Would require us picking up an AM for reinforcements. Maybe -1 Warden, +1 EQ, although I don't want to get beat by a rainbow (grabbow)... would also consider squeezing in a 2nd upped BH.
would you consider upping the novas ? especially with entropy mark

Some of these matches are really tricky in the way they need to be played and countered. UW's rainbows are intense. Practice hard!
Inthis matchup i figure UW is going to do 2 things rush, or control rainbow with eternity. after all the immortal is prone to both. a UW type rush would be something a lot like Entropies rainbow novas and cheap creatures, or immo rush. control rainbow would have wings and EQ and possibly random eternity. If we can counter those 2 things we should do well i believe

If you can beat this reliably i would feel much better about matchup especially since last war earth opened with a deathstall, this war purify is very easy to through in places
DarkArk phoned back:Hi sorry for not responding earlier i was fairly busy.
My time zone is -7 GMT USA west coast, i am normally available from 2 pm my time (10 pm yours) till 3 am my time (11 am yours) i realize that these times are probably not the best for you but i am fairly flexible and could probably be on earlier or all of Saturday, just let me know what you think would work and we will go from there
i look forward to our match

Uhhhh.... I need to think hard on this one. I'm still convinced if they ever pull their heads out of their asses/we don't get lucky with RNG that we don't matchup well with Air's decks. It might be time to grabbow them if someone can reassure me not to fear wings.
I'm expecting some PC heavy deck or finally an attempt at wings.

I'm thinking either OE Control or Immorush (-1 explosion +1 Rage Pot). Its a Trap variant probably works too and fits CCC's preferences/style a bit better.
Matrim & Rush6 were seen in spectate testing Disc/EQ vs. basically Omegagrabbow w/ wardens... Earth deck was winning mostly...3-1 Earth

I think we need to counter anything with ample PC. I half expect the phoenix duo they showed last round, although I wouldn't rule out a grabbow if they think they can just flat-out outrush any pulvy deck we use. GnG would have been great, I'll check to see if we can piece it back together.
I expect to see (in this order):
Phoenix duo, Timely GnG, Grabbow, NotP

I would test discogons. Its usually a solid team light killer, although I'm interested to see how it does against majofa's more diverse decks.
Initial testing sheet ready
Discogons seems a very strange choice against the element with sanc... will test. Light has Gravity, Entropy, and UW all this round, much more likely Sanc targets than us. Plus, we've shown a tendency to run Pulvies, which completely negate Sancs. True I suppose, but they definitely have many sancs in vault i would guess, maybe not enough for 4 decks though. Dunno, will try testing.

I'm expecting EQ or trident from them... I would feel comfortable with immorushing them.

Starting to wonder if we can use all of these bows and grabbies this round...
I need to look at their known decks.... I feel pretty good about running a duo here with chargers and pulvy....beware of a fresh stock of lightnings... also beware of EQ/some kind of rush.
Event card: Each team adds 24 Pillars, 18 Creatures, 9 Spells, and 9 permamanents to their Vault. Does not apply to team UW.
"Teams may take any Pillars without any restrictions.
All non-Pillar cards are restricted to a maximum of 3 copies per card." - SG
18 Creatures
3 Grabbies
3 Hematite Golems
3 Sapphire Chargers
3 Iridium Wardens
3 Gnome Riders
3 Voodoo Dolls
9 Spells
1 Nova
2 Shockwaves
3 BB
3 Gpull
9 Perms - Currently
2 Hammers
1 Long Sword
2 Cloak
2 Pulvies
2 fog shield
I dont really know what other perms to take other than shields or weapons, other decent possibilities are
-sundials(death stall addition or possible rainbow poison stall. with wardens and BB)
http://helltgivre.free.fr/elements/?deck=z552oz152qz658oz5595z5596z27q98pk-Sanc we dont really have much synergy with light but it is a usefull card
-Hourglass a counter to eternity in our GnG and draw denial.
-UG kind of a situational card but maybe we have just the situation we do have the stalling power to possibly make this successful
I will have to look at our vault and build some theoretical decks and see how this fits together, but yeah...
Tips for it's a trap:
Don't use all BB at once. BB freezes the opponent's weapon.
Don't play BB unless you have to or your opp can OTK your doll. BB can also be used as CC vs. creatures with momentum if necessary.
Know your opps deck. If it's something that will kill the doll before you can reasonably set up the combo, forget the dolls, PU his strong creatures, and BB his.
Go try playing it against akebono or something for example of what i mean. <-- we don't have PU in our deck. And unless the opponent has no rt, dropping bb on your doll is good (if doll's hp goes over opponent's hp, it is almost win already).
