Title: Weekly Tournament - July 22nd - The Shoe Cobblers Dilemma- Unupgraded
Post by: kaempfer13 on July 16, 2018, 03:34:35 pm
The shoe cobbler works very hard everyday to create shoes for all of the creatures of elements, but he is extremely busy and can never finish enough sets of shoes for everyone. As long as all of the shoes he makes are used he is happy, but if any go to waste he will retire early from the business. In contrast if more creatures need shoes then he can make, he will retire early.

Special thanks to mathman101 for coming up with the Trials Phase 1 winner idea (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/trial-of-life/8th-trials-challenger's-entrance-55052/msg1146464/#msg1146464).

If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.

TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q:Is this a rerun?
A:Yes, I really liked the concept and wanted to run this since some time. Bans have been shifted around quite a bit though.

I moved it to TO-section.
I'm fine with not participating for being able to view the old decks (though most of them are banned now anyway).

Did CCC and you favourite that old topic to remember that much about it (down to day and some participants, in your case exact link)?

Well, I knew approximately when it was played (based on Trials where it was proposed (which you also linked (even if I had forgotten))) and found the gap in the archive.  a few google searches also can get you to the newsletter that mentions it (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-news-and-announcements/elements-community-newsletter-september-2014-(coming-soon)/).

The TOs in the original run decided, that none of those are legs, as they are to thin to stand on. I'd say that definitely applies to the front limbs and the hind limbs dont really look like purple dragon would be bipedal either.

No such rule, as lame as it is to put in dead cards. I made some balance changes to discourage it and usually you dont have to resort to it.

I am surprised that Fire Spirir, Forest Spirits, Chrysaora, Arctic Squid, and Devourer count as 0 legs. All along this time, I thought they had multiple.

Another exciting tournament. Nervous start, exciting games, nervous ending.

2-1 against Submachine

0-1 Entropy
Well, hoped to see a creature heavy deck, met Ghostmare. My Chaos Seeds and Pandas worked stupidly, copying his ghost, lobotomizing it twice etc... No dmg. :(

As soon I saw the Death mark I felt rekt. Poison etc.etc. But he had a weak draw, so the poison was slower than my creatures.

He played an immo/lava golem deck, but Parallel Universe loves that. :) He suspected I have PU so he tried not to grow his LGs, but that wasn't enough.

1-1 Shrieker/BB/PU
I had some luck with this one, I have to admit. But had so much bad lucks in tourneys, so I guess it is fair. TorB had 2 SoFrees early, but I had hit his dragons 3/3. :D 2 BBs, 1 PU. That was sort of enough to win the game.

1-2 Shrieker/Water
Well, that Air Mark drawn in the 1st turn and that 3 Wings just did that. My trident did its best, but alas, you cannot touch a mark card. Wings were kinda op for this game. Nevertheless I guess he would just outdeck me (had 1 more card, maybe because of cointoss). SoFrees worked at nominal effifacy (2 at 50%), so I was able to delay him a bit. But... using a different deck from my many... sigh... would be better. Came back twice from 0-1 this tourney, the third didn't happen.

Now it's time for the TOs to make the old tournament topic public again. I am curious to compare current decks with past decks.

Ghostmare

Deck import code : [Select]
5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rk 5rk 5rk 5ro 5rq 5rs 5ru 5ru 5ru 5ru 5ru 5ru 5un 5un 5v1 5v1 5v1 5v1 5v1 8pt

Ghostmare is one of the rushier denial decks out there, so I wanted to use it at least once.

Monodeath
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52j 52j 52m 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52q 52r 52r 52r 52t 52t 52t 52t 52t 52t 542 542 542 542 542 542 8pk

Monodeath is only good if you don't draw 10 pillars in your first 13 cards. This deck would win, I say, 80% of the time against what it lost to. I just drew the 20% of the deal.

Immorush

Deck import code : [Select]
58u 58u 58u 58u 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f6 5f6 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fc 5fc 5fu 5l9 5l9 8pm

Good ol' immorush. It can pull off 6 TTW in testing, but bricks your opening hand when it counts.

Afduo

I wanted to use a tweaked version of this deck, which was cut down to 34 cards and better consistency. I closed every testing tab after I was disqualified, so I cannot find the code anymore. Drawing an OE during testing usually decided the game.

I also made decks for Empathic Bond Pharaohs, a rainbow deck, 2 versions of a FFQ deck, Wings+Spiders, monolife, 3 versions of Owl'sEye+Crusaders, and Boneyard Kitties.
