If anyone has been doing testing, please post your feedback about what decks you feel were best for you.  Post stats as well if you can.  This way we can try to match the best decks up against each opponent.

[TStar]

Testing against Gravity:
* Immo deck (upped Golems, Deflags, Immo) went 8-2 against R3 Discord/BH.  Losses mainly due to either a terrible draw or AI getting 3-5 very early BHs.  Many close games so against a real person or a more optimized DBH deck results might be closer to 50/50.  When I tested against their fully optimized DBH from round 1 I got obliterated badly.  I don't think this is a good choice against Gravity since they will probably bring BH against us.
* U Mad? CC stall (upped Sancs, Stilettos, and QPs) totally wrecks both the optimized and R3 DBH versions.  Quanta regens too fast for BH to totally shut it down and the damage comes out too slow to really make a difference by overrunning the Sanc/Dagger/Heal/DL healing.

[AngelMusti]

i'm up for dragonbow if possible gonna check other decks soonish will give more favor decks against the next duel / air element

[Rember]

Poisonbow 5-0 vs BoneBolt, AI fails pretty hardcore at playing though. I added a purify to the skeleton, 2 might not be a bad idea.

[furballdn]

I think I want to use the dragonbowOTK vs light seeing as they rely mostly on archangels and don't have much PC.
Testing dragonbowOTK vs light's previous decks...
vs fire stall 2-1
vs parallel angels 2-0
vs water/ice duo 2-1

The times that I've lost were either due to luck, or me making a stupid mistake. Overall, this deck is very nicely matched against the decks Light used last time. It takes a bit of getting used to for putting down sundials and precogs and discarding cards, but I think I've gotten used to it now that I've played with it a bit. (early enemy weapon or huge cluttered hand will be its downfall)

Maybe replace some freeze with purify just in case light is running poison stall?

Deck code from something Angel cobbled together earlier:

Also furballdn, why do you never come into Team UW chat?

[TStar]

Just a reminder that we have 1 day and 18 hours left to decide on deck so post your thoughts ASAP if you want them heard.

[TStar]

Also, it seems someone is using War decks for BL matches, and worse yet BL matches against players from other teams.  War decks are for War, not your goddamn league games so get your head outta your ass and don't play them there, or mods of them, or anything even remotely resembling them.  We busted our ass to make good decks, and letting the other teams see them before they face them just ruins the main advantage we have.

[DarkArk]

so far some variant of the discord/eq deck works but angels deck would probably work the best with some alterations, but against earth its pretty much a crapshoot with luck playing a larger role than it should, that said the 2 main weaknesses of ether so far are speed and power so any ideas in regards to what i can do to improve either would be greatly appreciated.

this match is gonna be a tough one

[TStar]

You can try testing with upped pendulums to try and increase speed but that will severely limit the power of the deck with unupped golems.  Maybe we can steal a few creatures from other decks to try and boost the power output.  What sort of tweaks to Angel's deck would you suggest?

[DarkArk]

currently i am testing it with -steal, purify, reflect shield, forest spirit, 2 BH and 1 qt pillar  +3 supernova +2 fog shields and +3 precognition, and  i just realized precog was part of the dragonbow so that probably wont work but it does have the best results so far at least vs the AI

edit: switched to testing the wings deck adding 2 EA's and it seems to stand a chance with a good enough draw will continue testing
