Round 2 Strategy

[inthisroom]

I've tried the Pharaoh Farm and Ghostal vs light decks with bripod tonight and I'm not totally satysfied with these decks.

Pharaoh Farm was utterly defeated by a single Solar Shield, Ghostmare seemed a little more promising but wasn't totally convincing either.

I tried to go on trainer coming home this morning after work but it was down, I know there's not much time left but I really need to go to bed now.
There are 12 1/2 hours left before deck building phase ends, I'll be on again in five or six hours to think about and discuss further options, if anyone has an idea until then, don't hold back.

Oh yeah, Val and Manuz were testing a mod of Val's Grabbow w/EQ vs FireStall earlier... looked promising... something like:

Quanta deprivation seemed to slow FS down quite a bit...

I'm not sure if I have the correct code... tried to remember it from his post...

This is the deck, but i still have to test it with the addition of the 2 Eternities.

I feel that this deck can do it, but i have to test it agaist rushes as well... maybe it will also need more quanta.

Sorry for not posting it earlier and make you worry about the deck against water, DD, but I've already been testing it in the last few days and settled for 3 options this if nothing else changes:

These are a basic ghostal and the same deck with 1 dragon instead of a 2nd ghost, in case water decides to use a similar strategy to earth on rd1. My only fear is deckout if they use the sanct/miracle/ice shield stall, since they can freeze the Eternity. It wins more often than loses, but sometimes it wins at the very last card or two in the deck with a frozen Eternity. Adding a dragon bypasses wings, but the deck really starves for quanta when you have to fractal them.
Good against: water/light stall, water rush, water/air stall (the dragon version)
Bad against: trident denial, poison

After testing it a while, I also think this is a good alternative, specially if they bring a stall, since the upped ghost dmg/cost ratio is very good and it's always nice to check how many miracles they have in hand with precog. It can't do anything about wings, but the dmg output is more consistent and wins much easier against the water/light stall. Since it uses nymphs, if anyone else is taking them I'll go with the 1st one instead.
Good against: water/light stall, water rush
Bad against: trident denial, poison, water/air stall

[10 men]

I like dd's suggestion for the Life matchup, but as bjessee does not have Time Nymphs he will switch position with valuka and play against gravity instead.

[10 men]

I entered the following decks to our war sheet:
10 men - Entropy duo (with discord)
dd - NovaGraboids
valuka (against Life) - Wing Stall with Nymphs
bripod - Ghostmare
bjessee (against Gravity) - Aether duo with Lightnings
ffun - Ghostal
inthisroom - Ghostal
Manuz - DiscoTime (with Novas)
