Strategy List: Darkness

[Nadrin]

The / can be risky, and I feel the problems may be: 1) No early aflatoxin. 2) They have more than 40 cards. However, 23*6 does a lot of healing once you can get it out, but if they go /:gravity we are screwed.
 / : pros: strong CC, strong healing. cons: reverse time, not worried about siphon life though,  because staves and owls eyes both have 7 hp. Plague or thorn carapace could be a problem.

[Glitch]

Yea, I'm with Nadrin.  They wouldn't pack Lobo against life, so life/air is a safe bet.

Do we go flying staves or FFQ?

every deck is risky, because we cant counter anything they can come up with.

  /  ? oty? well they could also go with  / , pack rewind and we are screwed with a flying deck^^.

just a little point: we need 9 decks (9 duos?)
so we might have to take  / somewhere.
darkness seems the best candidate for this.


anyways: we need a quick decision here, to go on with our  / / / decks

Round has ended

[Glitch]

I suspect darkness would take a darkness/death CC deck, maybe something along the lines of Incarnate, against us.  I think life/air with shockwaves or life/water with thorn carapace are our good counters, and seeing as life/water is being used elsewhere, life/air is our duo.

Go FFQ deck with shockwaves which can take out devourers if they play them.  The only thing we have to worry about it liquid shadow... somehow, and I doubt they'd take that against us.

  / might be better, but also more predicatable.

im just worried about:

if we cant play the  / deck against  .
against wich element can we use this deck?

having 12 almost usless cards in the vault would suck.

[Nadrin]

could use the  /  vs.

[wizelsnarf]

The question is if they give their rookie a good deck so they are sure to win and just accept a loss to fire and light, or if they try to win them all, thus meaning they can't give their rookie the best deck.

Their decks are all tiny. We may want to consider a stall here.

Lots of dragons in their decks too.

[hrmmm]

i dont think darkness will accept a loss ^^.

im more worried about all the discords in all the teams out there.
a stall seems a good choise.

but they dont have any visible mass cc so far.
do you think the aflatoxin stall could have a chance here?

[wizelsnarf]

Maybe... as long as they dont quanta deny me, an aflatoxin/virus/bond deck could work. Afla is a tad slow and expensive, that is my only worry.

they put max 3 steals in each deck, with a minimum of 0. Average was 1.5ish. They didn't use any in their deck against us, apparently thinking we would be rushing....

That could be good but I would expect 2 bonds to be stolen most likely. That wouldn't be too killer though.
