Decks

[Malduk]

Well, I play Corrum again.  The question is, will he go pillarless like he has for his first two matches?  If he does, I figured a counter; Reverse Time.  We have 5, and if I use all 5 on his Phoenixes, I can remove them for a long time until his mark can restock enough to replay them.  The rest of the deck is built to stall; Sundials and Bone Walls will hold off the worst of it, and with hopefully his limited number of creatures, I can stave off defeat long enough to have my Mummies and Poisons kill him good.

They'll pack Purify. You wont get much from that Poison. I'd rather take +1 pillar and +2 plagues instead of those 4 poisons. You'd have 31 cards with some creature control with plagues, and their creatures are low HP anyway.

Thats a can-do.  The larger reason I had Poisons was so they would work through the Sundials.

Nope, didn't work.  I need an unupgraded Arsenic to really pull this off.

Hmmm... well here's a big thing too. Currently we only have 6 bonewalls and if you use 4 that doesn't leave really any for others (and i plan to use 2 in my deck).  I may change this though and add 2 more bonewalls into the vault for 2 bonepillars. Look in the Salvage thread for cards i saved. Also i added this deck to the Round 3 thread although i'm sure we will change it.

I being so lucky i get to fight Xdude in a Masters battle. So here is the deck i created and purposely salvaged cards from life to make a stall/deckout deck. Basically i afla any flying weapon or creature, emerald shield to protect against bolts, bonds to heal me. Also i can afla his creatures as well if i choose. Me losing to Entropy when i shouldn't have really hurt us. Anyhow the only deck i'm really scared of is a fractal deck with dragons. I really think it will just be a stall with icebolts again though.

I tried to make a deck that would win and would hurt the vault the least amount by making 40 cards. The cards that will hurt will be the 10 bone pillars, 2 bone walls and 6 animates (but these are mainly for me anyways). Also if we lose the 6 animates losing 6 arsenics won't be that big of a deal. Also since this is 40 cards i will get to pick and choose 10 cards i can save if i lose.

Also some other suggestions for other matchups.

Theo (air) - entropy/discord deck
Mastermind (darkness/Master opponent) - mono death with plagues + bonewall
Malduk (aether/Master opponent) - poison with darkness/dusk+steals

Coinich (fire) - no idea right now
UFCfan (water) - no idea right now


UFCfan - today i was pretty confused. If you saw Skyguy's post you would have been too. ScaredGirl deleted the thread but basically he posted that you never showed up for your match and he was waiting around for you and wanted to find a sub so Aether didn't get penalized. So basically he made it seem like you were absent. That is why i went to the chat shortly after he posted it to try to substitute for you.

I have the whole chat history saved that SG read. It is pretty clear that skyguy is full of crap, and everyone who was on chat at the time agreed with it.

Anyway, we need to organize a fight with . They use fractal devourer/vampire deck.

Well i talked with ScaredGirl and anyone of us can fight and if we win we can still salvage cards. If you're on tomorrow before i am and find an aether player to fight by all means please do. The faster the better since we need to know the cards we will have.

I shouldn't have taken out that extra plague for this deck.

I just played that match with Union. Its not the plague, never managed to play it anyway. Its some way to prevent healing - aka shields.
Fractal devourer/vampire deck is really hard to beat, and I'm playing again in round 3.

Well here's the bad news.... We only have 44 pillars in the vault.... So we need to make a decision. Do we suicide one of our decks and make the other 5 stronger? And if so who? Theo and UFC face air and water who are severely depleted and look to be matchups we want. So lets look at all the other matchups.

Mrblonde vs Xdude (light/master) - i think my deck has a very good chance as long as he uses a stall deck. If he uses blessed pegasi or fractal i may be in trouble. Problem is this takes 10 pillars.

Coinich vs Corum (fire) - as of yet we don't really have a deck for this since the sundial/rewind deck doesn't seem to work.

Mastermind vs Miniwally (darkness/master) - Plagues will be necessary here and my mono death with plagues/bonewalls worked fairly well. Of course they will change it up here so who knows and i did use 13 bone pillars in my matchup.

Malduk vs IcyBraker (aether/master) - Aether is also severely depleted but did just manage to beat us and we face a master. BUT if we use an entropy deck with discord/antimatter those vampires won't be that big of a deal especially if we get out an early discord.

Anyhow leave your input and lets try to figure out the best course of action.

[Malduk]

I say we try to make all decks without looking at pillar limitations, and then just ditch the one we feel has lowest chance of winning.
It sucks that we're playing against 3 masters though. Btw, I know for sure that is able to build only 5 legal decks. Icy will probably play, but we should check out other elements too to see if there's anyone thats not able to make all decks or at least all "decent" decks.

I thought my Death/Time deck worked quite well, despite the lack of Bone Walls in the vault.

Ahhh, i thought you said it didn't work without upped arsenic. As long as he doesn't have deflags to blow up your sundials it could work.

[MrBlonde]

Perfect, Team Wateris now out of the competition so i guess we get a buy and don't have to worry about making a suicide deck now. We are still a little short on pillars though but at least it is manageable now.
