Fractal Chargers vs. EQ Phase Dragons

Yay for an insane 6-way split! Good thing Alan brought Dim Shields instead of Lightnings x)

Fractix vs. TU EQ Stone Dragons

Really, really close. I had enough damage to win on my next turn, and it was Alan's turn to draw. It pretty much came down to that one card -- if Alan drew another TU or Dragon, he wins; otherwise, I would win. He ended up topdecking a winner.

Discord Duo vs. Fractix

Turn 3 Discord came down and I got a nice early advantage. He Fractalled before he could safely launch a Dim the turn after, so he didn't have the 6 when I was close to finishing him off and I won. Another close game, but Alan's timing was a bit off in a matchup that demanded absolute precision from both sides -- if he had the 6 at the end to save himself with a Dim Shield instead of casting Fractal a turn before, I would have lost.

Poison Stall vs. TU EQ Stone Dragons

Another game that could have gone either way. It came down to his Silences against my Dim Shield chain. He cast his Silences too early (wasted two on earlier turns), so he didn't have any more to disrupt my Dim chain, and the Poison did its work.

GG, Alan. You've come a long way since your early days in Team Aether, and every game was exciting and down to the wire

Great games, Pika. Thanks for the match.

Updated with my decks and commentary.

Great Trials so far Pika, very impressive.

Allthough they're not unique, I do love your decks. Fracharge seems to be doing great vs Aether in general and I love the poisonstall. (that 6-waysplit is evil vs EQ's btw, shame on you!) It's great how your decks always have a wide variety of cards (lightnings/silences/PU's/Dim Shields/Off element cards). It makes matches entertaining and versatile.

Playing around with silences seems tough btw. It's one of those cards that needs absolute skill to use.

Thanks, Japp

In these battles, Silence is pretty much a pseudo-Deflag for taking down Dim Shield chaining antics, since only being able to run 6 off-element cards makes sticking any more than 2 Deflags into a Fractix not very feasible. Lots of bluffing and second-guessing here, as the threat of Silence might make the shield chain one turn earlier so that they don't expire while they're silenced :>
