So, we could salvage only pends/pillars and go down swinging with our four current decks:

fractaldim shieldfire duoearth duo

Problem there is that we only have the following death hitters remaining: 3 virus, 5 flesh spider, 3 mummy, 7 bone dragons, 6 arsenic, and 6 poison.

We do have a few other salvage options though:

salvage PUssalvage more fractalssalvage a darkness duo w/ 12 darkness cards: devourers, black dragons, vamp daggers, eclipse, stealssalvage antlions for an EQ rush duo with kevkev or MrBlonde (depending on matchups)use our earth pends and time mark and salvage graboids / RT from Terroking's deck

It’s early but I believe we’ll playing 2x Aether, 1x Fire, and 1x UW this round.

Aether still has a good many decks available (for details see the All War 3 Decks thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24394.0.html)) but Fire and UW should be limited to roughly the following decks.  Same disclosure as last round, this is a wildly imperfect exercise but here are the decks we know they have:

Note: UW has been changing their decks up quite a bit and they have more wiggle room than Fire, so take this all with a grain of salt.
It’s early to be choosing decks, but I’d note that Fire doesn’t seem to have bolt decks left.  BWs and cc will serve us well.  The third UW deck screams "pit me against Death", so I'd like to be sure whatever we pick stands a decent chance against it.  I'll have to test more before I formulate an opinion.  I like poison and dimshields in one aether match.  It probably seems a little backwards that I'm concentrating on our non-Aether matches when we really need to take the top dog down a peg, but the vault knowledge we have over Fire and UW really needs to be used to ensure we win the matches we can, imo.
