Game 1

First turn Discord (3 Novas in starting hand) for him, 5 Pends for me. I stole his Discord, only to have him play another. I did get to fractal my devs, which he followed by nightmaring his Anubis. Bad draw for him, though, as he wasn't able to play any more creatures. Eventually I played a Dim Shield, got lockdown, and fractalled vamps for the win.

1 - 0

Game 2

3 Novas & Discord on first turn (again!), and I wasn't able to get even close to lockdown. In hindsight, I probably should have fractal'd my vamps instead of devs, but with only 3 open slots in my hand (clogged full of nymphs, thanks to Nightmare), it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game. 2 GotP's and an Anubis finished me off.

1 - 1

Game 3

3 pend start, no discord on turn 1. Yay! Turn 2 discord and a hand clogged with Fractals and Dim Shields. Boo! He got a decent number of creatures down and I never got enough quanta for a Fractal.

1 - 2

Game 4

Turn 2 Discord, only 3 Pends to start. Got GotP's nightmared on me, but a timely Dim Shield and stealing his Discord let me build the quanta I needed to Fractal my Vamps - got the EM.

2 - 2

Game 5

Things were really tense going into this game. I felt like a Discord/Nightmare deck was a decent counter to a Fractal deck and I just barely got by on my 2 wins. Undefeated so far this War, and my team was undefeated so far this round, so I was really worried all that would come to an end this game. So it began...

After 5 turns, I still hadn't seen a Discord. This gave me plenty of time to build up my quanta, which is so important in Devtal. I got a Dim Shield down to protect me from the inevitable Discord. This gave me time to Fractal my Vamps and get the win.

3 - 2


Epic match, one of the most fun I've ever played. Thanks for being a great opponent, inthisroom!

0-1 I had no pillar, just a few Novas that enabled me to play Discord but no creature, the rest of my quanta was quickly eaten away by his Devourers that he could fractal to tie me down completely and the game was over quite some time before the last round was played.

1-1 I got a few pillars and Discord came early enough to prevent him from playing Dim Shield to soon, I managed to play Pharaoh, Nymph and Ghosts, I spawned Scarabs as I could, used Nightmare to fill his hand and deflagged his Nightfall, barely won, probably the best and closest of the five games.

2-1 Not much to say, I had a very good hand, early Discord, good quanta and managed to rush him down pretty quickly.

2-2 The one I remember least, I believe it was pretty tight but the details elude me for now.

2-3 My hand wasn't that bad but I got no Discord at all, therefore - even though I had good quanta production and could play Nymph and Ghosts - nothing prevented him from setting up, I managed to get him down to about 30hp but then he could set up Dim Shields while I was lacking the quanta to deflag them (or it), that gave him time to fractal enough Vampires to turn the situation around.

Very well played, UTAlan, you are a good opponent in the game and in chat, it's never fun to lose but you made it a little less painful...

It was thrilling even to spectate this. This match was the greatest challenge of our 5-0 goal since the start of this round.

[Higurashi]

Nothing quite like testing paying off, eh hain?
Flawless round~

[willng3]

Heh Devtal killing Rainbows, eh?  Slightly unexpected result, a hard earned win for Aether it seems.

[Avenger]

I noticed a trend, whenever a team doesn't play Vs. Earth, their round is excellent.

Congrats on your win, Aether is the second most effective team Vs. Time.

[Sevs]

congrats to aether for having the second undefeated round of war behind gravity. very impressive

[dragonsdemesne]

Not sure how devtal beat our deck; when I tested those for our round 1 match, we had a clear advantage.  I guess stuff happens, though :p

[Higurashi]

Mostly depends on the version of the decks and draws. Testing didn't lie to us this time.

[Rember]

You're still the best, Makku~

[Calindu]

You're still the best, Makku~

This, good luck in the future!
