typewith.me went down after the match, so I had to remake my decks. They're probably not exact but they're very close.

Game 1: Dolleration (Loss)

First game in testing, I drew zero dolls. Second game in testing, I drew zero accels. Actual match, I drew three of each. *facepalm*

I only saw his dragons and darkness mark in this match. To be honest I was actually thinking nightmare.

Game 2: Azure Hope (Win)

Code: [Select]

I get a normal draw, which of course being an FFQ means I still need three turns to get out a queen. He has a horrible quanta draw though, so I have hope (no puntended)

Eventually I play one queen and he LS's it, but he still has no pends. I play a second one and start swarming him. Not much he could do here.

Game 3: Starstruck (Loss)

Very risky deck I came up with on the spot. In theory it should be fairly decent against most decks. LS is not most decks D:<

I played four steammies in the game and only one got to use his ability, once. Joy. Even so I got him to ~40 HP.

Game 4: Azure Hope (mod) (Win)

It worked once, so I replaced the star with more dragons, tweaked the quanta, and figured why the hell not. LS is why the hell not D:<

He had a much better draw this game, and he had an LS for each of the first two queens I was able to play. The third one stuck, but his dragons were aiming for my neck. Obai cruel world.

Great match SS, and best of luck with the rest of the event.

First game I brought cloaks and LS to protect against the annoying rewinds in a GotP nightmare deck.  I got a great draw of pillars / pends and dragons + 1 dusk mantle.  Opponent got a weaker draw, so I knew I would be able to outrush accelerating voodoo dolls (didn't see any darkness or gravity CC in ddevans' available grid choices).  I refrained from using LS or cloak this match.

Knowing that accelerating voodoo and GotP-nightmare could coexist in a set of grid choices this round, I expected the boring GotP-nightmare.  I had tested against GotP-nightmare with ~75-80% win rate, so I was confident.  But then I saw a mark and I was like  .  I got a 1 pillar, 0 pend draw, so it wouldn't have mattered what he was playing, but he played a nice FFQ / azure dragon / hope deck.  I LS'd one FFQ, but with no pendula, I was quickly overwhelmed.

ddevans tried a Steam Machine / lobo deck this round, but I had removed the cloaks from my deck, maxed out LS to lobotomize FFQs, and added more pendula to ensure the quanta to play the LS.  The LS handled his first four steam machines, and though he deflagged my dusk mantle, I eventually got the quanta to beat him down with azure dragons.

I went with the same deck as Game 3, expecting to play against FFQ / azure dragon / hope once more.  This time, I drew plenty of pendula and was able to LS each FFQ as soon as he played it.  My dusk mantle haxxed pretty hard, and my azure dragons gleefully ripped him limb from limb.   

Best of luck in the rest of this event, ddevans!

I have been advised that 6 relics was max from malignant cells, so I updated my original post to reflect that I only get +10 relics this round

You should get 1 relic from the 4th malignant cell... if I read the rules right.  So you should have gained 11.  Yell at me if this is incorrect.

[majofa]

Be careful : the bonus will only be awarded if you follow the restrictions for all Cells you picks. If you don't, Cells count as 1x Relics.

I believe this is only for Malignant Cells that are next to another pick.

Well, this quote from the rules suggests that Malignant cells are limited to 6 total relics:

Special Rules : If you win, gain 2 Relics for each Malignant Cell in your picks (up to 6 Relics).

On the other hand, this quote suggests that Malignant cells might still count for 1x relic:

The Cell slots will be filled by new cards next round. Be careful : the bonus will only be awarded if you follow the restrictions for all Cells you picks. If you don't, Cells count as 1x Relics.

The rules probably lean towards 6 relics max from Malignant cells (sadface)

[Gyrodiot]

You're right, extra Cells still count for 1 Relic. You'll gain 4 + 2*3 + 1 = 11 Relics for your win.

I'll update stuff in the next 10-15 minutes.
