True Mortal VS False God (Weekly PvP Event) [6th week]

[yee]

I have to admit, I'm having serious trouble with Yee, even with the obvious 'counter' of Purify staring me down. I'm enjoying the challenge of this week.

Good to hear

Last time I felt my FG was too easy to beat

[Qwandri]

So, I've been doing some experimenting with light rather than Water. Nothing's producing consistent results, it's shockingly difficult to counter a focused poison rush with a mono. None of the decks below are my submission, I just thought it might be fun to post something while I'm still busy testing.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Attempt... Five?

Heavily RNG dependant, won its share of games but they were all luck-based wins rather than seriously contending with the rush.

This is just not applicable on so many levels. Beats the deck though.

[yee]

P-Dials beats it with ease, but its not allowed this time

[Qwandri]

You know, facing off against this deck, I've determined, is so much more about its draws than your own. I've looked at possibilities in something like 7 elements, and nothing has produced very consistent results. Sometimes, all you can do is put your best foot forward...

Welp.

I think this one went about 6 and 2 in testing. RNG love, baby. This deck needs no play hints.

[yee]

I tryed some decks and come up with one that went 6-0 on trainer

Allthough I admit that half of those games were very close calls.

[Qwandri]

Yeah, I had one that went on about a 7 win streak, but then lost about 4 or 5 in a row to multiple 12 damage scorpions. The deck is damn fickle.

[ARTHANASIOS]

Well guys, you can't completely remove RNG from EtG anyways. Even with the best counter in the world you still need to draw your cards in a proper order and amount. Just use the deck you think it is going to work best.
Also, about that Crusader deck, do you forget you can also use Other cards (*cough*Longsword*cough*)?

[Qwandri]

Heh, I didn't, but the idea was mostly a gimmick anyways, I decided afterward that the huge amount of risk involved in gambling on drawing one of two or three cards wasn't worth it if everything did two less damage than I initially expected.

For anyone interested, the basic thing was to deckout the opponent, 6 Steals for Fahrenheits, 6 Drain Lifes and 6 LS for 6 NT. His hand gets too clogged with CC and healing cards, even as I try to play creatures to bait out those cards.

Going with this:

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 80a 80a 80a 80d 80d 80d 80d 80d 80d 80e 80e 80h 80h 80h 80h 80j 80j 80j 80j 80j 80j 80s 80s 80s 80s 8pq

Strategy:
Early game try to pull off two things, and prioritize the former:
a) Mindgate, protected by Dim Shield because AI targets Shield ---> Mindgate
b) Quinted Aether Nymph

Lightning all the opponents's Nymphs if you can. Else Lobo them.

Mindgates to pour open FG deck onto your hand. At this point, you perhaps could get some Explosions for his Fahrenheits, and Lances/Rage Elixirs should cover the remaining CC, and Sancs/Miracle cover for healing. In general, avoid playing Hourglasses, except maybe one or two as hourglasses are targetted over mindgates for explosions

Once you're able to get a NT out, first get a Water Nymph, and Quint it. ASAP. Thereafter get a Light Nymph or two if you can, else Red Nymph. Quint ALL the Nymphs, barring times when the opponent's hand seems clogged, in that case pull off a non-quinted Nymph occassionally for bait for CC fodder.
After that, keep building Golden Nymphs, rage em for 13|3 and quint. Or NT the quantum towers if ya feeling lucky.

Thereafter, just churn out the Nymphs, stall as necessary, if ya can't outrush him and his Miracles, go for the deckout.

All this, if the RNG favours you

[Qwandri]

...Guys?

[ARTHANASIOS]

...Guys?

I've done the simulations, but I am working at a few RL issues as well as Man Vs Machine revival, so you should await the results either later today or tommorow morning.

[Zawadx]

Suspense, suspense...
