War 2 Strategy Analysis

[TStar]

I thought it might be easier on everyone if all the decks used against us in War 2 were consolidated into a single thread here.  I'll post each round in a separate post.  This hopefully will help us determine if there is any trend as to what strategy teams were most effective at using against us and what will likely we utilized against us in this war.
