you can do nothing against dimensional shield without pc/momentum!

I was basically just trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat with this one. Sadly, it was not to be. Forgetting to upgrade 3 cards has no impact though.

Game 3, 4, and 5 - Win

Every single game I started with 1 Fire Pend, 1 Cremation, 1 Pheonix, and 1 Photon. It was pretty outstanding. Moderate speed + ridiculous staying power = Win.

gg's coinich. Not gonna lie. I totally expected to go 0-3. I can honestly say that Phoenixes saved this matchup for me, with a little help from Marisa even.

[coinich]

Good games Napalm.  PU/Phoenix is tough to beat.

First game:  Victory

Code: [Select]

4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52q 52q 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 622 622 622 622
Faster than her Pharaohs.  Simple game, outrushed her.

Second Game:  Victory

Code: [Select]

Outstalled her.  PUs beat her strange Voodoo Pharaoh combination.

Third Game:  Defeat

Oh there's Fractix, but without the Fractal!  What's this?  Parallel Universe?  Ah, I see.  Outrushed.

Sacrificed speed, aimed for control.  I was outrushed so bad it wasn't even funny.  Who the hell let Team G draft Phoenixes anyways!?  Figured Napalm would expect the Scarab deck any minute now; it seemed to be the predictable thing to do.  I instead chose to build a perfect counter instead.  Migh'tve derped myself to defeat.

Threw this together and even got a good draw, as did Napalm.  I felt pretty confident I would win, and Napalm agreed for a while anyways.  I chose not to frequently grow my Fire Eaters because of PU.  Had I been thinking, I would've realized that I had too many Thunderstorms to use, and that Quint would've been perfect in this deck, and I forgot to put it in.  Damn.  Last screenshot says it all.

Voodoo pharoah? What...

[Jappert]

Very nice decks there coin!
Those heavy CC decks with nova and sundials are cool.
Fractal Scarab with Arsenics is equally impressive, not looking forward to meeting you guys...

Grats Nap for the win!

[10 men]

Team H at your service, we have solved all of your problems.
 

[Jappert]

Damn, I only just noticed the entire team H went down round 1....

Team H is beastly though! I'm glad Frenchies and Germans don't get along, allthough Sno might be some weird German speaking exception...

I guess my predictions were wrong.

[Higurashi]

Phoenixes+me, eh? Yeah, that's always been a spiffy combo :>

Games 1, 2 (wins), and 3 (loss)

Deck import code : [Select]

5f7 5f7 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5om 5om 5om 5om 5om 5om 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 6rs 6rs 8po

First game I had 3 UGs in my opening hand and drew 2 more pretty quickly. Fahrenheit came late, but didn't make a difference in the game thanks to the plentiful UGs. Game 2 I got an early Fahrenheit, helping me win with just a couple of UGs. I played it again in Game 3, since he had yet to prove that he could beat this deck. Nightmare gave me a hand full of ash, making it easier for him to outrush me.

Game 4 (loss)

Not much of a chance here, as I didn't get my first FFQ until two or three turns before he finished me off.

Game 5 (win)

I should have played this in Game 4, but it got the job done. I was low on quanta most of the game, but an early upped Fahrenheit and the healing/nightmare-protection of the Sancs helped seal it.

Good games, gavsword!

[gavsword]

So close.... sorry team. GO DDEVANS AND NAPALM!!

If I'd used gravity pends and time mark this deck might've actually worked. I drew all time pends and was simply too slow. Of course UTAlan ran like god, it wasn't even close.

Wrong mark buried me here. I was much too slow to the UG onslaught

Modified this deck to beat UG and it worked! Game 4 he played FFQ, but started much too slow.

I felt confident enough that this deck could still beat UG and would be better against FFQ. Didn't count on just drawing 1 pillar in the opening and then having to wait. Still came down to the last turn.

[ddevans96]

Ah, darn. Nice try though Gavs
