3rd Trials - Phase 1 - Proving of Worthiness

[Higurashi]

Since Aether has a LOT of options, there have been none there. Funnier though, is the fact that mrblonde and I both made Dim Shield+Deathrush. His is better due to being able to use Death pendies/Towers though. Speeds it up a lot.

Well, I would switch, but I've already bought all the upgrades for Crusader/Dagger, so I'm kind of screwed unless I use it.  And jippy doesn't seem to mind.

Yeah, this was to be expected, especially with the bans.  I wouldn't be surprised if other elements' trials are having similar clashes.

You can't "call dibs" on a deck. There are no rules saying you can't use the same deck, it's just polite not to use the same one.

The challenge does, however, say MAKE a new deck.

Well, it's not jippy's opinion the one that matters here unfortunately. Please, make a new deck, as the rules ask you to. Jippy's deck is already unoriginal. I think I'm not asking too much if I require you to go copy another idea on the Forums.

Thanks for noticing that.  Ill go change them.

Question:  Can I post on an other card since other is technically not an element?

Probably not since you're not going for "Other" Trials, you're going for "Light" Trials.

So... we're both being required to find new decks?  I mean, he didn't MAKE a new deck either.  I didn't copy an idea on the forum myself, I designed my deck without looking at anyone else's.  And I already spent around 45,000 electrum upgrading mine, since you said no trainer.  The rules say nothing about no two challengers being allowed to post remotely similar decks.

If I'm the only one being asked to scrap, and it's not because he called "dibs," then it's a double standard.

Also - as he pointed out - my deck is significantly different from both his deck and the "Vader Sader" one already posted.  Mine fits more towers, neglects pendulums, and incorporates Dusk Shield.

As is mine.  Mine has only 1 animate, dragons, solar shields, packs more pillars and no pendulums.  I made my deck right after I signed up for the trials and had no idea of vader sader then.  But if you want me to make a new deck, then ok.

The point is optimizing a deck for farming HB's. I agree that this is very hard to do for Light without Miracle, but still. One of you should change decks (jippy has the first option on what to use). Otherwise we would see only Aether Stalls for Aether, Fire Stalls for Fire, etc.

Tip: try to think outside the box. Try to think of a good general strategy and add Light to it. (look at Ryan's Phase Shield style-deck)

Ill do a second one, with the one I will do being the primary one.
