taker:  2
rob77dp:  1

LOST 2-1 due to going 1-0 then losing two straight (Environmental Disadvantage).  A tough environment for my Style choice and against my 1st round opponent + Game 2 illegal deck (weakness derp) + Game 3 not-as-lucky-draw = 1-0 to MATCH LOSS in 15 minutes.  "Goos-frah-bah"... /me calms self down.

NO EXCUSES!  taker won this.  I lost.  See below for decks and *brief* summaries.

Game 1 WIN

Expected Firestall.  Brought my Firestall counter (high HP focal point with swarm/building damage).  Faced Firestall.

Fairly straight-forward win.  This was the climax of the match for me.  Downhill in 3... 2... 1... ACTION!

Forfeit due to illegal deck.  My weakness states un-able to change decks until I lose a game with it.  Also, did not realize at the time how horrible and dangerous this forfeit was.

Game 3 LOSS

taker had spotted the illegal deck VERY early so I figured I could rush again.  Even if taker rushed, 30-card >> 36-card rush, right?  WRONG.  2nd turn Ghost + RT > RT > RT > RT spelled the end of my Colosseum II run due to environmental disadvantage:  lose 2 in a row and it's over.

There you have it - how NOT to perform in Colosseum matches.    Well done taker and sharp-eye on that derp game 2 by me.  Best of luck in this event going forward!

Very good games, Spielkind, too bad that you read your weakness wrong.

Game 1 - WIN because of Spielkind's illegal deck

Speedbuilt and not tested/thought through so yes, it kinda sucks. Spielkind however the part of his weakness that he could not use shields, which I saw after the game.

Mirror match basically, but I was really lucky with my Skull Shield which killed his two Recluses he had out fast.

Game 3 - LOSS (because illegal deck by me)

A very close game, if I hadn't topdecked a Bone Wall on my second to last turn, he would have won with 1 hp left.

Skull shield was great in the beginning, but his RTs stopped my Nymphs and his rush eventually killed me.

Yeah, some really back and forward about who won in these games, but good games still!

[Laxadarap]

So many illegal decks, remember you may pm me if you have any questions (I have all ready gotten a few).  There are a lot of restrictions to keep in mind.

EDIT: It looks like Fippe's last deck is illegal.  He may use 3 upped poison, but the arena specifically says creatures (not spells) and it is not in the spoilered list, so the other 3 poisons may not be upped (even with relics).  Also, as spielkind did, you only have to use a relic for every third upgrade (so you can use 5 upped cards for only 1 relic).

Game stands at Fippe94 2-1 Spielkind

[Fippe94]

Oops, I kinda forgot about that and just automatically used 6 ups and a relic like last game.

LOSS. Speedbuilt this after realising that Nymphs/Tears might be illegal and most of my decks contained one of the two. He drew 4 UGs in about half the deck so I didn't manage to kill him in time despite a few bolts freezing his Owls Eye for most of the game.

Thanks for the games Marsu. Shame about the rule confusion halfway through.
