[Antagon]

Antagon 1(2)-0 xdude

1st game i won really fast

2nd game there was like 8 desyncs, i only saw entropy mark and some pendulums from his deck, he said, its most likely that my deck would have won, so he conceded. good games

[Demagog]

Just guessing, his second deck may have been flying glories and pandemonium.

So I get to fight Antagon in an official fight?
That will surely be interesting.

3 kevkev60614 - 2 Dragoon

Man, these were the most intense games I've played in a long, long time.  I had to rework my decks because of the rule change, but I've been working on these on and off for a while now.  Even tested some of the ideas against other players (thanks Mr. Blonde and cokeandaspirin).

Game 1

Code: [Select]

595 595 595 595 595 595 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f3 5f3 5f3 5f3 5f6 5f6 5f6 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fcWasn't sure what he'd play, but went with this deck since it has decent speed and an answer to speed Immolation decks.  Game was pretty decidedly mine.  He was playing a poison/bolt deck.  I deflag'd his Arsenic and kept throwing out Spirits and Phoenixes which he eventually was forced to do something about.  But it was too much for him.

Game 2

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f6 5f6 5f6 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5uu 5v0 5v0 5v0 5v0 5v0I thought he might go with a more control deck so I pulled out my anti-control deck.  He couldn't do much about my RP'd Voodoo Dolls and ended up using his CC on my Phoenix and Life.  Won by a decent margin.

Game 3

Code: [Select]

593 593 593 593 593 593 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f6 5f6 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5gi 5gi 5gi 5giI thought he would go with a speed aggro deck since his control-oriented decks weren't working.  So I went with my EQs.  Unfortunately, he went with Immolations instead of Pillars.  He won by a turn or two I believe.

Game 4

Code: [Select]

595 595 595 595 595 595 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f3 5f3 5f3 5f3 5f6 5f6 5f6 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fcI went back to my first deck that had a decent answer to his Golems in game 3.  But he was one step ahead of me and used Phoenixes instead of Golems.  Still, it wouldn't have been too bad if he hadn't gotten 5 (or was it 6?) Immolations in his first 14-15 cards.  He was able to use them on the Phoenix to bring it back quickly.  But even with that I was within a turn of killing him.  And then all of a sudden, he gets the only card that could've won it for him—a Crimson Dragon.  : P

Game 5

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f3 5f3 5f3 5f3 5f6 5f6 5f6 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rkI made this deck on the fly, but I really thought he would go for that Immolation deck again.  And I was right.  Unfortunately, I was gimped by only getting 2 Pillars the whole game.  I RT'd his Phoenix 3 or so times, but because of my slow quantum build-up, I couldn't put enough creatures out fast enough to win it for me.


Those were some seriously awesome games kevkev.  I had a lot of fun.  Good luck against Antagon.

Well.  That was tremendously nerve-racking.  kev 3 - Drag 2

I'm glad Drag commented on his own decks cuz I blacked out for a minute there, and mainly I was concentrating on not screwing up.  I played a poisonbolt first and a lightning/fire bolt second and lost both.   

Next I played a straight up speed golem deck against his speed golem deck, and mine was a touch faster.  Earthquakes were an interesting choice on his part given the lack of pillars in a lot of decks, but I can't blame him given I'd played two bolt decks and no pendulums.

The fourth game was a FREAKSHOW.  Crazy Brain Drag decided on a BB deck, despite my having played two creatureless decks.  I played an immo/phoenix deck and managed to draw FIVE IMMOS, immediately immoing my BB'd phoenixes.  He has fast damage, though, and he's one turn from clubbing me like a seal.  I think I'm short on damage and I only have one dragon in this deck, so I'm pretty much... HOLY ****.

Game five I used the same deck because obviously a leprechaun wiped his butt with it.  He used a rewind deck, which is again an awesome choice against my nearly pillarless immo deck.

Come to think of it, I'm really not sure how I won.  Fantastic games, Dragoon.

[Corrum]

Sounds like some really good games you two, Grats.

[Antagon]

Zeru 2-0 Antagon

first game, i think, it was really close but unlucky with too many pillar-draws, so i lost in the end

2nd match the deck discord took away all the time the needed quanta, so no chance to turn the game.


ggs both.

You and Essence sure take your sweet time. Not nice.. delaying the hole thing like this. Am I the only one who can't wait for the Phase 3 to be over? I bet the Challengers would love to start phase 4 as well.
