Salvage:

Skydaemon: 5 earthquake, 1 dusk mantle.
- going forward, earthquake is one of the most powerful cards we can have.  If the opponent is not packing immos or novas, earthquakes will completely dominate them.  For the 5th card, we have the choice of BB or mantle.  since we have 6 devs and 3 steals in the vault, grabbing a dusk mantle makes sense here.
lokiburn4: 1 stilletto, 4 BB, 1 dusk mantle
- Stilettos are great splash cards.  BB are good multipurpose cards.  this will give a 2nd dusk mantle for a potential future darkness duo.
hrmmm: 2 fog, 2 owl's eye, 2 shockwave.
- fog shield is a great fit in any of our rainbow decks.  Since we already have an air duo, picking up OE and shockwave makes sense
10 men: 3 discord, 3 lycanthrope
- The 3 cards of use to us are discord, lycan and steal.  Discord is a game changer so I say we take it.  We have a few steals, so I say we go with lycans to add to our rainbow decks.
Demagog - 6 nova
- novas are the backbone of rainbow deck.  We should take this opportunity to grab 6 of them.  Graboids would be nice, but novas are where its at.
Discard:

majofa - 11 burning pillars, 6 firebolt, 1 deflagration, 1 farenheight, 5 freeze.
-keep 2 farenheight and 4 pillars.we're down to 2 farenheight, so we must keep some somewhere. 
hyroen - 9 burning pillar, 4 fire pendulum, 3 crimson dragon, 3 deflagration, 5 reverse time.
-keep 4 phoenix, 2 pillar.  Phoenix are our most important attacker.
Acsabi - 7 fire pillar, 3 aether pillar, 2 aether pendulum, 6 dim shield, 4 fire bolts, 1 nova, 1 farenheight
- keep 2 firebolt, 1 reflector, 3 fire pillars. we need the reflector and 2 bolts to keep 2 working bolt decks.
Convert:

4 precognition, 8 aether pillar to 12 fire pillar.
-We will never use those precogs now and quite frankly we have more aether pillars than we have decks.
Please give opinions on these suggestions.

We need to figure this out megafast so we'll know what to work with regarding round 5 decks.

discard:
majofa: 6 bolts, 6 freezes, 2FH, a deflag, 9 pillars
hyroen: everything but 3 RT, 3 phoenix.
acsabi: 13 non-fire cards, a farenheit, 3 bolts 7 pillars.

I'd avoid discarding lots of pillars as we already had a hiatus in round 4.

We may not need to salvage that many pillars actually.

We have the ability to field 7 rainbow decks this round (4 immo decks and 3 nova deck) out of 9.  If we go this direction, the net number of needed pillars will actually be pretty low.

I'll have to work on decks as I play with the 6 cards we keep to see which will be most advantageous.

[jmdt]

Cards to keep:

acsabi: 2 firebolt, 1 reflector, 3 fire pillars.

majofa: 2 farenheight, 4 fire pillars

hyroen, 4 phoenix, 2 fire pillars

Opinions?  Fire pillars are becomming scarce so we need to keepas many as we can.  Phoenix are invaluable, we have few farenheight left and need the 2 bolts for 2 full sets to run both poison bolt and dial bolt.

[jmdt]

So how do we deal with the Nilsie match?  Do we ignore it, or salvage 6 cards from it and then discard as penalty?  I assume we ignore the match here, but I wanna make sure to do this right.

I updated the 1st post, but someone please check my math.  Numbers get fuzzy at 6 AM.

As usual, great job jmdt.

I have only one change: I'd like to salvage 4 animates instead of 2 OE and 2 shockwave.  This will allow us to keep the flying arsenic idea alive.

Thanks again.
