Keep 'em coming, people.
Last round's performance was a bit unexpected for me, because I thought  :earth is more predictable element in general. The fact that generally everybody played nova-grabbies vs us is even more surprising for me(not bc n/g is bad vs us, but because there are elements whose n/g is very clunky). The fact that the bulk of the tems played the same tactic against us and most of them failed, makes even harder to get a grasp on the metagame. It's like we charge into round2 blindly.

Well, i'm pretty sure Wizardcat won't play nova/grabbies vs. me. I expect something with vampires, he is a Lt., so upgraded fractal vampires.

Because the event card makes it tempting for us to go mono-Earth stall, I would guess that torb would send Devtal to us. As a counter I suggest the Immobow again.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

We must beware of monos in all of our battles.

Darkness, I predict, will come with some kind of voodoo deck. I would suggest taking quints, but we have none so it's moot point.

In any case, I highly suggest we not go mono this round. Losing a bunch of earth cards, even if we only lose as few as one, is going to hurt in the future. We should avoid taking advantage of the event card this round for this reason, as well as another:

Most teams will attempt to take advantage of the event card, and go mono. If we go 7-0 this round, we will be able to salvage 42 cards. 90% of which will most likely be off-element cards (compared to a 60-75% without the event card) this will severely bork our vault with off-element cards that we most likely won't use for anything besides converting. And we won't be doing that much converting.

I suggest that we only take advantage of the event card this round if we are confident that we will not face a mono.

I don't think we'll be borked by overwinning :)
At worst, we convert some our winnings to pillars, and we discard some of the others (take/discard same cards).
We have rewinds against voodoo, not as good as a quint, but will do.
We'll also need momentum, or stall/poison.

I think Team :darkness from the war previous would beg to differ.

You want me to use shriekers instead of graboid? Can i afford the 8 :earth /critter?

Why the 3x morning glory in Kake's deck. Those won't kill xn0ize, so they just take up precious light quanta. Even PA would be more useful, (on sactuary if they got discord) or on shield too.

[edit]
Yeah, they will kill any shieldless fools ;)

I am so sorry guys, for some reason I could not access the forums until now. I really apologize. But I am back (well.. I was never gone...)
For my matchup, any solid immo rush could out do the Bbloods before I get enough for a good couple of SS's.

I don't think they will play an immodeck, given that we showed two full lsets of RTs last round.

of course maybe I am wrong. That's why we need detailed feedback from every teammember.
