Round 8 Thoughts: https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=41241.msg510776#msg510776

As it stands right now, there will be 5 matches played next round.

4 -  :aether
3 -  :time
2 - winner of  :air vs  :fire
1 - looser of  :air vs  :fire

If "traditional" match-ups are made then:

 :aether plays:  :time x2  :air  :fire
 :time plays  :aether x2 and Winner of  :air vs  :fire

Barring they (the WM's) don't throw anything our way, I'm quizzing myself as to how we play this round....

Many possibilities...

- Play all strong,

- Play 2 to cripple  :aether and forfeit the odd match...

- Take out  :aether best deck, kill off "Winner" of  :air vs  :fire and then throw  :aether a 30 Tower deck for shit Salvage...

Any thoughts?

It's so close, guys.

Play all strong!

Ok, interesting turn of events...  :fire Fire chooses not to salvage... good call...

Prolly the best draw we could have hoped for.... our first real break. Now lets take advantage of it...

:air Air has some Sancts and 3 Miracles left in Vault, that's about all.... 35 cards... maybe we can stall them with our light deck and Eternity...

:aether Aether... well, lets throw everything we got at 'em boys.... this is what we've all been waiting for... let's win these...


Hmmm... but,  :aether does have Disco's now... maybe Sancts would work beter here...

anyways... We have to beat Aether in these two games...

Use our 2 Miracles in a deck with 2 Eternity, 1 critter, a few pends and  :light Light mark... very scant deckout deck vs  :air Air... save the heavy artillery (what little we have left) for  :aether Aether

Oh yeah...
Salvager vs  :air Air
Lt vs  :aether Aether...

Hainkarga (their  :aether Lt) will be sporting Disco's... IMO...

R8 EC is a good way to resurrect one Nymph :)

R9 EC will double punish us for the support failures :[

Aether.. I feel like we have an upper hand going into these duels... They can salvage our discos, they can get silences (maybe frogs??) from :life.

Fractix, :light duo with PU or fractal, devtal, disco bow, PUboids.

Almost sure they will try sancs vs. us to:
1. render RT spam useless (cause they will guess we bring a counter to their PUboid that demolished Pharaohs),
2. try to troll trollmare

Almost sure as well they will try disco bow. They're probably out of non-nova :entropy cards, so real duo is not an option. Mono aether with entropy mark sucks just as well cause disco will be late. Nova + mono = lots of waisted quantum. Thus rainbow hybrid - quod erat demonstrandum. They beat 2 bows R7 - plenty of perfect salvage.

For sure these are just guesses. They could try fractix, which would most likely cause huge problems on our side (slow decks with crap defence...).

What are our options? EC opens up a bit more possibilities, but I need some trainer time to answer that question...
:entropy :entropy :entropy Wooooaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr :entropy :entropy :entropy
