Round 5 - Salvaging, Discarding, Penalties and Converting

[LifeLockable]

yeah the gold dragons just fill our deck with uselessnes unless we get some quantum to use them with...that cost as much as miracle which I would rather have from that deck...I'd take the two miracles and two Reverse times and maybe one dragon so we have our backup for the OTK deck

[phaedrus]

I would be ok with 1 dragon for the OTK I guess.
I figure it wouldn't do much good though.
There just isn't anything else to salvage from that deck really.

Basically, I think we can to prepare an immo-rush response bow (hopefully) and a strong denial bow in addition to the OTK and the air/death.
Does anyone know if we get to play 5 decks or just 4?

[LongDono]

Ok we play 5 games so we need 5 decks, even though we have enough to field 7.
We need to build a 5th deck. This 5th deck should take down Aether.
Also gravity wont be an issue next round.
we play 5 matches, so far there are 4 teams that we have no played and 1 of them can only play like 1 deck next round. ( gravity. )
We WILL have to play Aether!
I believe we also have to play entropy!
Unless someone else gets gravity I doubt we will play them.

[Sevs]

has anyone made an inventory of the extra cards we had left over that were not used in the deck?

[phaedrus]

No I don't think anyone has Sevs.
I can live without, but if someone could do that it would be helpful.

Glad we get to play 5.
Working on decks now.

On a slightly different note, I think we should consider dismantling the DOTK.
Lots of useful cards in there, so if theres no good match up for it then I think its a no brainer.

[LongDono]

I agree.
We will have those 3 main decks, then 2 rainbow decks? Lets work on our salvage being cards that help out those 2 rainbows, and the 5 cards we choose to keep from each of the 4 decks should also be selected with that same reason.

[LifeLockable]

yeah...I think that dismantling the DOTK is a good idea...they will be expecting it...though it is good vs life, and time (no perma control typically)....so we might be able to use it one more time

[LongDono]

We can always put it back together in later rounds if things go well.

[phaedrus]

Here are 3 deck ideas that I'm about 90% sure we could use next round.
They could be strong with the right matchups.

Anti-rush. Could be used with no sundials. Also, a mummy would maybe be nice.

Anti-rush lacks momentums or PC, and RT and BB make for mediocre CC. Doesn't feel like a very strong deck, maybe the Nightmares could shift the balance of the match. The dials also seem useless when you doing damage with creatures only (even though they benefit by growing).

Luciferin looks good, sanctuaries are win. Maybe put the dials here? Also, -1 Miracle, + quints or some PC? Also needs Hope or Fog.

FFQ feels really awkward with unuped Pandas and so many creatures on your side, maybe dismantle it altogether?
My 0.2€, there are better players to make up our decks XD

[ShiningSword]

Anti-rush needs some momentums.
I believe we can make a good denial with those discords, EQ and devos, maybe putting it together with the GotPs, nightmares and the RTs.
We have enough arsenic/poison, so we should take the splashable parts of that earth deck.
An important question, how many pillars do we have(decks need pillars, at least since we didnt salvage any immos)?

[Aitvaras]

The vault shown in vault topic right now is what we would have without our salvage and cards not discarded.

It would take me just a bit to much time to tell exactly what extra cards we have left but anyone willing to dig deeper into the salvaging strategy should find this temporary vault helpfull.

I dont realy have to much to add, except we might want to convert cards to quantum pillars if we dont salvage any quanta cards!

if we would keep the 4 winning decks intact we'd have remaining:
2 nova
1 fire pendulum
1 aether pendulum

doesnt quite make a deck!

total:
18 quantum pillar
9 nova
3 immolation
3 aether pendulum
10 death pendulum
2 fire pendulum
4 burning pillar
