Rather than guessing precisely which deck Higs / Eva will bring, we should try to put each of them on a range of decks.  Then, we just pick the combination of our own decks which fares best against that range.

Best option: just send the decks to the event organizer, and he will post results after the round is complete.

One additional thought:

We should think about possible decks we could field using the event card + salvages:
- can get 4 x nova, 1 x QP and construct a bow?

salvage options:

Event card options  (1 copy of up to 12 cards):

more death critters / cardsmore beef to earth stall - pend / shield / PAcombine with salvage to build a bow

Likely aether decks for Round 12:
Gen.

fractixpestalupped grabowpoison & lightning

Unupped

devtalgrabowpoison & lightning

other possibilities:

Aether could use event card to grab eternity - eternity + purify beats our earth stall

We should test our various decks against these options.

Expected dim shield, but kinda hoped I could outrush it and brought this instead of pulverizer deck.  I lost to a wonky dim shield, CP, scarab, pulverizer, toadfish deck  (managed to stop his damage but dim shield chain finished me).

I brought pulverizer to kill his dim shields.  He brought a similar rush, but upgraded dragons made the difference.  Got him down to 2hp instead of dead, but this is neither horseshoes nor hand grenades.  Oh, first try at game 2 was an early desynch which I likely would have lost as well.

All I can say here is that at least I managed to make him sweat it out a bit.  I never got enough to play a pulverizer and did not have enough to play all my sanctuaries.

EA for the earth stall , nuff' said.

good idea, but 1 copy only kinda sucks :-)

Lol, this event really helped . Now they are even more unpredictable.

Fixed your post.  Getting 1 copy of a different card doesn't really help build a new deck for a mono or a duo ... obviously helps out a rainbow, though.  This should make the war more interesting for the last few rounds!

One possibility for this round is to use the event card to fatten our earth stall up to 44 (or 42) cards:

upgrading whatever makes sense, maybe plagues, EQs, bone walls...

The other deck could be a death rush with steals:

Remaining in vault:

1 x flesh spider1 x bone dragon1 x poison2 x Owl's eye5 x wings

Problem here obviously is that a loss with the rush kills us.

As for placement of decks, I like the earth stall with MrBlonde because upgrades benefit him more and will probably expect the rush or fractal spiders with MrBlonde again.

The event card may actually not change people's decks too much except for UW.  Adding 12 different cards to vaults will just increase card totals but not really add strategies for the non-UW teams.  This does allow us to salvage cards from our win last round (we could grab 5 wings and 1 OE, then use event card to add another OE and a flying weapon for example).

Here are my recommendations for the 12 different cards:

Flesh SpiderMummyBone DragonSkull ShieldBone WallArsenicPlaguePoisonEarth pendulumTitanium ShieldOwl's EyeFlying Weapon

The last two can be changed if we decide to salvage something different (or nothing at all).

Given the likelihood of pestal in at least one of the matchups, it may not be right to salvage wings, but at least we have some luxury to test.  The event card next round may be useful as well ... hopefully reinforcements???  (more spiders = win!)

wow, crazy prediction comes true
