[6th trials of gravity][finals] nilsieboy 5 vs 4 Laxadarap

[nilsieboy]

Nilsieboy
 (5-4)
Apparently Laxa's game 3 deck was illigal and he gave me the win, making it a victory for me. Thank you for being a great opponent!

First of all I'd like to thank all the challengers in the trials of gravity for making them exciting as always and the people who supported me.
Of course I'd also want to thank Laxadarap for this exciting games, I had a great time fighting you and I'm looking forward what you can do next war for team gravity!

Time for some smexy battle results now:

Game 1: Gravylation vs Accelerated nightmares - LOSS (0-1)

Super weird deck, was expecting graviton guard spam or catapults so took a bunch of explosions and tower shield. Didn't see voodoo's coming.
Had a rather slow start as expected with graviton fire eaters while he slowly outdamaged me, I expected to win the game once I played an armagio 2 turns before he'd kill me but he made a great move by using acceleration on my armedilgo so I couldn't GP it.

Game 2: Gravymare vs Gravity is eternal - WIN (1-1)

Trollmare is always a troll, even with only 3 novas and when facing other ghost of the past decks.

Game 3: Nameless water/gravity deck (suggestions are welcome) vs Black sands - LOSS WIN (illigal deck)(1-2) (2-1)

Pretty stable duo, got some good mid range attackers from water with some creature control and defence.

I would've won this easily if I drew at least one of my 4 overdrives in the first 15 cards where I'd still play them.

Game 4: Guardtall vs Cheetah - LOSS (1-3)
I lost the exact code of this deck, It was something like this:

I know why I lost though, I drew 0/5 guards for the entire game.

Game 5: Poisonpult vs Poisonous Gravy - WIN (2-3)

Pretty basic deck here: damage the opponent with arse/poison and stall with armedilgos until you catapult some of them to kill the opponent.

But of course I drew 0 catapults and Had to rely on my awesome 1 or 2 armagio damage, early arse gave me the game here.

Game 6: (slightly different) Poisonpult vs The Gravy is still poisonous - WIN (3-3)

Got a nice draw with turn 3 arsenic, 2 armagios and catapult ready at the start. Catapult > bonewall

Game 7: Gravymare vs Guard the Staves! - LOSS (3-4)

What's even better then one trollmare? 2 trollmares.

Again some good tactical play on Laxa's part here: after killing his first 2 adrealined guards with Gpull he momentumed my one ghost before flying his stave which I couldn't get down with just an armagio and a nymph.

Game 8: Random on the spot Gravity! vs Cheetah - WIN (4-4)

I had no idea what he'd bring, so I decided to go with something lulzy. Turn 3 amber nymph and some late devourers made this a very easy lockdown and win.

Game 9: Poisonpult vs Guards be on drugs - LOSS (4-5)

Couldn't choose between this and guardtall with dimensional shields, I should've picked guardtall and I might've had a chance against his very fast damage spam.

Ok, my decks and semi detailed match reports:

Spoiler for Game 1 - Win - Accelerated Nightmares:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

562 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 576 5v0 5v0 5v0 74i 74i 74i 74i 74i 7t9 7t9 7tb 7tb 7tg 7tg 7tg 7th 7th 7th 7th 8pt

Deck:Nightmare just to troll and give me some health, steal because gravy shield shuts this down, and voodoos cuz their great overdrive targets.
Match: Acceladolls vs. Gravimmo  Have a decent hand, and end up drawing both steals.  Nils plays an armagio, and I'm thinking oh crap, gg.  Realize that acceleration cancels gpull, and I topdeck my second steal to take his tower shield.  Won by a turn.

Spoiler for Game 2 - Loss - Gravity is Eternal:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

55q 55q 55q 576 5rk 5rk 5rk 5ru 5ru 5ru 5ru 5ru 5ru 746 746 74b 74b 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 7q0 7q8 7q8 7ri 8ps

Deck: Rt against gravy=common sense.  Also, it synergizes nicely with armagio, although I didn't even draw one. 
Match: My RT deck vs. ghostmare.  Should have theoretically hindered ghostmare, but didn't have enough time quanta, and he outrushed me by a turn or two.  Gravymare OP.

Spoiler for Game 3 - Win - Black Sands:

Deck: Gravy has expensive creatures, so quantatrolling works.  Allready has blackhole, and has a great earth duo with quicksands and pulvy.
Match: He got out squids and a magio, but I destroyed all his quanta.  Got out a pulvy to deal with swords, and a diamond to negate his damage.  Water mark gave him enough quanta to freeze every turn, so I waited until I could burst him down while my puvly very, very, very slowly got to him.

Spoiler for Game 4 - Win - Cheetah:

Deck: Cheetahs are fast cats=cats are catapults=Deck name is punny.  One of my favorite decks, dials and HG both work great when you have catapult/burst damage.  (Saw this with ghostal beating firestall in draft)
Match: Had all 4 dials by midway through deck, as well as an early hourglass (to get midway through deck).  He drew no guards, so his electrocuter just sat there smacking me.

Spoiler for Game 5 - Loss - Poisonous Gravy:

Deck: Just a standard neurotoxin build.  Catapults would theoretically beat it imo, but thanks to Oty's it should beat his momoscorps deck.
Match: Early arsenic did too much damage, as well as him getting an upgraded armagio.  Was able to dial, but was 4 damage short of killing him.  He acceled both of my scorpions, which if done one turn later would have given me the win.

Spoiler for Game 6 - Loss - The Gravy is still poisonous:

Deck: Bonerwalls and magios to stall, if magios die, bonerwall gets more counters.  Oty's only add to it, poison kills.
Match: Decided to bring my version of this.  His version had catapults, as well as me only drawing 1 poison in top 14 cards, then topdecked an arse (so useful), then dieing.

Spoiler for Game 7 - Win- Guard the Staves!:

Deck: Saw mention of this as I was perusing the gravy team chat for last war, figured it would be a very strong deck vs gravy.  Guards for more adrenaline synergy.
Match: Was debating the entire time on whether to use this or use catatitans.  Figured he wouldn't run eternity, and this is a bit more resilient.  He gpulled my first 2 adrenalined guards, then I momentumed his ghost and flew a stave.  He topdecked a gpull, but couldn't kill the staff with just a nymph.  Adrenalined next turn, and finished with a nice EM.

Spoiler for Game 8 - Loss - Cheetah:

Deck: See above
Match: Had a 3 quanta start, and he had a 2nd? turn nymph.  Got to play a single armagio the entire game.  Worked suprisingly well.

Deck: Pretty common sense deck, stallbreaker, rush, and rushbreaker (heals). 
Match: Was expecting the quantatroll again, or water deck (because nils is infamous for using water in the final final battle).  Adrenaline is rushy and beats freeze.  Drew both the life pillar and life pend in top 4 cards, so had a surplus of life quanta with a bunch of life cards.  Mito'd, adrenalined twice, and healed 3 times even with a nymph staring me in the face.

Fantastic Games Nilsie, even with less upgrades you almost got me

[Cheesy111]

Black Sands has 18 upgrades.

[deuce22]

Black Sands has 18 upgrades.

Game 1 also has only 16 upgrades.

Please confirm these were the codes u actually used.

[Avenger]

Hmm, that 18 ups means... what?

[Absol]

Hmm, that 18 ups means... what?

That means he used 1 extra upgrade than allowed = illegal deck = loss = nils for Gravity Master.

[majofa]

Should he change the name of deck 3 to Cheetah instead of deck 4?  (Sorry, had to)

[Rutarete]

  (Sorry, had to)

If you hadn't, I might have.

[Laxadarap]

Black Sands has 18 upgrades.

Game 1 also has only 16 upgrades.

Please confirm these were the codes u actually used.

Deck one only had 18 upgrades, only had 5 overdrives and honestly forgot to up the last one for the game.  I'm not sure about black sands, because the deck was originally 30 cards, but I modded it before the game, and didn't save deck code.  Mod was -1 golem, +2 diamonds, and I believe I unupgraded another bhole, but I don't have the deck code so I'm really not sure.  I remember using 3 bholes in actual game, 2 were unupped, one was upped (although that is not statistically significant to say anything).  I did double check all my decks, but it is possible that I missed it twice.
TL:DR modded deck, don't have exact code of what I used, not sure if I used 18 ups.
