I think we should re-use this deck from round one, it's what I used against Water and won with.

I don´t know what to use against life. The deck Dragoon used against them is good, but it´s better we change the strategy.
Well, i posted two decks in deck topic. A deck using onli time with scarabs eating and procrastination.
Or using a deck with wings.

[Xinef]

I'm sorry for my lack of activity in the past few days, but I'm quite busy with tests, assignments etc.

I wonder if we could use a wings deck against entropy. They used few dragons in their decks, Maxwells aren't much of a damage dealer, and we can counter flying discords with rewinds.

I'm just wondering, what damage source to use, and how to counter AMs, Maxwells etc. They seem to use tons of CC. Do you think a flying Eternities deck with wings could work?



We will have to field one or two earth decks. Could be EQ/graboid/BB/Titanium Shields or a mix. I guess we should use Titanium Shields against life. It blocks scorpions, and is great against frogs/cockatrices/adrenaline/staves. Water likes to use bolts, so maybe an EQ deck? BBs aren't good against life, but would be great against water. So the life deck would get more graboids then... does this sound like a great plan? On not ?


Against aether... we could try either the immolation deck once again, or maybe a darkness deck, or maybe a different fire deck... or maybe the momentum dragons...
I guess too many decks can be countered by lobos, but luckily they don't seem to use these often.


Against gravity... rewinds are quite vital to counter armagios, momentums and similar stuff... maybe we could try some aether decks with lightnings to kill chargers/mercenaries/plated otyughs? They can survive a single lightning only if they are boosted with momentum, but we will counter these with rewind first. I wouldn't expect many momentums against us, because we will certainly pack some rewinds/eternities. We can also try an entropy deck. Discords and AMs can certainly cause some havoc against gravity, forcing them to Gravity Pull their own chargers/whatever. I'm only worried about titans. These, even if held in hand, make for short games where rushing is better than stall.

We tested this against Poison, Toadfish, and Arctic Squid decks.  Seemed to work pretty well.

We can make a similar deck for Life but with Titanium Shield instead of BBs.  We'd have to tweak the Time side and pillar/pendulum ratio though.  Or we can make 2 exact decks for both Water matches.

Homework, Homework, Tests , Tests, Busy, Busy... I wont be able to make my self a deck this round

[valuka]

We have made some test with Dragoon, but i got ambivalent feelings against Gravity

I made two decks

Code: [Select]

or this

Please choose one or made a new deck, what can i play. Unfortunetly i don't have time to test to the deckbuilding phase ending.

[edunavas]

Hello

Well, these are the decks I´m making:

Code: [Select]

58s 58s 590 590 590 590 593 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rm 5rm 5rm 5ro 5ro 5rr 5rr 5rr 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2
This deck i took the Xinef and Dragoon´s suggestions by doing a deck with Titanium Shields.
or

Code: [Select]

5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rj 5rj 5rj 5ro 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rr 5rr 5rr 5rs 5rs 5rs
I created this deck, the intention is to delay the creatures with Procrastination and them eat their creatures with scarabs

[Dragoon]

Maybe, edunavas, you can use a Fractal Scarab deck.  I think it could be faster than using Pharaohs.

Maybe something like this?

Code: [Select]

576 576 576 576 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rj 5rj 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5rq 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 622 622 622 622 622
If you went with your second deck or this deck, than we could use basically the same two decks for Water.

Btw, we're down to about 24 hours.  We need some decks folks.

[Xinef]

I'm quite busy today, and right now I'm learning for a test, so I won't be able to help much, but I'll show a few hours before the deadline to make sure everything is finished, no matter how tested/well-designed it is.
