Vault Building - Countering War 5 Decks

[Belligerence]

Alright, this is directly related to vault building, but I made it its own thread because it's probably gonna take up a fair bit of space. Also its more about what other elements used against us effectively last War than anything else. I'll start going through the archives and finding decks that we lost against and finding a counter to them. We can use that information to work on building this Wars vault. will - if you disagree, just move this into the other topic, or let me know or something.

Lastly, each decks spoiler title will have something like "R1 Aether" this lets you know which round it was used in, as well as which element it was used by.

Yes, it is a huge amount of information to attempt to digest all at once. The primary purpose of this, however, is simply to allow us a chance to see each deck that managed to beat us in some manner. Surprisingly few of our losses last War were a result of DimShield - most appear to be either a stall, loaded with CC, or simply outrushed. In a large amount of these cases, adding a few specific cards and counter multiple decks.

Anyway, I need food - I'll be back in a couple hours to start working on the Vault itself.

Time seems like it's going to be one of the hardest to deal with to me, personally.  I still have not found a deck which reliably counters both Ghostmare and Ghostal, which are both pretty big threats.

Aether and Fire are going to be difficult to predict nearly all of the time because the two of them are probably the most versatile Elements in the game.

As Bell pointed out to me in chat, a lot of opponents seemed to be more interested in countering Frogtal, which also probably explains why not many people used Dims against us.  If people are that worried about Frogtal then that's probably something we can use to our advantage somewhere.
