me, "*rubs head ^_^" ehheheh....eh.eh....heh..."

Trainer 1, "I could reach over from my screen to yours I'd slap you!"

me, "-_-' oi oi.. give me a break"

Trainer 1, "Tell me again why you didn't join the Eastern? You trained and grind cards for those elements."

me, "fell asleep " *thumbs up*

Trainer 2, "All that rainbow training was a waste really."

Trainer 1, "Well, how many upped cards did you play in this tourney? Please tell me you at least had 1/2? Remember our little strategy?"

Me, "3 *counts and holds up 3 fingers*, just 3 upped cards... in total."

Trainer 2,"..."

Trainer 1, "..."

Trainer 2,"I'm going to bed."

Trainer 1, "Better luck next time DK."

Oh! And congrats Higs!

Thanks DK. My principles actually allow me to show my two original decks this time. You've probably already seen the base of the main deck since you've posted in the thread I apparently revived with my post: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg357399#msg357399

Besides that, I used two different Pharaoh decks. Frozen Pharaohs, which I liked for being really kooky (and very successful):

And a normal Pharaoh deck with 6 Scarabs, Long Sword and a Turtle Shield. Congeals truly were the MVC of this tourney, and my Turquoise Nymphs made my Frozen Aether-rush unmatched.

Lady Aether I thank you kindly.

What I'm going to do on my principle is take your two decks in the trainer and see if it was even conceivable to put a dent in your decks.

Also, it will show a bit more on what I'd need to do in the future; but many suggested bluntly I shouldn't have wasted my time, none of those elements displayed even had enough to chain 3 upped cards together.

still, fun anyway!

Anyone who says joining a tourney is wasted time has forgotten that life is a constant journey of learning. The first weeks I joined tourneys I really sucked, but I learnt SO much in SUCH a short time it's ridiculous.

Basically, I took a Pharaoh deck if I faced a RoL/Hope deck. While I won once against one in the finals and lost once, the Pharaoh deck was just a clean counter.

Unfortunately unknown, this tournament has already been completed.

There will be another upgraded tournament on June 11th, though, so you can always prepare for that one!

The threads for the next tournament are usually posted midway through the week, usually closer towards Wednesday or Thursday. You won't know what type of tournament will be running until a few days before. In the case of this tournament, you actually found this out 15 minutes before it started.

The best thing to do to prepare for upped tournaments is to accumulate a lot of electrum you can use to improve the types of decks allowed for the tournament, so if you wanted to get ready for the next upgraded tourney, I would suggest farming AI3 right away and hoarding your electrum until the time comes. Good luck!

We aim to post tourneys at Wednesdays at the latest. Last week was a rare fail on our part. War and real life is kicking me and Torb's asses.
