every non-pillar/pend
transmute:
2 lightning to 2 reverse time
spoils:
2 Arsenic
2 Bone Wall
2 Pharaoh

Remaining wishlist based on what I typed in last round's thread:
0-3 Electrum Hourglasses, 1 Arsenic and ~18 quanta generators for fielding PDials/EQ splash + Pharaohbow + Ghostmare + Ghostal. Recommend ~12 more quanta generators for each additional deck we are forced to field in round 9+.

Everything, but 3 frogs, to convert them.

Everything but 2 ghosts and 2 Nightmares

This way we will have 6 RTs (after transmutes and discarding), 8 ghosts, 3 Steals, plenty of Vampire Stilettos and 4 Nightmares

We can build:
1-2 Fire duo(s second being with bolts mostly); Ghostmare; RoL Hope; Poison + BW splash, add Hourglasses and Eternity or something as time cards to Poison deck with mostly time pends, really no Ghosts to spare for it and dragons too expensive. Also have possibility of EQ splash if we want to surprise Gravy or something.

[PlayerOa]

We can also build Mono Time, but many of our decks are superior atm. We'll see when we get the matchups.

[andretimpa]

The spoils are switched.

[TheonlyrealBeef]

The spoils are switched.

Fixed that as soon as I read that.

Anyway, matchups!
Added some thoughts with them. I went for the win it all strategy, sacrificing relics or whatever else is needed to win every single match xD

PlayerOa vs (Submachine)
Thinking Ghostmare, don't want to go Fire duo twice and they'll never see it coming (everyone presumes Ghostmare dead) Fractal Archangel/Dim deck they won with should be a cakewalk with this.

TheonlyrealBeef vs (Kakerlake)
RoL Hope with 2 Light Nymphs; 2 HGs, 1 Eternity, 13 pends and a Miracle?
Lt + 1 relic (hgs)

andretimpa vs (suxerz)
Fire duo with extra speed (6 MPs for extra relics is an option). Reduce Deflags to 3-4.

Dm1321 vs (omegareaper7)
Poison duo, 3 relics to up both arses and poisons. Not going to lose a possible mirror match again.

[PlayerOa]

Alright, finally this new round is up

- Sure, they won't expect it. As long as Light doesn't go full stall, we should take the win (+eternity?? I think that can work here).

- Seems good. Only have to hope they don't bring a counter.. which i don't expect.

- Yep, sure. If we can find a way to use less relics, though, I'm open for it

- Risky, but might pay off. I also think an EQ splash would do well, we should test some

[andretimpa]

Are we using the EC for the match against ?

I played around with this version of the fire duo (2 relics)

It seems to work against their arse/bonewall deck. The deflags should counter catapult decks too. It it fast enough to be competitive against chargertal? Maybe an extra hourglass is good adition?

Don't really have a lot of hourglasses and it already looks too heavy on as is. Did you try more pillars instead of pends? No need for this many pends when Phoenixes are upgraded (guess I'll try it while making decks that fit vault).

Honestly didn't even look at EC yet <_< Light sounds good. EC can and will make all the difference.

Eternity on top of 2 Vampire Daggers may seem weird, but Eternity is only there for late game, Vampire Dagger for early game (asap). You don't want to bother with the ridiculous time quanta costs instead of playing ghosts.

No relics, but pretty fast regardless. I ditched shields, in between Eternity and momentum... yeah.

3 Relics Pharaoh is the wildcard of this deck. If you pair it up with Bone Wall it's a damn hard choice whether or not to CC it with a CC deck of theirs. Consistency can gtfo. DAT SECOND TURN ARSE beat us all the , to return the favor to one of the few teams that didn't even use Poison against us yet xD

[PlayerOa]

Two thoughts of mine:

 - Ghostmare seems quite low on time quanta: imo -1 pend +1 pillar.
 - Death Duo is overquanta'd in time. Playtested a bit, I seem to like -1 pend +1 devonian dragon.

- Ghostmare seems quite low on time quanta: imo -1 pend +1 pillar.

Well, the time I tested I finished with craptons of quanta for not drawing nymphs iirc, but I guess it's possible just need to tinker around with... well everything.

- Death Duo is overquanta'd in time. Playtested a bit, I seem to like -1 pend +1 devonian dragon.

It is, I just don't think you get to play the Dragon in time? If you play Hourglass that already sucks up all your time quanta for quite a lot of turns and if that isn't enough I figured ramping damage like pharaoh would be needed, but eh, guess it can be done.
