[Trials 7 - Challengers] [Time] Kuroaitou 3-1 [Light] regen2k9

[Kuroaitou]

Great games regen2k9! I'll reveal decks in a bit...

(And now regen2k9 is gone. Ugh. )


No shards. Bans were:
Him: Dimensional Shield | Sundial | Earthquake
Me: Fire Bolt | Vampire Dagger | Miracle

Here we go.

I went for Aether while he picked up Wings - I was lucky to have top-decked the key cards I needed, as his Shockwaves ravaged my Ghosts with ease. I used Parallel Universe on one of my dragons as well as one of his that he played to bypass the Wings shield. He managed to get a bow out fairly quickly (yikes), but the PU combo was faster and managed to get his health down fast enough for the win. 1-0

He played Fire - I chose Air. I was worried about Fire Stall, but luckily, I banned Fire Bolt before hand (hooray!), so he ended up being unable to really go for the stall option. Raging Angels on the other hand, were pretty deadly. Since the Eagle Eyes were upped, Rage Elixirs couldn't kill them in the air, so I decided to immediately fly them rather than tempt regen into exploding them with potential deflags. 2-0


Game 3:

I pushed through Aether into the Darkness - he pulled a mono light deck here and won without using any Sanctuaries. I'm kind of sad at myself for not packing Nightmares in this case, but man, this deck was a bit silly when I think about it. ^^; 2-1


Game 4:

I was slightly unsure if Entropy was a smart choice, seeing as if he pushed through Air into Water, he could use Purify to knock out any form of poison (from Death, should I push through Aether the other way, or Dune strategies), and because Discord was useless against him with Sanctuary. I took a chance, condensed the deck from a previous version (40 to 37), and managed to seal a win once I popped an Antimatter against one of his later angels (alongside a topdecked Eternity AND Procrastination, wow, am I lucky). I rewound his first angel repeatedly to waste his quanta, but his Morning Glory got me dangerously close to death. I was left with 6 HP by the time the game ended. >.>

Great games regen! _{Why'd you have to leave? T_T}

[regen2k9]

Right back at ya! Great games kuro; good to play you.  Good luck in the rest of trials! 

Decks: coming soon to a theater near you.

Ey, looks a bit like the Time starter deck :>

I just tease.

[Hannal]

That lone Quantum Pillar.  It looks like it could use some friends.

If I may, why was that included?

[Higurashi]

He couldn't pack Gravity (I think), so he used that. Kuro is often odd. It's part of why we like him.

Count me on the bandwagon.

Close! In actuality, I was afraid regen would use some terrifying Devourer/Light deck (paranoia++;), so I put a Quantum Pillar in there just in case so that the devourers could "theoretically" consume my non-precious time and air quanta, since the QI of the second deck felt slightly off. Plus, Gravity quanta wouldn't hurt should I get to devour something of his. ^^;

But yeah, odd idea that never really came to fruit anyway.
