Grandmaster Battle 4: (Darkness) TheonlyrealBeef 7 - 5 Mr Muffin (Life)

[TheonlyrealBeef]

ggs! Really close and enjoyable battles
I derped a bunch here, so your new Grandmaster is a derp. I made some recordings, but forgot some others. I also forgot to bring a legal deck g1, way to start this off...

Spoiler for decks:

G1 Fire Stall (Fire): ILLEGAL

I wasn't happy with this g8 deck, so I was still tweaking it when I noticed I missed Muffins message due to a frozen chat. Startled, I proceeded to search without loading my actual g1 deck...

Dark Nymph MVP. I think the difference was large enough for Muffin realizing AM Adrenascorps would bypass Hope a bit late to not matter.

Delicious draw, no counter, so much win.

Drawing a lot of quanta combined with GPs taking care of flying staves made this nigh impossible. Dusk was really nice to me, but really needed a Staff in weapon slot at least.

G5 SoPa Devs/Vamps (Water): WIN

Killer start vs a Sanct stall, denying quanta in early turns. This forced Muffin to chain Dials early, making a victory later effortless due to a second SoPa waiting in hand.

So this was a variant of something that I was supposed to run g1. Had a really close match with seemingly endless Bone Walls.

I drew a lot of early Siphons, but not many other stalling cards. Used each Dial I drew to draw into more cards. At least all those early Siphons allowed to to deal with every SoFo that popped up with room to spare.

Barely won with exact damage. I might have already had a lockdown with Auburn anyway, but at dangerously low hp with no Vaggers in sight.
Because who bothers with multiple stacks with full upgrades?

[Mr Muffin]

Good games, congratulations on becoming Grandmaster.

TORB noticed before the game started or right as it started that his deck was illegal so we just went on the the next game.

I forgot until later that I could antimatter my scorpions to get past the hope. It probably wouldn't have mattered because he got a dark nymph out which pretty much ruined everything this deck could do.

GP is really rough on Adrenastaves.

This deck can't do anything against SoP plus his devs exceeded my early game quantum production.

No adrenaline the entire game (except the last card but I didn't need to use it so I didn't) and this the queens and Damselflies plus SoFr were still enough to outrush mono dark with otyughs. TORB's dark nymph hit by queens but his otyugh didn't.

If I had a empathetic bond to heal off my hoard of frogs sure but I didn't bring any so dim shields completely stop this deck.

G8 BW Poison Rush (Death): LOSS

I drew lots of bone walls but I didn't draw enough frogs or enough quantum for more poison to deal enough damage before I could play no more bonewalls. I lost by a turn.

G9 Jedi Frogs (kind of) (Gravity): LOSS

I thought this would do fairly well against what TORB had to play. I was not expecting Siphonary. My SoFo were siphoned so the deck doesn't have anything left to deal with Siphonary. I wish I didn't take out the mitosis as they would have at least made it closer.

7 turn win against nightmare and Vagger. This came down to the last turn. Much damage, very wow.

I forgot about the replay rule until TORB told me before this game. I weird temporary disconnect simply deleted the fractal I drew on my first turn. :/ The first game I was scared of nightmare and probably lost because of it. You should have told me you didn't have any nightmares. I obviously wanted to replay this game. I played fearlessly the second game and barely won.

G12 Patient Arctic Forest Octopi (Water): LOSS

Devquake slowed me down a lot and later an Auburn nymph pretty much stopped me. It was still close as I had built up a pretty good damage output with SoP before the nymph.

[iancudorinmarian]

G1 really had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Really close game, could've gone either way.

Seems all legal (someone confirm kthnxbye). Grats TorB on becoming the new Grandmaster! Your title will be given soontm
