r6 salvage/discards

discards:
fractal pegasus: 14deck 6vault

There are only 13 nonquanta cards in the vault.  Therefore, we discard the entire deck and 7 card from vault.  Easy.

entropy duo: 14deck 6vault

There are 15 nonquanta cards in this deck; therefore, we can save 1 card.  There is no point saving any entropy cards.  This means we either save 1 dragon or 1 crusader.  We have 9 dragons and 11 crusaders in the vault, and 3 dragons and 6 crusaders in the deck.  I vote we keep 1 crusader, the reason being that then we have a full complement of 6 crusaders left in the vault, and we can still make a full vader sader deck.

SALVAGE
vs death:
We can take bone dragons(4) (no), parallel universe(4), dimensional shield(5), fractal(1), or silence(1).  Now, after my loss, we are down to 5 dims and 0 fractals, so we could do something like pick up 1 fractal, 1 dim, maybe 1 silence, and 3-4 pus, and then we could basically build death's deck except with light dragons.  I think that's probably the best plan.  So, this is my suggestion:

Alternately, we could do a 4th PU instead of the silence.

vs darkness:
There are steals(2), vampire(4), voodoo doll(3), nightmare(1), squid(6), shard of patience (4), and vampire dagger(2) here.  We don't have any use for the dolls, and we have enough steals already I think.  We already have 4 stilettos, but taking more would allow siphonary and vader sader to have enough each.  Alternately, we could take a bunch of the water cards and build some sort of stally thing.  Personally, I quite like that idea, though I can see the value in having vader/siphonary available as well.  There are enough possibilities here that I want to leave this one up for discussion.


The other thing we have to look at is how we can most efficiently use the cards we have left.  At 76 cards left in vault, we are TWO FUCKING CARDS over the limit needed to have to play 3 matches instead of 2.  Bad luck, that, but nobody's fault.  So we need 3 playable decks next round.

HOWEVER, if we TRANSMUTE four cards from salvage into TWO cards, we are are *74* cards, and we only have to field TWO decks next round.  (I am going to doublecheck this with WMs so we don't shoot ourselves in the foot)

For vault discards... this is going to be really hard.  We can't spare anything really.  I think we have to keep all the air cards; that's a deck right there, and, surprisingly, a winning deck last round.  We have to keep all the dims for the same reason; that's another deck that won for us.  We need to keep at least 6 dials for either siphonary or dim/dial stall.

If we get down to 2 decks next round, it is fine to discard 3 dials and 2 sancs; this will leave us one fully powered stall, and we don't want to run two half-ass stalls in round 7 anyway.  That's 5/13 vault discards taken care of.  We can probably drop some of the holy lights, especially if we don't face death or darkness next round, but I would like to keep a few; it's pretty obvious darkness will be one of the final contenders, and if we can hang on, we'll need to be able to consistently beat darkness.

We might be able to drop the 2 remaining pegasus, though they'd be alright in the air duo still.  We could drop 2 morningstars easily.  We only have 4 left, but I cannot see us fielding more than even one deck that still needs morningstars.  Everything else either fields daggers, OEs, or is deckout.  A water duo would probably still use morningstar, but that's about it.

-3 dial -2 sanc -2 morningstar... 6 more.  Perhaps one reflective shield?  I really want to keep one because of things like UG or psiontal or firestall, and two would be nice to increase draw reliability, but we might not have that luxury.  We can't drop any dragons; we only have 4 left, and that's a good number for pugons.  We probably have to drop some holy lights, but again, I want to keep a few for darkness.  Maybe a steal or a miracle?  We could also drop the pegasi.  If we're transmuting we can also take a couple light cards back (and give up 4 salvage cards) 

Anyway, more thoughts later, particularly after WMs answer my PM about trying to avoid fielding a 3rd deck.

Ok I spoke to Physsion and he said that we CAN transmute to avoid fielding a 3rd deck.  He has to know beforehand in order to make the round 7 schedule properly, so I told him we are going ahead to do this.  I think we'll probably do something like transmute 1pu/1silence and then 2x darkness salvage.
