This was... unexpected.

As you can see, this deck is made from what was left in the Vault. I was against the idea of fielding such deck against Entropy, as we couldnt afford to lose Poisons, and looking at the remaining Vaults, Entropy is one of the rare teams that can easily stop this deck. I seriously though there was NO WAY we'll get favorable matchup here. But then, Entropy used creature control deck, with next to none airborne creatures (Maxwells died to shockwaves).
So full props to MrBlonde for this bold decision.
Draws didnt matter much, useless darkness pendulums didnt matter much. As soon as Wings were up, game was decided, so there's no real need for game per game description. What happened in both games is Wings up, shockwave on Maxwells, poison kills.

I can't say I entirely remember why we decided to play Reverse Time against Death. Temporary craziness perhaps? Hard to say.
Unfortunately I didn't draw Discord early in either game ... a bit unlucky as that could easily have given me the win. Nonetheless it's pretty hard to beat a Wings deck with Reverse Time creature rush. A bad choice on our part.
Good games Malduk.

Congratulations to :death for the deck choice.

I didn't realize you only had 4 Wings in that deck. How lovely that you had 3 or 4 of them in your first 15 cards both games. Even with this bad matchup we actually could have won. Oh well ... I guess we'd better offer a nicer sacrifice to the RNG next time beforehand.

That had nothing to do with RNG. Wings last for 5 turns, I had only 1 in starting turns in both games. I played only 2 in the second game. Its really NOT hard to pull 1 out of 4 in first few turns.

Wow...
you won with this crappy deck :o
Gratz Malduk, good job :D
-
Wow. Incredible. I, too, thought it might be a bad idea to play a quasi-suicide when there were some cards we could keep from it.
This is why MrBlonde is the Master. 8)

Excellent! Congratulations on this win, Malduk. 2-0, no less. Remember kids: poison kills.
I wonder: Did those 3 extra cards for SV screw up his chances of an early Discord? The world will never know....
-
Ugh. Ahh. Wow. Crazy stuff.

Huzzah! Well this is a nice treat to come home and see that the huge gamble worked out. Definitely one of those "you look like a genius" or "you look like an idiot" moment. Ironically this hodge podge of a deck, out of all our match-ups with entropy, probably had the best chance of winning on a consistant basis. I see 9 dead cards in their deck and even an early discord can't stop this deck from getting 4 air quanta forever and once wings comes out this deck pretty much wins. I know Val said they got RNG unlucky but this deck should come out on top the majority of times. I'm sure they expected graboids hence the RT's.
High risk, high reward moment for us as this netted us 36 invaluable cards at this point.

Meh ... a bad choice on our part. I'm not sure I can think of another deck we could play (of the 20) that would have lost. This is the only deck we have with no PC, no poison, no denial and no flying creatures. Bad luck. Mostly bad decision though.

Won't deny we got lucky with the match-up. Pretty much the only deck we would be the favorite against. Like i mentioned last night to you i thought we had a 10-20% chance of beating whatever deck you fielded. Anyhow this loss doesn't make a dent in Entropy and a win is really only for bragging rights for y'all as you're smashing everyone else this round.

That said, it was clever to make a deck that had a chance of winning in the right circumstances. One makes one's own luck ... you guys did a good job of that. Congrats for the win.

You're right, I almost forgot...

There, fits nicely in the collection. Girls will love it. 8)

Lol well Death now has the best record of all teams against Entropy. You're only 1 game below 50%. :)

I hereby nominate the members of Team Death to recieve a Medel of Honor for their cunning, strength and the courage to stand up to the face of adversity, and win! Congratz guys. To both participants, a match well played. Way to go!

13 pillars, 3 Discords, 2 Antimatters down.....how many to go?

Actually they can save 3 cards from that.
By my count, Entropy has less than 26 discords! (Although, I may have forgotten to factor in the propaganda bonus.)

Do we get a suicide deck with death cards in it for this?
