- 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.

Can we place bets on the winner and the score he'll get?

You can, but there won't be any rewards

I think Jen's going to win 3-0 or 3-1, with the 1 loss to rng. I think there's a deck paper can't really beat.

I bet it's the relic spam

I can't wait to see if Jen will dare to use Relic for good luck or if he will chicken on that (he already said he is a chicken).  No matter what, if he loses he can blame relic for being in play or not being used.
I also wonder what deck I can't beat... please don't tell it before it's over though.  As of now I havent tested much but I believe I have at least a small chance against everything I can figure.  So I'd call it 3-2 for Jen.. 1 victory for me and 1 from RNG.

RELIC POWER!!!

Poor draw for paper was matched by a 2 quanta draw for me. He opened early with a Fog Shield which contributed further to slowing my deck. But Angels are highly resistant to OE damage and BB shuts down his only other offence and Fog Shield does fail on occasion. I took longer than I wanted but a win did come in the end. I drew my relic in my opening hand and played it on the last turn to drain all my quanta!

Game #2 = Win

Excellent starting draw for me had me 2 Angels by turn 3. Messy quanta draw for paper saw him play only an OE and a Wings all game. Seven turns to victory! The first draw from my deck was my Relic! - I again played it on the final turn for giggles.

Solid draw for me again, vs another early Fog. But I had a plethora of BB's awaiting his dragons and my creatures are rather hard to kill. Though between EE and Shockwave he did manage to finish a few Angels this game. But it was too little to late. No Relic this time makes Jen sad

[mrpaper]

Well I didn't expect to win... and Jen gave me no chance to surprise him!

  I hoped he switched deck as I had no great deck to offer vs that... he didn't, my wings were a waste and so was this game for me!

  By then I figured he wouldn't change deck at all so I tried to build for killing angels but it's not that efficient as the final result show.

ggs Jen-I and congrats on the win!

[Jen-i]

Rooty - my heartfelt thanks for putting on such a fantastic, smooth flowing, and as far as I saw Drama-Free Event!

Kudos!

To all my opponent's thanks for the matches - it was lots of fun!

[dragonsdemesne]

y u no use upped relic?  so much better...

[Jen-i]

probably - but using relic was scary enough to start with - I didn't have the courage to jump in all the way

[Submachine]

I expected monolight from Jen (because that's already something that paper couldn't deal with lol), but then I was only 25% wrong. ^^"
