Sorry... a.k.a. "The (Graboid) Deck"
glennfoo round 1 game 1 LOSS vs monofire (no quanta)
glennfoo round 1 game 2 WIN vs UG/dragonfly/OE (emerald shield)
farscape round 3 game 1 WIN vs psionspiderlightningfracttal (area spells/dials stalled, then emerald shield once drawn)]
-the first deck that occurred to me, not unsurprisingly. Lobotomizer was chosen because I feared the phoenix matchups that much. Never got it, or much of anything, in the one game where it would have mattered against monofire. I got it against the UG deck, where I was loboing dragonflies... yay.
modded graboid deck for farscape (-emerald +bone, -lobo +pulvy, -firebolt +heal)
farscape round 3 game 3 WIN vs monoentropy creature/antimatter (pretty much countered)
-built this assuming farscape wouldn't reuse either of the decks that he had already done, and so i swapped out the lobos and emerald shields for stuff I thought would be more useful.
The... Grabbow?
glennfoo round 1 game 3 WIN vs unknown earth/aether deck, played only a shrieker and a dimshield (trident wrecked it)
jen-i round 2 game 1 WIN vs monoearth pulvy control (illegal deck, turn 2 earthquake was played)
farscape round 3 game 2 LOSS vs firestall (bottomdecked tridents and biggest creatures)
-earthquake was banned, but trident wasn't, so I decided to try and abuse that fact. I thought 3 graboid 60 card decks might be rather common, and trident loves to wreck that stuff
40 card fire rush
jen-i round 2 game 2 WIN vs devtal (won toss, got creatures out before i was quanta locked)
-this one seemed pretty obvious as well, though I think others built better versions than I did. Since it was so obvious, I also felt people might specifically try to counter it
40 card miracle dragon (with dead dragonfly)
-not used. Decided that it wouldn't succeed in the meta, and I have a thing against using dead cards; it feels dishonourable, somehow.
40 card entropy rush
-not used. farscape used something similar to this in our third match.
it's a trap
-not used. Would have failed to stalls, psiontal, or any novabow with reverse time, and probably other stuff too.
ghostmare (probably not optimized)
-I can never seem to build a decent ghostmare, and so I didn't bother trying to improve upon this. I didn't see anyone else try it, either.
40 card psiontal
-not used. farscape used something like this against me in our first game, except I don't think he had any lobos; he had lightnings, though.
MOTHER EFFING BONES (for bronze)
cheesy111 round 4 game 1 LOSS vs grabbow (no bone walls drawn)
-I laughed when I realized that this was legal. I decided I would use it if I were playing for third or fifth. Since I made it to the finals, and didn't really care about a trophy, I decided to try it there. Had I gotten a bit more timely CC, or any bone walls, I might have even made it.
monoearth pulvy control
-not used. An old favourite of mine, I didn't want to try it without the earthquakes or auburn nymphs I usually put in this.
FFQ
-not used. Feared too many area spells, firebolts/gas decks, or things like that. I figured thunderstorms would be better than shockwave today, and had I played this deck at all, I think it would have proved the better CC card in almost any matchup.
TU dragondim lightning
cheesy111 round 4 game 2 LOSS vs monofire rush (lost by 1 turn, probably made play mistakes)
-built mostly as an excuse to use my new mark of life, but I thought it could be somewhat competitive, since emerald dragons survive lightning and rage potion and pugon is actually a pretty quick deck... or it is when you get more than 2 quanta to start, anyway. Didn't even draw the marks...
Reward code will be a tossup between mark of gravity and darkness, as I currently have the least of those two.
