Round 2 Results

[truddy02]

I had 3 relics, gained 8, my total should be 11.  Looks like you forgot to add in my previous relics into my total.

Game 1: (vs Armagio/Acceleration/Chimera)  WIN
I got some quick damage out and Wings forced him to play Chimera before he wanted to. My creatures were able to kill it before it did too much damage.

Game 2: (vs Armagio/Acceleration/Chimera)  WIN
I thought for sure he'd play Steals, but it looked like he went with the same deck. I started with 1 Death Pendulum, drawing into 3 Bone Pillars to start the game. My Flesh Recluses were just too fast.

Game 3: (vs Parasite/Minor Vampire/Mummy)  WIN
I didn't know what to expect for game 3, and when I saw a / duo, I got a little worried, especially when a Parasite hit the board. He never drew any Steals (if he played them), but I had more Perms than he could probably handle, so I put them down and rushed to victory.

Game 1:
I went mono gravity, only drew one armagio, wings forced me to chimera, armagio died, then i did. Those spiders were too fast.Game 2:
Same thing, slightly smaller deck. I had a better starting hand, but then he played like 4 spiders so i was forced to chimera to live. Bone dragon seals the deal.Game 3:
Knowing my mono gravity wouldn't work, i swapped to the remaining cards i had. I lost anyways, the deck sucked. Then majofa pointed out that i was using illegal cards, Gyro confirmed it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. (Btw: I didn't play any chimera this one )Slot picks:

A7	Chimera
B3	Relic
C1	Relic x 3
D6	Relic x 3
E11	Minor Vampire
F10	Acceleration
G2	Relic
H12	Parasite
I5	Armagio
J8	Vulture
K4	Solar Shield
L9	Mummy

Damn it, I forgot my target cells. Will edit later if gyro tells me. And yep, Minor Vamp and Mummy were banned for me, i accidentally broke the rules. And yeah, Relics are from element Electrum. Prettiest battle results post evah.

[Gyrodiot]

@truddy02 : Fixed, thanks

Jocko's picks were invalid indeed, but I take the responsibility for not spotting it. Jocko should have forfeited but, as I validated the picks, there won't be any forfeit... as he lost.

If Jocko had won, thing would have been way more complicated... so I promise that I won't miss invalid picks again :p

[Jocko]

And i promise not to pick invalid picks

RR played a nasty deathstalker-armagio-plague deck, which I outrushed.  He easily could have won a couple games with better draws, but my gravity pulls helped slow his poisons.  All the games were closer than I would have liked.  If I had tried to go for a 45 card stall, I would have gotten slaughtered.

I never saw my steals, so I'm really glad I wasted a chance at 3 relics to have steals in my deck.

[RavingRabbid]

I can't get back my deck.

I confirm what Stepping said.

Game 1: Steam Machines rolled me

Game 2: He used the same deck, but he had a slow start

Game 3: He used a pharaoh deck, and eternity came pretty early which shut me down

Game 4: Again, an early Eternity shut me down

I'm a bit ticked because after I reread the rules, I realized that the other deck I used could not be used (because I had no relics). The first deck is arguable but without a doubt the second deck coinich used would've had a tougher time with the second deck. It would've definitely been shrugged off if he edited the rules before I sent the edited picks, but I'm frustrated because I sent it 4 hours beforehand

coinich 3 - TheForbiddenOracle 1

Good games all.  His deck surprised me; I suspected a Wings deck with the Air mark but was pleasantly surprised.  His dragons gave me a run for my money.  I spent 2 Relics; hopefully I made up for them with the match bonus; all my decks were 35 cards.  My picks were:

1A - Pharaoh
6B - Relic
8C - Relic
12D - Precognition
7E - Purify
10F - Acceleration
5G - Relic
9H - Ash Eater
2I - Immolation
11J - Eternity
3K - Relic
4L - Ice Shield

I forgot what I targeted, but oh well, Gyro has the record.

Round 1:  Summarized as "Freeze the opponent, you goddamned Perma Shield!"  It was shortly followed by Perma freezing almost his entire offense after letting them through for a few turns.   I slowed him to a crawl when I was around 30hp, and my Steam Machines took over from there.

Round 2:  Close to the first.  Perma was a bit slow to freeze and he played too many Dragons to keep up with.  He outrushed me by about a turn.  TFO had to go, so I got lunch during this time and plotted my revenge.  Steam Machines was a good deck, but Perma wasn't quite cooperating.

Round 3:  During lunch I tested Plan B, and found it won each and every match.  I tweaked it up to 35 cards for the bonus and played a Pharaoh/Eternity deck.  It hurt him badly, as I Rewound enough to both freeze his draw and then eat the rest of his offense.  With him completely stalled, albeit at a high hp cost, I surged ahead for the win.

Round 4:  Same decks, same matchup.  I got a Pharaoh out first, unlike testing, but I hadn't drawn an Eternity and felt it wouldn't hurt.  His draw seemed limited as well, with Precogs keeping me informed of what few creatures showed up.  I Precog'd and topdecked until I got an Eternity, and it was game over then.  He didn't have a chance, though I always rewound one creature to keep him from drawing any others.  Wasn't a pretty victory, but it was a victory.

My two decks:

Spent 2 Relics, gained 6 Relics, one Relic leftover.  Total: 7 Relics.

I had a few upgrade choices here.  Permas were mandatory; they would slaughter small critter decks and stall anything larger I hoped.  Sadly it didn't work as well as I had hoped.  I upped the Steam Machines at the last minute, thinking that he might bring hard CC; it wasn't necessary though.  Upping the Fire cards or pillars could've worked well too.  Immolation helped me get that last every once in a while as well.

This was originally a 30 card deck to outrush what I needed, but I took the risk and added another Pharaoh and 4 Pends for the bonus.  I upped the Precogs because I usually drew Pillars with them; the cost balanced out whereas otherwise the Precogs would drain too much.  Eternities would have been another option.  Pharaohs didn't add that much when I upgraded; simply an immunity to Titanium Shield that I could bypass rather easily with Acceleration or simply Devouring other Scarabs.  This deck also opted as an anti-stall with the Eternities.

Hey Gyro, I had 3 Relics from Round 1.  I picked 4 Relics, not 3.  I spent 2 Relics.  I gained 2 Relics from the bonus.  3+4-2+2=7.

[Gyrodiot]

Fixed, thanks

EDIT : This changed the least number (etc.) ! All forfeit winners gain 4 Relics instead of 3 !
