Round 4 Decks

[Dragoon]

Well here are some thoughts that need to be tested!

Update: Using xdude's version below

Earth is tough but maybe these 2 decks?

Code: [Select]

I'll try to post more as I think about it.

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lh 5lh 5li 5li 5li 5og 5og 5on 5onLots of CC to take down Fire's weak creatures.  Works best against Dragons and Golems.  Hopefully fast enough against Phoenixes as well.

Hmm, I forgot about those heals we nicked, that could work. As for the other two, I'm not sure what else we could give. We will have to Hope that they work (Budum tcshhhh)

That still leaves two decks for the masters, and a fire deck. This is most likely going to be our hardest round yet, we would be lucky to come out 3-3

This will work? Not a great deal of offence as far as I can see, can you run through the strategy please?

Get control, stay alive, kill.

I'll update decks and vault tonight when I get back, xdude.  We have 1 fire deck and 1 in testing.  What do you think of a suicide deck against Antagon though if we can't find anything?

[implosion]

Okay, we're going ahead with the "in testing" deck (I think). It somehow managed to beat fractal minor phoenixes 2/3 times. I made a couple modifications btw Dragoon:

Code: [Select]

5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lh 5lh 5li 5li 5li 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 622 622 622
Yes. It's fractal pegasus. With dim shields. My victory was partially because candle's deflags tended to drift to the bottom of his deck... but I won the first game despite an early fire shield, and the third despite a late RoF (I had less than 10 hp left). Mark of is necessary; by the time you manage to fractal, basically, every turn is worth 3 damage. The original deck Dragoon posted had no morning stars... I think he said our other decks were using them all. But I think it's worth diverting 2 if we can, or at least 1 to this deck. It makes sense, because it can stall for some time with dim shields while MS hacks away. The original deck also had 2 fractals. I think a third is useful because without a fractal, the deck is pretty much dead in the water. If we're lucky, they'll play a deck without PC. The fractals, by the way, must be salvaged. 2 can be salvaged from theo's deck, and up to 3 can be salvaged from killfer's.

I don't want to make a suicide deck... that would look like we're giving up .

[xdude]

We can't salvage from killfer's and FF's decks, as we used subs.

[implosion]

Oh yeah... forgot that. In that case, 2 fractals. I only had 2 in the first game anyway .

[Dragoon]

I had asked about that fight in one of the threads but never got a response.  I sent a PM to safko01 so we'll see what he says.  I'll put in both versions and salvage 6 on the condition that it gets an ok from warmaster.   

[Dragoon]

Crap.  We got problems with vault restrictions.  We're using 7 Pegasi in our decks but we only have 6.  We're using 2 Shockwaves but we only have 1.  We're using 13 MS and only have 11.  And we only have 60 Light pillars left (we're using 54 this round and only that many because 2 anti-Earth decks are using like 5 apiece).  I've had to gimp some of our decks (particularly mine since I have the least chance of winning I think).  Hope they still work ok.

Yes, our Vault was mediocre. The team, however was great, and we're not done with yet. We're gonna get T3 for sure, most likely 2nd, or, in case of a great round, we'll also have chances for first.
