In general, I would like to mention the simple fact every team sent a stall last round (except for
and
), but every deck showed me a thing; people were REALLY afraid of our Emerald Shield and Thorns last round. The stalls were using either outstall tactics with a possibility for OTK (see
,
and
decks that we faced at round 2) and even the
's rainbow rush was featuring Guards (many hp = Thorn resistance) and
's domination had Momentum. Even
used Freeze, BB and Diamond Shield for stalling!
Problem is, are our opponents going to brings stalls these time because we seem vulnerable to them? My opinion is the following; the 2 Generals (
and
) are going to rush us; I don't think they are going to drop away the 12-ups advantage in order to outstall us (but we still need to field decks able to counter a possible stall). In the other hand, due to the Event Card, Team
,
,
and
are very likely to purposely drop the amount of their upped to zero (or almost zero) in order to outstall us once again and gain relics that way. Due to this, our decks must be able to counter stalls the one way or the other.
* Our Mitodragons with Heavy Armors and BBs are probably going to do well against a Wings/CC stall that
is so good at.
* Our NT quartet (with a good hand) is fast enough to outrush even an upped
rainbow and the simple fact it is a quartet gives it a small resistance towards Discord; its different upped/unupped pillars/pends make EQ much weaker; BHoles are still a problem though. In case of stall, Nymphs are quite tough in general; I hope they are going to survive the waves of pandemonium. The posibility of Earth Nymphs and BB in combination with adrenaline will grant pseudo-immortality even to their bolts; the Red Nymphs and the Deflag are going to help with Purple dragons and Diss Shields. Finally, Green Nymphs can outrush everything in masses (except if our opponent throws tons of tons of Antimatters).
* Adrenaquintions is reliable enough against a Death who doesn't seem to have any reflective shields.
* Scar's Green/Light Nymph rush can be fast enough to destroy Firestalls before being burned down by tons of CC (Mitosis can be really helpful here, as well as the fact this is going to be our lieutenant deck). Hopes are going to help in case of a rush...
* Rainbow versus gravity is a good and somewhat unpredictable choice, though we may need a Sanc or two in case of BHole (or even Discord, Nightmare, Silence).
* PUgons may work against
, but we many need to test this a little further...
