Weekly Tournament - June 6th - Army of Weapons - Upgraded

[mathman101]

I originally wasn't gonna play and was only gonna host, but about 10 minutes before it looked like I might need to play to make it 8 people so I speedbuilt 1 deck.

Staves for Healing, Vamps for Healing/Damage, Titans for avoiding shields and damage, and Adrenaline to make everything faster!

Knew I wouldn't be playing, but I prepared several decks just for the fun of it:

BB/Poison

BB seemed really strong in this meta; sadly this deck was a bit too inconsistent

A really fun deck, and really versatile and fast when it got rolling.

Another deck trying to exploit BB

 Vader Sader seemed like an obvious choice; I personally think my version was stronger than Zso's

This was the OP deck that I devised, as it could beat anything aside from an early pulvy with ease.

So I came up with pulvies as a stallbreaker.

Catatitans

Well, rules tried to ban catatitans. But there are ways to get around that... and this was the best

[Ginyu]

Hehe, I didn't intend to ban Cata-Titans at all, just weaken it a bit.
Your Vader-Saders version isn't better than Zso's btw, because it is illegal.


Congratulation to mathman for the win!
Also congratulations to The_Playa_Slaya for reaching Bronze with semi-upped decks!

I didn't get very far this time, but these are the decks I came up with.  They were more intended to be fun than anything else, although I think the discord grabbow was pretty strong, and I expected slight variants of that to form the meta, differing mostly in the five slots that I added darkness in.

Discord grabbow

-round 1 game 2 vs trashduke WIN vs probably adrenastaves/discord?

The deck that I thought would be one of the top ones in the meta, and probably the only really serious one I built.  Surprised nobody else really did anything like it.  Unupped flying weapons were deliberate, so as to avoid taking quanta of other elements, particularly time for graboids.

-round 1 game 3 vs trashduke LOSS vs adrenadiscord/druidstaff/vamp daggerslow, i had a weak start, game lasted until he had something like 6-7 cards; no sancs in first 29 cards)

I think this would've worked if I'd seen any sancs at all before the 29th card drawn.  I had to burn too many other cards to stay alive since I didn't have sancs.

This is really stupid, and I doubt I'd have used it.  It was a fun deck to build, though.

-round 1 game 1 vs trashduke LOSS vs immorush, he had perfect draw, i had extremely slow one

Based on a casual deck I use sometimes (entropy/gravity/water DBH/nymph trio) I had to add earth and change the gravity component around completely to legalize it.  It was an attempt to get around the amber nymph ban.  It might've worked, but I got stuck with a 1/1/1 pendulum split to start and couldn't play anything except two nymph tears in the first 5-6 turns, both of which died to removal.  The original version can actually lock down and beat FGs with a good draw, so I had hopes, but I think this one was a bit too slow with the extra element added in.

Hey, thanks a lot Ginyu. The deck that netted me nearly all of my wins (maybe all of them?) was the dark/death duo which only had two unupped cards: skull shields. I would always start with my entropy/fire deck because I had high hopes for it, but I lost every time. Anyways, the skull shields didn't do much but start up some scare tactics. Heck, four druid staves hopped up on adrenaline hit that shield and everyone lived! That was 4 attacks across 4 staves; 16 chances to die but no, they all lived.

I originally wasn't gonna play and was only gonna host, but about 10 minutes before it looked like I might need to play to make it 8 people so I speedbuilt 1 deck....

... only to snatch the trophy yourself. Marvelous, math, marvelous. *standing ovation*

Grats for the win
