Round 1 - decks

[implosion]

So, Dragoon and I believe we've found the ever-elusive counter.

Code: [Select]

Strategy is play arsenic, play poison, bonewalls for protection and miracle to survive. It was able to beat a mono-fire rush fairly well. My only concern is if they decide to bring fire bolt, because dragoon had 70+ fire quanta by the end.

[Dragoon]

Yeah he beat a fire rush twice (Phoenixes and Dragons) with a splash of CC and PC.  If I had used Bolts instead of RPs I might've been able to win.

1 word: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[implosion]

counter tested with dragoon:

Code: [Select]

55q 590 590 5f6 5f6 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5li 5li
strategy: immolate photons, build up golems and graboids. In case of antimatter, save an immolation or two for the antimattered creature. Momentum is in case of a deck with only pillars, dissipation shield, and PA. Deflags are primarily for dissipation shields, but if they don't have shields they can be used on discords.

[Dragoon]

That is an awesome deck!  This is creativity at its best.  I love the idea of immolating AM'd creatures.

[Dragoon]

Right now we have the same deck being used against 2 Elements (Air and Water).  We could still use a new counter deck against one of those.  Also, if someone wants to try to improve or build a new counter-Gravity deck that might also be good.  The current one is okay, but could use some improvement.

[implosion]

I realized a huge flaw in the entropy counter recently: maxwell's demon. So I figure the fix is to add a couple rage potions, and two more light pillars or a photon and a pillar or a pillar and a miracle. It might be becoming a little intensive, so we might wanna add a couple fire pillars too, in which case we'd add a few more light cards, and hopefully it won't be too big.

I don't imagine a deck full of them, but maybe a couple.  Since they only have 2HP, you can use Lightning, Shockwave, DL, IB, to kill them instead of more fire.  We should have plenty of quantum from the Immolations.

[Dragoon]

I feel so dumb for not thinking of this earlier, but we could do a speed Life-Light deck against Water.  Adrenaline basically cancels out the effects of Freeze.  And it should be faster than even a Death-Water Poison deck.

Code: [Select]

This might be able to be used against Gravity as well since they tend to be a slower element.

[xdude]

I think Life Dragons would be faster, but not better against Water/Gravity. Just saying.

[Dragoon]

Yeah, I think you're right xdude.  We might could still use Life Dragons in the deck against Water.  Someone should test that.  When implo and I tested the above deck against Water, it went 1-1.

[xdude]

Or, we could add some Miracles. That deck of yours uses too little of the quanta it produces, IMO.
