Shantu 2 - 0 RavingRabbid

Spoiler for Mao rules:

Mao
-Any mark
-Any amount of upgrades
-Minimum 30 cards, maximum 60.
-Honor Rule: You can only play the first and the last card in your hand. These can be first and last in any moment.
-YOU CAN ONLY TALK IN CAPS DURING THE MATCHES
-When we meet to duel, we will give each other a rule we will BOTH follow. No matter how crazy. No rule contradicting the above. The winner's rule will be added to the rules for the next Mao game.
-If rules get too messy, I'll clear the oldest.

Spoiler for bonus rules:

[15:20:20] RavingRabbid [»] Shantu: My rule is: On even turns, you can only play cards that cost even quanta (which makes you able to play pillar on the first turn. 0 cost ftw). This also goes for abilities.
[15:21:32] Shantu [»] RavingRabbid: My rule: Cards that cost 3 or more quanta to play can only be played if you also play a singularity in the same turn.
[15:21:47] RavingRabbid [»] Shantu: This will be fun.
[15:22:06] Shantu [»] RavingRabbid: I can imagine. on odd turns you can play anything, right?
[15:22:18] RavingRabbid [»] Shantu: No.
[15:22:25] RavingRabbid [»] Shantu: On odd turns, odd costing cards.

Raving played a speed poison kind of thing, but he had a crappy hand and couldn't catch up with my poisons and arsenics.

I faced a darkness/death duo. Raving's computer broke down in the end (causing a timeout) but I won with a big advantage.

Good games! May Mao challengers forever be haunted by Singularities!

Had a better start but vag took advantage with BB+2 Wardens, then it deployed creatures while I was stook here with only a Elite Shrieker attacking, got another graboid while he got some Gargoyles. If I were to draw a 3rd PU instead of a 2nd Lightning I had the win.

5 Wings in his deck, and won the toss, no way I could win this unless fail draw, but he had a pretty much perfect draw and I drew only 2 Lightnings with 11 cards left(IIRC).

His early Discord and EQs really messed me up. I think I only got to play 1 Flying Titan and PU despite a decently long game (16 or 17 turns I think?).

He used the same nice Diss Shield stall with SS and EQs. Totally killed me. This was the game that we had the weird desyncs. But I gave him the win as I don't think I could've won in a redo unless he had a horrible draw.

[blueberrymania]

Upon request by Dragoon, I decided to post the deck I used to pwn him. Btw, the only way he would have won is if I decked out, and considering that he had 10 less cards than me in the second game...

Spoiler for Hidden:

The deck I used both times. I call it Ultimate Stall:

The only reason I used it both times was that I never got to play any dis. shields the first time (leaving Dragoon with the assumption that they were AMs) and I only got to play one Stone Skin the first time. Also, I only played one poison and I never played my Arsenic. This left my deck full of mystery for the second game.

Dragoon played a mono entropy deck, with AMs and Dragons. If I had lightnings, it would have been an easy win. This way, however, I had little chance with the draw I had.

I went with a cheap deck, but it worked well. Dragoon used a steam machine deck. I locked him down fast enough (despite the Rain of Fire he managed to play on some devourers), then he gave up and we moved on to the next game.

I went for a stall here, which was a very bold move and I knew it. Drag played a nymph's tear deck and I had no chance against that. Bad draw didn't help either.

Well I was hoping for luck here, but didn't quite get it. I had a slowish draw, and he outrushed me with a wave of nymphs. He had all kinds of nymphs (entropy, life, water, earth, gravity) and there was little I could do.
Making a working quintet with pendulums only is kind of impossible. When chosing bans I was torn between Trident and Nymph's Tears, but went with Trident. Not sure if I decided right - both cards were dangerous.

GGs Dragoon!

This was my anti-Devtal. Originally I also had some Immos but it seemed like I produced enough quanta with Pends so I took them out. I was wrong. I also should've gone with Water Pends and a Fire mark. Oh well.

I used a banned card here. For some reason, during my deck-making/play-testing, my brain checked out and I started using banned cards.    Sorry about that Shantu.

Quartets are hard to make, especially with Pendulums only and without Novas and Immolations. Balancing creatures and pendulums requires an advanced math degree. So I avoided all that by making my Pendulums the creatures.

Quintets with Pends only are basically like AI1 decks. So yeah, I went with my Nymph deck again. (I don't think this was the exact deck, but it's really close.)

Thanks for playing Shantu. We'll have to do it again sometime!

Fippe94 3 - 2 Shantu

Spoiler for Hidden:

Changing
- Best of 5.
- No rares and upgrades allowed.
- The challenger chooses a number between 1 and 12. Both of us have to use a number of elements equal to this number in our first game.
- If the challenger wins, this number is lowered by 3.
- If the challenged (me) wins, this number is increased by 2.
- In the next game, we have to use a number of elements equal to the new number.
- If the number goes over 12, restart the counting at 1. If it goes below 1, restart at 12. Imagine it as a wheel.
(A quick example: You initially choose 3, we both start playing with trios. You win, so the next game we have to play with rainbows containing all 12 elements.)

Fippe chose 5.

Fippe played a voodoo trap deck. He made an error and couldn't play the combo when it was needed. Not even that would have saved him though thanks to my momentums.

Should have just immorushed my way to victory. Could have maybe won against his adrenastalkers and steals if I had one early nymph's tear. Obviously I did not.

Good games Fippe. Maybe I will have better luck next time.
