[Master's Tourney, Trials 5] Higurashi 3 - 1 TheonlyrealBeef

[Higurashi]

Fowl are scared of me. Hell, all animals are. Especially humans. (In all seriousness, Lollerhope counters too many Darkness decks)

I've had some horrible draws, but this one even beats the one I got against mrblonde last trials. 12 quanta sources in a row before death. Should've won the deck matchup, but what the hey. Keep on trucking. Love my deck too, so I had to play it again later.

Too few Thunderstorms, but it was deliciously close. I was happy to truly test it for him. Kept most stuff in hand in case of Nightmares.

Yeah, I'm rocking the SWtWCFtD. I faced one of two stall decks I wanted to. Complete counter only slowed by early Ducks. Such a pretty field filled with death~

RNG decided to give me back some luck. Drew all 3 Rays and third turn Fractal or so (which is admittedly likely in this deck, even 2nd turn is). Beef had no hope 'cause it was on my field~

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Despite that duck I still managed to get a screenshot right before losing every time.

I had actually tweaked it with -2 QTs, +1 Eclipse and Vampire Dagger while testing it, but never updated the list I copy pasted from xDHigs played Pillars/Pends, Exploded my Vampire Dagger... and that's it. Thunderstorms were never needed so I figured I could savour this deck for later.

I wanted EP counter 2.0 to win with an actual contest, and boy was this match close. Continuously both of us didn 't always draw exactly what we needed in time, and when we would the tide would turn again. In the end Higs won with 5 hp and 2 Poison counters, had I infected my Doll instead of that Dragon that one time I might've won. The Lightnings really hurt me badly though.
Moment upon which I thought I had lost, all Higs needed was a single Fractal. But no Fractal came! This is when I stupidly decided to infect that Dragon :|
Since I knew it to be the only one in the entire deck.
If only it showed "DONE (spacebar)".

Duck failure.
Drawing only Pends early and 2 Miracles helped a lot early on, but made me lack the damage for my siphons to reach killing potential. See those 2 Towers in the screenshot? I had only 1 for most of the game...

Drawing 1 Nightmare and 0 Eternities isn't exactly what I needed for a draw lock either

Seriously Higs, what is it you keep doing to those Ducks? o:

[MrBlonde]

Lol i knew this was going to happen.... I thought TorB was going to win so i prepped a bunch of decks for him. I should know better then to ever expect Higs to lose.

[pikachufan2164]

TORB, Y U NO USE TOWER SHIELD? D:

[willng3]

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to call it Dimensional Horror Fractix or Something Wicked this Way Comes From the Dimensions D:

[furballdn]

Why the QTs just for T-storm? Was it for the element of surprise or something?

Master's Tournament is restricted to 6 off-Element cards for each Master to use.  As Quantum Towers are Other and thus are not considered an Element, it was really the only way to grant TorB's deck with while still allowing it to use for Bone Walls.  Against Fractix those T-storms become a deadly weapon.

Oh I see. Wasn't too clear on the rules. If that was the case, then TORB should've packed a tower shield like pikachufan said. A 2 damage reduction shield would counter fractal just as hard as fractal counters bone wall. Especially the case since Higs didn't have any PC at all in the RoL/hope decks.

[ralouf]

Shield would have been useless because it just would have decked out..

That was totally for the 3rd duel.

I didn't noticed that the 3rd deck was a RoL/hope
