LIFE Trials: wizelsnarf 3 - ak65ala 2

[wizelsnarf]

Don't want to post my decks like ak65ala said when he beat will.


But I will recap.

Game 1: ak65ala wins coin toss - I lose the game. The reason I mention the coin toss is that I would have won if I went first and EQed his pendulums, ruining his chance of chargers.

Game 3: ak65ala wins coin toss - I lose the game. I never drew a discord and even if I did it would have been too late. He thought I had antimatter which I didn't.

Game 4: ak65ala wins coin toss - I win the game though. Same deck twice in a row. Mutations were key because they were all airborne and bypassed Wings.

Game 5: ak65ala wins the coin toss - we desynch within 2 turns though and redo


Game 6: I WIN the coin toss! -  By far the best game of our match. It was really quite incredible and he probably would have won if it weren't for the desynch. Even despite losing the coin toss, he got me down to 5 hp. It was a nail biter and 1 card different or earlier or later and either of us could have won.

Great matches ak65ala! Even if you didn't win I think your overall record shows you are a good player - me winning literally came down to the coin toss.

Hoping willing3 beats wizelsnarf now, so we can go for a 3 way tie.

Only had 1 pair of wings for a while, so I waited till ~ 40 HP to start the chain.  He first mutated into a devouring 8/8 flying dragon and he kept mutating airborne guys...  3/2 virus w/ ablase, 4/4 ray of light w/ something else bad... silly silly. I also only drew 2 of my dragons.  Hit him with what I could, but when your dragons are eaten, your wings are bypassed and you fear anti-matter... it went down in a sad ball of a loss.

Will update if wizelsnarf wins his match, if not, then after we do our tie-breaker.

Decks updated.

That's interesting... you played your life-entropy deck twice against me... and I never saw a single discord.  Yes, I was worried about an anti-mater, since it kills both decks fairly easily.  If I had seen a discord I would have been less worrisome about anti-mater, but when all you play are elves and novas, and you always had 1-3 cards in hand... the obvious final splash to the deck is either discord or anti-mater.  No discord = must be anti-mater.
