Seems as if we can 'restock' with the "United We Stand" EC... but we can still only convert 24 cards...

back to moving...

[dragonsdemesne]

I think we should take the 'convert cards to any time card' event.  If we take the one that requires a mono deck for 4x upgrades, we can field at most 1 mono deck that we could -not- afford to lose with, and I doubt that we can even build a decent mono deck with our vault anyway.  For the one that requires a time mark for 2x upgrades, the only deck I can see (besides the monotime) is a novabow with time mark, and using very few nontime cards.

If we take the conversion event, we can get a bunch of RTs, ghosts, etc, back.  We'll still probably need to convert a lot of pillars/pends, but even grabbing 6-8 new ghosts/RTs could make a huge difference to us.

TAKE NOTE!

Above the matches in the News section it states:

A special rule is implemented to this round alongside the event card - discard is set at 30 and salvage is set at 0.

[dragonsdemesne]

Damn... at least that's even across the board.  Very scary round :p

This post was invalidated by (future?) events.

As the match-ups for round 8 were released, the modified team order wasn't taken into account, I asked ddevans96 if he had been informed that the player's positions were changed and that it should be bjessee and me playing instead of Val and TM and he told me he'll look into it.
Today, he got back to me informing me that he had no knowledge of any changes and that, after verifcation, the round 8 draw was indeed according to the official team order.

As discard is set at 30 and there will be no salvage anyway, does it even make a difference if we sub?
Or will we eventually have to stick to the official match-ups to avoid further penalties?

Going to play vs EvaRia Monday 15 GMT.
