Phase 3 - Battles

Please post Phase 3 results here. Thanks.

[GG]

I have lost and learned many lessons.



Game 1 : Graviton Fireeaters vs Mono-gravity (1-0)
I got two fireeaters and a titan out from the start and won easily.

Game 2 : Deathstalker Gravity vs Mono-gravity (2-0)
He had an oty out, which was really annoying since my deathstalkers are going to be killed. after about 7 turns, i realized that devouring deathstalkers poisons oty (yes. i realized that long after the duel started) and played them along with chargers.
At the end, PF had 4 poison charges and 12 HP, i had 3 chargers. precise damage ftw.

Game 3~11 : Discord - BH vs Dune Scorps (2-1)
As i mentioned, we went through about 8 desyncs. i got a really nice hand or draw that involved discords and stuff. PF didn't seem to have such good draws. then, for the first time, i had no discord for the first 8 turns and that HAD to be the duel with no desync. i felt really.... uneasy about it.
i uselessly drew black holes only, so used them to prevent the dune scorps to come out, but PF's creatures overwhelmed me.

Game 12 : Fire Eaters vs Plate Armored Oty (2-2)
well rage potions here and there, and i lost.

Game 13 : Fire Eaters vs Adren Graviton Merces (2-3)
I was an absolute idiot in this game. after seeing the life mark, i immediately thought of my adren mercs, but somehow i decided to use a rage potion on my armagio instead. that one stupid move cost the game.



Thank you PF for the great games. I've learned the following lessons:
1. do not be so sure of yourself; just because you've won the first two matches doesn't mean that you will win the last one as well.

2. explore more about

3. don't make stupid moves; they cost an entire match.


I'll keep these in heart when going against Jumbalumba.

[Jumbalumba]

Jumbalumba 2 - 0 Essence

Essence went the same deck both times relying on lobo to shut down my momentum and I guess shield to stop my creatures for half the time. Problem was he never got his shield out.

I was afraid of freeze mostly so both my decks had a good amount of creatures (well 11/12). First was Graviton Firemaster and Phoenix. Second was Chargers and Titans.

I know Water wouldn't really do on it's own so both decks had a good amount of Black Holes.

Master battle against MrBlonde

Jumbalumba 2 - 0 MrBlonde

Game 1 - I consider Death as mainly a stalling, slowish type of element that tries to accumulate damage slowly so I went with an all out attack deck. Seemed to work well but MrBlonde did say he had a bad hand.

Game 2 - Again I wanted to counter his options especially any potential shields and healing. So I went with Earth and Pulverizers and Quicksand. He did have a first turn Arsenic but couldn't really get out anything else to really damage me enough before I destroyed all his permanents and shut him down despite me losing my 3 chargers pretty quickly.

Grats, looking forward to our fight.

Round 1 i did have a bad hand but honestly i would have had to have had a very good draw to win. I would have had to have had my oty's out by round 3-4 with a couple SoG's out. Unfortunately i had nothing by turn 4-5.

[Jumbalumba]

Jumbalumba loses to Zeru 1-2

Game 1
I went with a stall, heal kill him with my 1 Titan in weapon slot. Didn't work because we had a full on attack deck with abom and dragons.

Game 2
I went for a deck out deck really but I actually killed him. Armagios with Discord and black hole to deny.

Game 3
Was a close battle. He had quanta denial and while I did go with a low quanta deck I didn't have enough pillars/pendulums to allow me to keep playing my things so I lost but it was close and could have gone either way at the penultimate turn although odds were against me (cursed Discord).

Jumbalumba loses 0-2 to MrBlonde

Game 1
I used a near perfect deck against his imo but unfortunately I only got 2 towers out and couldn't stop him >_>

Game 2
I tweaked my first deck a bit with more towers but he went with poison stall which I couldn't get past.

Game 1

Actually i would kinda agree here. I thought i packed 3 lances in my deck but in fact had only 2. Pulling one early allowed me to prevent your early oty from eating my creatures. If you had 2 of them out you would have been able to devour all my dmg.
