I posted 6 decks in the EDU. The last 3 decks should be:
ent/death for Kelevra.
Some kind of rainbow or duo deck for Nyma and suicide for Snoweb.
Luckily, we can still convert.
I didn't finish the entire strategy myself, because it is too time consuming.
Also, counters proposed by Sir Valimont are extremely slow in gathering quanta. If it's possible, try to put more pendulums there.

suicide for Snoweb.
Are we really obliged to suicide!?
Anyway I'm glad not to play this time, then ... So much for one of the last two undefeated players.  :))


Here is an exchange of PM with SG:
Hi Scaredgirl,
[...] About war - I won't have any access to a computer starting from the 17 on.
It'll be Xmas holidays for other people too.
What will happen then?
[...]About War and Christmas.. we probably need to take a little break.
More information about that later.
I'm back on the 7th of jan. I hope that I will be in the final blow, then.


I leave for an uncivilized country in a couple of hours (French Alps). Almost no computer available there.
I hope you guys will do great. Good luck everybody.
Have fun and happy Xmass.

After about 16 hours of testing and designing, I believe we have the best possible decks.


Decks that have been tested against all possible opponent decks and have a win ratio of at least 75% include:

Amilir, Sir Valimont, 10men, Nyma.


Decks that have been tested against all possible opponent decks and always win except with a specific opponent deck where they are at worst 50-50 include:

Vagman13, Kurohami.

Kurohami's only risk is that Rastafla takes a flying Stars deck, which Light could create from its salvage. He beats any Nova-Graboid deck with ease. We might still switch his deck with 10men at the last minute; however 10men's deck also beats RoL-Hope which only xdude (10men's opponent) can play because of upgrades. We doubt he will play it twice in a row but it's better safe than sorry.

Vagman's risk is inherent in the way UW's decks are rainbows and therefore always very subject to draws. We found his deck would win most of the time but here and there with bad draws or lucky draws for UW it would fail. It is the only deck that has a better-than-50% chance to beat both of UW's decks. Anything else we tried -- even the ones with Black Hole or Life-Entropy which in design should work -- had bad success rates against one deck or the other.


Zeru's deck has not been tested but the build is designed to kill Air. It looks very reliable but testing will be done today.


For the decks versus Fire: The Bone Wall Poison deck will beat anything Fire plays except the deck Lava Golem played last round -- which they are likely to use against us. The question is against whom. My guess is Lava Golem plays it again. The other deck is a Gravybow on Time. The Purify kills the deck Lava Golem played last time, and the Reverse Times in a good draw actually crush Immo-Rush. It's all about the draw. For a last-ditch anti-Fire deck not wanting to just sacrifice, it's actually very good ... and if Lava Golem uses his same deck from last time like we expect, it will win.

Note: It might seem crazy but if you look at Fire's remaining cards, while they still have great PC with Deflagration, they actually have very limited CC. Like 4 cards between 4 decks.

My deck is critically lacking in entropy quanta, is the mark supposed to be entropy? I generate way too much life quanta as of now.

Yes it's supposed to be Entropy ... your quanta is fine.

No we are not suiciding. And we never will in this War. :)

We will fight for your unblemished name in your absence! Have a wonderful time in the Alps, I am quite jealous.

Too-late prediction of Pervepic's deck.

Code: [Select]
5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5of 5of 5of 5of 5og 5og 5ol 5ol 5pu 5pu 5pu 61q 61q 61q 61q 61q 61q 61u 621 621
Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

Where did Darkness-Entropy come from? I don't remember ... I never thought about it. Ugh. The only deck I didn't test. The remaining deck sitting in our vault would absolutely crush this or his Dim Shield deck. Argh.
