-- General Info --

xdude vs 10 men (Strategist)
Flying bows with wings. Apart from only 2 wings, I'm afraid that we'll be countered with AM + Bonewall
Suggestions/comments?

implosion vs Acsabi44 (Deckbuilder)
Nova + Graboids with packed with PCs. Aiming for a lot of damage fast.
Suggestions/comments?

Rastafla vs Kurohami (Vault Organizer)
Standard Nova + Graboids. Err.. and less entropy cards.
Suggestions/comments?

Matchups have been announced. I face , xdude and Rasta both face . No generals.

Yep, post updated and xdude mentioned that he will be gone in the deckbuilding phase. Posting the conversation for reference.

[05:01:13] xdude [»] suxerz: hey
[05:01:26] xdude [»] suxerz: I'll be gone for the next Deckbuilding phase
[05:01:33] xdude [»] suxerz: will be back for Dueling though
[05:01:36] suxerz [»] xdude: aww...
[05:01:46] xdude [»] suxerz: don't worry
[05:01:55] xdude [»] suxerz: I have some things in mind.
[05:02:13] xdude [»] suxerz: Do you mind if I tell you in chat, I don't feel like making a big nice post in our section now.
[05:02:15] suxerz [»] xdude: ok.. im here
[05:02:26] suxerz [»] xdude: sure.
[05:02:39] xdude [»] suxerz: generally against Entropy
[05:02:55] xdude [»] suxerz: if I'm gonna be the one playing Entropy
[05:03:04] xdude [»] suxerz: I want the Wings deck.
[05:03:26] suxerz [»] xdude: wings with flying MS?
[05:03:29] xdude [»] suxerz: they might be using Pandemonium/Poison to stop RoL/Hope
[05:03:37] xdude [»] suxerz: MS's would work good
[05:03:55] xdude [»] suxerz: especially since they might not use BW's
[05:04:05] xdude [»] suxerz: upps: EE's and Miracles
[05:04:36] suxerz [»] xdude: ok
[05:04:44] xdude [»] suxerz: if somebody else plays them..
[05:05:00] xdude [»] suxerz: they're likely gonna use BH's against our Rainbows.
[05:05:06] xdude [»] suxerz: Wings to stop BH's would be good.
[05:05:34] suxerz [»] xdude: eh? wings stop BH?
[05:05:37] xdude [»] suxerz: perhaps IMP might use RoL/Hope to block their Discords, but... that would be risky and I'd REALLY rather not lose RoL/Hope
[05:05:51] xdude [»] suxerz: that deck can win us the War with Pande taken out
[05:05:56] xdude [»] suxerz: err, wings stop Discords.
[05:06:22] suxerz [»] xdude: ah.. yes, winds stop discord
[05:06:40] xdude [»] suxerz: we only have 2 though, right?
[05:06:51] suxerz [»] xdude: yeah.. only 2
[05:07:05] suxerz [»] xdude: and we can have another 2 tit shield i think
[05:07:25] xdude [»] suxerz: tit shield? are those helpful? o.O
[05:07:49] suxerz [»] xdude: nope.. >.< just saying for the sake of shield
[05:08:03] xdude [»] suxerz: anyways, I'd rather we don't use that Wings deck against anybody else, it'd be nice to surprise Entropy
[05:08:37] suxerz [»] xdude: yep
[05:09:18] xdude [»] suxerz: hmm..
[05:09:25] xdude [»] suxerz: against Fire they DEFINITELY have no Discords
[05:09:29] xdude [»] suxerz: no BH's*
[05:09:34] xdude [»] suxerz: as they gave up the Discords
[05:09:48] xdude [»] suxerz: so they can't counter our bows, especially if we pack some explosions
[05:10:48] suxerz [»] xdude: ok, bows for fire
[05:11:38] xdude [»] suxerz: most of the other elements should be easy to counter knowing they can only play 1 or 2 decks.
[05:12:18] suxerz [»] xdude: what if we have fire AND entropy match?
[05:12:38] xdude [»] suxerz: well, bows for Fire
[05:12:46] xdude [»] suxerz: Entropy... like before
[05:13:09] xdude [»] suxerz: anyways I think I'll be able to post after seeing the matchups, this is just in case I can;t.
[05:13:12] xdude [»] suxerz: can't*
[05:13:29] suxerz [»] xdude: ok
[05:13:50] suxerz [»] xdude: hope that ddevan can post them soon
[05:14:24] xdude [»] suxerz: he's at school -.-

[fenix2011]

ahahhah our worst case scenario in that chat - play fire entropy
nicely callde sux. Nicely guessed, but i wish to hell you got it wrong
Let's go Team Light !

[suxerz]

Just throwing some ideas on the 1st post. Not sure about Rasta's deck. Nova+Graboid seems viable but we'll be countered by discord+BH. Was thinking about PUs in Rasta's salvage but how to work around that... Any ideas?
Card counts will be put later once the salvage/discard thread is available.

[Salamence_747]

If imp doesn't get animates I see no reason to use 4 EE. Wow, I'm blind today.

If we don't fear AM, rasta could play LightDragonPowa. However, I think entropy might see that coming, and they could easily add AM to BH/Discord Just to counter both the novabow and the DragonPowa at the same time. As long as this is still V1.252 (which it is) dive fixes AM. So, if we have the cards for it, we could play a pillar-heavy blessing/pegasus deck with Air mark. (Just checked that out, we have 3 pegasi, and they're in imp's deck. So that's probably a no go.)


...Thinking out loud, I am. I'm just leaving a record of what I was thinking.

Alright, new theory. We could play Grabbybow against entropy, but we'd have to play smart if they go BH. What say we make it largely Light/Earth and we only play nova when we'll use the quanta to evolve graboid or play stiletto or something. Wait. We lost our stiletto, didn't we. *checks* Nope, it lives. Awesome.

I threw together a deck idea for rasta:

Code: [Select]

4vi 4vi 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 590 590 590 590 590 590 5f6 5f6 5lc 5lc 5ld 5lh 5lh 5mq 5mq 5mq 5mq 5mq 5mq 5rk 5ur 61q
It should beat BH/Discord if played well. If it meets BH/Discord, the discord will lower your need of nova. Play as little quanta as you can, in fact if we had EQ I'd put it in to use on yourself once set up to lower BH's healing. Everything but the MS costs 3 or less, discord shouldn't be a huge issue. Deflags for shields, burst damage with the graboid by evolving last second if they have AM or G-Pull or something.

Anyway, I think it is possible to top BH/Discord with a novabow if well played.


One more thing, I only see how we can get 2 fog shield. Why does imp have 3? Where did I miss a shield?

[implosion]

Salamence, that deck is a little lacking in the 50%light department.

[asymmetry]

That's why we can't have nice things CC

[implosion]

Oh also make sure to fix the marks in the OP kthxbai.

[Wizardcat]

I just updated the Vault with our Discards for easier deckbuilding. Some of the above decks aren't legal using our current vault and potential salvages.

Also, still four whole days for so few decks?
