G2 counters vs warden stall… no sop= loss for him
G3 golems vs death stall outdecked
G4 warden vs devs, lost by sop + eq
G5 frankenshard vs golems + disco= lost because no sob for me and weak monster
G6 counters vs death stall, won with purify
G7 fractagnomes loss vs fractawarden loss because no gnomes in half deck
G8 Counters .. vs wardens again...loss :(
ggs Blacksmith, I am really sad to let my title go especially since I felt my decks we're strong enough to grant me another title. I hope you make earth go a long way next war.

Tales of the Baron.
There once was a pall who had a dream, it was a dream of "becoming something" in this World of elements. ,,,,,,, During his path he has faced many players, both friends and others. 8 months ago the little pall won his first tourney that was followed by 2 3 places, he was thrilled. Bl was another event, there he made a new friend with the fabulous Vangelios, a player that he always had good connection too. later on tree_beard joined in on the friends list among many others like Oa Time passed and he joined war, there he did his best even so the team couldn't cary the light to victory, however he found a friend in the light wizard. The little janky had now gotten many friends along the way when he entered the far lands. The friends back from kong always encouraged him and helped him along the way¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸ The time had come to face the gates to the immortal masters, to the gods of every existing element.
Along the way to the gates he fought powerful enemies but he managed to stand up and his friends who knew his abilities helped him to open the gate. ••••Baron Blacksmith now entered the gates and could feel the glory pulsate in the walls, he was close to achieve his goal but 1 man stood in between him and his goal, Lord Paper. The fight wore close but in the end baron managed to claim another victory and tread the throne of his dreams.
Game 1
I worked hard on that deck, made around 10 different version until I found out that that version was the best to start with. The deck is fairly fast and you should have at least 2 novas in start hand 70% of the games, I play unupped gnomes so they won't interfear with the novas, in other words I play less upps then I can on fault.
Got a decent draw if it hadn't been that his golem was protekted, first trun warden didn't help. Got out rushed.
Game 2
I had 6 decks decided before the game started that I should play in a certain order, so there is not a mistake that I play un upped wardens in first just to confuse mr paper in his deck choice( can go deeper into deck choices and predictions if anyone ask for it, I can also add screenshots. ).
Once again I got first turn warden but no sop, I was able to hold him back until it was 10 cards left in deck then he won, I drew my sop the turn before. Rng
Game 3
What is this? that is the question I asked myself when I made it. Since sop beats most stalls I thought it would be smart to play 1 myself. SS and sosac does not work well together but in testing I managed to get around 30 on some SS if I chain sundials and wardens long enough. Wardens+bone wall+sundial works great together.
Got a ok draw and many wardens won me the game, he playing a deck made to sob was good too. I won but he could just as well have won this if I hadn't drewn my sosacs in time.
Game 4
This deck is evil, I made it 2 hours before the game. The devour works good in combination with sop since it can burrow and then get double attack buff from sop+no other evil cc cards.
He played nymph tears with squids and Poseidon. I destroyed 2 pends early and got a devour, I managed to get a warden too. match went like it should even if he managed to get his Poseidon going and a nymph in play he never really got a chance to use it.
Game 5
Another denial deck. This time I faced his shard golem. He got a second turn golem with 11 damage and with a slow deck like denial this wasn't the best match up. The disco+Bh saved me they wore able to eat ≈25 hp and that was enough for me on last turn, I also drew the wings and this time his golem didn't have airborne.
Game 6
I tried this deck again, I faced a fast rainbow and even if he wouldn't have played that purify he probably would have won.
Game 7
Another deck that was made 2hours before game. This deck is evil however I forgot to add silence so when I saw aether mark I was certain I would lose.
I got a good draw and was able to play a sea of wardens 5 turn I think, paper got his earth shield but when I was able to deal over 50 damage 2 turns in a row and had another 6wardens in play I won.
Game 8
Could be last game scary scary scary. I ended it like I started it with that deck above^( with a small mod ).
This game was extremely close. I ended this match like I started it with the deck above^, with a small mod. This time disco didn't help ( which I had hoped sine both nova and immo was baned from him ). Mid game I had 2 wardens with 8 attack while he had 1 dagger and 1 sanc, in total he healed 10 a turn and my wardnes had a full time job destroying creatures he played. At last I managed to get more wardens so the bog ones could attack. I won with 2 hp left, if he had drawn another creature tha could have damaged it would have been 4-4.
GOOD GAMES MR PAPER you really gave me a fight I will not soon forget. I had a hard time coming up with viable counter myself to the sop+warden decks so instead of counter them I played them, I doubt I would have won if it was the opposite way around.( that you had my bans and upps and so on. )
At last thank you everyone who has helped me along my journey. This community aren't good it's fabulous, so low amount of stupid people and annoying people and so many fantastic human beings, thank you community. Also thank you to all who voted for me and all who prayed for me.

but for Vangelios the dream of be a master is gone definitely, bravely fighting and winning gravity knights and a mysterious fire challenger
it was besieged and betrayed by occult powers of nature, however for other missions its flames incredible are lit as has never before been.
and really I am very happy to see a good battle buddy achieve its purpose, you won brilliantly of the legendary opponents.
Congrats honored Baron and master of earth.
maybe in the future I can have a new master, will depend on some actions of the current master of the Vangelios.
see you...

I've never seen someone use Novas/Snovas in -every- single final battle deck x)
Makes me wonder how much more down to earth decks would've been with a Nova ban.
Get it?

*tales of the baronI somehow regret banning dimensional shield instead of the nova... I thought without graboid, novas wouldnt be THAT useful and went with dims to avoid using pc in most decks.

Hey Baron, I'm glad to see the Baron of Fire as master of the earthThank you bud, glad to hear it. I really wish you had been given the same chance.

I probably made 15 grammatical errors in that post and I'm sure you found them all. Thank you for your spelling correction, it was a pretty big one.( I guess I was pretty tiered when I wrote that ) And yup I do get it.
Some really nice decks there, Smith.
I really respect you RR and to hear that from you makes me even happier, thank you.

I'm surprised you didn't ban nova however dim shield is very good too, I thought your bans wore good.
I think it depends more of the SoP than the Nova
I use a version and goes well
True Terra Tides works very good with just pends. With nova it becomes a bit faster and you can add more different elements.
The dekc you posted looks good. This is how I played it in the round 2 games

Congratulations Baron Blacksmith, the new master of Earth ! May the :light shine on your Rein ;)Ahh thank you, I'm glad you liked the Tale.. Yeah really looking forward to war too now, it feels more special to know that you will be the leader this time than I thought.
Very nice lore description too ! 8)

Note Baron Blacksmith is also card invented by Vangelios, thought it would be fun to use here since a baron fits better in the story than a blacksmith.
