DECKS:

Let me start by saying this.  I was rooting for KDZ.  I've been disappointed in myself ever since the last war, and life deserved better than last.  I mean sure, I could have appointed a general, but life master is supposed to be the BEST life player!  I was sincerely hoping that didn't apply anymore.

So the first thing I did was stealthy.  I didn't ban his favorite life cards.  Without spirits?  Without phase shield or fractal?  Without flying weapon?  Killz would have been crippled.  Instead I banned the counters to my decks.  I didn't want to use banning cards as a weapon, more as a shield.  I wanted to see if he'd solved his two biggest problems.

1.  Killz couldn't rush.
2.  Killz couldn't adapt.

So I loaded up my anti-spirit deck and fought Killz, to see what happened.  He lost.  Easily.

Code: [Select]

What could his spirits do?  They can't outgrow poison, and once locked, he had nothing.  And, predictably, he didn't even take a shield.  My cells damaged him to death.  He couldn't outrush it.

1-0  Gl1tch.

Now the question was, could killz adapt?  Could he come up with a counter to my deck?  If I took the same deck, would I just plow him for five fights?  And the answer was no.  He adapted  He made a fractal frog with lobo and outrushed me.

1-1

So, now pretty sure he could adapt, I made my next deck.  Fractal poison, to see if he could rush.

Well, I screwed the pillar balance up in the deck, and he defeated it relatively easily.  But, if I remember correctly, he played a rush deck.  This was new.  It wasn't perfect, it was more of a creature spam than anything else, but it was an improvement.  I needed to fix my deck to make sure it was an actual rush deck, proving him the better man.

1-2  KDZ

So I fixed my deck.

He played an adrenaline stave deck with dragons, but they got killed by my shields and I out healed him.

2-2

Aggravated he was switching back to his old standbys, I played my anti-spirit deck again.  He played his spirit deck again.
3-2 Gl1tch

I decided to go flying staves, my counter to the predictable phase shield stall.  And he did something that surprised me.

He rushed.

3-3

It was at that point I knew that I would lose.  He had done it, he'd fixed all his problems, he was the better man.  So I gave him the fight he wanted.  I brought out /the/ deck.  Adrenaline time.

Code: [Select]

And he outrushed it.  It was close, but he rushed.  I couldn't have been happier.  3-4  KDZ.

I dropped the best rush deck I had, and it's anti-rush as well.  To beat it, 70% of his damage had to not only be more than my damage, but it had to kill me BEFORE I dropped wings.  And he outrushed it.  I didn't think it possible.

Killz did EVERYTHING to earn this position, and I'll be damned if someone says otherwise.  I'll be honored to serve under the best life elemental in the game.

The old king is slain.

Long live the king.

Heh.  I'm also glad you won so that epic avatar gets use.  I'd never pick it over dapper swain =P

[Zeru]

I'm disappointed after seeing the decks. You had a month to prepare and didn't even use life towers. You went easy on him. Could be so much faster. Even with only 12 upped cards.
