Rules: 30 card decks, opposing duos (DBH banned), no different element ability cost cards.Uh, 3 AM... But I wanted to participate since I won't be able to do that next week.
2-0 vs. propheon1-0 FrogWall Poison vs. Immortals DimsBW easily stopped the expensive infantry, while poison evaded dims.
(Must add that I barely had any poison in the first ~12 cards.)
2-0 Vader Saders vs. Immortals DimsAdded a lot of Steals, because it seemed that he will play the same deck.
It worked.
2-0 vs. Mathman1-0 FrogWall Poison vs. NT ExploHe had a bad start, only 2 pillars (don't know how many he had, but that's rough for an NT deck).
Purify and Fire Shield couldn't withstand poison and infantry.
2-0 False DBH aka Trolling The Rules vs. FrogWall PoisonLet's do opposing duos, but no DBH? Sob. Hm... let's make Discord/SoFo! Worked wonderfully.
It turned out later that it is actually the strongest deck with this ruleset. He had a 1 pillar start,
which is not unusual for that deck (mine had 11 pillars, guess his had about the same amount),
but a real kick in the nuts against Discord. Even in upped. However my Discord only came as
card #16, but I was able to tear off his BW with creatures and SoFos until that point. He tried
to save the situation with SoGs, but alas, that wasn't enough. I can understand his feelings
about tricking the rules, but I wasn't the only one who noticed this powerful loophole...
0-2 vs. Zso_Zso0-1 Vader Sader vs. False DBHI was so confident about my "DBH" deck, that I haven't even considered Zso will play
that... Played Saders (without Sanctuaries...) and got trolled heavily. 1 pillar start.
Instant doom. Yeah, I should have swapped 2 Steals for 2 ppms or something,
but playing at 5 AM isn't funny. To make things worse he had a Discord and SoFo in T3.
And my next ppm came in T5... Left the game in T6 (had 34 hps, while he had 32 dmg
on table).
0-2 FrogWall Poison vs. False DBHAnd he played this again... omg. T2 Disco. Still, I was pretty close to win, but an AM
and a BH turned the tides. The game ended with he having 10 hps with 10 poison dmgs.
2-1 vs. Zso_Zso (2nd Final)0-1 False DBH vs. Vader SadersBy this point my nerves were like... almost 6AM and will he troll me again with Discord?
No, it was worse. It was a smart move from him to include Sanctuaries into his Sader
deck, but I guess he haven't planned that he will start with 3 ppms and one Sanct
in hand. Have no idea how many Sancts he had, but haven't played another one
in the whole game, and that was enough. Meanwhile I started with 3 ppms and Disco,
but that was worthless, since he won the cointoss... I was able to play a SoFo in T3,
but that small window was enough for him to play a Crusader and troll me with my own
Disco... (also add the stupid +1 turn protection after sanctuary goes bye-bye). On top
of that my Disco got stolen, and due to the double scramble I couldn't play my MD to
get rid of the Crusaders. Another turn which meant a lot - getting rid of the Disco didn't
mean much. And scramble took away my option to BH him.
1-1 False DBH vs. Voidstall SanctuariesDidn't have a better idea, let's do this again. Oh, darkness mark, not again. Trolled by
rng: Discord and only 2 ppms... But it didn't matter since he won cointoss, and guess
what: 3 ppms and 1 Sanctuary... but after that voids came instead of Crusaders.
Two of my SoFos got drained quickly... then a Dragon... After that SoFos were left
alone to work properly. Another Dragon got pwned by a drain, but by that time SoFos
had destroyed SoVs and I was able to win in T16...
2-1 Immo SoBr vs. False DBH"DBH" intensified again, so I choose Immo. Since I was forced to play
I couldn't
use any free creatures, so it was sort of a daredevil stuff against a possible T1 Disco.
And he had a T1 Disco. But Discord is cute and won't touch your quanta if you happen to
have only 1...
Early Congeals were able to hold his creatures. I originally had the funny
idea of outdecking him, but as soon the game progressed it became a strong possibility.
Later not just a possibility, but my only chance. Luckily Zso was happy that I'm helping
his deck, too (first he drew a buttload of ppms then played a dozens of creatures).
MDs were hurting my Phoenixes badly, and further Congeals just ducked. Maybe I made
a few misplays through the game, but eventually he left his hand totally empty, so instead
of killing me (I had 13 hps left and 19 dmgs on table when starting the last turn) I just
filled his hand entirely with his 8 cards left. I must add I was a bit unsure how will this
turn out, but when I saw this...
... I was so relieved.
