First off, thanks for some enjoyable and very intriguing games, melendr :P

This is the deck I used for Round 1.

Code: [Select]
5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61u 622 622 622 622 7ae 7ae 7ae 7ae 7ae 7ae
I told you :aether had surprises up its sleeve. This was one of them. Pure damage. Some stalling and just a touch of creature control finish the picture. I was pretty confident, and I guess it payed off. (Wait what)

Round 1:

Melendr pulled out a pretty interesting deck. He had a :death mark and I really had no idea what to expect. But I soon found out. He had a beautiful opening draw, sending out a Fog Shield and several Poisons within the first few turns. He figuratively bled me dry with the poison, which stacked all the way up to 10 throughout the game. I got a pretty bad draw, only getting 2 :life pillars. I played my Frogs cautiously, and was greeted by a storm of Shockwaves. He drew a lot of that; those and his Fog Shield, combined with my lack of :life, slowed my offense down considerably. Near the end, however, I drew more :life pillars and managed to accumulate enough damage to rival his. He pulled out a couple Mummies, I countered with Dimensional Shields... but in the end, it was his poison that was my undoing. I lost by one turn.

And then, the biggest surprise of all: He had used the wrong deck! The deck he posted in the :air thread did not have mummies in it. We deliberated. We weren't sure of the rules - should we restart? Count it as my win? Blow something up? I contacted Scaredgirl. She did not respond, which was understandable considering I gave her about 5 seconds to respond. Antagon proposed a solution, which sounded good to me. We just continued playing, assuming that it was a restart. So we did.

Round 2:

Melendr got another brilliant draw, but I was prepared. My draw wasn't too shabby itself. And given two good draws, the better deck wins. And mine was better. He got a Fog Shield, a couple Poisons, and a couple Shockwaves set up pretty fast, but my 8 Frogs came a'knocking not much slower than his offense. The number only increased from there, reaching 15 in a matter of turns. I ran him down, no questions asked. 1-0.

Round 3:

We both got bad draws. Again, in a situation like this, the better deck wins. I ran him down with only a couple Frogs. 2-0.


Again, good games indeed. :aether claims its first triumphant victory... expect MANY more to come! :)

yeah good games. sorry about the wrong deck but I guess you won anyway. here is the deck I was supposed to use and did use for the last three games.


Code: [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 5ok 5ok 5ok 5ok 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5og 5og 5on 5on 5on 5on 5on 5on

your assessment of the games was accurate so I won't say anything there :p


the reason I had a wrong deck the first time was I pasted my deck code into notepad and forgot to change it when the deck changed. so when I went into notepad I had the wrong deck at first >.<

hmmm. Interesting deck from Melendr. I would have switched out a few Bone Pillars for some... some... I have no idea.  :-X
Back just for Mafia.

Interesting, another air/death vs aether/life battle, just like mine vs ufcfan, except the result is different. I have to say this air death/deck is really not as good as the one I've faced, instead of wasting so much cards and quanta to use shock wave, why didn't he just pack some eagle eyes like ufcfan? And fireflies for damage is just kind of random since their damage is not good and this deck has no use for light quanta. Please do not take this as an insult, I'm just expressing constructive criticisms.
P.S: Nice win, Icybraker, congratulations.

Well, well. Team Air has some Mummies.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

It was thrown together by unit at the last minute and I submitted the deck I wanted to use like 5 minutes later when it was slightly too late. He did not really have enough time to fine tune it. Also he did not realize that I have 6 arsenics so did not put those in for me.
