Looks like light plans on running 2 decks worth of RoL/Hope.  Good to know.  Also, the time vault reveals 5 wings which is very concerning considering our deck choice vs. them this round.  We will probably want to reconsider this deck choice.

Actually probably not since they used 4 wings in their last deck. They either discard those or lose a huge amount of light cards.

I think you're confusing Time with Light.

I'm not really sure what to do with new info at this point since all of the old info is mostly invalid now.  Just know that Instotosis is really really good.  I'm kind of sad Jangoo never got a chance to publish skipped data while it was still relevant.

What I will probably do is wait some time for 1.29 to settle in, gather all of the new promising decks along with old tweaked ones and then begin a new study after a bit of down time.

If they have a creature heavy deck, go against them with a pandy stall? I'm testing that deck vs. air. Maybe it is good against entropy as well as
Lets hope we won't fight both of them.

I don't think we have any pandies in our vault.  I might have grabbed 2, I'd have to check.  Also, 5 hp creatures are tough to counter with pandy and generally, I wouldn't think strategies for countering air will also apply to those countering entropy.

Typically, any duo is going to get torn up by discord/entropy.  Therefore, our options are limited to a duo which protects (wings/dims), a rainbow, a mono, or some other deck concept with nova splashed in (perhaps GnG + 4 nova).  You can start working your deck concepts vs. entropy there, but those are some tough limitations we're forced to deal with.  Especially when you consider they have shown they will be active with supporting Disco with Bhole & EQ.

Have you tried EQ's I know they might go for some strange pend split but the deck is based on very high cost creatures + abillities. Can we play discord EQ?

I expect to see AMs for some reason.  I feel it in my gut.  Counters our wings and if its supplemented, it should help counter our grabbows.  They will bring their best decks vs. us because of our 2-0 start.  In fact, we can expect this from most teams now.  No more of being overlooked with a crappy mono time deck.  Those days are over!

CCC tested a mono stall that I would maybe consider.  3 tit shields, 6 wardens, 6 BB, 6 SS.  It almost held up vs. their most damage heavy version of a mono and that was w/o the shields upgraded.

Start thinking about specific matchups vs. specific teams and what would work well.

I am particularly concerned about fire, because well, they're fire.  They have Napalm & Antagon w/ strong deck possibilities.

I believe they expect us to stall when we play them early on.  Napalm keeps calling earth a stall element in chat.  I'd imagine this is partially a mind game, or maybe that is what she truly believes our strength is.  I think we're a pretty good stall element, but I don't like our odds with a stall vs. fire if they correctly predict one.  Of the possible decks we can run vs. fire, I am thinking discogons or omegagrabbow.

The other concern I have is entropy.  They're already strong, particularly in a war format, but then when you put Matrim at the helm of masterminding their decks, they will be like entropy on steroids.  They've shown 2 grabbows so far.  Both which have a dishole mechanic, one with a discoEQ built in.  We've already shown our one deck which counters both of these, wings.  Matrim will obviously be aware of this.  I believe they will come at us this round with a mono.  4-5 dragons are expected to help counter wings.  Possibly some Maxwell's to help with any grabbow we could bring, but I fully expect ~2 AMs.  I believe neither our grabbow as its currently designed or wings will give us a favorable matchup.   CCC and I did some testing last night & did not come up with anything "great".  We will need to think long and hard on these matchups. 

That being said, I don't believe a winning strategy is to put our full effort into beating these teams early on in war.  Try to come up with something that beats both of these teams with a hard counter (neither will let us get by with a soft counter or something we've shown in round 1), but we need to ensure that we are beating up on the less threatening teams to keep us moving ahead through war.

Earth / Re: Round 1 - Salvage Station

« on: October 14, 2011, 10:26:06 pm »

Deck 1:

Sucks.  Crappy salvage.  I would suggest one of the following:

1.  Lone Blessing (In case we want to splash in a rainbow with a warden), Morningstar (I don't see this as being useful at all, but if we can somehow pickup a 2nd, it becomes an option in Immortal), 2 pends, 2 pillars for either splitting quanta in immortal or future conversion.
2.  3 pends, 3 pillars for the same reason mentioned above.


Deck 2:

Now I wish I had listened to Sevs when he said we can pickup ghosts in our vault along the way.  More would almost be overkill now, but I vote 2 RTs for sure, then I guess 4 ghosts in case we eventually wanna move away from dragon deck + ghost deck towards 2 ghost decks as wings get filtered out of war.

Very well played Martyr.  You got set up with a complicated deck and didn't let us down.  Thanks for all of your hard work!

Good luck in future rounds Team Light/Nika.

We are looking forward to an epic MartyrX vs. Doggsbodyguard matchup at some point.

Woo, I am mentioned! I don't exactly know why, but i like it! 

Two tough guys that don't take no crap!
