Built this deck figuring it could counter a lot of decks. Late Lobo, but was still able to get the win out. Was really close due to Fog Shield being a pain, but hey, I was running Dims so who am I to complain~

3 drakes early, no PUs until I started to draw a few more cards, eventually drew 2 of them. A lot slower a game than it had to be tbh, but oh well

When it's not against a stallish deck, it actually is pretty good. Also a really solid AI4 farmer. Bit expensive though.

1 pend draw lead to slow nymph. Matchup was abysmal for the deck anyway, since it had very little way to generate Light, if the opponent isn't running any creatures~

Saw Air mark and was worried about TStorm, fortunately didn't see it. Draw was a bit slower than I would like, but against a slowish deck like his it seemed to be alright.

Played RoLs slow, worried about TStorm. Drew 2 Fractals, the third would have gone to the Angel (which died to EE) if I had it. Chipped him down enough so that by the time he played Fog it was over.

Another deck with some nice matchups, he flew his first EE, which meant I couldn't steal it. I ended up stealing his Fog Shield to win the game. I have no idea what would have happened if I had have stolen that EE. Less damage, less dead stuff, but then Fog comes and ruins my day. Luckily won with exact damage.

Spoiler for 4-1:

Great matchup vs slower decks, was able to outpace his Fahrenheit damage fairly confidently. Superb draw, early Angel, had enough quanta to stay on top of it. He had 44 hp and I had 3 Angels, and was tossing up whether to save quanta for Miracle, or to make another Angel for the 2hko. Ended up doing the latter and won.

Spoiler for 5-1:

Similar situation as earlier, but was more obvious to save for the Miracle. Used it, and got the win from it.

Spoiler for All Decks Built:

Spoiler for RoL Hope:

First deck I built, a standard RoL Hope, feels inconsistent to use sometimes, and has a lot of bad matchups against repeatable CC/AoE. Nice deck though, especially when it works

Spoiler for RoL Hope w/ SoPa:

5j2 5j2 5j2 5lk 5lk 5lk 5lk 61o 61o 622 622 622 622 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7ju 7ju 7k1 7k2 7k2 808 808 808 808 808 808 8pp

A lot more inconsistent than standard RoL Hope so I didn't use it in fear of RNG being a pain, but it's another really nice deck. I included Archangels to fill out the 50% requirement, though I don't think they're a bad addition by any means

Spoiler for SNBow:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

4vh 4vh 5if 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lh 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 752 77g 7ae 7ae 7dm 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 80b 8pj

Standard SNBow, I don't really like using it too much, but it's incredibly fast with the right draws, and has some nice control to back it up.

Spoiler for Pegasus Rush:

On another day I may very well have used this. Bad matchup vs CC though, and seeing Firestall and EE Spam really made me decide not to though.

Spoiler for Death Nymphs:

My favourite deck built. Really fun to use, but had bad matchups vs his decks. Tried to use it, got a bad draw, and had a bad matchup, so I didn't use it again.

Spoiler for Mono w/ Solar Shield:

Riding the high of building the last deck, I made a mono with Solar Shield. Good against wide boards, of which he had none. Wasn't much a consideration to use since by the stage I would have wanted to use it, I was thinking of other decks instead.

Spoiler for Light Rush:

Fun challenge to see what the fastest Light Rush could be. According to Xenosim, had a 6.6ttw on average

Spoiler for PUGons:

Wanted to build a deck with Lobo, since I figured it would be a good card against a ton of potential Light decks. Couldn't find a way to put it into RoL Hope, so I made it it's own deck. Went pretty well, but an average draw in it's only game hurt (3 dragons early, only a couple PUs coming later. Late Lobo too)

Spoiler for SoV Stall:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

5lm 5lm 5lm 5lm 5lm 5lm 5up 5up 5up 5up 5us 5us 5us 5us 5us 5us 5vi 5vi 5vi 5vi 5vi 5vi 606 606 606 7k2 7k2 7k2 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 8pt

Tried to make a SoV deck, more as a concept of what one would look like. I didn't really like it, and it only has matchups vs incredibly passive stalls, which he didn't use. So I gave up on the deck.

Spoiler for Celsius:

Another matchup vs stalls, again, wasn't terribly happy with the deck. Gets outrushed easily, and has little sustain.

Spoiler for Vader Sader:

Seeing a lack of CC in my decklists, I wanted to build with Steal. Vader Sader was my most obvious option, and won it's game on top of that.

Spoiler for Mito Angels:

5c9 5c9 5c9 5c9 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5la 5lh 5lh 5mq 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7ju 7ju 7ju 7ju 7ju 7k2 7k2 7k2 7la 7la 7la 8pn

Superb versus stalls, and not a bad matchup versus other decks either. This was the main feature about the deck that I liked. Also good resistance to CC, making EE a harder weapon to use. Won both its matches, good deck.

Ggs!

Disclaimer:
 I indeed used only 2 decks the entire game, but I haven't done that in order to give my opponent an easy time. I have tested those decks and I have seen they performed fairly well against many threats. In game 1, I have managed to kill 2 Light Dragons (not an easy feat). In game 3 & 4, if I had drawn a Mirror instead of Fog, things would be different. That said, I have some complaints from RNG for some bad draws and some even worse starts but that's how RNG behaves to anyone, right?
 Dawn to dusk performed admirably and he deserves the title of the next master of .

Gratz dawn! I'm amazed at your lack of deckout stalls.
Finally, you have mastery in a real element

I am amazed at the lack of stalls too. If I knew all his decks would be no more than 30 cards, I may had made my decks thinner.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

I like that solar shield grey nymph deck, nice
