Used 4 relics.

Game 1: Worked as intended. Dragon out, fractal on ghost + silence. 1-0.
Game 2: He stole my dims, played his creatures and used drain life on me after my fractal on ghost, but not enough to kill me. Other dims + eternity lock = 2-0.
Game 3: Double steal = GG. 2-1.
Game 4: Nice hand, early dragon, enough quanta to play the combo with ghosts. Silence to avoid drain life and steals. Dusk didn't do his job. 3-1.

PS: with this victory, Round 11 reached! 

PPS: I wanna dedicate this victory to DANIEELA, that even she cannot stand me anymore, I still love her

L
Only one steal, may have worked anyway but Silence made the difference.

L
Only one steal, threw stuff out in a desperate move but Eternity sealed it.

W
Double steal, held on to my cards until I could TTK.

L
Noticing my change in strategy, Spike played rushier, Dusk doesn't like me.

Good games Spike, sorry team, a match that could've gone either way, it didn't go mine.

Whoa, interesting win. I wouldn't expect 3 steals lose to ghostal.

[DANIEELA]

YAY!

[ARTHANASIOS]

Whoa, interesting win. I wouldn't expect 3 steals lose to ghostal.

 Dude, even 6 steals or 6 deflags would probably lose against this Ghostal, which is the most effective deck in this War by far. Only BE or Pulvy would be able to beat it via PC. Phase Shields are not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is these Phase Shields in combinaton with those Hourglasses that draw the whole deck extremely fast and that freaking Eternity that can both prevent deckout or act as a powerful CC; not to mention the tons of quanta sources this deck has, allowing to spam Dragons/Ghosts and use the hourglass/eternity ability at the same time.

 If I was expecting a deck like this, I would use 6 Steals or 6 Deflags but I would NOT target Dims with them (that is a common mistake done against this deck). Target the Hourglasses to prevent this deck from drawing its lethal firepower (Fractal & Dragon/Ghost) and its annoying defence (Dim Shield chain) and its eternity to prevent it from locking you down. After establishing your rush, steal the dims if you can kill your opponent in one hit.

 Truth to be told, this deck is very difficult to be dealt with, especially with 16 upped cards.
 Well played inthisroom, well played Spike.

This is just too much stress. Dx

I wouldn't call 5-2 the most effective deck when there is another with 8-1. And probably a few others with 5-2 or better.

@Avenger: Non-original decks do not count. The average Ghostal isn't original but I find this type of Ghostal to be really original and effective and gratz to team for using it.

What's original about it? Looks like a fairly standard ghostal, except maybe a little fatter...

We changed (varied) Jonnington as much as they changed ghostal.

They upped a pend just because they wanted to spend a relic~

Jonninhton is a firestall, it is always a firestall and it always behaves like firestall.

 Typical Ghostals are like every other Fractal deck. They use a cost-effective hitter (in our case GotP), Fractals, Dims and maybe a Silence or a Lobo. A Hourglass or two may find their way in a typical Ghostal, but they are not core cards for the deck's strategy.
 This Ghostal is a totally different story. It outstalls every non-damaging stall (though every deck with an Eternity and a single creature does so) but it acts like a stallbreaker too (the Fractal & Ghost/Dragon can even act as an 2-turn KO, especially if combined with Silence). In other words, instead of behaving like a mid-game rush (which is the typical strong point of most Fractal decks) it focuses on the stallbreaking aspect of the deck, as well as the Dim Shield chain defense.
 It just feels like you play an OTK and I love it!
