The Deck Trainers (unofficial indirect PvP event)

[theelkspeaks]

Zawadx's match I thought was a swinger to be honest, I wasn't really thinking of which one would win, just a wait and see. So their match, in my opinion for my statement, was null void for either side of the disagreement. I've seen what great deck ideas Torriku can have but he needs greater deck improvement, while www is the exact opposite imo. He has good deck building skills but little adventuring, which is excusable because of no new cards in a while. Torriku will be honing his skills every second, while www will be waiting for new cards like the lot of us. Torriku Vs WWW was an interesting match, and I would bet on www for his experience if it had to be a real pvp event, but I thought torriku would win here. My good to honest guess is that Torriku, because of little knowledge how the ai plays (and thus ARTH would play his decks as bad as possible if the strategical hint wasn't there) just didn't give enough in his strategical hints that led WWW to win. 

Good match ups

Uh, CR, you do realize this event's format is a lot like Leagues, where WWW is currently a mile ahead in BL, right?

I only judge active players who didnt just do 20 games, but were within 10 games of the winner. Torriku did how many games? 1 IIRC. Heh. I'd hope someone who got top 10 in BL would be a mile ahead. Not a good judging system, and for me its just a matter of opinion anyway.

I can't believe I beat Odin  Can't wait to see what Baccardi used to counter Branden. Hopefully it doesn't counter me as well.

Also, +rep ARTH!

You're bow rush strategies are pretty potent. It ended up outrushing my oty / pulvy deck hard... and apparently the trainer didn't know how to use pulvies

I'm kinda sad I didn't get to see the rage angel deck I had go up, but if your 3rd deck was a rusher as well, it (my deck) would have likely got toasted hard.

I actually didn't think about bow rushes at all when I built these. I was figuring people would go with lots of nymphs (so I would have time to build up)... Should have gone with my disco-holes deck in hind sight.

Anyway, good job!

[CrockettRocket]

No. No you shouldn't have gone with your disco hole deck. That's extremely unoriginal, annoying, and boring now for a stupidly long amount of time. I put up one old deck idea, but I put a big twist on it. I took a deck that can be played mono, and changed it to a rainbow deck as one of my decks. You should've put disco hole up probably if you wanted to win... but for the good heart of this competition, don't announce counters. Some people/most probably wont be changing their decks.

Hmmm, and I'm 3rd from last in BL. *starts rocking in corner*

And CR, Arth won't play the decks as bad as possible without strategic hints. He'd just not know any discrete tricks and tips.

[CrockettRocket]

Hrm... well against my nuro deck he played my opponents deck using all cards asap. I thought you said 3rd, but I didnt remember the "from last" part. So to be safe, I tried to say top 10 xD.

[OdinVanguard]

No. No you shouldn't have gone with your disco hole deck. That's extremely unoriginal, annoying, and boring now for a stupidly long amount of time.

Which is why I didn't submit it even though it tends to be very effective for pvp in general (not just as a counter).
I could have gone with any of the other cheesy grind decks too (like phase shield spam) but decided not to for the same reasons

[CrockettRocket]

If this became an actual event, and I lost because of stuff like that here I wouldnt join the offical tourny that gives icon.

This.

I played all cards asap because it was a race against time.

I do enjoy my rainbows Apparently not too rushy for some of your decks though :p I hope they weren't too boring for Arth to play   

[ARTHANASIOS]

Time to send your Round 2 decks is up.
Time to simulate the games and calculate their results.
Please be patient (and by patient, I mean you have to wait a couple of days).

[worldwideweb3]

When can we expect Round 2 results?
