Round 8 - Test Decks

Terroking vs Glitch

I'm pretty much expecting a 35 card deck from life out of deck-out paranoia.  They've tried everything else against us and failed and they have the card buffer available to try in this round.

Here's a few decks to be ready to face:

I'm looking at their salvages and there's no real way to improve their entropy option from that.  They could add a fourth discord or a few entropy pendulums, but it wouldn't make a whole lot of difference.  Flying weapon is a possible addition here, but I don't really think it makes it stronger.
Discord Antimatter deck:

Here's the upgraded fire deck with the extra 2 deflags thrown in.  I think it's likely they take at least 35 cards vs us now that they're so wary of being decked out.  It also gives them time to build their firebolts vs our potential stoneskin.
Fire Stall:

Fractal deck:
They don't have more than 2 dim shields max:
They have many options for the fractal.

3-4 cockatrice, 2-3 horned frog, 4 emerald dragons, 0-2 forest scorp, the only thing that makes dragons appealing is the hp vs our thorn carapace3 heal, 0-1 empathic bond, 0-3 adrenaline0-3 lightning0-2 dim shield

They prefer 30 card fractal decks, but they might go up to 35 if they're paranoid enough about us decking them out again.  For their way of deckbuilding, 4 fractals in a healing based deck like this is light.

Take this with a grain of salt, it's just there to give an idea, it could be altered any of the above ways easily.

Life has some novas and graboids they could try to salvage, but the rest of their vault sucks for making rainbows.  If they do that, they'll just put it in storage this round.  I think it's much more likely they try to bolster existing decks.  Salvaging deflags for their fire deck is something they will deeply desire.  There is also a strong possibility the 4 cards we don't know are all fractals.  They definitely had a stack of them last round they didn't use.  Even if they converted part of them, they may have a few left.

As for the cards they save from their losses, it'll be creatures, a set of adrenalines, or 1 empathic bond.  The off-element stuff is useless to them in 1-2 card increments so they'll pitch that in favor of on element cards.

We can take as big of a deck as we need, if we win, we win, if we lose, we're out anyway <_<
