[PlayerOa]

Well, the decks for this round really depends on what event card we use. So first we need to choose an event card.

I think we need to keep a Grabbow in our vault. Just one.
If teams find out we're out of Grabbows, they can really hit us hard with Denial. A DiscEQ with 2 explosions and 1 steal, for example, beats everything we have but Grabbow. I feel like the right Grabbow can really work well against Gravity, and it's important to our vault.

I think keeping a grabbow puts us in a tough situation with what we have left in our vault.  Keeping a grabbow means discarding most death cards in the two grabbows that lost.  Even if we take the first event card, that still really hurts us.

[RootRanger]

The first Event card allows us to recover the Death cards we discarded.
We're down to 3 battles. We'll probably be down to 2 next round. Being stuck with 2 copies of the same deck isn't going to get us anywhere.

[ralouf]

As Root said I think that keeping twice the same aether/death duo isn’t a good idea, moreover everyone knows how good grabby decks are. Anyway I like my deck vs aether with those upped poison, that’s just what I wanted to use  we can kill gravy with a grabow IMO.

[Jaymanfu]

There is a decent chance that has wings in there vault and id hate for us to lose another grabby deck to wings, but if you want build me a good model of what you'd like and ill try to rework it all and see if it comes out right

[RootRanger]

We can beat Wings with 2 explosions and an improved steal in our Grabbow. Poisons would help too.

[RootRanger]

Here are the changes I would like to make. I think these overall improve the decks.

These are only small changes, but I think they improve it a little. The new version has just as much creature damage, but it the damage comes out faster and it is more evenly distributed - 2 Dragons will be major CC targets. It adds in a 4th Bonewall while being able to pay for it at the cost of slightly less poison damage.

I dropped a Plague and added a BoneWall. Without a Bonewall, the deck doesn't start as well.
I also switched the upgrades. 1 upped BoneWall helps us sometimes play a Bonewall turn 3, when we also likely have lightning. The Arsenics improve more when upgraded.

Here are the new Discards we need.

jippy's deck:
Everything but 3 Graboids, 2 Explosions, 1 Lycan (for backup next round).

MrBlonde's deck:
Everything but 5 Novas, 1 Forest Spirit.


If we use too many Poisons, we can use some Dragons instead for our Earth deck I guess.

[Jaymanfu]

Well I did all the work and this is the best I could come up with really, its pretty close made it work with only minor changes, though 1 that could cost us a game if they play it right.
