Round 2 - Deckbuilding

[PhantomFox]

I'm thinking of using an stall against Zeru.  I'm gonna need a bunch of Quints since he'll be packing antimatters.  I expect he thinks I'm going to be running Blessed Otyughs, and that deck failed miserably against an antimatter deck last time.

For smiley, a darkness deck with steal could work against Dim Shields. That's my plan atm anyway

[PhantomFox]

First instincts suggestions:
I'm assuming the boycott will pass unanimously. 

918273645 vs Essence (Master)
Water has so many synergies, it's hard to tell which they'll pick.  Whatever they pick, they'll probably bring some Congeals and an Permafrost Shield.  Use Momentum to bypass the shield, or Adrenaline to make it go by faster.  Using them both together is possible, but not as effective.

smiley56 vs Boingo
Discord/Black Hole.  They won't go with Aether stall, so I'm betting fractal-something.  Mindgate is a possibility too.  A lot of Aether cards are high cost, so Discord might work well here.

Indrejue vs. Korugar
I'm not sure about this one.  Should we try a Wings deck again?  Or Flying Titans?

Jumbalumba vs. Lokiburn4
I have a feeling they will try / , but don't quote me on that.  I doubt they'll run gargoyles, as that'll fall right into Grav shield.  Voodoo dolls are also unlikely because of momentum.  We don't have many perms, so I'm expecting a quanta denial instead.  What's our lowest quanta cost deck?

Napalm Grenade vs. hrmmm
I don't think they'll try a fractal deck twice in a row against us.  Perhaps a mutation deck or a rush.  Neurotoxin will work best in case of a rush.  I wish we had some good AOE spells cards like Rain of Fire or Plague.

cebra vs. Terroking (Master)
See the other battle

GirlsGeneration (Master)vs. QuantumT (Lieutenant)
Not sure.  I think they'll go heavy on the CC, so a firemaster deck here?  Don't quote me.

Phantomfox vs. Zeru (Master)
I'm scared to death of antimatter, mutations, or Paradox, so I'd like to go

Memorystick vs. Lava Golem
Not sure here either.  I'm tempted to do Armagios and Flying Titans to outlast any firestall they try.

[GG]

We got owned in about four games last round with our COUNTER decks.

This round, let's think of counter-counter decks as well.

For example,

In our perspective, wouldn't use dim shields since we have momentum. However, already keeps that in mind and makes some duo rush deck. However, we keep that in mind and make an anti-rush deck. @_@

I think he would use water-air-death. Air for pufferfish,water for Chrysoara and death for poision.

Puffers (the upped verion of toadfish) do not require - they inflict poison upon hitting, just like arsenic

Also, poison* chrysaora* >_>'

Ah, you are right. Also, poision=typo. Chrysaora= Senor CantSpell and I was too lazy to look it up.

Zomg... I know I wasn't high when I said that... and I wasn't drunk... so wtf was I??? I must have been sleep-typing... x]

Dim Shields vs Momentum... *tactical facepalm*


Sorry for my stupidity D:

Now then. I'm gonna post some general strategy stuff in the strategy post. I think this thread needs to be strictly limited to posting decks.

[Indrejue]

i can do either wings or flying titans just need to get to 6 titans only got 4first though only got 4 or i could also fly some owl eyes as well if we have in vault.  i am not picky.  only problem is they might want to do a quantum lock down deck on me or the other person fighting earth and flying titan deck is kind of heavy on the quantum use.

[smiley56]

So here's what I have come up with.

Code: [Select]

4vl 4vl 4vl 4vl 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55l 55l 55l 55l 55l 55l 55m 55m 55m 55m 55m 55p 55p 55v 55v 55v 55v 55v 55v 568 576 576 576
Discord/BH for huge health gain.  Also, should slow down aether.

Gravity shield to stop aether dragons.  Any damage done by spiders or any other creature should be handled by BH gain.

I put in armagios and made the deck a little big in case they are packing lightnings and can insta-kill my chargers.  If they kill all my chargers, I can hopefully stall to deckout

I put in 3 pillars so that I can have a chance to get discord out 3rd turn.  It is kinda a low-ish chance, but I don't see the pillars hurting anything.

Gravity nymph because I can.       and can really help if I am trying to deck them out.

Code: [Select]

55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55l 55l 55l 55l 55l 55l 55q 55q 55r 55r 55r 55r 576 576 576 576 576 5c2 5c2 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7
Looking at either this or the Toxin deck. I'm expecting a Life/Water stall, although a Life/Fire stall is also possible, in which case the Toxin deck is better. I thought I'd just bring this up but it seems like the Toxin Deck would work the best, in that case though, we'd need 4x Chargers to up the damage, rather than the Oty's I think.

Code: [Select]

55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55l 55l 55l 55l 55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 576 576 576 576 576 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt
I honestly think they are going Life/Water. Reasons?

1. Rushing us didn't work. They are now afraid of Oty's.
2. Freeze > Oty
3. Purify > Deathstalker/Poison/Dune Scorpion
4. Forest Spirit quickly gets out of Oty's range.

The other idea I just had was to go Gravity/Earth and go pillar destruction. That could also be devastating.

[PhantomFox]

I kinda want to do a Fractal/Charger deck, but I just know one Discord will scupper that plan.  So I tried to make a decent Quint+Gravity deck, but was having problem.  But now I think that a poison deck might work well against them.  Requesting permission to use the poison/deathstalker deck used last round?  I'm not sure whether they'll anticipate that or not.
