@coinich: It might have been a neat idea to try photons/any other creature with <3 health+aflaotoxin+empathetic bonds. 
Our origional deck planned for that, with Pulvies (Time/Grav/Earth trio) but we changed it up a bit to make it faster, and it looks like it payed off. I had originally placed some Stone Skins in Di's deck, where those BBs are now, figuring there was a good chance of coming up vs. an Aether Phase stall or Miracle Poison deck. Fortunately neither of those happened, and our current deck worked fine.
(Looks like the ever-present threat of EQs ruins stall decks eh?)
Not really. Seeing as life has a maximum 162 cards left at the end of this round, even if we win all of our next matchups, I feel no shame in throwing in the towel now and talking about our nefarious plans.
Whether or not it worked, I used a double bluff ploy on you guys several times. Instead of going pillarless like I taunted we could, life instead took three decks that were extremely pillar heavy. And lo-and-behold Earth never took earthquake. This is a strategy I employed many times.
Fearing parasites from darkness, I told one of their members we were taking a dragon rush against them, followed by a quick "you're on team death, aren't you?" We then took an adrenaline deck that would have been destroyed by parasites, only to find they took dragon killing cards instead. (Rage potion, but you know, it's not like we could have countered that, especially with fractal dead).
