Beat the Highscore! #2

[Marsu]

In if I can still join, looks fun.

You can! This challenge will be open at least until it reaches 20 challengers.

Done with some tests at uni, so I'm available for challengers again. Find me in chat.

[Pella]

Pella 2:1 Poseidon ... I wasn't really sure whether my counter would work.  I guess it did, sort of.
Pella 2:1 Voodoo Rituals ... Perfect counter!  Lost duel #2 b/c RNG hates me and decided not to give me any quanta.
Pella 2:1 Discxrd ... I thought I knew what to do.  As it turned out, I had absolutely no idea what to expect.  In the first duel, I sat there and played 5 cards the entire time, discarding one thing after another from my hand while you summarily relieved me of my HP.  In #2, I got super lucky with tons of quanta early.  In #3, I still don't know what the hell happened.  Slow quanta, discarding my own cards, and somehow pulled a rabbit out of my arse.
Pella 2:1 Graviton Squad ... Won #1 handily.  Once my secret was out, you played your cards differently.  Barely squeaked out #3.
Pella 2:0 Seige ... Hard counters are fun.  Well, for the one playing them, anyway....
Pella 2:0 Golem ... Reference ^^
Pella 2:1 Scorpion Pit ... Good counter.  With a slightly different build, I might have taken it 2:0.
Pella 2:0 Sanctuary in Flames ... I honestly had no idea that deck would counter so well.  Wow, have I beaten 8 decks already???
Pella 2:0 Necromancer ... Your deck was not what I expected.  My counter worked (better than expected), anyway.
Pella 2:0 Hazardous Industrialization ... I guessed completely wrong on your core cards.  However, guessing your support cards led me to build a deck that worked.  No human is more surprised than I am that I actually defeated all ten decks, even if I lost a few duels along the way.  Wow.  Just, wow.

I got some pretty nice topdecking after some pretty bad opening hands, but marsu's first opening hand was even worse, so I think luck was on my side; not sure how this matchup would've played out with even rng.

Another one bites the dust...

Poseidon 2 - 0 rem4life

GGs rem! Was great fun playing with you again.

So I managed to beat all 10 decks with 2-0, I think I had 2-3 close calls but rest were sure counters.
I'll show how I did it after everything is done.

gratz Calin and am interested in how what decks you used as well.

Seems Marsu BTH #2 wasn't as hard to work out the counters 

[Marsu]

Mh, I thought about that myself, but I don't think so.
It is either the fact that participants are trying harder, or that they have an informational advantage because I posted the decks from BtH #1, or a combination of the two.
Anyway, if I ever create BtH #3, I will make it a bit harder. Maybe increase ups to 3/6, but I also have a different idea already. Let's see. :-)

Problem is, your decks this time were easily deciphered by their names. With the exception of Hazardous Industrilization, most of the rest are easily guessed; I mean, who can't understand in general what Scorpion Pit or Poseidon is about?
Look at your deck names in the first one; assault from above & assault from below, trassylvania, forest of white magic etc. are much more original and fun to discover.

Atom_heart 2 - Siege 1

Fun matches! I guess they were a bit too close... i'm going to regret that loss on the next round 

Great job Marsu, + rep
