Round 9: Strategy

[dragonsdemesne]

The more I think aboot it... why not throw FF vs Higs with a few nymphs and go ahead and take her out... put the fear in everyone next round?
BJ, I know that you want this one, but we can achieve so much with this move... drama and a win...

I don't think monotime nymph could beat dimshields.  I think it might have trouble with entropy if they use discords.  It should be able to beat Light, unless they have some surprises left in their vault; I'll work on what they have left.  (and the other two teams)

Ghostal is definitely a go in one match; I think it would work vs aether or light, but not entropy, again due to discord.

We've got a novabow available as well; I think that might be a good one to use vs entropy, although against their mono last round I just barely won.  If they had used antimatters, which they had in their other deck that won, I'd have probably lost.

There's also the poison dial.  I think that could potentially work against aether or entropy.  I think it might have more trouble with light because they still have PC, and breaking the sundial chain could be diastrous.  Entropy does have Butterfly Effect, but we have Reverse Time for it, so it doesn't matter.  One (nontime) card in the poison dial has to be removed to make it legal.  The novabow will probably also need one fog and one explosion or one steal.  In their place, if you can't find anything useful, just put something useless there, since it can be part of the 6 cards not actually played in the 36.

What I was saying was to -RT's from Poison Dial and +Nymphs, throw that vs Higs...

[valuka]

this it's even legal

i learned to counting cards

LOL, Val, still illegal, 18 time cards in a 37 card deck

that is legal, believe me. almost

I'm about to head to work, but I just had an idea for my match vs light that I want to mention before it's too late.  As discussed with 10 Men, Light can still play RoL/Hope, and he was probably going to give me Ghostal in that matchup.  If I do go with ghostal, I want to use Silurian Dragon in the deck (instead of devonian) to give me a creature that is more likely to be able to punch through a massive Hope.  An upped GotP might be a good idea as well, for the same reason, though it might be better to keep that unupped for the cheaper cost and rely on the dragon only if hope gets huge.  With 6 ups I could up both creatures, 3 hourglasses, and still have one more for whatever.  (a tower unless there's a better choice)

Ok these are our current decks for the round:

10 men: (sub by ffun)
It's our Nymph rush from last round, it tests pretty well against their Liquid Antimatter deck from last round - get a quick Nymph and enough quanta and you should be ok. If they pull something crazy we have the possibility of making a Dim Shield stall. No idea how useful that's going to be.

bjessee: Poisondial, since we mainly expect no creatures the main version has Hourglasses instead of RTs, but we can take them again if Higurashi plays a creature deck.
