This is the final round of Stage I. Notice that we have 2 "Slain" players from team 3 (:fire and :water). If Team 3 ends up with the most Champions this round and win the stage the player with the best record from those elements will be taking those slots. Napalm would automatically fill up that spot and depending on whether or not RR beats SS will determine if they have a 1 match sudden death playoff.
Good luck all!

Game 1 -
Lost coin toss. Got EQ'd and discorded and just lost badly.
Game 2 -
Won the coin toss, but then my draws simply ran out of juice. Hax shield = hate. CP'd dragon was blocked 5 consecutive times and I just lost.

My decks:
Game 1:
Game 2&3:
Very intense matchup, 14 upps and 7 aides is no joke, and DK had some very interesting decks...
Game one I basically punted... He had an Adrenaline Eagles Eye deck, I put up Bone Wall + OE stopping his rush and tried to control him out from there, however to increase my damage I pulled a Stunt where I flew out a few of my weapons. Unfortunately that left my with too little quanta to stop his sudded OE-Adren offense. Died with multiple OE out and BoneWalls + Shockwave in hand.
Game 2 he had the same deck, but I had a good draw with lots of initial Quanta and I won pretty safely.
Game 3 he had a Fire duo... was worried about UGs, but thankfully none showed up. I always had enough Owl's Eye to replace them when he Deflagged them and I was slowly nibbling his HP away. My biggest concern was that when I was down to 9 cards I still had only one Bone Wall drawn. Then his inevitable Dragon spam ensued, and I topdecked the Bone Wall exactly afterwards. Put it down, killed one dragon, replaced my deflagged OE. Then it was his turn, and I saw him desync. Here's a screenshot from right after the desync:
(http://i.imgur.com/RE8iM.png)
Meanwhile on his side my AI apparently failed to put down the Bone Wall... so Desert Knight thought he won. Was a pretty awkward moment in chat, but after I showed him my screenshot, DK did the honorable thing and forfeited to me.
Thanks for the great games Desert Knight and for being a very nice opponent!

that I had [learned something]. I'll explain that afterwards.
Deck 1: (for round 1 - won and 2 - loss)
I saw this one during a SHUT tournament when playing ji412jo, and realized I should give it a try. Round one was excellent crushing the bone walls with adrenaline - in all honesty I got lucky.
Code: [Select]
5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 7an 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7n5 7n5 7n5 7n5 7n5 7n5but round 2 had a different problem, I had a decent hand but I know 10 men adapted to my deck, his playing style changed and I said to myself... I need to change my deck..Deck 2 (loss)
I'm not the best deck builder, and I have a great tendency to just "steal" ideas. This is your deck 10 men, from Round 5 against The Mormegil just adapted to have 14 upped cards
Code: [Select]
5f6 5f6 5f6 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5og 5og 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7mv 7mv 7mv 7mv 7mv 7mv 7n5 7n5 7n5In the middle of that match I saw one of my sky dragons being taken out and saw his bone wall just grow... horrible feeling. Then I said.. "I have to make it so it looks like I have nothing, then play everything out to take out the last 25 HP... a [Blind attack!] or 1/2 way OTK...With the deflags in my hand I rushed to grab a calculator like the old fool I am and typed out 13+13+7 = 33. If I could bring down the bone wall to 2 ; I'd win. So I waited.. and waited...
The game unfortunately ended in a desynch (that I didn't notice because I was so focused on the bone wall number) and I humbly admitted to the loss.
You see, the AI didn't play the second bone wall and I thought I won (horrible of me) I was cheering and happy in chat like a bumbling fool of a n00b I am.
But the evidence was clear when 10 men showed the screen shot He had another bone wall, I wouldn't have survived.
It was an honor to play against a champion and undisputed king of T50. Your farms helped me reach cards I wouldn't have, and you gave me a lesson on a new technique I can use while playing PvP.
Thank you again!
Excellent games!

Hah, so you did have 14 ups. Your constant downplaying of yourself serves a purpose then.Yes and no. During the match I maybe had 3-5 at any one time.
Besides, I just went and grind-ed for about 2 days straight "just" to get the exact number. In fact :/ I actually before the round I thankfully got the extra 200 electrum from the T50.
Can't really "upplay myself"? or brag I'm "anything". :D don't worry, I'm confused as always. *thumbs up*

It wasn't as if I felt I had any team mates at the time when I was battling, I was too focused on making sure I had 14 upped cards.
My only two thoughts in retrospect was how it would of played if I started from the beginning of the event, and also if I got more advice from other team members from the squad. However, indirectly I have to say thank you so much for the aide!
Either way, the thought of playing against a pro like 10 men was a chance hard to pass up :D.
In the end, you may blame me for the last round loss, good luck to you all and have fun!
To my squad! May we battle again in some other time, and some other place.

Just because your team likes to play the solo act, don't assume all teams are like that. I often PM thoughts or advice to my teammates if I see something they might be able to use, and I've talked decks and strategy in chat with 5 different teammates this round alone. Maybe you should reach out to your squad next time instead of waiting for them to come to you.snipthis actually gave me a thought, budokan is meant to be a team PvP event right? it kinda feels you are alone most of the time.. you don't plan on much as a team, no help with deck building, no advices before matches, no plan on how to maximize the chance to win and as many aides as possible, and so on... it's all kinda... can't find the right war...

Well, I can't say I ever gave or received assistance in the TPvP Event either, but I'd imagine there are several teams who gave that sort of feedback. I also know that this kind of feedback has taken place in private as I've seen a lot of it go on in chat. If there was a secret section set up for this type of thing like in war then this issue would be much less prevalent, but I really don't think the same sense of teamwork exists here as in Drafting events or War.Secret sections were set up prior to Booster Draft to be used for team events. Next time Budo is run the squads will be set up with private forum sections.

Ever heard that I hate the RNG? Well guess what? I HATE the RNG.
Round 1:
Simple match. I Fractaled Scorpions, ran over his Spine Carapace, dealing Poison damage in the process, waited for his army of 4000000000000 Heals to give out and then watched him die quickly. 1-0
Round 2:
He then tries to convince me to replay at a different time because he claims to only have 1 deck prepared. When it appeared that I might have an issue with this, he then decides to go along with it anyway. So, I figured it would pretty much just be a replay of the first match. Unfortunately partway through the duel he then reveals that he replaced the Spine Carapace with Jade Shields. A very deceitful tactic, but effective nonetheless. I conceded the match after failing to place more than 1 Poison counter on him, and I was too annoyed to sit through the rest of the duel waiting to die. 1-1
Round 3:
And here comes the RNG to spit on my face yet again.
I debated whether or not to take Quints over Lightnings, but after the last match I really wasn't trusting anything my opponent was telling me this entire time, so I decided to splash CC for the hell of it. I really hate not taking the Quints... It took me a while to draw a dragon, but I got it out in due time regardless. Then the Pandemoniums came. I wasn't worried at first. After all, what could possibly affect my Dragons? Freeze. Freeze managed to hit me at the exact moments when I did not want it to affect me. My first Dragon was Frozen while a second one played. I don't even remember what happened to the second one except that it didn't last before I could play Mitosis. Then the first gets Afla'd. It dies like normal, I Mitosis the Malignant Cell to prevent it from Infesting my field and then he plays another Afla on it which kills it instantly. After several turns of sitting and waiting for my third Dragon to finally decide to show its face, he's played an Arsenic. So I finally draw my Dragon when I have 9 turns left to kill him in. Pandemonium hits. Yet another Freeze. I couldn't believe it. This one is once again Afla'd and I have no choice but to Lightning it before it spreads too far. I drew my last Dragon 1 turn before decking out. Kudos to you, RNG. 1-2

When he did I cast Pandemonium 2 times. First one PU'd it, second one froze his and sniped my copy. Next turn he plays another dragon, another Pandemonium out. This time it 2-bolted (ice or drain, didn't notice which) his frozen one, G-pull his fresh one and lobotomized my copy. Wow. So I aflatoxin'd his frozen one, killed his fresh dragon via g-pull. My god. Also kept freezing his later dragons and killing them with more aflatoxin, and just shook off the damage with heals.Match: WIN 2-1

Post by: SteppingStone81 on May 19, 2011, 05:02:11 pm
promised myself i would only use this deck once, since i wanted the match to be competitive
fail draw here. RNG tried to give me the win by not letting RR see a purify, but eventually he drew a purify and i had not enough ice bolts left after CC'ing his critters (i only drew an ice shield 2nd to last turn).
very bad draw for me including two dead grav shields in opening hand, but turn 5 drew titan to start chipping away at his health. he had a mind flayer out and chained dim shields + used a bolt to freeze my titan, but eventually i drew a chimera and ice dragon and 3 ice bolts to finish him off (p.s. never saw toadfish ... i hates them).

I was overprepared to meet either fractal golems or dimshield/wings/dragons. I tried to be original at the same time so made a pandestonium stall first match to mass cc and outlast the fractals. Made a gravity shield deck to counter fractal golems afterwards, added some BB's to increase shrieker hp instead.
Match 1: LOSS
Didn't draw a shield at any point during the match. I got lots of quanta and all my BB's and EA's. In the end I couldn;t stall enough, I got of two great SS'es but an early shield or some more of those SS'es really was needed to win here. Lost to the shriekers in the end.
Match 2: LOSS
Tried a combination of quanta starvation and gravity shields to counter golems/dragons. Added loads of BB's but never got one during the entire match. Lack of CC is what killed me. I had alot of SS'es but never really got to use them at good potential since I had to waste them way to early. I got to quanta starve him in the end but it was to little to late as 5 shriekers had already entered the field. Gravity shield was useless without the BB's to support it.
Good games bunny! Grats on the final champion position!

Deck for both matches:
Code: [Select]
58o 58o 58o 590 590 590 590 590 590 595 595 595 5aa 5aa 5t2 5t2 5t2 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61r 61r 61r 61r 78q 78q 7ri 8081st Match: vs. Entropy StallFirst I thought AM's were comming and Japperts comments weren't helping much to change my mind, until I saw the Pandes. Damn u Jappert, for playing mind tricks with me xD
Anyway, Grabos were comming in a tripple and the firepower was out after Pandes and BB's hit it. I continued to double my Shriekers, and Pande hit again. Thanks to the BB's, a bunch of them survived though and got doubled, so in the end there was a bunch of 18 HP Shriekers running him down. Even his 60 HP SS couldn't help much anymore.
2nd Match: vs. Gravity Stall
RNG Pushed me to use the same deck again. I complained but RNG insisted, so I obeyed. Looking back, it was a good decision to yet again follow RNG's suggestion (as it is always) since my choice would have been an air/CC combo, which would have been obliterated.
Early EQ denied a little Aether Quanta, but that wasn't much of a worrie since I had plenty production. I <3 Pillar split =)
Grabos hit the field, were doubled and suddenly all my Pillars were gone. Pulvy just rocks. But since Jappert only drew SS's and no CC, my 5 Shrieker were enough to beat him down fast, so he had to use his SS at ~20 Quanta. It was over by turn 12.
Great games, Jappert, it's always a pleasure having a match with you.
random fun fact:
I recieved 111 electrum, it took 333 second and if I had won one turn earlier, it would have been by turn 11.

Sorry team.
Deck 1:
Upped Oty+Momentum sealed my fate, couldn't draw a Gravity pull.
Deck 2:
Looking back now, upping the EQs over the grabbys woulda been better. I always had 2 quanta, and had to wait an extra turn. Anyways, Jangoo dumps a whole bunch of pillars, pends, and aether pillars. I start crying, knowing its my end as champion. I try to slow him down, and he keeps his charger in hand till a fractal appears. I get overrun, and if he had kept playing that 1 charger instead of being smart, I woulda won.

Jangoo 2 - 0 Onizuka
Being kind of pissed about the event suddenly ending without any real chance for a comeback
after all those matches against Pulvies and Blackholes and about having to play the same old
same old two aides again, this time it was all going to be very blunt and straight:
Round1
Code: [Select]
55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55l 55l 55l 55l 55l 55m 55m 55m 55m 55q 55q 562 562 576 576 576 576 576 576 745 74b 74b 74bPlan: No stupid perma-destruction, no quantum-misery, no blunt critter-spam against me
while my deck is stuck with a bad draw ... no jack this time!
:gravity boasts the likely most effective critter-synergy in the game; then why the hell
not go for a sturdy mono?
-> Worked like a charm: Armagio absorbed dmg from a (very scary!) EPIed merc on Onizukas side,
Oty came out with momentum and the field was locked down ... good thing none of those 4 grav.pulls
showed up.
Round2
Code: [Select]
55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55m 55m 576 576 576 576 576 576 61o 61o 61o 61o 622 622 622 622 745 745 745 745Plan: Blunt, fast, sheer, overwhelming damage that will laugh in the face of "tricky" control-crap:
Loads of towers/pends against pulvies, explosions, devourers, even EQs and rewinds as it turned out to be.
Shields? Safety? Whatever, a couple Armagios will have to do just in case.
-> Worked like a charm again. Onizuka seemed to have a somewhat slow start but EQed my
towers 2 (or 3?) times. By that time I had already benched some 25 :gravity-quanta to unload
a ton of chargers once I finally drew the fractal. Barely made it to counter-pay all those rewinds
coming my way after the fractal though.
Good games Onizuka ... it was quite straining to anticipate your evil choice of decks
no matter how well it all turned out for me in the end.

second game he played a deck really done to counter me with freeze and crysoaraoribgringe who put a lot of poison on me. I plague them and put a mummy and a dragon to try to rush him but he played ton of freeze and cryso (3 of each in fact) and won the game.
third : He played a time deck with RT and mummy : kinda fun ! he got an early arse and Rt his mumy I played a wing and THANKSFULLY I got my recluse !!! so i can web all his scarab and kill him quite easy :) we desynched but I won my game and he lost vs the AI.
Conclusion : upped cards suxx and flesh recluse rules

GAME 1 LOSS
He won the toss. Next turn I played 1 pillar.. he played 2 devourers. Next turn no pillar. Game over.
GAME 2 LOSS
Very close one. I managed to deny most of his quanta, but he got enough to kill me.

kobisjeruk 2 - promwarm 0
GAME 1 :
dont feel like doing anything fancy because this is the last round and all (eventhough i did create a few other decks)
serious business here folks
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd186229/r8g1.png)
promwarm resigned after the second turn. tbh if i were in his shoes, based on my hands and what my opponent would do next time, i would probably quit too. why waste time when you know theres no way for you to come back from something like this? (and yes, based on experience, it is hard to come back from this start)
GAME 2:
and as luck would have it, i had the single pillar draw this game, but i also start first like in the first game so i'm not too worried
that was before he plays a devourer, siphon'ed a devo and stole my only pillar 2 turns later. good thing i started with 3 devo draw and draw another one right after that
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd186228/r8g2.png)
it was VERY close. he gave me the gg on his last turn before the attack, unfortunately RNG <3s me. hax shield to the rescue!
had he stole his own shield back, he probably could've won instead

Game 1
Stall Faster strikes again. I got the 2nd turn Fahren which granted 20 dmg, then pulled out 3 Lances for the final 81. Bonewalls/Phoenixes didn't bother me too much
Game 2
I figured last time I went Stall Faster, then Fractix, so why wouldn't I do it again? But wait... that's what I WANTED him to think! Time to break out "The Poof!"
Fahren got in some early damage again, Impeccably timed UG's kept Phoenixes at bay, and Lances brought home the win.
gg's tttt! Better luck next... uh... well... good luck in the future!
p.s. You were expecting Fractix? Well don't! That way I can use it!

Deck used both games:
~34.61538% LIGHT
Last time, I met a chrissi well-equipped with :aether :air :time aides. This time around, :time had left the list, so it became safe to bring a deckouter, and fear neither Eternity nor PC.
Game 1: Excellent starting hand with Diss Shield, 2 Imp. Miracles, and a handful of Amethyst Pillars. Set up safely, chrissi forfeited honorably halfway through.
Game 2: A single Amethyst Pillar in the starting hand, but the rest had variety (the lone unupped Miracle decided to join the fun!). More Pillars started flowing in, chrissi stayed at three Glories for a good while, and a shieldbreak+Miracle+new shield later, the game was in the bag.
Was extremely worried about RoL/Hope, which would've broken through the Shield with ease, as well as a Dim Shield/UG OTK Stall, which I had no way of getting past save outrushing and Reflective.
Good games.

Actually the wins you are counting are incorrect, as only the "Champions" wins count. If DL wins obviously team 1 moves on. If TII wins that means both teams have 5 champions so i total up the cumulative Champions records.Hope TII wins his match, if that happens I think we go into that overtime stageIf TII wins, Squad 2 moves on, as their record is now 36 wins, and Squad One's is 35. So DL, no pressure.
End Scenario (if TII wins)
Team 1 (20-9) = 68.9%
Team 2 (21-9) = 70.0%
So this truly is a do or die match. Also if anyone notices the :fire bracket only has 7 wins and 7 losses. This is due to me not giving a win or loss to either team 1 or 3 in Round 3 due to deadlyd and tttt making no effort to play during the normal battle period.

Uh, no, the fault is legitimately DevlLoss's, since TII was seen looking for him. According to his profile he has been inactive for the past two days. So unless MrBlonde makes some sort of exception, TII gets the win and Squad Two moves on.looks like we need more time...Maybe I am confused here, but I thought not getting the match done results in neither of you winning.

how about we get rid of DL altogether and just find someone as representative for him for this particular matchFixed, as far as I'm concerned. Why do I say this? Because I have not seen Devil around at all in the past week except to yell at TII on forums that he would be in chat (which he was, for a small amount of time).
dragging everyone down with your ineptitude merit a most dire penalty, no
TII, on the other hand, I have seen pop into chat multiple times, and even if he does only pop in sporadically, he can check history and see if Devil has been around lately (which to my knowledge he hasn't) and proceed to wait for him.
Personally, the choice based on activity seems obvious to me, and if either player actually is avoiding the match, it would seem to be Devil.

I say if they STILL don't get a match completed in the next 24 hours, I believe they should both get a parasite (unless they have proof that one was trying to avoid the other) and subs should complete the match. If it's a double sub, or a sub wins, TFO should go on to the next round.

I know I'm not in this event but I feel that I needed to say this.
I propose this (since this is a PvP event about battling):
Squad #1 & Squad #2 players square off in a 1-vs-1 battle with their opponent of the same element. Best-of-5. Winner advances.
There are no aides, but instead, whichever player has the better record, gets that element for their team as an aide, plus 2 upped cards. This turns out to be exactly 6 for each squad.
Squad #1: :aether :air :darkness :entropy :gravity :water
Squad #2: :death :earth :fire :life :light :time
With this solution, we no longer have to wait for them to fight, it's in our own hands to decide our fate. And if they still refuse to battle, then they can both be eliminated, or coinflipped whatever MrBlonde decides.

To this:This means if both players are deemed equally active then the current Champion retains his title. So unless MrBlonde has new evidence suggesting that DevilLoss was more active than TheIdioticIdiot then it is very clear in the rules what happens. Based on MrBlonde's previous statement about activity levels I am assuming that no such evidence exists. If that is not case, MrBlonde can change the winner to DevilLoss instead.
-If both teams do not make an attempt to play then the rule stands.
-If the Challenger does not make an attempt the Aide becomes the Challenger, Champion stays Champion.
-If the Champion does not make an attempt the Challenger becomes Champion, Aide becomes Challenger.
-If both Champion and Challenger make a legitimate effort I to meet up but can't the Champion will stay Champion and Challenger becomes Aide. This is not set in stone though and i will make a decision upon individual cases.
My understanding is that this results in Squad 2 advancing to Stage II on merit of a better combined record of their Champions. Both Squad 1 and Squad 2 have 5 Champions. Squad 1 Champions combined record is 20-9. Squad 2 Champions combined record is 21-9, assuming TII is given a win for the unplayed match.
Stage II of Budokan will begin within 24 hours.

i think i speak for everyone when i say you're doing fine for your first time as an event host, dont let this discourage you from hosting again
no blame unto your for what transpired here, you're just trying to be diplomatic, but sometimes you need to be a hard ass to get things done ;)
