Matches are best-of-five. The first player who wins 3 individual duels, wins the match.
- Players have (almost) 6 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both.
- If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time.
- You may only use cards from your Vault, in addition to Pillars, Pendulums, and Mark Cards. You may use any mark.
- The number after your name represents the number of upgrades you may use. These upgrades apply to every deck you play this round.
- You may change your deck during the match. If the match lasts 5 games, you are allowed to use up to 5 different decks, as long as they are all legal.

After duels, all players must submit their results and decks to this thread.

Round 4 has ended.

[RootRanger]

This is quite an exciting round! The highest ranked player with a perfect 9-0 record, Submachine, is up against the leading "Scaryness" player, Jen-i, who achieved an impressive 8-3 record without using a single upgrade in the first three rounds. But this time, Jen-i has 6 upgrades, just as many as his opponent. Will Submachine's impeccable 9-0 record finally be shattered?

The other two players with 9 wins, CCCombobreaker and Afdarenty, are playing a crucial match against each other! Afdarenty managed to win all three of his previous matches against opponents with more upgrades, but will CCCombobreaker's aggressive 6-card Sacrifice be too much for Afdarenty to handle?

With the top 4 players all paired up against each other, this is truly a monumental round. Not only do the highest ranked players get the chance to demolish their closest competitors, but the lower ranking players have the opportunity to make up for lost ground. But only 12 of the remaining 20 players will qualify for the next round. How will things turn out this time?

[Submachine]

The player with the highest rank against the player with the highest scaryness. What is this I don't even -

This went badly for me because he quaked away all my quanta sources long enough to rush me down, plus he was able to burst four shriekers in a single turn onto me, and I could only devour 2, letting him then burrow the other 2.

This was a manic and insane match, with SoFos flying everywhere and Otys frantically trying to get bigger than each other to survive.  Eventually won thanks to some GP madness, but it was a hilarious game.

Faire smashy-smash!

By which I mean he used his pulvy to smash my catapults and wardens to delay my attackers en route to quanta starving me by smashing all my quanta.  It was an extremely well played game for him.

A lucky counter for me, since his deck planned to BB aggressively.  Got a little quanta starved by his quakes, but held out.

THE MONO is one of the scariest decks in the world to face.  If you don't agree, you've never seen it.  A low quanta opening draw made me think I was a goner, but a couple key topdecks of lightning, combined with Dm never drawing a Black Hole meant that I had time to get out 3 SoWed Immortals and win by a single turn.  A last turn BH would have ended me.

Spoiler for Final score and final remarks:

theelkspeaks 3-2 Dm1321

What an excellent match it was, and very very well played.  10 upgrades is a pretty significant advantage, but Dm made me fight hard for every game.  A very long hat tip to Dm and very well played.  You're an awesome player and a pretty cool person.

Pretty much hard countered. Was expecting kind of a water stall, cause drippy had to beat that Mono Water deck. So I decided a creatureless deck.
