Hmmm I suck at meta-ing. Fitting.
kirchj33 2 - 3 9270984
Game 1: WIN
Mono Entropy vs. Adrenagrabbow
I opened with a discord followed by a Maxwell's, he countered by playing a nova then a nova. I got an abomb out and another Maxwell's, he got a grab out while discord still messed with his quanta some. I was able to play another abomb and a dragon and he was never able to recover.
Game 2: WIN
Firestall vs. Ghosts n' Stuff
Counterdecked. I really couldn't imagine him using anything that was a good counter to firestall so I broke it out. Probably too early it seemed....
Game 3: LOSS
Grabbow vs. Arctic Infectionish
At this point in time it seemed every deck he had remaining was ready for some sort of grabby/phoenix deck. Probably should have won this anyways, but I totally faildrew on quanta.
Game 4: LOSS
RT/Disco vs. Pandebonium
He draws 3 pends + his lone discord. It put me wayyyy behind from the start.
Game 5: LOSS
Backwards Firestall vs. Bonebolt
Again, I knew he was ready for heavy creature-based decks, so I tried to mod my shitty first round meta firestall. I even knew he was gonna run this deck over devtals, but felt pressured into making a quick decision with with everything that was going on at my house. I think it was probably the right-ish call, but topdecking 5 poisons and an arsen is going to win more often than not. One turn away from the win, he dominates me.
gg's numbers. Congrats.

« on: September 24, 2011, 08:48:19 pm »Not quite so obvious since I made this mistake once already. I r WoE noob. It's good for kev to point this out so others don't make the same mistake.Incidentally I think the recommended actions for the day are in the wrong order and thus illegal.i think they were meant as in general and not in that order.. obviously capture first than move.. or just move.. or do w/e else you want.

Farming Studies and Statistics / Re: FG Efficiency Study - Applying statistics to all of the myths
« on: September 23, 2011, 08:00:37 pm »...stuff5 secs/skip is perfectly reasonable.
I would not even consider putting any of the decks with less than 500 games through your machine. As this threshold is reached, more decks can be added.
20 or 25% seems reasonable. I would play with it a little if I was you and see how it turns out. I think a percentage-based number is the best way to compare decks uniformly as this creates a nice broad smoothing effect. Once the standard is established, decks such as Fast-Draw Ghostal can easily be entered in to quickly output results and add to the study.

Just a few notes,
The stats have now all been updated through the STATMASTA Realtec engine which produces more accurate stats based upon real card-spin rates(except for Voodoo Panic - HG1&O mod). These have been updated as Jangoo recently delivered them to me. We could really use 500 total games worth of Fast-Draw Ghostal data since it is the current "champion". That, along with any untested decks, should be highest priority right now for testers.
We are all looking forward to the skip data which will come shortly!
Edit: All decks now added with Realtec stats and quantified in order of performance.

kirchj33 3 - 0 Terroking
RNG was on my side in these semis.
Match 1: WIN
Reversograbby vs. Blessed Dunescorp/Miracle Stall
Ripped this deck straight from kevkev's dog pit deck vs. me. Then I realized I needed to switch up the mark/quanta production a bit if I was gonna follow my battle plan. Turn 1 vamp and the RT's were pretty win, but ultimately it came down to Terro not being able to build up enough light quanta.
Match 2: WIN
Stall Faster! vs. Diss Shield/EQ stall
Terro's connection dropped in the middle of the first game, we replayed a day later and he was late to draw a diss shield. Enough that I was able to bolt over the top of his shield to take down his remaining 26 health with 5 cards left in my deck.
Match 3: WIN
Grabbow vs. Discord/EQ
I was kind of expecting this deck from him for some reason. He had about the worst draw possible, with a ton of pillars, a discord (which was inconsequential other than for damage) and a couple of grabbies that had CC waiting for them by the time they could evolve. He kept me entertained by EQing his own stack towards the end.
Thanks for the games Terro! You played very well throughout the event and you were a worthy opponent as always.
