Shard of Focus, making an OTK like a boss.  Is there anything it can't do?

This deck kept spamming congeals and SoD. Despite a miracle, a squid, and some other damage, I won straight through it.

No screens, just a story. Was playing Silver with SoSe/SoFobow still trying to finish up my shard collection (only one missing is SoW, and after countless and countless special spins (+70k score later) I still have no more than 3 of them). 4th game against RoL/Hope which can be a pain in the ass considering I don't run Otyugh or any mass CC spells.

Opponent's field was quickly filled with 16 RoL's and my damage output was then nullified. I Mindgated a RoL and a Hope for myself too so I wasn't in danger of dying but I was still doing 0 damage. Got Pharaoh from SoSe about mid game and was stuck @ 8 Time quanta for a few turns until I could play it. I Mindgated a couple of Fractals and got some serious Scarab action on. I Devoured with all my might but the Fractaled RoL's seemed endless, more and more just were summoned as I battled them.

I was going to deck-out but I managed to cut down the fields of RoL with my Scarabs down from 13 to 3 on my second to last turn. My Scarabs had gained quite a lot of attack already due to all the devouring but still the 3 damage reducing Hope was about to ruin my game. I was missing only 7~ dmg on my last turn, but I could devour some of my own RoL's and make some room for more Scarabs. I won by exact damage in the end, 23 turns later. Glad I didn't use that Hourglass of mine

I really wish you could thumbs up decks that you beat.  Was playing against xeresis I think and he was running a quartet (eff yeah).  It was essentially a water deck with fire pends at first so I was expecting steamies.  He got a 2nd turn toadfish and then purified my poison counters (I was using poisondials and had used 1 deadly poison at that moment).  I'm thinking... Crap, hard counter.  I topdeck and arsenic, figuring I atleast have a chance at this.  Next turn ai plays permafrost, and I'm thinking crap.  At this point the ai has out a couple abyss crawlers, as well as aether and fire pends, so it gets out an aether nymph, and a fire nymph (tears), starts raging the crawlers.  I play sosac, figuring I got this.  Then SoP shows up.  I'm  here doing 3 damage a turn, trying to stall with sosac, when the opponent can very easily otk me.  The only damage getting through was 5 poison counters.   I end up sosacing, not healing at all, Drawing all 3 sod's and getting to about 70 hp.  I sosac again, the poison gets me back up to 42 hp, and I sosac.  Then I stall with dials for like 3 turns and win.  Didn't Screenshot it, but it was 23 poison damage on 22 hp with 4 29 attack crawlers, and like 2 10+ attack nymphs.  The SoP never dropped for 9 turns, and I dialed in the middle of it.  Sosac is obviously OP.  Even with no healing it still gives 2 turns of stalling.  I wasn't even paying attention to the toadfish or steamy.  Fantastic match.

EDIT: Won an eagle's eye off that matches special spin too.

This is my favorite thread in the entire forum, we shouldn't let it die ;D

Today was the day of the upped marks.
First a wild pikachu appears with upped water marks:


Next game, Antagon with atleast 1 upped fire mark wich I have stolen to feel like a pro for a few moments o.o

[dragonsdemesne]

Five marks of water?  That would mean he owns at least three... I had just run into another one of his arena decks where he played a couple marks of aether and several aether nymphs, and I was trying to figure out how he got those marks when his profile has no tourney/league wins.

Also, nice on stealing the upped mark of fire   I remember doing that to theonlyrealbeef once.  I had stolen a couple of his marks of darkness and mindgated a few more.  I was pretty mad when I missed the screenshot win due to his dusk shield failing kinda hard :p

edit: hmm... I just faced that aether deck again not five minutes after making this post... and the name was pikachu with some numbers on the end.  Now I'm really confused... :p

[Wizy]

Well reward codes can be used on any account so I guess one of these is an alt.
so sick

[furballdn]

Or the arena duplication bug. But that would mean that he still had to have at least 2.

[pikachufan2164]

That screenshot is not of my deck; I only have 1 precious Mark of Aether (do note that a 2nd place finish in tournaments now gives a Mark). Also, no, I don't have any alt accounts in Platinum.

[Wizy]

I hid part of the name in case it was your alt and you didn't want to make it public for some reason o.o
The name was [suspicious]pikachulhupant[/suspicious].

So, I had just gotten unupped bonestorm (with 2 upped bonewalls that I have)to beat Eternal Phoenix, my oracle prediction, and had gone to the arena to make my arena deck. While not paying attention, I clicked on platinum league and figured "Can't hurt to try, right?" I was against someone running Druids-Discord-SoFo (Opsinius or similar)

Things were going, well, pretty obviously poorly. I managed, however, to kill 2/3 SoFo's I saw before they could get past 1HP. Bonewalls helped me stall. I actually got knocked down to 1HP and tossed up my last shield. And then the AI goofed. It generated a singularity. And the singularities healed me up and kept me going. And the AI didn't use it's Druids to mutate the singularities. I thought maybe, just maybe I might win. With 0 cards in my deck, the AI finished itself off and gave me an EM. And that's how I won my first Platinum Arena match tonight.

Spoiler for proof:
