But the rules says that we are penalized only with cards, not with a change in the game result....


... and to worst, i lost

damn it was so close!!!
Last round he was 4 HP.... this round is not going well...sorry guys...

[Xinef]

Think of it this way - let's say you are playing against an aether player. You design a deck to fight aether... and then that player fights you with a 100% fire deck, and wins 2-0.

He obviously won only because he used an illegal deck. Now, do you think it would be fair to simply give him a penalty? Nope, he used an illegal deck, so it is considered a loss.

The only difference is that in our case it was by mistake and the difference was small, but still, the deck was illegal. We could have hoped for an exception, but it was certainly within the rules to count it as a loss.




As for the series of losses... damn luck, we were also out of luck in the beginning of war 1. Then we had a winning streak... when we were left with <60 cards... :|

It was quite epic, but I prefer winning with more team members... although 9 is a bit too much, it's hard to organize, 4-5 was better in my opinion.

[edunavas]

Ok, I won´t discuss this anymore. I won´t mistake again, sorry.

I hope you are alright and we get more luck forward.

Okay, anyone else notice the plethora of Nova+Graboid decks?  Even with elements outside of Entropy/Earth/Time.  We have to take this deck into consideration every match.  However with RT, I suppose we're less likely to face this kind of deck, but it does seem to be the popular deck this War.

[edunavas]

Interesting...so we have to use more our main weapons like Eternities, precog and procast.
This round we almost didn´t use them, and they would be fundamental for our winnings. People are not afraid using creatures against us.
We have to take a look on every match this round and find out what we did wrong comparing first round.
I think we can use more precogs...they speed our decks, they don´t have any counter and we can look at their hands and use strategy.

[Xinef]

Good news is that I was 2-0
Bad news is that mine deck might have been too strong against poor fire newbie. His fire death deck wasn't much of a threat...

So, Brion vs icecoldbro is the last one remaining...

Should one of us sub since we're down to less than 24 hours?

[Xinef]

I've seen Brion in chat, so I guess icb didn't show up for the arranged time...
If anything, I guess Brion should fight and someone from team aether should sub.


EDIT:
although it seems icb was also active not so long ago...

[edunavas]

Nice job Xinef, hope Brion can win too.
I´ll be off till tomorrow night.
Back Sunday 23 GMT.

[Brion]

Guys Icecoldbro didn't come to any of our matches that we set.

[Dragoon]

Guys Icecoldbro didn't come to any of our matches that we set.

I subbed for you and played a sub for ICB.

I'm also leaving again this weekend.  : P  But this is my last business trip for the year.  Hopefully I'll be able to have Internet access through Wednesday, but if not, you won't hear from me till Thursday.  Good luck everyone.
