Unless Air goes 4-2 Light is gonna be on third. Aweshum!

wow. I wasn't expecting death to get hit that hard.

They had some really bad luck.  Mr. Blonde's deck would have won 98 times out of 100.  Unfortunately, the two other times happened twice in a row.

I know. I thought they'd go 4-5 or better

Unfortunately?   ???

Also, I'd say more like 75-80% really. Lightnings are that good.

Light played an excellent round. They beat one of our strongest decks. Not what we were expecting at all!

For me, the biggest surprise this round was Team Death.  (Undoubtedly, the same holds true for them as well.)  Coming into this round at 29-16 and going 7-2 last round, it is an understatement to say they had no signs of going 1-8.  I guess the 4th sign of the Apocalypse is over.  We'll see what shakes loose next round.

I agree, the lightnings in your deck made your wins definitely viable. Pretty much everything that went wrong went wrong. I was afraid of one horrible round and this was it. From contender to pretender. *sigh*

Useless fact update:

Of the 30 matches listed, decks using at least 1 card went 18-12 (17-11 not including suicide decks.) 
6 matches had aether cards played by both sides (so aether had to both win and lose.)
Of the matches with aether cards on only one side, the winning margin was 11-5 (excluding suicides.)

Conclusion:
1.  It's better to include aether cards than not, so pack 'em if you got 'em.

I'm curious to see a card-use frequency by round to see what the most used/over-used cards were this War.  I'm not curious enough to do it myself at this point.

Right now in these standings, the "previous records" do not add up. You have 267 total recorded victories and only 261 total recorded losses. That implies 3 losses that were instead reported as wins.

According to my numbers:

was 3-6 in Round 5, so their "previous record" in these standings should be 21-24.

was 2-3 in Round 5, so their "previous record" in these standings should be 13-25.

Making those changes corrects the standings so that there are 264 total recorded victories and 264 total recorded losses.

Oops Thanks for catching that. I'll go fix it now.

EDIT: fixed

No problem, we tend to keep, er, shall we say ... lots ... of statistics.
