I have the Mind Stone.

Dunno if that means reshuffle or what, considering both mathman and I are stone owners.

• At least 4 players will leave the arena this round.
• If 2 more players gets eliminated that would mean Stone vs. Stone battle(s) in R4. --> It happened!!!
• Zso_Zso, Naii_the_Baf, shockcannon, moehrpi, DANIEELA, Linkcat and immortal feud is out of the event.
• Which means Titan, Golden Nymph, Shard of Patience, Fractal, Hope, Emerald Shield and Devourer is freely usable from next round
• Jen-i is the new owner of the Mind Stone...
• 9 players for next round, another B Y E will happen.
• mathman101, iancudorinmarian and Wyand have both Lives remaining.

[mathman101]

I'm in agreement here with Oa. Shouldnt this get reshuffled to not have stone holder vs stone holder while we have more than 12 players since both me and Oa hold stones(he collected mind stone last round from DANI and I still have soul stone from previous rounds).

- The 6 players who hold infinity stones will not be matched against each other unless necessary (meaning, there are fewer than 12 players remaining). This rule prevents a single player from acquiring a large number of infinity stones early into the event, or from a player losing the event without ever losing an individual match.

[moehrpi]

I agree. iancu needs someone who can really put him to the test.

[Submachine]

A full shuffle might be extreme. When Link joined the last round, only one matchup was shuffled, not all of them.

This issue is solvable by matching math and Oa with a stoneless matchup, AKA one of the following:

• Ginyu vs DANII
• Jen-i vs Naiibaf
• me vs Zso_Zso

Though to solve this problem, at least 4 players need to be shuffled. :/

[RootRanger]

Sorry about that. To minimize overall displacement, I've swapped mathman101 with Jen-i (who was chosen randomly from the valid possible swaps). New matches are mathman101 vs Naii_the_Baf and PlayerOa vs Jen-i. Sending out PMs to those affected.

[2019-09-03 09:46:29] worldwideweb3: Well it’ll have to be a reshuffle
[2019-09-03 09:47:14] worldwideweb3: One of you face Jen one faces nai
[2019-09-03 09:47:17] worldwideweb3: Done

[2019-09-03 10:21:21] Submachine: And the dice says...
[2019-09-03 10:21:25] Submachine: (1d3) 2 = 2
[2019-09-03 10:21:40] Submachine: It will be Jen-i and Naiibaf who will change matchups.

RNG was consistent today. It looks like not just Thanos, but Jen-i is also inevitable. x)

Some very tense games. Unfortunately I left my game notes at work so decks and vague memories will be all you get left with.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Game #1: vs. AM Splash= Win

Deflag Splash

Opened with 2 Damselflies, quickly drew into a 3rd and had and early EE draw. I was reasonably certain I was facing AM so I just sat on my dragons ... I'd drawn the Blitz in my opening hand ... and even though I didn't need it I basically had a perfect draw for the matchup.

Game #2: vs. Nymph Rush= Loss

I again had a great draw and got 2 damsels and a squid out early ... I killed his 1st nymph with a double shockwave and settled in for the wait ... but T-Storm killed all 3 creatures and I spend the next four turns drawing quanta ... never got a chance to recover.

Game #3: vs. Dark Air= Loss

Diss Stall

I was so excited by my draw ... lots of CC (including an Eagle's Eye) and 2 Protect Artifact ... but no air quanta ... over the first 8 turns I generated something like 6 air quanta ... not enough to mount any sort of defense ... add to that I couldn't draw a Diss Shield for the life of me and I just got trampled.

Game #4: vs. Adrenastaves= Win

Sanc Stall

Outside of a fail draw this was going to be an easy game ... and while it took a while to draw an EE I got 3 early Sanctuary which slowed his progress to an utter crawl.

Game #5: vs. AM Splash= Win

Got a reflective shield in my opening hand ... held on to it for a very long while letting him waste quanta on producing Gases. Got lucky with a turn two flying Eagle's Eye that took a long while for him to kill ... and drew into enough other CC to keep his creatures deadish ... eventually drew into a miracle for the win.

This will certainly win unless he draws a lot of damsels combined with the lone EE, right? And that won't happen, riiiight? Oh well. Props to Jen for putting up a deck hard to counter.

Called the possibility of another stall replay... but didn't have the guts to run the 50 card stall I planned to, since it would lose to so many other of his decks...

And with that Jen-i is in my view among the clear favorites for taking the trophy. Good games!

Had a good draw, but still just a bit too slow, Sub had a massive shard golem and kept buffing it with SoW.
I threw 1 titan and the last turn I could have thrown a 2nd but he had 38hp left and 1 thrown titan damages 34 only.

He had too many deflags to make my dims useless, and his damage was faster than mine.

GGs and good luck to the remaining players!
