Vault Analysis - Round 7

:firebig 42 cards remaining


At this point, it is almost silly to do a vault analysis of them due to the fact that they lost both matches last round.  What I will simply do instead is to post the two decks that lost and we can craft around that.  What is key is to determine if we think we can bring a strong enough deck to beat them out of hand and if we're uncertain, then we need to concentrate on other matchups where we feel better about our odds.

Napalm's deck (lost vs. :time):
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f7 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5gi 5gi 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2 8po


Antagon's deck (lost vs. :entropy):
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4t4 4t4 4vh 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fb 5fb 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5og 61q 7dr 7dr 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7k6 7k6 7k6 7k6 8pq


General thoughts:
Napalm was saying in chat that if they lose both they're pretty much screwed, and looking at what decks they lost with, I'm inclined to agree.  Obviously, it is very difficult to determine what else they would have in their vault, but only being able to save 4 cards from Antagon's deck puts them in a bad way as the Immos become almost useless.  The most likely scenario in my mind is a bow of some sort featuring MPs, but I don't know if they have the Novas/Immos available to them to pull something like that off.  Barring that, it looks like a mono deck to me as they can discard all quanta from Napalm's deck and not be hurting too much since they can convert as much as they could possibly need.
