When I faced Air, Unit brought Mono-air against me with lots of shockwaves, Wyrms, and Dragons.

Kael went speed poison last time, but I'm not sure if he's going to bring it this time.  I'm not sure what I want to bring myself...

I can expect freezes, so I kinda want to do a mono-grav rush so he can't freeze everything.  But if I lose, I don't want to waste all of our creatures.  I'm kinda stumped here.  I'd like some opinions about this:

Anybody have an idea what light was packing? I'm thinking discord+black hole vs light.

I'm thinking Kael will go speed poison again thinking we ran out of Purifies. Plus they don't really have much options left imo.

Anyways, I encourage you to have a look at all the decks the team of your opponent have used to get an idea of what cards they have and what cards they don't have any more. I'll make a comprehensive list in the respective threads later (before the deadline) and I'll make deck decisions based on that.

Remember that we have lost a lot of Chargers which is terrible.

Against icybraker we will use the counter we established earlier, with flying titans and gravity pull. If he plays Reverse time then good for him. Also he could fractal pests which might stop us as well although that would require luck on his part.

Edit: Please check out the topic for your respective opponent's element

Oh goodness, I didn't realize we had lost that many chargers.  Um... edit my deck to whatever you think is best.  I'm not sure what will counter best.

I'd like some examples of decks (and alternatives too if you can) first before making my final decision.

I personally don't know what I'll play against Terroking. Earth has all the options available still and a Earth Time combo of earthquake and reverse time really is difficult to counter even if I don't go with pillars because reverse time means the creatures you used your Nova or Immolation to play cannot be played again....

I'll go with a deck that we can feel comfortable losing with.

Code: [Select]
55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55s 55s 55s 55t 55t 55t 55t 55t 55t 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5li 5li 746 746 746 746 746 746
Maybe add 1 more titan for more certainty of titan...not sure
I'm relying on him not having any healing and for me to draw an early enough Titan to slowly whittle him down while I try to stay alive. The size of the deck also works to deck him out if possible.... I use Elite Armagio because they can kill his Shriekers in 2 hits plus the extra tanking is not too shabby either. Light and Miracle serve more as a distraction to Earthquake than anything but it does come in handy if I need it. I would really prefer to use Light mark but I know we are running short on Gravity pillars actually so we need to conserve. (we only have 50 pillars between the 6 of us)...

What I'm afraid of is Steel Golems. 6/9 is too good.... I'm not sure he'll use it though because everybody knows about my excellent use of Graviton Guard/Mercenary which would kill his creatures too easily so he should go with creature control with Basilisk Blood which is just fine with Armagios. Reverse Time is also likely but not as much.
Their poison stall option might be nasty too although it'll be a battle between Titan and Arsenic which isn't too bad.

I'd be fine with just throwing my game as well and I encourage anybody who is up against a master or someone from an element we cannot really handle to considering throwing it as well (to conserve our important cards for better opportunities).

This is what I've come up to counter light. It should be able to win unless dude decides to go with flying stars.

I was also thinking of stalling with Armagios and basilisk bloods, but it looks like the armagios are being used.

Just some ideas

We really have to use our other cards so I think Smokefree should go with Aether stall.

jmdt to go with flying titans with the first game as a sort of tester where you play normally. If he goes PU then you won't fly your titan in the 2nd game onwards. If he goes reverse time then take some care with flying titans as well. Fly them when you are going to win.
The deck posted earlier had 11 gravity pillars but we don't need that many. We only need 8. So we can add 1 Flying weapon, 1 Fog Shield and 1 Gravity Pull.

I think xdude will win unfortunately with either earthquakes, fire or flying morning star and pegasus. So I would consider throwing the match. They know we have dimensional shields so he'll probably try to counter it with earthquakes or fire with deflagration.

PhantomFox should go with Otyugh + titans + freeze + purify and novas with chaos seed, poison and lightning, momentum, reverse time. With Gravity mark to save on gravity pillars. This would need only 5 Gravity pillars.

That leaves chargers and otyugh to Baily18 to get past thorn carapace and also eat his creatures up. If they use quintessence then we can't really do anything about it. I think they'll try to counter Aether stall anyway so it should be alright.
