willng3 (Aether) 2 - 1 Napalm Grenade (sub for Lava Golem) (Fire)

[willng3]

RNG strikes again.  Honestly, these duels came down to the right draw.

Code: [Select]

55s 55s 55s 561 561 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61r 61r 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 7n2 7n2 7n2
Game 1:  Was going fine until Napalm managed to Fractal her Minor Phoenixes when I started to become worried.  She Deflag'd one shield, I replaced it with another, she managed to top deck another Deflag and dealt exactly 52 damage to me, killing me. 0-1

Game 2:  Desync at the beginning, but we both played the match through regardless.  I managed to steamroll her AI while she admitted to wasting a Deflag too soon on a Dim Shield instead of a Catapult, which is what I was trying to get her to do anyways.  She graciously offered the win to which I accepted. 1-1

Game 3:  Really, really bad draw on her end.  She failed to draw a single Minor Phoenix before I EM'd her.  Fail draw at the beginning with no way of generating outside of her mark.  I had no fear of playing my Catapults early and flung two Titans at her before winning. 2-1

GGs Napalm, I apologize for the issues involved in managing to get this match to play out, but nevertheless I thank you for taking the time to duel me in a proper manner.

Well, gg's Will. And Srry Lava, will here was ready to KILL me if we didn't play this match, and I was itching to play fractix anyway I hope you don't mind ^_^

Game 1: Win
Everything went my way this game, 4 Aether Pillars turn 1, with plentry of Immolations and Fractals, as well as 2 perfectly timed deflags, to back it up.

Game 2: Loss
We desynched turn 1.

I only drew 1 Aether Pillar this game, and as a result, decided to play it out and see what happened rather than looking like a schlubb who backs out of a duel with a horrible hand. I drew 3 more Pillars in quick succession and got up and rolling fairly quickly. Seeing as the AI had gone 3 turns taking damage before playing a shield, I assumed it had no more in it's hand and deflaged it rather than taking the safe route and fractalling a 2nd time the next turn. The AI either topdecked or simply had the shield on hand and it ended up costing me the game.

Game 3: Loss
You'd think with 30 cards, and 6 MP's, you could at least draw ONE before turn 9. 'Nuff said. Nothing I could do about this match. I had 2 Deflags, 2 Fractals, and 3 Immo's just itching to be used.

I know how you feel Napalm, same thing happened to me against 3D.

Congrats will!!!

[EngPhys]

These salvages make me salivate. Good show!

[pikachufan2164]

Yay, Will!

Sorry about the match scheduling complications that arose, Napalm. At least you got to use Fractix

[EvaRia]

Great job Will, and hey, is that ANOTHER epic salvage?

[UTAlan]

Way to go, will.

AI won't use Immolation on a Minor Phoenix. Therefore, it'd never have enough to Fractal. So, there's a 0% chance that the Fractal Phoenix deck (with AI playing it) would beat Aether's deck.

Ouch, phoenixes don't want to fight

Of course Napalm not being able to beat my AI, who I would hope is not more intelligent than myself, means absolutely nothing

[majofa]

Take a deck, put 6 Minor Phoenix in it, give it a MARK and a couple Deflagrations, and fill the rest of the slots with Relics and unupgraded shards. That's essential what you were playing. (That's the point I was trying to make)

I've always said, this is WAR, so all's fair. So your win is your win. (And I wasn't mad at you in chat, I was just joking )

I figured you were, but it's very hard to tell when someone starts a conversation by calling you a jerk, especially when we hardly ever converse otherwise which would make such a comment somewhat inappropriate.  But regardless I'm not going to let that stop me from taking your word for it; it is your mind, not mine after all.
