Round 5 - Master decks

[TheCrazyMango]

my first attempt with a fractal/lightning deck
(http://imageplay.net/view/m7Gbd105068/firsttry)
the deck is simple but this is what i got

Code: [Select]

5ul 5ul 5ul 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5ur 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 61q 61q 61q 61q 61q 622 622 622 622 622

My first thoughts:

5og 5ol 5ol 5on 5on 5on 5on 5on 5on 5oo 5oo 5oo 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5up 5up 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606
I'm not sure if the mod below fits our current pendulem count, or if taking out 2 air cards is feasable given our dire straights. I'd be happy keep the 2 shockwaves in if I could compensate with even more pillers/pends.

i believe we have at most 15  cards for each of our R4 decks because we're low on darkness cards as it is
so try to make your deck 15 darkness + 15 others to make room for everyone

i need to know what we have for the 2 rainbow grabs
i believe we can only field 5 grabs each? what about everything else? lightning? shockwave? freeze?

(maybe shockwaves are only enough for the deck but thats ok)

Ok, you guys need to read the first post of this topic. We are stuffed on Darkness cards.
We need to use the stuff in the stock of the vault and then Salvage the rest.

The values listed in the pre-deck layouts can be tweaked only the slightest.

...

Plastiqe, you have gone to 16 darkness cards, this means that Nightmare and/or Black Nymph has to be used. I might be able to squeeze one in my deck. To give you the extra card, but you might end up with a different dark card from the stock.

My first thoughts:

It might be possible, but since Shockwave is better CC than any single darkness card, why?

The layouts cover enough graboids for 6 each of the 2 decks. I worked salvage last time to make sure we had as many as possible.

No Shockwaves this round, only possible option is in the wingshock deck as they come from salvage.

There is 0 Shockwave in rainbows and no spare
There is 1 Lightning in my rainbow, no spare
There is 1 Freeze in Nova-Quake, with 1 spare

updated The list.
2 decks to go.

[kobisjeruk]

if we have another parasite, i can copy your list and switch a lightning with a freeze and the frog with something else for rainbow grab #2

(i even have a black nymph and 3 purple nymph just in case we decide to go a different route for me)

EDIT: Nevermind, 3d told me what's up


er... so im looking at the table on post one, and it says we have 27 darkness cards left, and those need to be assigned to the 2 rainbows and 3D's deck? According to the table, we have 110 darkness cards, and 8 players, which leaves 13.75 per deck? Please someone explain to me what I'm not understanding/missing here?

We have to bite it on one deck.  Kael talks about it here.

We have 110 darkness cards, and 105 used @ 15 per deck x 7. Which is 5 left over. As it is now, Kuro has 19 and Plastiqe has 16, and I have 20! I know I'm currently the low man on the totem pole, so unless we want to throw a bunch of junk into our two novabow's in order to give me a better chance against the underworld master... I'll take the hit.

I was actually thinking about trading the dragons out for drainlife anyway, and going for a deckout strategy, since knowing that underworld will have 30 card decks is our greatest advantage in this round. I wish I had my deck from last round for this! Perhaps with a bit (a lot) of luck I could still help the team and win.

And since I'm being objective in this... although it will probably kill my chances altogether: shouldn't the novabows have some pendulums in it? because as it stands now, I don't believe they will. At least with my giving up the dragons, the EQ one could use them with darkness pillars... actally, maybe I don't have to give up my pendulums after all?

[guy_fawkes]

so this is my deck...

Code: [Select]

4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52q 55q 593 593 593 593 593 593 5i7 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uo 5uq 5us 5us 5uu 5uv 5uv 5uv 5v8 606 606 606 606
don't ask me to break sparrows' asses with this one

i can't go under 4 dark pendulums... or else I'll just play a sacrifical deck too...

please check if it's legal because the vault post is a bit confusing
