I was pretty sure that fire would either use firestall or nightmares, neither of which I thought we could beat. (I was leaning towards them bringing firestall, hence the fractal deck that had a chance) Therefore our only chance was to hope they didn't :p Apologies to the other ten teams for giving fire such good salvage; I fully expect to see fire win, given that they already can salvage some other fractals this round, too.
And yeah, the 11 upgrades was because trashduke originally had +1 graviton guard for a 31 card deck, but we had to transmute to get it, and I suggested to just drop it so we didn't have to. Apparently we missed an upgrade in the confusion.
Alas team gravy. Sorry for the last minute switch around that missed another upped pend. Overall it was fun being in this war, and I'm pleasantly surprised that we didn't come in last place. Good luck to the rest of the teams - especially the two that beat us this round, I'm rooting for the fire and darkness showdown in the Finals!
