9 cards to salvage Thanks to Nadrin's awesome 2-0 massacre.

My suggestion: +3 Arsenic, +3 Bonewall, +3 poison


Discarding (6 cards this round):

***Note*** we had 31 unused pendulums and we can convert cards later too, so we should definitely discard them in my opinion.

[Nadrin]

this hurts... although I wonder if parasites > poison

[wizelsnarf]

the problem with parasites is that we would need to run a trio which we basically have already ruled out.

The Good news is that we have too many pendulums in the vault and we only have to discard 6 cards for our losses. If we were going to take losses, this was the round to do it. Nadrin, you alone offset more than your fair share.

We still have matches left we could come out ahead for all we know. Also, we should win some cards from the propaganda hopefully.

Let's discard some pendulums, learn from this round and focus on making our best guess for what our opponents deck will be.

Let's not build our decks in fear but in creative ways that other teams won't expect.

[Glitch]

Yea, while we guessed their decks well, we just couldn't counter.

I agree, let's go more offensive.

[wizelsnarf]

Why did ScaredGirl give us a -3 penalty?

Nadrin is Substitute but he played his scheduled match not someone else's. I don't get it.

[Daxx]

Why did ScaredGirl give us a -3 penalty?

Nadrin is Substitute but he played his scheduled match not someone else's. I don't get it.

The negative penalty is in fact a bonus due to the Event Card for this round.

He won 2-0, which means he gets to salvage additional cards.

[Glitch]

OH!  A negative penalty is a bonus!  Got it.

[hrmmm]

negative penalty ftw! ^^
(just a bit scared of entropys - penalty o.O)

back to topic -- agree, we should discard pendulums for 1. priority.
so keep the nymph tears in the vault, please

we might want to trade in some cards later for pillars, after building decks for later rounds.

salvaging:
agree with wizel
3 arsenics + 3 bone walls + 3 poison

[wizelsnarf]

okay we can't really afford to discard any more pendulums at this point.

That leaves us with the option of converting some cards to pendulums, or discarding non pendulums.

I personally vote we convert the sundials and or mind flayers. They are just wasted space and we need to focus on round 2, not round 6.

[hrmmm]

any one knows when we need a final desicion for salvaging?
before round 2 begins? = end of duels round 1?

also when can we add the cards from the propaganda?
can we add them in the deckbuilding round?

dont know for first, i assume at the end of round one/start of round two and for second, at the end of round one

[wizelsnarf]

Comon hrmmm!!!!!!!! We need a win... We are at 42 discard right now and we are going to have to convert some cards to pendulums if we discard all pendulums (we had 31 extra, meaning we now are at -9 pendulum disadvantage...)
