Really sir? i mean look where your luck ahs led you in the first 7 rounds... :P
Luck is not an excuse for out success. You are ignoring multiple components:

- A great starting strategy
- Great management in each round. We lose almost no time deciding whether a set of decks is legal or not, and we have a good view on all possible deck-building options and salvage.
- Despite point 2, we finish deck-building 10 minutes before the deadline. We use all the given time to find the optimal solution for each round.
- Even when we find it, we test our decks for hours.
- Thanks to our many wins, we could salvage ~40 cards each round, that gave us huge adaptation ability.
- Most of our loses come from bad luck (of course not all).
- Most of our wins come from good strategy (of course not all again).
- We have very skilled players.
- If someone does not feel skilled enough, but the strategy forces him to play it, we train the player as long as necessary and draw conclusions.
- We were successfully hiding useful cards in our vault for a long time. That allowed to surprise our opponents.
- Other teams revealed almost everything about their vault.
- We don't whine, when we are at disadvantage but we find solutions to our problems (believe it or not, fighting multiple Generals in a round is problematic)
- If a solution does not exist.. only then we resort to luck.

I need a ruling.

How do I rank :earth vs :light? According to last war, it was by the number of cards left in the vault at the end of the round they are eliminated in. If this still holds true, :earth beats :light, as I have it listed now.

But... I personally think this is an unfair ruling noting that :light was in a much better position at the beginning of the round.

I want to keep it official, so just point me in the right direction.

Why?
GG means, that they get a bye, in a sense bye bye from War.

I would not be so sure.

It seems to me that this is just a tad inconsistent with what the ruling was for :air 's match with the voodoo glitch.

Just saying.

Light is 12th, officially. It'll always be first for me though.

How's it 12th, if both :death and :gravity have fewer cards than :light? 10th, yes, 9th, possibly. But I don't see 12th.

So, technically, if one ends with their vault at 29 cards, they are guaranteed 2th or 3rd.
