a gravity/darkness duo with this mixed in as extra damage so I would say the best defense is to power through it with one of the dragon heavy decks to minimize the damage.  Maybe the best counter would be to use the darkness duo that uses dragons and liquid shadow if that is what we expect from them.

My thoughts on each matchup:

2 matchups vs.  :  Having thought about it and looked at lights archives I think blessed Pegasus is a bad idea because they have shown 2 decks with reverse time(although they both lost) and we showed 3 flying weapons decks.  They won with three stall decks so we are likely to see one.  I think fractal spiders for one match and earthquakes in the other.  Both work well against general light strategy and stalls.  The only problem I can foresee is if fractal spiders ends up against their earthquake deck it will probably lose, but this is just 1 deck and it should work well against all others.

2 matchups vs.  : They know we have holy lights and they beat us when we used them.  We could play bone walls again or even firefly hope again with more owl's eyes.  They played several aether duos and twice played a graboid deck with novas.  I would say the bone wall deck is the strongest here and firefly hope is an option but I'm not really sure if there is a better option.

vs.  :  my suggestion above

I will update this with any others later

[Dogg]

I like the fractal spider deck. I also think i would feel much more comfortable using that one over the earthquake one, if it comes to that.

[truddy02]

That sounds good to me.  I would be comfortable running the earthquake deck, if everyone thinks that those two decks would be effective against light.

[Klaymore]

Little question: isn't it really dangerous for my deck to have a fog and 2 discord against  ?
I mean that although they have a clear role, stolen: both of them really hurt this deck and against  especially: I would be really hesitating about playing them and surprised if they are not stolen quickly...
But then again Perv, sticking to your advices really paid on first round so...  This is just a thought I had what do u think?

edit: is it u who edited salvage post round 1 ? cuz there's only the pendulum left now

[pervepic]

Ok, I'll put you another  deck then with 2 Owls. So you can steal back if needed.

Yes, I edited that because there should be info only about converting.

[QuantumT]

I was thinking about that as well pervepic. Maybe another liquid shadow or 2 for the Otys?

Edit: Also, what do you think for glowingice's match against fire?

[pervepic]

Yes, sure. And everybody else too, if you have some thoughts about changeing, please let me know. And I'll make changes later.

Not sure about    though. This sundial-stall is still possible, despite of the fact that they can't use them upped. They probably just will try to outrush us.

[Klaymore]

Ok Perv, last thing concerning my deck: do you think we should add like 3 cards to win deckout in case they go for massive defence again ?
