Our remaining cards are:

death rush cards4 stealsearth duo cards

We can also salvage (possibly wings/OE), but the other two decks seem better to me:

earth stallmono death (+ steals?)

More, we probably just need to figure out where to place each deck.  Then, test test test!

[xn0ize]

i think aether will go double counter on the earth stall again , devtal and outdeck ,it's really matter where we place what

[Marvaddin]

If UW gets its salvage, in fact we are going to play vs Aether and UW. Hope they do it, and Fire can play vs Aether.

[MrBlonde]

If UW gets its salvage, in fact we are going to play vs Aether and UW. Hope they do it, and Fire can play vs Aether.

hrmmmm that does present a problem i think. UW has a pretty decent grabbow...


EDIT: actually we won't play them. UW will still only have to play 1 deck. So 2 from us and 3 from UW,Fire, Entropy with Fire still getting the bye.

[SteppingStone81]

The event card may actually not change people's decks too much except for UW.  Adding 12 different cards to vaults will just increase card totals but not really add strategies for the non-UW teams.  This does allow us to salvage cards from our win last round (we could grab 5 wings and 1 OE, then use event card to add another OE and a flying weapon for example).

Here are my recommendations for the 12 different cards:

Flesh SpiderMummyBone DragonSkull ShieldBone WallArsenicPlaguePoisonEarth pendulumTitanium ShieldOwl's EyeFlying Weapon

The last two can be changed if we decide to salvage something different (or nothing at all).

[SteppingStone81]

One possibility for this round is to use the event card to fatten our earth stall up to 44 (or 42) cards:

upgrading whatever makes sense, maybe plagues, EQs, bone walls...

The other deck could be a death rush with steals:

Remaining in vault:

1 x flesh spider1 x bone dragon1 x poison2 x Owl's eye5 x wings

Problem here obviously is that a loss with the rush kills us.

As for placement of decks, I like the earth stall with MrBlonde because upgrades benefit him more and will probably expect the rush or fractal spiders with MrBlonde again.

EA for the earth stall , nuff' said.

[SteppingStone81]

EA for the earth stall , nuff' said.

good idea, but 1 copy only kinda sucks :-)

[MrBlonde]

one copy of EA is meh BUT it could mean winning or losing too. Also lets beef the Earth stall to 44. What makes this matchup interesting is that we have one game vs ups and one not. So meta wise it seems that the non upped one would not use pestal. So for higs deck it likely would be pestal but i fear fractix as well. I know the rush works better vs fractal but with our beefed up earth deck i am thinking i would be better off with the deck.

We also need to worry about the grabbow but i have a feeling they might use that vs UW or Entropy.

Edit: i do find Avenger amusing though. I think he doesn't realize that all the decks we can make have all beat aether already.

[xn0ize]

fast EA + fast diamond shield = bye fractux and pestul

[SteppingStone81]

Likely aether decks for Round 12:
Gen.

fractixpestalupped grabowpoison & lightning

Unupped

devtalgrabowpoison & lightning

other possibilities:

Aether could use event card to grab eternity - eternity + purify beats our earth stall

We should test our various decks against these options.
