well this was unfortunate along with a dodgy comp during the match and the occasional bit of bad luck it's over.

I felt this matchup could of had a different result third turn chaos dunes followed by a fourth turn chaos dune and no diss field or purify for me it was game eternity only slowed my fate.

Well this game caused a lot of drama of which I was partly responsible things started of badly for me only one quanta draw and 3 mutates followed shortly by two more by the time I finally got a mutant out cal had all the cc he needed to cut my onslaught down, we replayed to try and settle the argument and again I get one quanta draw I got a quicker mutant out but still all the cc was waiting for me both time I got nice mutants but both times they were rendered useless this is the only game I have no video for and I'm not sure if my videos will work or not you draw what you want from this game I felt I should've won but that is me.

So my run in this trials has come to a dissappointing conclusion but I will return next time and hopefully I will do better. As for mine and cals dispute I guess I ought to apologise profusely I lost my cool it however doesn't mean I like Calindu but as long as we are able to work alongside one another in the future that is all I want.

Until next time may chaos guide you.

Finally my Pandebonium more focused on stalling than poison plus I like growing Vultures

Spoiler for reasoning behind bans:

Well the part that I'm sure some people were keen to see why I banned what I did well I shall oblige
First ban that came to mind was Nova as that means no fast bows and greatly slows down Grabbows which Cal is quite fond off
Now the reasoning why I chose to ban Earthquake and Black Hole over Discord for a start Disco had become expensive after banning Nova and Earthquake and BH can be used well in decks other than Discake and DBH even with a 50% in element restriction so I banned 2 cards that did the same result as banning disco would for less.
Dimensional Shields were banned because entro struggles for decent pc in element and making space for deflags and pulvy was just too unreliable in my opinion without the usage of bows and I was convinced cal would restrict my bow options
and finally Deflagration ban I had built a fair few stalls most of which would have died to a simple deflag use so I decided to stop that risk, I considered banning Fire Bolts instead as Cal had used the entrofirestall in a previous trials but I felt banning a card that was only for one specific deck that may have been used was to high risk
If I had got my maths right I would have also banned Quantum Pillar and Short sword to restrict Cal further however the Short Sword was more a leftver ban rather than anything else.

[Higurashi]

Must say I like the looks of tree's bans. That shuts down a lot and makes a certain strategy the most viable for Cal.. that plays in tree's favour. With the big disadvantage in ups, you'll need it. That said, 16 isn't little either. I look forward to seeing how this turns out. Good luck tree, you'll need it against Cal's good luck :>

[Chapuz]

I am willing to see Cals decks with that bans. Go random, and good luck to both of you

Spoiler for Explanation of bans:

Discord: This is pretty obvious, I had it prepared to be banned since I even saw the rules, Discord can slow down most decks by 2 turns, and still has a good damage after, but it was mostly the ability that made me ban it.

Antimatter: I feel this was my best ban, took him away from stalling me whenever he wants, I wouldn't need to fear a sudden AM whenever I play a creature, also made me sure he can't easily stop my rushes that easy.

Poison: This was a ban in case I needed to mostly stall, but it was still a nice ban, Pandebonium is sure a scary deck and I'm happy I haven't needed to face it.

Graboid: Was thinking about banning Dim over it but I'm happy I did not(Thanks Jenkar!), took him away the grabbow, which could outrush most of my decks and escape my CC.

Quantum Pillar(Odd # games): This was a ban I made just for using that last point I had, good ban for 1 point lol.

Calindu OP

[Jen-i]

Thanks for the clear and concise match reports Cal

And congrats on the win

[treebeard xiii]

videos uploaded for every game except 6 as my computer borked so had to restart it so video wasn't saved.

edit: have added my list of unused decks and the reasoning behind my bans

[Calindu]

Thanks for the clear and concise match reports Cal

And congrats on the win

Thanks, that's mostly because I know tree has videos of the match actually, posted an explanation of bans and unused decks instead

[Vangelios]

 No surprises here, as expected, tree still managed to win one round and avoid 5-0, well done.
