Round 6 discussion

[dragonsdemesne]

I definitely had good RNG in our matchup, it was probably actually pretty close to 50/50 matchup.  The amber nymphs were MVPs for sure, I got them in 3/4 opening hands and on about turn 5-6 in the other game, and they kept him from doing pretty much anything darkness related after they started draining, like steals or buffing lycans once I got them out.  I'd counted on entropy not bring any CC for them, and I was right   Mind you, I was expecting something like monoentropy or DBH or maybe PU dragons, though, but it worked out anyway for us.

He also totally screwed up in game 4; I had stolen a pillar and pend because I had steals without any other targets, since my ambers were keeping him from being able to play a dagger to steal, and he couldn't steal my stiletto, and for some reason he nightmared a lycanthrope a few turns after that, so I proceeded to start playing and buffing lycans, lol.  I'd probably won that game anyway, but instead of wrecking him due to his screwup, it would probably have been down to a 1 turn lead in the end or so.  He would have had to either nightmare my charger (bad) or my nymph (mildly bad, wouldn't have had quanta to do a lot) or else his abomination (mildly bad, probably could have only played 1-2 total) or else just not play it (meaning he couldn't play it for 6-7 cards or whatever to heal/damage and I would get another draw) so I don't think he had a chance that game anyway.

LOL - indeed.  Awesome building this round Dragon and grats on making the decks that went for a perfect round!

Regardless of what happens in future rounds, it's been a real pleasure to work with you this war.

So about that salvage:

Those lycans could fit in well with the discords we have.  Maybe: 4 lycans and 1 vamp dagger (to have 3 total), and 1 nightmare (to have 3 total).  Or we take 3 lycans and two nightmares?  I guess it depends who we face next round.

This one seems decidedly less tasty given what we have in the vault:

Maybe convert to 3 in-element cards?  Seems ballsy given our vault size, but it could open up other possibilities.

In terms of surprise, we still have a fire duo that might come in handy next round depending on who we might face.

ENTROPY salvage:  I was actually thinking of taking some dragons and abominations, to give our DBH a bit more punch.  The lycans I think are actually the worst pick, as they'd require a trio to run, and we have only 3 novas and no other pendulums to run them off of.  The darkness cards are quite tempting at first glance, but we already have several copies of all of those.  I'm leaning towards the 2 dragons and 4 abominations for DBH as a result.

TIME salvage: Honestly, this stuff's pretty much useless to us, given our current vault.  We sadly can't do anything useful with the hourglasses, and the dials are just about as useless.   The death cards don't really work too well for us, either; without any other death cards in the vault, I think that a gravity/death duo would be pretty bad with just poisons/arsenics.  I think we should just take 6 death cards (whatever, it doesn't really matter) and do conversions into 3 gravity cards.  I'm still pushing for a gravity shield or two, and I'd like to get a couple otyughs as well.  Perhaps convert the death cards into 3, and then 2 abominations into another, and keep the other entropy cards for DBH?  (or keep 4 aboms 0 dragons if we think the quanta balance for DBH works better that way; I'm not sure which, but the 6hp upped dragon looks tempting vs lightning)
