Long story on how these decks came to be contained in spoiler, for anyone that is overly curious...
Spoiler for Hidden:
I worked on this tournament, for a few days, within the confines of the (current war #8) 'Team Darkness Secret Dungeon of Black Projects' area.

There, 10 men, had informed me that the toadfish card was OP.
Really? Like I never used it before, like ever.
But I have learned that when 10 men says something, I better pay attention to it.
So I went to the bazaar and purchased enough to bring my card pool to have 6 of them.

I then proceeded to construct 18 decks, all with various ideas, and different focus.
I displayed them in our secret area, for all to gaze upon and wonder.

Then, Odii Odsen came along, and told me that rushing > poison.
Hmmm... Usually Odii tells me what I'm doin' wrong.
So I took this as a real sign of encouragement, and then modified some to emphasize this.

The next day, Odii actually said that I gave him some ideas, announced that he would participate in the tournament, and constructed 8 decks of his own.

We then criticized each others decks, and collaborated on some.
Final modifications came just a few hours before the tournament.

Out of the 26 decks total, we decided on four of them, and off to the tournament we went...

This was my lead in deck to a match, I usually kept it if I felt it was strong against their first one, or switch to one below if I felt that they would be changing theirs to counter it.

This one I used if I sensed the opponent would play some (but not too many) creatures.

This one, I used if I sensed that I should try to avoid most opponent creatures.




Congratulations to iNuzzle on winning the tournament.


However, I feel that theelkspeaks is the real hero of the tournament, as he was the "TO on the fly".
He had to organize everything on the spot, deal with some new players, deal with the regular players (not always easy either), and he even started to play himself (which certainly affected him, because of everything he had to do at the same time).

+ reputation to him.
