Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about this match. With Pika as an opponent, I knew I'd have my hands full. It wasn't really until game 2 that I was sure that they hadn't brought the old Bonebolt of last War... which was very good for me...

Game 1: (Win) Pika had a terrible draw and I was able to get the Pharoahs out and spam some Scarabs for the win.

Game 2: (Loss) Pika had a much better starting hand and mine just seemed to drag along. Pika finally showed what he had as he brought out a Bone Dragon and then Fractaled his Recluses...

Game 3: (Win) Kind of a slow start for both of us but got the Discord out early and that helped to slow him down a bit further... We battled down the HP's and a late BW from Pika had me quite concerned as he started killing off my Scarabs. NM on card 19 was a very welcomed sight... allowed me to win with 13 hp left.

Game 4: (Win) 2 Novas and Discord in opening hand helped me gain a foothold on this one. Another slow start from Pika and it was a race to see how much I could get out before his hand developed. Disco kept him scrambled as I got out my Pharoah and started to spawn... After he got 3 Pends out, my Quicksand showed up and pretty much sealed it... He dumped a BW and Arsenic on me  but with some critters on the board it was a bit too late...

Pika, it was an honor to face you in battle my friend. Sorry for the terrible RNG you had. Best of luck in your future battles and to your team.

Thanks to all my team for being there in support and next time I'll bring more beer...

Predicted Time's deck with almost complete accuracy during the Duel Phase, but what can I say? Turn 2/3 Discord against a low quanta opening hand hurts.

The matches were decided by RNG troll. 1 or 2 pends every match VS 2nd or 3rd turn discord every round. We predicted this deck and were supposed to win this :\

[Onizuka]

Reminds me of last war, but so different o:

[deuce22]

well, shit happens. was really looking forward to this matchup :/

Really? With 3 discos, eq and nightmare this was a coin toss at best if not a match in our favor!

Go  !

[Higurashi]

Did a bit of real testing. Results are very close to 50-50. The Quicksand does a lot of work x)

And what Discord nerf? 

[inthisroom]

Looking at both decks, I also feel that the outcome is quite logical, even though it wasn't guaranteed.

Well done bripod, and nice job team !

I remember designing something very similar for Time last war to specifically combat bonebolt, and we found in testing that it averaged about 3 - 1, just as the score is for this matchup.  I think it was 3-1 last war in the actual match, too.

[Higurashi]

Quite a bit different. That had 2 Purifies and no Quicksand. This BoneBolt has no Poison. Evens it out quite well, but still a fine matchup.

And what Discord nerf? 

What's a Sanctuary?

Discord scrambles 9 quanta max instead of 10 now.
