Round 5: Opponents and Duels

[RootRanger]

Deckbuilding: It's time to d-d-d-duel!
Duels: It's time to d-d-d-deckbuild for round 6!
Event card: Tactical Point: During Deckbuilding, choose Point: Point discards 20 more for a loss. Other team mates discard 5 less for a loss.
*When recording include "Point" before the players Name.
*Losses beyond the deck come from the Vault
*Not Optional
*Revealed when you post decks after playing

TL:DR
Basically we name our best player "Point" (seriously what kind of name is Point?) and he's supposed to win.

Bootsza vs Lt. ak65ala
EvaRia vs kirchj33
Falcon4415 vs Gen. coinich
Devilloss vs Zblader
Lt. TStar vs Boingo
Lava Golem vs hrmmm
LifeLockable vs RootRanger
Gen. Theonlyrealbeef vs valuka

Taking Point means to be first in a formation, meaning you're probably the guy thats gonna get shot at first.

[RootRanger]

Every player has to play a game and potentially lose. Since it's only round 5, most of the teams can still field reasonable decks. I think that time will run a deck almost as strong as life, which means the 6 upgrades will make a big enough difference.

Deckbuilding: It's time to d-d-d-duel!
Duels: It's time to d-d-d-deckbuild for round 6!

I've posted the deck ideas we are currently looking at here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25778.msg352661#msg352661) . I couldn't decide which deck to go with for valuka-- just has so many options. 
For the remaining decks, I have entered the decks into our deckbuilding spreadsheet here (https://spreadsheets0.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CPv59ZUF&key=t9AfWmyWwa-cn0EMZjjbfng&authkey=CPv59ZUF#gid=10) .

A few issues:
1) We haven't done discarding from our 3 losses yet and we are already overdrawn on:

1x Morning Star
2x Sanctuary
3x Miracle
2x Light pillar
3x Light pendulum
7x Earthquake (possible to salvage)
2x Stone skin (possible to salvage)
2x Pulverizer (possible to salvage)
2x Phoenix (possible to salvage)


2) The firestall loss last round is problematic as we are trying to run another fire deck this round.  The deck used 6 firebolts and 6 sanctuaries, and we can only salvage 32-24= 8  cards.  If we salvage 6 firebolts + 2 sanctuaries, then we are down to -6 sanctuaries for the vault.

3) Root's deck: consider +1 RT (may be life-saving vs rainbow rush). 
ak65ala's deck: Pulverizers offer damage and PC (shields, UG), but are easily exploded.  Explosions offer instant PC, but no damage.  I'm torn which is better for the deck.

[valuka]

I made several tests against TheBeefs decks what he used in previous rounds. I prefer the 2. version:

invalid data in the round 5 sheet.

im going to check our discarding if we can afford it.
