Round 1 decks

[catalyzeme]

I think I'm gonna go Poison Bolt. Yes, fractal/devourers would kill it, but I doubt they have more than 1 of that deck, and of all the elements, fire makes the least sense to play it against, since everyone knows we will have 4 cremation based decks. Gonna be a tough battle. Not sure what upgraded cards he will bring. Hopefully I don't run into his 3 upgraded cards and can pull an upset. I think Poison Bolt is the best bet. Rain of Fires could be useful against a Fractal deck.

Code: [Select]

52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52q 52q 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f5 5f6 5f6 5f8 5f8
No edits, I don't think. If no one else wants Poison Bolt, you are welcome to add it to the original post.

first I add decks
1, on a 'first come, first served' basis
2, based on the tactics thread.

Just to have something we can work with. Of course, if somebody feels he has a dire need for your chosen deck then we'll come up with something.

First draft of my deck:

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5lc 5lc 5lc 5lc
I'll decide final version a bit later

I'll be using the aforementioned dialbolt:

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f7 5lg 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9

I think my dragons deck pack too few creatures, if siphon lifes kill them I'll have a limited amount of dragons left... I might decide to change to bolts, since darkness knows we have fragile creatures, then they'll have strong CC. Phoenixes might actually be a good idea, who knows...

[Stinnger]

I will go with the nova/grabby deck.  If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.

Code: [Select]

4vh 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52q 590 590 590 590 590 5c1 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f3 5f3 5f6 5f6 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5og

If you look at the top-right portion of your post, the "Modify" button will allow you to edit your post

We have less than 48 hours until the duel phase starts. We need to get these decks finished ASAP, so that we (or just Hyroen?) have time to cross-check everything with the Vault to make 100% sure everything is legal.

I'll be using the aforementioned dialbolt:

[Acsabi44]

Hey everybody, sorry abouot the slight delay. I said 24hrs two days ago, butyesterday was so busy for me I had not the time to edit the decklists.

But now I did so, based on your replies in this topic.
The ones who did not post here were Hyroen, jmdt and brett. We were testing the  deck with Hyroen and I know that he wants to play it so I added it to his deck choice. And I know brett is away so we chose his deck for him. (I added suddenkiller)
jmdt, if you are reading this, I chose the ImmoPhoenix deck for you; please post or PM me about the 3 cards you want to play upped.

I cross-checked the current decks with the vault, and all of them seems legal. (please someone else check it too, as my calculations may not be correct.TY)
We have the following left in the vault:

 
Aether Pillar: 13
Spark: 9
Lightning: 1
Parralel Universe: 1
Dimshield: 2
Fractal: 4
Aether pend: 1

 
Fog Shield: 2
Wings: 4

 
Vampire Siletto: 1

 
Arsenic: 1

 
Basilisk Blood: 1

 

 
Burning Pillar: 24
Crimson Dragon: 10
Firebolt: 6
Firs Shield: 2
Deflagration: 7
Rain of Fire: 1
Immolation: 18
Lava Golem: 5
Rage Potion: 8
Phoenix: 16
Fire Pendulum: 9
Farenheit: 3
Mark: 2

 
 

 
Reflective Shield: 2
Photon: 9

 
Reverse Time: 3

 
Freeze: 2

OTHER
Hammer: 1



So happy tweaking, everyone. I start and I take 2Phoenixes and swap them with 2Crimson Dragons
so that leaves us:

Crimson Dragon: 12
Phoenix: 14

in the vault. (please, if any of you tweak their deck, post the modifications here so we always know what's in exactly in the vault. Also, everytime you change something, I have to change the first post in this topic bc only what's in there is legal).

We have 1 day 5 hours 12 minutes left at the time of posting.
I will lock the first post 4 hours before the deadline, so no deck modification will be possible beyond that. If somebody needs extra time, you can find me on chat.

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc
Let's hope darkness doesn't expect us to use a full out rush deck, I switched holy lights to rage pots to get rid of other creatures, Darkness is slowish in a mono, but can be deadly in duos. They'll probably expect deflags so they won't bother in relying on they're perms too much... (Dusk Mantle) Let's just hope thats the case... This is a small risk we'll probably have to take. We'll be able to dish out some damage before darkness can set up much, Kuro could well use a speedbow but I think this deck might be able to take out the creatures with rage pots.

What I plan to do:
Put out phoenixes to get rid of any CC
Kill stuff with Rage pots
Put out drags and stall with rage pots.

Any suggestions/comments?

Edit: Deck partly inspired by SG's Lazy Fire AI3 grinder deck (the one with just ruby drags and ash eaters)

Thanks for the reminder, cat.  My tweaked deck:

Code: [Select]

4so 4so 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f7 5lg 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9All: make sure that you fully test the tweaks you're making.  As I'd said earlier in this thread the decision is ultimately yours to make.  But each card was put in a deck for a specific purpose, so just be sure each card you replace adds to the deck's effectiveness.

Acs, the point of your deck is to summon 10-cost creatures for only 7 quanta.  Each phoenix you cast or PU lowers damage output by 5, which is difficult to justify in a rush deck.  I'm not saying it's wrong; I'm just saying we better make sure it's right.

Lava, if you're going to go with that version please EQ proof it.  Changes from the original Dragons deck to what you posted above are: -3 fahrenheit, -2 pillars, +4 ragepot, +1 phoenix.  I worry that you're now underpillared.  The lack of deflags doesn't bother me for the reason you gave.  Kuro hates deflags and might deckbuild accordingly.  As for the tweaks you made, I personally liked the Holy Light and original versions better.  I'm not saying your tweaks are wrong; I'm just saying we better make sure they're right.

On that note I'll be available a bit this morning and all afternoon to PVP Duel.
