So, here's some fun facts regarding the success rate of dim shields this war for aether.

Dims were used in 20 of aether's 59 matches.
Dim decks went 12-8 (60% win rate)
Aether went 30-9 without dims (77% win rate)

Yes dims are powerful, but they are not the sole reason aether has won 2 wars in a row.

Know where your enemies expect you to be, then don't be there.  Well played, Aether.

Intersting fact.. though I'd rather see the win rate of fractal decks since it's way harder to counter then the shield.

considering that nearly every deck aether used is a fractal deck just look at their record from the war to get an idea of the fractal win rate

To thank dims only would be blind sighted. You have to thank lightning and fractal too.
You're just as selfish as I am. You're just not as good at it yet.

Dim decks went 12-8 (60% win rate)
Aether went 30-9 without dims (77% win rate)

And do you know why Aether went 30-9 when not playing Dims? Because most of the time, the opponent had to splash in Dim Shield counters that were then dead cards, because you can't win against Dims without having counters.

Well, gz Air!

So we use dims and "aether won because dims are OP", we don't use dims and "aether won because dims are OP". Damned if you do, damned if you don't : )

Some facts;

* For this match we had 12 different tested deck candidates.
* We got so many entropy salvage in round 10 that we couldn't resist using purple dragons and disco '-.-
* For this match, I was supporting 6 lightning 6 psion 4 fractal deck with 11 ups. Avenger was supporting entropy duo with a lot of disco, pu and upped dragons. Deuce wanted this weirdo rainbow. "Deuce, i hate you so much, this hatred boils my blood" i said
* This round in our vault, we had rol/hope, full grabbow with rainbowish support cards (fog,steal,deflag), entropy duo and enough aether creatures & fractals to field 3-4 mono aethers. Obviously we would have to convert in case we kept losing, damning rol-hope first.
* Half the war we had a CC dragontal fire duo in our vault which never got the chance to be fielded and got converted. (R11 support decks were tribute to this)


For top 5 teams:
"Two steps from hell productions" has music for us all:

5th
* For quite some time, we were concerned about water and especially about steamies. This caution occupied our tactics for a while, making us salvage and save cards accordingly.
To team water: Water Temple


4th
* Team time were noteworthy opponents with good pvpers and they were the finalists of previous war. Luckily for us, this war their vault wasn't as troublesome vs aether decks.
To team time: Kronos


3rd
* Then came entropy. They were a scary bunch with their scary discords & panda. Out of all elements, I guess they won against us the most.
To team entropy: Lord of Chaos


2nd
* Air was our secondary concern until entropy got eliminated. Yet we suffered the terror of their fire duo more than anything this war. They had a rightful place, them upped air nymphs...
To team air: Sky Titans


1st
To team aether: Invincible...

Indeed. But interestingly dims, fractal, lightning, and psions were pretty much all dead vs. air's fire duo. PU was really the only useful card.

A sincere congratulations to Team Aether.  You earned the zanz out of this forum icon.



Every War a group of people stomps around the forum, threatening to fight the war of attrition by taking a dive in R1 and hiding at one deck all War.  All of you, take note: Team Aether's decks are a testament to how important a diverse, unseen vault is.  One example: the first time Team Aether used Discord all War was in this thread!
