Metamorphosis - Round 1

[10 men]

I couldn't find anything specific in the rules

I can't find anything either...

[The_Mormegil]

Check the example.

[10 men]

Uhm, yes, I can't find a word that mark changing is forbidden there either? EvaRia obviously kept using Time mark as it fits the deck strategy of the example deck better...

[EvaRia]

I guess I failed to make it clear.

The only time you're supposed to change mark is at the end of the round.

Since I failed to communicate this properly I'm not going to penalize you, but don't do it next round ^^'

I guess I thought it was pretty clear that you choose a mark for the round, but I suppose this isn't the case.

[The_Mormegil]

Uhm, yes, I can't find a word that mark changing is forbidden there either? EvaRia obviously kept using Time mark as it fits the deck strategy of the example deck better...

Uhm. I can see your point. Well, only EvaRia can answer, obviously. But since he said this first round was a bit relaxed for obvious reasons, you should be ok.

[TStar]

I understand the relaxed first round, but I guess I think calling the Mark completed when he used in all but 1 deck seems wrong to me.  If anything he should be given credit for completing the Mark since that's the Mark he fought the majority of the battles under.

[EvaRia]

Okay, so following solutions can be decided upon at the discretion of the two involved:

1. Restart the matchup
2. Result stands
3. Call it a forfeit
4. Death mark considered completed, 10 men must take a different mark for next round other than death
5. Coin Toss
6. Whatever else they can think of

I ask that both 10 men and DevilLoss both confirm their decision here.


Also, Spiraler, you have not posted your deck yet. Please do so ^^.

Game 1: Loss. I had a subpar draw and was outrushed.

Finally snapped out of my Metamorphosis induced depression enough to post some info.  10 hours of planning resulting in a loss will do that to you.  Root's deck was amazingly well thought out, and I saw counters to almost every route I had considered morphing to.  That being said, this was the most depressing loss I've taken yet in my short Elements career, due to the time I spent constructing my decks, and how close I was to winning (within a coin toss twice).  Really well deserved win by Root and he is a pleasure to play against.

Won - Decent start for Root with 2 turn 2 phoenixes, although he had to cremate a warden instead of a gemfinder to do so.  Had him outdecked pretty well in this first matchup.

Changes:
Purple Dragons ---> Discords
Poison ---> Deflags

Won - The decrease in pressure from my deck didn't get a chance to show up here as a turn 1 discord and horrible draw prevented him from getting going.

Grabbies ---> Lava Golems

Lost x3 - Very close games with the exception of one.  In the end, the exposure of my golems as opposed to the ability to hide graboids from his wardens was the difference.  Had to make some compromises to the effectiveness of my deck in order to set up the next round and my poor deck morphing caught up to me in the end.


Side note:  Never saw a fog shield come out that I can remember.

A lot of great draws and CC helped me to win this one. When majofa pulled out a discord, I had a deflag ready.

Hmmm... I'm beginning to think swapping out Rain of Fire was a bad idea... stupid demons.

Absolutely NONE!!



Thanks for being a great person overall, and putting up with my frequent time switches, and setbacks, majofa. Congrats; you definitely deserve the win. Good luck in the rest of the event!
