(Master of Water) Essence vs. 918273645 (Gravity) -- 2:0

[Essence]

This round, I managed to work out a perfect counter entirely without meaning to.

Game 1: I put out a Toadfish, he puts out a Merc and Adrenalines it.  I infect it, he Grav Pulls, and death all around ensues.  Turns out, I have more Toadfish than he has Grav Pulls, and then when I start piling on Crawlers besides and an OE comes out for more control, the victory is assured.

Game 2: He gets 1 grav pillar and little else.  I get 5 pendula/pillars and stomp all over him.  I offer to call it a desync and replay for fairness' sake, but he sees that my deck is going to beat his every time and concedes graciously.

Good sportsmanship, and good games considering the horrible luck you had, 918273645.

I was really reluctant to take Crawlers at first, fearing Grav Shields, but then I figured I'd just Infect them or Snipe them to make them fit in under, and ran with it.   Never saw Adrenal Mercs coming, but it just so happens that Water's best unupped rusher can Infect stuff, so it was an accidental perfect counter.  

Purify was for Momentumed Scorpions, but that didn't happen, everything else should be obvious.  OH, OEs were originally Longswords for more speed, but playtesting revealed that more speed was actually overkill and more control would be better.

Congrats, Essence. It's always funny when stuff works out that way, huh?

[~Napalm]

Humm... Yeah that didn't go so well. Not a single freeze D:

Not suprising to lose to a master though

[Memorystick]

We might have had more luck with a charger/merc rush >_>'
Oh well, can't win 'em all (unless you're antagon)

[~Napalm]

Any luck with Discord/BH may have been a game winner too.

[Sir Valimont]

Presumably the score was 2-0 for this match?

[Essence]

Good catch, SV.  Thanks.

[Sir Valimont]

Good catch, SV.  Thanks.

Of course. I keep stats on these things for our team and there was an empty slot on my spreadsheet!

Congrats on the flawless victory.
