BATTLE MAY COMMENCE!  Congratulations!
You may post the results and decks in this thread.

Friendly Reminders:
  • If you have talent thief or copycat, choose before your battle and inform your opponent.  There is no reason to pm me, just include it when you post your decks.  I encourage you to send early on, in your first scheduling pm.  This gives your opponent time to plan.
  • If you win and you send in your strength, then make sure that you copy/paste the entire strength "Tough: You are defeated when you lose one additional duel."  Also, make sure the word "strength" is in the title or in the body of the message, or there is a chance I will miss it.
  • If you have a question about a deck legality, please send me a pm, I will be glad to answer it.  Whether I am in chat and I see it, or if it is forum PM, asking me is a lot safer than fielding illegal decks.  I am here to help you guys :)

Name:Calindu
Style:Midnight Denizen - Steal, Skull Shield, Minor Vampire, Cloak
Strengths:+ Attuned: When you use only cards from one element in your deck, you may use 6 more upgraded cards.
+ Brutish: You may use an additional six upgraded cards in every deck.  Choose one extra Weakness.
+ First Blood: In the first two matches you may use 5 additional upgraded cards (refreshes against new opponents).
+ Intimidating: Your opponent must use six less upgraded cards.  Choose an extra weakness.
+ Tough: You are defeated when you lose one additional duel.
Weaknesses:- Unfocused: You may only use 3 copies of any style card used in your deck.
- Crybaby: You may use 6 copies of Nymph's Tears in every deck, but must not use Fire cards.
- Coward: When facing an opponent, if he/she can use more upgrades than you (in the 1st game) you lose access to all non-starting strengths (for the duration of the round).  Ex.  Player A can use 3 upgrades in the first game.  Player B can use 6 upgrades in the first round.  Player A has coward.  Player A loses all strengths except for starting strength while playing Player B.
- Stupid: Every other opponent bested doesn't earn you a strength.

 
--Final Arena--   :light :death
Arena Elements: choose one element from your starting arena. Both you and your opponent can use that element as an Arena Element.Overview: a simple arena in the middle of the world's largest city.

Got a bad quanta start, but drew loads of early Poison which made it easier, drew 2 dragons too and outdamaged him.

I predicted he may reuse the game 2 deck, with more upgrades, nope, he instead came with a monodeath rush and won after a bonewall.

This stall is good, BW stalled him a long time and always had a miracle in hand if it's needed.

Ggs Dragoon!

Dragoon 1 - 4 Calindu

Game 1 - Loss

Thought I might face a NT or Death rush. BBs for NTs, which destroy BWs, and BWs for Death rushes. But no, he played a Light stall instead. Though BBs slowed his Nymphs down for a while, Miracle gave him enough life to outlast my BBs and BWs.

Game 2 - Loss

This does decently against Death rushes as long as they a) don't get a perfect 5-turn-win draw or b) draw a huge amount of Poison early on. B happened. I still could've won probably if I had drawn one of my other Miracles though.

I forgot to use my +4 bonus for Revenge which would've helped too.

I had a good start, but unfortunately we de-synced. We both won against our AIs (though he said that he barely won). In the rematch, he rushed hard and beat me after Miracle-ing once.

I used 8 Towers instead of Pillars for my bonus.

Game 4 - Win

Finally won a game. Death rush vs. death rush. The one with Bone Walls wins!

I thought he might play one of his Light semi-stalls. So I went with BWs and BBs again. Wrong deck. Way too few creatures to eat through Bone Walls . . . and Sancts . . . and Miracles. Game over.

Great games Calindu. You are the superior gladiator and player. Congrats.
