I had to sub this round for DD because he couldn't find his nymphs for this deck.

For the 1st time ever, I was very happy to see a gravity mark and know :earth would be playing their pulvy grab deck. Our deck had a great chance of winning against it, but MartyrX's horrible RNG on all three rounds made it even easier, although I honestly would've liked better if he had decent hands, as it is not fun to win or loose in this way.

First match MartyrX had lots of burrowed grabs, but the novas didn't seem to arrive for him to evolve them (and, even then, I had a couple of RT waiting in hand). That gave me a clear road to play my critters to outrush him. 1-0

In the second match MartyrX got a horrible hand and no pillar for 3(?) rounds. That slowed him way too much for any real competition, even though BBing my 2 nymphs and playing an early fog shield were a bit annoying. 2-0

On the 3rd round it seemed like a joke... he also got a bad pillar start while I was flooded with pillars. But definitely his hand was much, much worse than mine. Nymphs gave me a great card advantage as well, and again it was an easy win. When he finally got the quanta to try something, he was almost dead. 3-0

It's great to finally win vs :earth, but unfortunately not the most fun matches to play. Tough luck for you MartyrX, and thanks for the games!

While it would still make sense for Time to sub, this is a good reason why sub penalties should still be around, as they weren't this round.  A 6 card difference probably wouldn't have caused Time to not take this deck, but to be able to sub without penalty seems a bit wrong, since it is a rule in place for the entire rest of the event.  Perhaps this belongs in the feedback thread instead, but thought it was worth mentioning, nonetheless.

Congrats to team Time, you guys finally got that Pulvy out of your butt.

If i understood correctly, its not a penalty sub, its just no salvage. So, with 0 salvage this round, there was no danger. Although yeah, it was a pretty nice move.

My rectum was still smarting from my other earth match and I couldn't bear to sit down on my sore butt for an hour for this match, so I sold all 12 of my time nymphs, forcing ffun to sub for me.

4 Chrono-Nymphettes - I am jealous. This deck choice (and sub) was a nice move for team Time (exploiting its possibility to a new level). Also a little revenge against team Earth doesn't hurt. Congrats.

Yes. In the old wars the salvage was never reduced to 0, so the wording worked. With all those new ideas it's good to have a penalty of 3 cards for subbing (maybe a general penalty, but always full salvage??)

This substitution was well within the rules, but it just feels dirty :earth!
