Round 5 - Strategy

[Neopergoss]

Looks like I've been preempted a little bit. I'll quote tttt and add some comments. I'll have more time later, have to go for now.

Before we enter battle I wanted to say I'm proud to be in the team!

These are our battles this round (R5):
Gen. LongDono   vs    Kamietsu -- earth has a lot of cards and could throw something unexpected at us. I'm a little worried about BH + EQ, but they haven't used BH yet. Looking at their vault, the biggest threats seem to be graboid/immo rush and light stall.
Neopergoss   vs    Gen. RavingRabbid -- low risk of PC, stalling, or quanta denial, with the exception of trident. Most likely to rush us or to use poison. Maybe we should take purify.
Lt. Sevs   vs    Onizuka -- Again, a large vault so almost anything is possible. Darkness is unlikely to have mass CC so having a large number of creatures in our attack is good.
LifeLockable   vs    RootRanger -- They might use EQ so maybe to be safe we could include some novas. Low risk, though. Almost no PC. We might want to bring the enchant artificats in the OTK because EQ could really wreck it otherwise.
Gen. wizelsnarf   vs    phaedrus -- Earth/time is generally perfect for life. BB's not so much but reverse time and titanium shield and earthquake all plow life. Maybe take out some BBs because of adrenaline.
catalyzeme   vs    Aitvaras -- They used 12 RT's in R3, so that is a risk. If they go immo rush without RT, though, the trap deck will ream them, and that pretty likely. They haven't used any kind of firestall at all so far.
The Mormegil   vs    ShiningSword -- they have wings, so use flying creatures? I need to do more recon but they recently used a deck with dim shields that our FFQ deck would really be perfect for. Will revisit this later, if there is time.
Lt. kevkev60614    vs    tttt --

  Actually, if i had to guess i would think of a light/water stall(denial scares everybody).
  will most likely throw something weird at us, so i would pack something that goes through shields.
  A few enchants in the OTK are always welcome.
  whatever they use, it will be powerful. Immo gives for lots of splash CC.
  i have the feeling im forgetting a deck type right now, i also have the feeling they will use that one.
  Im blank, just blank. I just hope they use something with lots of creatures if im going to use the pande deck against them.
  No offence to life, but their options are a little narrowed down. Pack something against mitosis.
  If they dont light stall we should get this one.

Good luck to all.

I updated the darkness vault and we know over 300 of their cards. they also tend to use a lot of repeat decks. and probably have back ups for the ones they have lost. if you take out devtal they will either use a novabow, some sort of dragon ish stall or a full on miracle stall. problem with the last one is the liquid shadows they use for cc in that deck. which is the bane of immo rushes. with grabbies burrowed and an all out attack in a turn should solve that problem though.

i would have have 2 enchant artifacts in the DOTK just in case that run a novabow

for water they used two poison decks (one lost )last round and have plenty of toadfishes. i would def. bring purify. most of their decks are cc heavy(shockwave , poison, icebolt) be careful with the grabs

against life your deck looks just right. but watch the stall, they had a firebolt or icebolt stall a few rounds back and idk if it is still floating around.

for long maybe a second arsenic should be upped if one flies, because earth has titanium shields which would make unnuppped arsenic useless.

yeah I love the dragon OTK...it destroys life rushes...and any deck without perma control or quantum control...I havent lost with it yet xD

[phaedrus]

Ya basically I'm good to go unless they play this deck.

Early discord wins. Don't know if they'll risk that.

Other bad situation would be if they bring thorns.

[LongDono]

Good to see everyone making plans. I am a little busy today and I have to play Ddevens ( lol a warmaster ) in a dogpit battle at 2PM CST time today so I am going to relax and not think of element until afterwards. ( I dont like to second guess myself before a battle, once I figure someone out I trust myself. Only a once I have second guessed myself and I paid the price. )

Lt. kevkev60614    vs    tttt -- ? ? ?

Halp XD

[phaedrus]

Did you see the deck tweaks sevs and I came up with tttt?

If not, here is the option that is looking the strongest at the moment.

I have a question:
Who is going to be our tactical point?
You know, the guy that discards 50 cards if he loses.

@all
I'm not sure who should take point at all.
Still thinking.

@Life,
If you want 12 pillars then we are going to have to convert vault card and I don't know how to do that.
Also not sure that Long would go for it.
Also, I think the pends are necessary.
