We will both try to hold our battles starting at this time (Wednesday, 4:30 EST). I may be late, though, and other things may come up.

[MrBlonde]

Just want to thank Coinich for being a great Master of Death and we had a great battle. Here is my writeup of the matchup with my decks although i probably won't remember all of Coinich's decks. I won 5-3. Upped cards were even at 17. For this matchup i made 8 specific decks to try to beat him.

Round 1 (0-0)

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52h 52h 710 713 713 713 713 713 713 71a 71a 71b 71b 80a 80a 80a 80a 80a 80aThis matchup was pretty close. Coinich played a fractal/recluse deck and it came down to my bonewall falling and losing on the last turn. If i had found my other bonewall i would have won this matchup. But seeing that this game didn't last that long i would have had to have been lucky to have found it.


Round 2 (0-1)

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 5ib 5ib 5ib 5ib 5ib 5ib 718 718 718 718 718 718 71a 71a 7gk 7gk 7gk 7gk 7gk 7gk 7gk 7gk 7gkSo i tried to go to a creature control deck with my squids. Unfortunately i only was able to get out 1 squid the whole game and his fractal/recluses just overwhelmed me. I believe he played the same deck as round 1. At this point i was a bit discouraged.

Round 3 (0-2)

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 5og 5og 5ol 5ol 713 713 713 713 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n5 7n5This round to counteract the fractal i decided that i needed creature control and a shield. Coinich feeling that a change was coming to counter him decided to go to a gravity/death deck with condors and oty's with some bonewalls. Unfortunately for him i got out my fog shield pretty early (was irrelevant though) and an Eagle Eye. Basically he got stuck with two 0/2 oty's and a 1/2 condor on his field. He did have his arsenic out but it couldn't dmg and poison me fast enough.

Round 4 (1-2)

Code: [Select]

4vl 4vl 4vl 4vl 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6u7 6u7 6u7 6u7 713 713 713 713 7n2 7n2So now i decided to take a chance and play my entropy deck in the hopes that i pulled an early discord which i did (2nd round). He was playing a fire deck but my early discord messed him up pretty badly. He managed to destroy two of my discords and get an oty out but since i never played a creature and i replaced my discords right away he died a slow death. He also never played a creature with damage probably due to him figuring i had antimatters and was saving them for a one turn kill. Orrr he just had bad quanta issues.

Round 5 (2-2)

Code: [Select]

52g 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52o 52q 52q 52q 52q 52q 52q 710 710 710 710 710 710 710 7ai 7ai 7an 7an 7an 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2
Now here i made an error in playing this deck. I tested this out earlier and being unupped i found it a bit too slow. Which is what it ended up as. Coinich played a darkness deck with steals/fractals/pests with aether towers. I lost by 2 turns in this one.

Round 6 (2-3)

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52h 52h 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 710 710 710 710 710 710 710 713 713 713 713 713 713 71a 71a 7t8 7t8I knew this round was important because if i lost this one i figured i was done. I won this one solely because i think Coinich messed up his deck trying to fix it. He mentioned he destabilized it and i believe him since all he ever did was play 2 recluses. My 1 devourer that made it out obviously did nothing to him quanta-wise and because he had a darkness mark i never played my shields.

Round 7 (3-3)

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61r 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 713 713 713 713 718 718 718 718 718 718 71a 71a 808 808 80a 80a 80aI could feel another fractal deck coming so i decided to go with my stall deck. Coinich also made one crucial mistake in this matchup which cost him. Coinich once again played a darkness deck with fractals/recluses a steal and a nightfall. What probably saved my bacon this matchup was that i had a horrible draw and could not draw a bone tower. Because of this i had a bunch of aether towers out but with no bone tower he probably thought i was going fractal. When i finally played my bone tower he stole that tower. After that it was a phase shield chain with him having a full field of nightfalled recluses that couldn't do anything. I think i had one recluse out (that i TU'd) and i managed to poison him a little bit. I think the whole match i had no more then 1 bone tower out. If Coinich doesn't steal my bone tower he wins this match.

Round 8 (4-3)

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52h 52h 52o 718 718 718 718 718 71a 71a 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9And for our final match i used my final deck. I really didn't purposely try to use 8 different decks but i felt this deck was decent enough to win. Basically i rewound and poisoned and stalled to the victory. I was fortunate because i won this coin flip and i ended up winning on the last turn. Coinich played a life/death deck with recluses and feral bond and i believe fractal (Coinich loves fractal BTW). He did manage to get out a feral bond with 4-6 recluses out but it wasn't enough since i had a bit of poison on him and had a bone dragon out. Sundials were enough to stall him as my Arsenic continued to damage and poison.

Tough and very enjoyable matchup. I just want to thank Coinich again for his time as Master of Death and hope that i can live up to the title.

PhantomFox and I will (trying to) be having our battle some time between http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=5&day=19&year=2010&hour=22&min=0&sec=0&p1=179 and http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=5&day=20&year=2010&hour=1&min=0&sec=0&p1=179

[icybraker]

Congrats, MrBlonde. I especially love your last deck; upped Dials are nasty with any sort of poison. Oh, how the Masters have fallen.

[yaladilae]

Its pretty thrilling to watch too.... If only there were a better spectator mode lol

[Xinef]

Yeah... after I tried using spectator mode for the first time, which happened during the battle between Zeru and Jmizzle7, I noticed it's very... hard to watch a mutation battle when you cannot see the mutants abilities, you cannot see if an antimattered dragon is quinted etc...


Definitely video recording by one or both of players would be nice, especially when there are so many epic battles

Now I can watch my battles with PuppyChow, see where I made mistakes, see what could be improved... and obviously I can watch my great victories to boost my ego xD (Icy's ego no longer has a monopoly in this universe).

5-4 Gl1tch.

Holy crap that was close.  Will edit with details.

Now that he knew my decks, he should've known the rustlers were weak, so I upgraded those.  I was also afraid of good shields, so I brought out dragons.  In the end, it didn't matter.  My hope got high enough to lock him down, and I healed enough to make sure he'd deck out, despite a late game D/C.  (Both players agreed I won)
