Grid - Round 8

Round 8 : time's up !

Useful notes

Nothing much to say today... try to include as many informations as you can in your PM, the processing will be easier for me

Event : Holy Cow !

Moooooo ! Grid moo, mooo moo, Holy Cow !Moo ! Relic moo moooooo moo moo ?Mooo. Moo moo Power moo.Moo Power ?Moo moo shiny mooooo mooo ![/list]Sorry, we failed to translate this conversation into English.

Special Rules : Receive 2 Moo Points for every Holy Cow you pick. If you win, gain 5 extra Relics if you picked no Relic slot (only Holy Cows and card slots).

Moo Power is shiny ! The event is pretty simple, for each Cow you pick, you'll receive 2 Moo Points, which you can spend the following way :

1 MP	You can use 2 more upped cards in your decks
2 MP	You gain 1 extra Relic for your win (default use)
4 MP	If you win and if your opponent had (strictly) less MP than you, gain 4 extra Relics

You can use these powers as many times as you want as long as you have enough Moo Points to do so. For example, if you pick 5 Cows, you can use it for 4 MP + 4 MP + 2 MP, or 4 MP + 2 MP + 2 MP + 2 MP, and so on.

Please include in your PM the way you want to spend your points. Without mention (or if there are unused points), they'll be used with the 2 MP Power (in other words, you can consider them as 1x Relic slots).

Here's a reminder of the slot picking and deckbuilding rules :

No 2 picks in the same row or columnNo card slot you picked last round (see the ban list below). If it's now a Relic slot, you can pick itYou can use 3 upped cards in all your decks for each Relic you spendAny size, any mark, any Pillars and PendulumsCards from the slots you have chosen (not necessarily all), any number of copies of themDouble-check your picks : once you sent me valid ones, you can't change them.

Holy cow!

Little warning, due to a matchup that already occured (valuka - kevkev), two matchups have been edited

valuka - kevkev
Seraph - Jocko

The new ones are

valuka - Seraph
kevkev - Jocko

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Seraph]

I'm confused how you "spend" MP
So if I had exactly 10 quanta, could I use ability 5 twice?
I'm really confused about the "spending" aspect of MP

[Onizuka]

If you had 10MP, you could do:
5ability+5ability
2ability+2ability+2ability+2ability+2ability
2ability+1ability+3ability+4ability
etc

[Calindu]

Question:

4 MP	If you win and if your opponent had (strictly) less MP than you, gain 4 extra Relics
5 MP	If your opponent had (strictly) less MP than you, gain 4 extra Relics

Remaining MP-s or total MP-s?

[SteppingStone81]

Special Rules : Receive 2 Moo Points for every Holy Cow you pick, and 5 extra Relics if you picked no Relic slot (only Holy Cows and card slots).

Do you get these 5 extra relics even if you lose?

5 MP	If your opponent had (strictly) less MP than you, gain 4 extra Relics

Similar question here ... you get these 4 extra relics even if you lose (but have strictly more MP than opp)?

Yeah i think.

[Jocko]

Can you spend relics like usual? (not saying its a good idea, just asking).

[Kakerlake]

Cell D5 is named Holy Cow, but the pic shows Plate Armor. Which one is it?
Same question for E2

[Gyrodiot]

Important post

I figured out that some powers... are completely flawed. Nothing can stop you from picking 12 Cows, auto-losing and get a bunch of Relics.

So... I'm gonna extend the round by one day. You can send me new picks (hopefully no matches were played yet).

3 MP and 5 MP powers are removed and can't be used anymore. Also, the 5 Relics bonus only work if you win. Sorry for the inconvenience...

D5 is supposed to be a Holy Cow.
E2 is supposed to be Deja Vu.

EDIT : Opening Post is now fixed. Additional info :

Yes, you can still spend Relics as usual.
If you already sent me picks, you can send me new ones !

My process of thinking went like this: I need to pick 3 only cards... 3 should be enough to have more cows then anyone... wait... can I make a deck with only 2 cards?  WAIT! I don't need to win!! 12 cows, power 5 x 4 = 16 relics, + 5 from all cows + cards = EASY 21 relics!! (I hope no one else realizes this *shifty eyes*)

Good to see this being revamped... sad to see my "loophole" closed.
