Nice DK, thanks. I had thought sevs' version felt pretty quick when I tried it and this confirms it. Now lets see you get in 200 games of the important ones. Go go go!

Rainbow Decks / Re: Hourglass 1 and only!! (voodoo deck)
« on: June 01, 2011, 01:30:50 pm »100 games (using 2 Voodoo Doll & 1 Nightmare):I don't find that to be true at all. I've been recording data... 40% win so far vs. Decay. If you can manage to squeeze out a SN before being quanta denied, you can pull out an easy win by playing an early doll then just waiting for eclipse. If he plays 2+ pests and you have no aether tower in play yet, then of course it is a skip.
48 wins, 49 losses, 3 skips (Decay is totally impossible), 4 EMs
Basically to conclude, the cloak works fine in the combo, and it will affect winrate vs those 5 'will CC your gravdoll' FGs pretty dramatically. (Obviously you need to play the combo late enough in order to have the full damage in the cloaked turns - this wont always be possible but I can only really see it being a rare problem if destiny/chaos lord exercise their haxx engines.) Cloak also saved my ass in a hermes win. Seemed to have less affect on the deck vs everything else than you might think even though it is essentially a dead card, it's only one. Personally I don't mind quitting in only CL/seism/destiny since the deck is so fast it's very easy with this particular deck when you're in grindmode to just quit and press on than take on a tricky fight. It's only 3/29 to quit. So yeah, IMO if the deck was a slower deck then I'd definately go for this, might even increase overall win% but I like having a 3rd voodoo. I'd probably choose cloak over nightmare.Thx for the info and I like your quote at the end
Man.. we should really grow up and stop playing with dolls.
Seems like it would be an adjustment if your goal was winrate/score over just ripping through as many spins as possible. It may be better just to skip those 5 hombres and go cloak-free.
If you're gonna play 3 doll so you can draw the combo easier, wouldn't you want to play a 31 card deck and go 3 gpulls to be able to draw everything easier? Seems silly to give yourself a better chance at drawing one card but not the other.

« on: June 01, 2011, 01:14:38 pm »Can anyone test: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23368.0.htmlI could certainly add this to the list of decks to test after we finish the initial round with the current decks posted. I think we are considering Napalm's RoL/Hopesaders & perhaps an unupped Shakar's by RootRanger if I can track that deck down.
or should I just do it and post results?

Round 8 / Re: (Underworld) Lt. Sevs 2 - 1 Gen. Napalm Grenade(Fire)
« on: May 31, 2011, 06:17:12 am »@ Napalm I am actually really sorry i meant to word that in a funny way i have removed it. I didnt mean it like in your face so please dont take it that way. I am truly sorry for saying that. I should have restrained myself. You played as best you can for the draws the RNG gave you and i have to hand to you for making an insane game out of what we thought was a fractix counter.I'll side with Sevs in that I think its clear there was no mal-intent with his comments. The comedic timing may have been off in that often others are more sensitive by competitive nature after losses. No gloating or rubbing it in was meant by this statement and I think we should give him a break here.
@ gavsword I am sorry if i offended you too. I didnt mean to say i am the best as clearly i am not. I am only 2-2 and so far the decks i have built have somewhat failed. I didnt mean it to be offensive. I thought it might be a little funny from the PM's but I did so in poor taste.
@ TStar I wasnt gloating over a victory. Period PS No need to call me a Jackass in chat.
@ Everyone who thinks i am an ass sorry, I am just a person of untimely humor. and I regret it. In all reality I was extremely lucky
Just my

Booster Draft - Battle Results / (Team C) kirchj33 3 - (Team C) willng3 0
« on: May 31, 2011, 02:12:49 am »
We all know willng3 is quickly becoming the king of RNG bad luck. He basically lost what should have been cointoss matches the first two. Then I change to my grab & ghost "counter" for the 3rd and he gets totally jobbed there as well. I call it a "counter" because it won about 50% of the time vs. a human opponent, so since both decks are available, I just chose to run what was being countered....
Games 1 & 2:
Game 1 was back and forth and came down to a coin toss. Game 2 he won the cointoss, but had 1 quanta sources on the draw somehow. This enabled me to easily outrush him.
Game 3:
He plays a dragon on the same turn I finally draw a ghost (turn 4?). I've got 3 chaos seeds in hand by now, and decide to play them so I don't lose the early rush. I PU his dragon on the first, shockwave on 2nd, and bolt on the 3rd. He plays his lone CS next turn and it only does 3 damage to my ghost. Rage promptly ensues.
gg's will. This may mean nothing more than getting first crack at Nappers so stay en guard!

Nothing could be done in these deck matchups.
Games 1 & 2: Losses
Game 3: Loss
Game 4: Loss
Can't quite remember what my deck was... but at this point... I was just making shit up as I went along. The point is... I accidentally brought along abominations instead of lycans, which is illegal, but I couldn't play them and lost anyways.
I believe kevkev is a superior dog breeder and his stats will allow him to become the alpha male before long. Good luck!
