This is by far my favorite deck for this trials, but I happened to have the two worst hands ever AFTER I tested it. This game I discarded a Voodoo instead of my single Immolation. Drew 3 Immolations afterwards and lost all my attack power. Fatal error lost me the match for sure, but I may have lost to Wardens anyway.

I made the mistake of thinking he'd continue to play creature decks and didn't take Poison. In the end I BARELY scraped by a win with Bolts. I suspect he could have killed me and chose not to.

After I saw SoD's, Sundials, and expected Miracle, I just quit. I'd wasted enough time already. May have thrown away a win here though as he was relatively short on Light.

Decided enough was enough. Rushed the crap out of him in 6 turns. 5 if not for a Dissipation Shield.

Aaah crap. Knew I was going to do this too.

Again I tried to use my favorite deck. I had a better initial hand, but drew nothing the rest of the game. Once again my favorite deck failed to deliver.

Sturdy old MonoFire was too much for Voids to handle, though I did lose a Phoenix to Shadow.

Went with what is probably my signature deck again. Dusk blocked a minimum 75% of my attacks. Pardon my language, but fuck Dusk.

Very absentminded apparently.

Went with MonoFire again and ended up throwing away the match in frustration. Had I held on to my 3 Bolts I'd have won 3 turns later, but I gave up and tossed them all. This should have come down to a 4-4 epic finale.

Well done Sot. You're more patient than I am and you've proven that Fire is better at stalling than anything else, a fact that I will sooner die than accept. I had a good run and now that it's over, it's time for me to move on. Congratulations and may you have a good reign. Congratulations on becoming the Grandmaster Blondey.

I'd really learned to love Vanadiums in my earlier trials matches, as they could get out fast and would pretty reliably stop rushes. Various versions of this deck were my mvps from phase 2 so I sent it out on point. Could've been a close game but Nap's offense was stunted and so despite her CCing most of my offense as it came out, I eventually gathered enough golems to finish it.

Yeah... honestly I wouldn't say this deck is that great, even with Napalm's lack of PC. Still, Duck + Vamp can do a lot by itself, and the SoV could ignore her BWs, so it was a very close game. ?? = Upped Shards of Void.

Hooray for firestall. 
Naps quit early as she felt she couldn't overcome dials+SoD+miracle in time to survive my Fahren. I was surprised that she quit, but as I had 3 dials, 3 bolts, and a miracle in hand, she most likely was just saving us time.

discord vs Napalm queen of the immorush? *shrug* idk I though maybe I'd get lucky.
2nd turn discord! 
6th turn defeat!   
EDIT: turns out Napalm used way too many upgrades in this match, so her deck while effective was also illegal. :/

I actually LIKE firestalls. For a while I didn't use them because the hipster side of me felt they were too popular, but potential OPness aside, they fit my preferred playstyle too well for me to just ignore them. So I embrace the dark side. The... very bright dark side? yeah there are probably better metaphors I could use. Anyway FS did it's thing nicely, though a BB'ed doll slowed things down somewhat.

I was so close in my last game with this deck that I decided to give it a try again. Unfortunately, she drew more fahrens then I had deflags, and I never got either dusk or vamp going, either which might've given me a chance. Fahren incinerated the rest of my health in short order.

Since I still had a game or two of "cushion" between me and the final duel, I kept playing with this deck hoping to get it to work properly. I never drew enough SoVs to do what i wanted, but dusk + vamp have been known to win games by themselves before and they did it again this time, with some stellar blocking on the part of dusk to keep back the ever growing numbers of phoenix on the field.

Play mistake by Napalm allowed me to keep a crimson on the field, which was critical since I was too low on  to play both my miracles and angels. Several SoD/miracles later and an eventual fahren gave me the victory for today. *whew*

[ralouf]

Very tasty introduction, looking forward those matchs, gl to both of you, may the power of fire be with you

[willng3]

Tell no one that the match was played, then update.  Biggest surprise ever when the timer runs out.

[deuce22]

                 ...and here it ends.

some foreshadowing for Nap?

[YoungSot]

No bans from Napalm? :O
Squiggles! Explain yourself!

Ok we have agreed to go ahead and use the bans napalm would have submitted. Both sets of bans are posted above.

[majofa]

So that's why ~Napalm didn't send in her bans, evidently she's been kidnapped again.....

The true ~Napalm would never spell Phoenix like this:  'Pheonix'

[YoungSot]

It looks like the mistress of Fire and myself will be clashing tonight (Friday, March 2nd) starting at 7pm CST (GMT = 1am March 3rd).
Come and watch if you can!

[MrBlonde]

Congratulations on becoming the Grandmaster Blondey.[/b]

[Bonestorm]

Congratulations on the win YoungSot

[Sevs]

Congrats YoungSot!
