Round 1

[PlayerOa]

What can send as a counter to Pharaohbow? Can we counter that?

Grabbow/Immorush are the most obvious counters. RT takes those down. A mono fire rush might also fare well, but disco can cause problems.

So, we will field something like this?

UGDials
slimstall
grabboquake
ghostal
pharaohbow
mono

Assuming we do, and the decks we send are:

Then the relevant in-element cards that we might be short on are:

Factory 7 + 3 + 9 + 7 = 26/26
Pendulum 10 + 13 + 8 + 10 + 7 = 48/41
Ghost 2 + 5 + 1 + 6 = 14/15
Sundial 6 + 6 = 12/15
Hourglass 3 + 3 + 2 = 8/12
Reverse Time 2 + 3 = 5/15
Eternity 2 + 2 + 2 = 6/6

Off-element cards seem to check out, but it looks like we are going to have to convert some cards to Pendulums. 7 in fact (3 dials, 1 Nymph, 1 Mark, 2 Pharaohs comes to mind).

[andretimpa]

Lets first check if nothig is overquanta'd. We could still swap some pillars/pendulumns for some RT. I think we should try to at least keep the nymph and the pharaohs (but maybe 6 of each is indeed too much).

I'm still not sure if reflectives are a safer choice than procrastination for slimstall.

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Less quanta would hurt both the speed, and with it the win rate of decks (especially when they have hourglasses/nymphs it's hard to have too much quanta). Besides, the cards (other than Sundial) that I mentioned are cards we have 6 of, meaning we can transmute salvage back into them at any time later (neat thing about this war, though this transmutation is definitely limited and shouldn't be relied on too much).
