General Discussion

My look on the air battle:
 Hyroen's bans:
BE, Reflexive Shield, Emerald Shield, Deflagration, Steal: All of these suggest that he will be using an unstable gas deck (looking forward to it)
Chaos Seed: a rather interesting ban, considering he is going for Unstable Gases, but I think he is really trying to ban Chaos Power rather than Seed, so QuantumT can't use them to buff up his wyrms.

QuantumT's bans:
Dimentional Shield, Earthquake, Reverse Time, Discord: all these bans make me think that he will go for wyrms, since dimentional shield is really the only shield buffed wyrms can't bust through; earthquake will destroy all his pillars/towers to dive wyrms; reverse time to counter the buffs; discord to mess with his quanta, so he can't dive as much
Deflagration, Steal: these are more "standard" bans, just to protect his permanents


Prediction to the matches:
Since it would seem to be UG stall vs. Wyrm rush, I generally give UG stalls the favor, but with dimentional shield banned, there isn't much Hyroen can defend himself with, Fog shield is probably the best shield for him, but he will need a lot of CC to kill those buffed wyrms.

Chaos Seed and Chaos Power are treated as the exact same card in bans. So they might not be buffed too much.

I know, and that's what I meant by saying that Hyroen banned seed to ban power

I'd like to see some buffed Wyrms that can go through Grav Shield but not through Dim shield.

My look on the air battle:
blah blah blah

Keen insight there.  I should have thought of Chaos Power with Wyrms since that's one of the faster Air aggros.  Still, it's kind of a weak ban since he can access Blessing.  Also, with RT, I only thought about FW, but it's true that RT is the bane of combo and buff decks as well.  Nice catches there.

Terroking vs Kakerlake
Hehe, they both messed up one of their bans.  Oh well, at least they both did it together.    Interesting that Kakerlake didn't ban SoGs.  Also, in Earth vs Earth, banning PC cards seems kinda weak since they have PAs and Pulverizers.  I think Terro's Phase Shield is a better ban than Kaker's Gravity Shield.  Miracle, Poison, Immolation, and Pests are all good bans though.
[...blabberblubberblob...]

Just to clarify a little thing: Terroking & me agreed on global bans. So everything he bans is banned for him as well. Also, to counter the possibility to ban the same card he sent me his list first and then I adapted mine.
As for the messed up bans, both of us hate the idea of fighting against EQ's (should I put in PA or not? *mindread*) so we use the in element bans as well ^^

The main idea was that we can use more underused cards and make the matches more interesting since both of us can't take any of those uber balanced knock out decks.

And @all those folks who root for Terroking: I h8 yoo
Insects have feelings as well. You know, when you munch them under your boot, that cracking sound is created from all the broken hearts of loved ones of that one insect.

By the way. Officially, you are allowed to use your bans, and Terro his. It wouldn't be really nice, but it's legal. Just sayin'.

I'm all aware of that.
But I really doubt that Terro the kind of guy who'd play unfair or feels the need to cheat on me.
And neither am I, I'd never cheat on me

As much as I like following rules, I think Terroking and Kaker have the right idea.  The Earth trials, I thought, were going to be about who could PA/EQ faster.  Now that they banned EQ's, I'm going to enjoy watching and reading the battles that I otherwise wouldn't have.

It be weird if you were both male and female

Yes... I was thinking we could use that next time, but banning 2 in-element cards might be a little too much.

It's not even closely as bad as you make it sound.
Only the most annoying card ev0r (EQ) and and the best hitter (Grabo) are out.
There is still plenty left to mess with. CC, PC, strong creatures, fast creatures, strong AND fast creatures, stalling and healing... did I miss something?

It's as if someone said: Now that banned Miracle and Pegasus, the deck creating of Light has nothing much to offer. I can imagine you would be laughing tears after hearing that statement
