Congrats Root and good luck in the grand master duel, You deserve it and I'm NOT sad in see you as a Master of Fire

[Physsion]

TrO approved. Congratulations on your Fire mastery, Root, and for becoming eligible for the first Grandmaster Battle with deuce22. We'll keep you posted on this.

Well played, Vang, despite you saying you're taking a break from Elements, I hope we still see you around the forums and in the chat.

[deuce22]

If anyone could take the Grandmaster title from me, it's Root. Much respect.

[dragonsdemesne]

All your mastership are belong to us.rootranger.

[Blacksmith]

Congrats Root, well done. Also well done Vang elios 

[Jenkar]

Very well done, and deserved. Congratulations Root.

[mrpaper]

Grats to Root, I was hoping you'd get the title as you led fire perfectly last war.  I am somehow happy Vang came to did his matches as I didn't wanted to be the one beating you and making fire a masterless element (though you would likely have won anyway).  We may do the match for bragging rights anyway!

[mrpaper]

If any cares.... I just won 5-4 over RootRanger... those were good games... with 0 pressure of course!
might update decks tomorrow.
I'm glad I didn't face him 1st as I wanted him to succeed!

I ain't sure of which game was which decks but here it goes..

grabbow
I  believe I went 2-1 with this... grabbow is always fast and burrowed grabbow are good vs rof or BW... though one of the games I drew only a nova all game long.

  The counter deck. Went 1-1 with this also.  The upped nymphs survived a rp or  rofs and are good to be a dragon/Seraph killer while I have steals and purify if he go heavy on permanent or poison.

earth duo.. steel golems are amazing to resist damage while being still low cost.  I believe I went 2-0 with this.

burning voodoos... tried this once but the 30 upped cards for him makes him too fast for this deck... 0-1

[Vangelios]

 Interesting paper but you know... one game played only by fun is different than one duel with a title award, is another atmosphere. Also you saw the decks played by Root and you can do a better idea of Root style, also this don't surprise me because I lost 2 games by RNG and one maybe by mistake.

 Anyway I was not eager to be master of fire like in the past, paradoxical falls, one part of me really wanted to see Root as master of fire and try the grand master even because  I'll be bit inactive in ETG, I need to enjoy other things in RL as friends, family and even other interesting communities as well, but this no be a farewell, is a pause, I still like of ETG but less than before...

And anyway I intended to lose of 5-4 and not 5-2. but I'm happy with these duels after all.

Edit: videos excluded

[mrpaper]

To Vang, this wasn't a knock against you... Root would have adjust more to me if it was a real match... instead he was ready 5 seconds after each match was over.   I believe though you should have ban a death card (poison, arse or bw).... and since you didn't  then expect to see lots of death duos, which I did.  the bans we're great in my opinion for the rest though.  Also, I ain't sure if you have many upped fire nymphs which we're major in my deckbuilding.
* Also, I updated previous post with decks
