I've GotP Time (1.272 Time-Aether FG Grinder)

[Newbiecake]

Do the win/loss ratio compare with CCYb?

Compare? The win rate is far better than CCYB lol!

[10 men]

Yeah, hehe. Really not comparable to CCYB.

My stats are progressing (a little over 90% of the matches done), but even though I'm grinding like a pervert, I still have met Elidnis only 4 times during my sample. I think if I'm not done by Sunday, I'll just post the results anyway.

To bridge the time, here are two more battle reports against Jezebel. -

In this game, she didn't give me any chance to control her, chaining cloaks from the beginning. However, I did get a fairly good start with my Hourglasses and was able to cascade them on the field quickly even despite of her PC. From there I just made a big GotP Fractal, and as you can see, it got me there (partly due to the fact that she didn't get any Entropy Death or Fire nymphs and only one Earth).

Now this one is a little more interesting...
The math is simple. She has 8 Steals, you have 6 Hourglasses and 3 Eternities. (The last Eternity you obviously want to keep.) You see where this is going, Phase Shields stay untouched. Because her deck is 68 cards, she will deck out after 31 turns, a number which is however reduced by Hourglass and Time Nymph activations of hers. Still Phase Shields will only protect you for 18, so you need to do as much work as possible with the SoGs. This winoption requires a lot of thinking and calcutating, but in return you can also win against a stacked board like the one you see in the screenshot (Fractaling GotPs probably wouldn't cut it against twin Purple Nymphs...).

I also had another pretty interesting game against her where I was able to Fractal her Time Nymph. I probably should have won that game, but I bricked trying to find my 3rd Phase Shield with 14 cards left in deck...

I've also beaten Jez twice by TU'ing a time nymph... Man does this deck run with a nymph out, its unbelievable.  Do you think there is a place in this deck for a time nymph?  how about a turquoise?  thoughts?

With some bug fixes and balancing by Zanz, we are now at version 1.272. I've decided to do some more testing with package 4, because I've gotten a lot better at the deck. This time, I'll be including TTW for every single game, followed by a new array of screenshots! First post editted.



-I also added a general strategy for all the False Gods for those who don't want to look at all the guides for the different gods.

Now we're waiting for 10 men's statistics for package 2.

Well, Turquoise defintely not, as Anubis is just better right now. Time Nymph is a little more interesting, as the thought of having an extra Hourglass in the deck is quite appealing. The problem is that at the end of the day, it is still one Hourglass for the price of two (and the fact that it still considerable only shows how awesome Hourglass is in this deck). Another problem is that it is a creature, and the deck normally has the advantage that it basically turns all the opponents CC cards into dead cards. With Time Nymph you would have the problem that you ususally want to have it out fast, without having to wait for Quint, but then it is very likely to die to CC, as the opponent doesn't even have other targets for it.

In other news...
my stats are finished.

Some comments to it:
Winrate 67.6%... that's pretty damn high. I have to say though that I ran pretty well in a lot of those games. For example you shouldn't expect to win 60% against Dream Catcher. I just had a lot of fast Eternities.
Obliterator is highly dependant on whether he draws Pulverizer in the first couple turns, if he does you just lose. So you normally should expect a winrate around 30% against him.
Other matchups that can go that well, but don't have to are Eternal Phoenix, Gemini, Hermes and Rainbow.
On the other hand I felt like I should have a better chance against Akebono and Graviton. Against Akebono, once you have one Eternity out, the game is pretty much sealed, but I had multiple games where all of them were in the bottom 20 or so while he had an overdriven momentumed creature. Against Graviton I was a bit unlucky with my draws and his Explosion topdecks.
I was positively surprised how the Osiris matchup played out. I expected to lose a bunch of games to his catapults, but even when he had his catapult-scarab engine going, I was still able to race him with a Fractal GotP OHK. GotP really shines here.
If you have any specific questions regarding the matchups feel free to ask them here.

PS:

- shortest ttw so far: 10 turns
- highest ttw so far: 53 turns  (A cookie if you can guess the opponents for those two games )

On the other hand, Time Nymph does have precog, which is worth more than simply drawing a card.... Just another thing to consider.  9 defense also makes her able to survive a bunch of cc...

Lowest ttw had to be someone with no PC, CC or healing, My guess is paradox (who didnt draw a miracle) or Gemini.
Highest ttw had to be a big healer.  My first guess would be fire queen, where you sorta managed to control the fireflies but not completely.  Second and third guesses are ferox and elidnis

Nice guesses, but I bet the lowest ttw was divine glory and the highest was chaos lord.

or maybe I read 10 men stats table : P

Good Catch

67% is.. incredible. Even around 65 is. I believe any variations of Eternal Concordance never got past 59%, and to see these high numbers again from the days of old Timebows makes me smile with nostalgia.

[big-fat-cow]

there is NO WAY that you are anywhere close to 60% winning on Hermes.
Hermes will rip you apart before u get 2 protected eternity.

This stats is not realistic. You probably got really lucky while trying to log the stats.

It is your first post, man! And you already start to call one of our most credible players a liar?
