Welcome, all challengers, to this season's Core Four PVP Event. PVP Events are much like larger, longer versions of the weekly PVP tournament, but with some restricted deckbuilding rules.
Core Four EVENT RULES
1. Joining
Who can join the Core Four event?
There are no restrictions. Anyone from a beginner or a seasoned veteran is welcome to join a Core Four event!
Signing up
Sign up by posting to this thread between now and 23:59 GMT on September 3rd.
Double Elimination
The Core Four Event will be a Double Elimination event.
2. Getting Ready
Building decks
The only deckbuilding restrictions in the Core Four Event are:
1) All Decks must be exactly 30 cards.
2) No non-Pillar cards outside of the Core Four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) are allowed. Yes, that means no Other cards.
3) Marks, Pendulums and Pillars of other elements are allowed.
4) You cannot use the same element more than once in each round! In other words, if you play a :water / :fire deck in the first fight, you MUST play either :earth or :air in the 2nd fight -- and if you lose, you must play the other in the 3rd fight. This means you cannot play two dual-decks in a row, because you will then be forced to play mono-Pillars in your 3rd fight. :D
Matches
Once all players have signed up, Essence will make brackets like a normal tournament, and announce matches in this thread. Players will then have three days to play thier matches. After three days, Essence will announce the next set of matches. Matches will be best-of-three.
Winning a Match
Desynchs will be replayed unless both players agree that one player was clearly going to win the match. When a match is won, the winner will post the results to this thread along with each deck he used during the match., and then the loser will ALSO post each deck he used during the match. Keep in mind, it's critical that you copy-paste your deck code before each game, and then post them in the same order as they were used in the fights, so that accurate scoring is possible. Failure to do this will constitute cheating (see below.)
Details
Finding an opponent
You are responsible for finding and arranging a match with your opponent. BCC a copy of all PMs intended to set up a match to Essence. That way, he can tell who is making an effort and who isn't. Players who aren't will be automatically defeated by their active opponent at the end of each three-day round. Players who are both inactive OR both active and cannot agree on a time will both be eliminated.
Changing your deck
You are allowed to change your deck (and mark) in any way you choose between any fight, but you only have 3 minutes to do so. If it takes you longer than 3 minutes, it is considered a forfeit and the other player goes to next round. (For this reason, it's probably wise to come up with decks before the event starts and have them ready to copy-paste into the Import/Export window between fights.)
Scoring
Special Scoring System --When you win a match, you gain points equal to 30+(the number of upgraded cards in your opponent's deck)-(the number of upgraded cards in your deck.) The person with the most score (not the most victories) at the end of the tournament wins. Yes, that means that an unupgraded deck that beats a completely-upgraded deck scores 60 points -- and a completely upgraded deck that beats a completely unupgraded deck scores 0. To correct the disparity in ladder size between winner's and loser's brackets, wins that take place in the winner's bracket are worth 30 points points per match.
The player who defeats the entire tournament gains a 60-point bonus to his score. 2nd place gets 45, and 3rd place gets 30. However, regardless of placement in the brackets, the player with the highest SCORE at the end, regardless of wins and losses, wins the event.
Cheating
We take all kind of cheating very seriously. If you get caught cheating, you automatically lose and will be banned indefinitely from all Elements community PvP and PvE events. So please play fair.
4. Other rules
Warning system
If a player quits mid-event for any reason, or disrupts the event in any way, he will receive a warning. If you get 3 warnings in a single season, you will be banned from all PvP events until the end of the NEXT season.
If you have any questions about the rules, please post them here. Thank you.

@up you could have used bigger letters, than anyone would missed your participate

Never mind I'm out.
-
i WOULD be in this awesome sounding event but i am grounded in fact i am doing this from school
-
i think im in..
1 round = 3 fights.. best of 3.. so if you win the first 2 its done?
also.. each fight is a different deck.. as in u cant use the same element at all between fights? so if i used air/fire then use water the 2nd game.. if goes to third i have to use earth only? or can it use air or fire? just want a little clarification so i can make these decks and get em ready to go.

what is not clear for you ? O.o
-
what consists a round? best 2 out of 3? i read it.. so quoting it wont do u any good. ive never done a tournament and want to make sure i have all the facts down.
i just want to make sure that if i use :air/:fire first dual.. then for duel 2 .. and 3 if needed have to be either mono or the other 2 elements.. what if i do :air/:fire and then do :earth/:water .. and it goes to the third? do i lose cuz i cant use any element?

2) No non-Pillar cards outside of the Core Four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) are allowed. Yes, that means no Other cards.
3) Marks, Pendulums and Pillars of other elements are allowed
Let's say I'm using mono water, but I have fire pillars in it. Can I use a mono-fire deck in the next round?

Yes. Pillars do not count against the Elemental type of a given deck.

Sounds interesting. Im in. Just one question: are upgraded cards allowed?
-
Never mind I didnt rerad the entire rules and skipped over the part where it metions that scoring system.
-
In. Looks like fun.
-
I'm all about new ways to play. Sign me up.
-
EDIT: After seeing the new Team PVP event come out, I have decided not to compete in this event. Sorry to whomever I offended. :)
-
Sure why not... I'll play.
Maybe I can get my revenge on Xuru.
-
i guess ill play but i hate this unuped vs uped with deck limitations also why not aether?????
*yes i have to ask cause im me even though i alredy know the answer*
-
In, thanks.
-
mojofa, will see ;)
i wonder, are there any other awards then forum award icon?
-
i guess ill play but i hate this unuped vs uped with deck limitations also why not aether?????
*yes i have to ask cause im me even though i alredy know the answer*
Because of what Essence said in the OP, "This season's Core Four event," I'm betting that if this one goes well then another CF event will be hosted with a different four elements.

Actually I think the point is that you use the four basic elements. As in ancient civilizations that believed everything was made up of one of four elements(earth, air, water, and fire)
-
Count me in (If possible)

Match 1: A pure Fire Rush vs my deck. I was brutally owned.
Match 2: I was right in this. Graboids vs Wings. Even with an horrible hand, I won. (3 pillars out of first 13 cards) We agreed that I was surely going to win.
Match 3: Well. Won due to an horrible draw on his side. Almost no pillars. Which was the worst thing against my deck.

The dictator 1 - RavingRabbid 2
Well, first of all, I had completely forgotten I had joined this one, so it came as a surprise when RR asked me in chat.
So asked some time to build my decks, and after that we started fighting.
First Battle:
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f7 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg
I won this one, because I could deflag his fahrenheit, and that was the only offensive thing I saw. Other only stupid freezes freezing my dragons, but I had a fahrenheit in my starting hand, which helped a lot.
Second Battle:
58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58s 58s 590 590 590 590 590 590 592 592 593 593 593 593
This one was lost horribly, by the time I got my graboids out, he started chaining wings, and after the first was expired and he played the second and had 3 more in his hand, I granted him the win, because there was no way he could lose. Killing his pillars wouldn't help, due to his mark of air.
Third Battle:
5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i9 5i9 5ib 5ib 5ib 5id 5id 5ie 5ie 5ie 5ie 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5on 5on 5on 5on 7n5 7n7 7n7
First battle was going really well for me, because RR had a really slow start, so I had got a dragon, a toadfish, a shield and a Eye out (last two got deflaged), and I had some shockwaves in my hand, meaning I could outdamage his pulvy and kill his creatures, but I timed out (according to RR)
Second try I got a horrible hand, with only 2 pendulums, which got EQ after the first turn. He got a very fast pulvy, and I managed to get only one toadfish out, but by that time I was down to 45 HP's, and he dropped 5 shriekers at once, killing me in one turn.
It were good games, however, luck was really deciding the games for us.
First battle RR had a bad start
Second I got owned by a perfect counter
and last battle was highly depending on our draws.

Yeah. I think I got the second round deck perfectly to counter yours.
Last battle was yours, if there was not the horrible timeout.

Special note: Due to a mathematical advantage currently given to the loser's bracket (in that there's one more round in the loser's bracket than the winner's), there is as of right now a 30-point penalty for being knocked into the loser's bracket.
Thanks, majofa!
-
great... so now for making 1 stupid mistake and losing i now have -30.... wonderful.
-
essence, i think, they should lose some more points...
1. they have two additional rounds if they lose in first match
2. if they lose 2:1 in normal brackets, they get sth about 15 additional points...
3. and you are the only person, who skip the the first round, so you automaticly got 30 points?
IMO normal brackets would be better here
i dont even know, why do you use brackets with final, when only points count... sth is wrong about this event
edit: some examples:
someone won all normal brackets matches and he is in the final, he got ~120 points
someone lost his first game 2:1, and then he won all losers brackets he got 15-30+180=165points

u also have to include whether they get that many though.. u dont always get all the points. depends on how many upped cards ur facing against..

Here's the PM I sent to Essence. I don't believe 30pts is enough of a penalty. That'd still put it at 330pts vs 240pts (before the finals match).. and the person from the losers bracket would still have the most points regardless of what happens in the finals.
hey.. I seem to have found a SERIOUS FLAW with the Core-Four tournament scoring system.
If a player wins every game of every match, and get 60pts per match (no upped cards vs no upped cards).. then they'll end up with 360pts.
5 rounds (x) 60pts = 300pts (+) 60pts for winning the tourney (=) 360pts.
Now add up how many points the person who made it to the finals from the losers bracket has. Not counting any points from the first round loss...and again using the 60pts per round.
6 rounds (x) 60pts = 360pts (+) 45pts for getting 2nd (=) 405pts.
This is the case for anyone who loses in the 1st or 2nd rounds and make it to the finals.
If the person loses in the 3rd round.. they'll have 300pts before playing in the finals (if they don't get any points on losses).
If the person loses in the 4th round.. they'll have 240pts before playing in the finals.
So, at 60pts per match (the most that's guaranteed): [before the finals matches]
The person from the winners bracket will have 240pts.
1st round loser: 360pts. (330pts) <--- () is after the 30pt penalty
2nd round loser: 360pts. (330pts)
3rd round loser: 300pts. (270pts)
4th round loser: 240pts. (210pts)
So as can be seen, the person in the winners bracket is at a CLEAR DISADVANTAGE. If someone who loses in the first or second round makes it to the finals, they will win; regardless of what happens in the final match.
Possible solutions:
(1) Get rid of the point system and make this a straight-double-elimination-tournament. (I know you probably don't want to do this)
(2) Adjust the point totals for winners bracket vs. losers bracket.
I hope this helps.... :)
-
If a player wins every game of every match, and get 60pts per match
Unupped versus unupped winners get 30pts per match. You're thinking of the Phat Deck Event. :P
-
30pts per game
Two game wins to win a match.
30pts + 30pts = 60pts.
60pts per match.
-
30pts per game
Two game wins to win a match.
30pts + 30pts = 60pts.
60pts per match.
:o Oh.
-
I have an easier solution, the maximum games to play is 8, so for each game less then 8 you play, you get a bonus of 60 points as long as you reach at least the semis.
So if you win in 5 games, u get a bonus of 180 points, the ones that gets to the losers brackets somewhere in the way, will all get a lesser bonus or none.
easy enough? and fair for all!!
-
still i dont understand one thing...
i won all brackets but i still can lsoe because of the points :|?
system in this tournament is not clear for me now
-
Xuru, the rules have been clearly posted all along. It's even in bold in the OP: it's points that win the tourney. Brackets are there to give the 1st-4th players bonus points and help them win more.
mrpaper, I like your solution better. Here's the (new) deal.
No more -30 penalty. Instead, players who win in the winner's bracket again 30 bonus points per win until the Finals, where no bonus points are given.
That means that 4 wins in the Winner's Bracket gives you 120 points, the amount you'd get from the 2 extra stages of the loser's bracket.
-
well.. sounds better... not gonna do the math just assume ur right... better than starting out at -30 :\

Terroking vs. AppaAwesome 2-1
GGs Appa
First game, I went with a Cremation-Chrysaora deck to make a nice, versatile deck. I started off with a good hand, first turn Phoenix with 2 more following swiftly after, as well as a Flayer. No Steam Machines showed up, but I never ended up needing them.
5f6 5f6 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5if 5if 5ii 5ii 5ii 5ii 7dp 7dp 7dp 7dp 7dp 7dp 7i6 7i6 7i6 7i6
Second, I decided to go with an Unstable Gas+Dragon deck, which ended up being too slow in the face of 3 Crimsons. However, a third Gas would have probably won it for me.

Last game I decided I could go with Shrieker rush, but that was predictable and easy to counter via Wings, which was still one of Appa's options. In the end, I went with my special Earth Nymphs super-control deck, and when one came out, his field went into lockdown.

In short, I think I've decided something: I'd rather win with 10 upgrades, than not win at all. It's definitely worth it.

great games dude

And Kevkev has 82 points, not 112.
It's correct. He won the first game for 30 points; both played 30 unupped cards. He won the third game for 52 points; he played 30 unupped but mrpaper played with 22 upped cards. Then he got the 30 point bonus for winning the match.
-
ya mrpaper, you gotta stop playing with so many upped cards lol
...unless of course, you're playing against me ;) lol....
anyways looking forward to round 2

There's an error. I've defeated the Dictator.
But this is still an error. Because he did beat me.
Edit: just fought mrpaper, the person I SHOULD fight.

Water, Battle 1 (?? ? = unupped water pendulum)

It started with an early RoF, killing my first 2 chysoara's, and the only one I got beside those, was raged, so I could never apply enough poison.
My squids were pretty useless, because by the time I got one out, he got a fire shield, reducing them to an expensive freeze (3 to play, 3 to use, only one use). The dragons and toadfishes died slowly against the shield, or fast against his bolts, and I never drew one of my shields, which might have given me just the extra turn(s) I needed.
Oh, and the mind flayers, were a leftover from an earlier version, which also had some aether pendulums, but was really messed up on quanta (I either drew the flayers, or the aether pendulums, never both in testing, so I took them out, but I forgot the mind flayers).
0-1
Earth, Battle 2 (?? ? = unupped earth pendulum)

He got an owl's eye out, which prevented me from playing my shriekers, but the titanium shield prevented the (flying) owl's eye from killing me, so I just saved quanta and played 4 shriekers at once, making a two turn kill.
1-1
Fire, Battle 3

However, the bolt could take care of him or his creatures in that case, winning time to get the dragons out of the time bubble. The fahrenheits were a little useless, because he also had a pulvy, and too early to make them usefull, and I never got any deflags (but as he had PA, they would be still useless).
2-1

Time to start Round 2! Loser's Brackets, start going! You need to complete 2 rounds in the next 3 days if at all possible, to get cracking!
I flipped a coin to see which of the no-shows (nilsieboy and jamiejoneslovesu) would go to the loser's bracket, but I still gave the winner the 30-point bonus due to the loser's bracket being longer. I also screwed up and ended jamiejoneslovesu vs. Dragoon early; please ignore that and continue the battle. :)
Xuru, I'm generally on from 5PM PST until about 12AM PST (that's 12:00 GMT to 7AM GMT, if I can do math tonight.) If you'll have problems getting on during that timeframe, PM me. :)

You can see how this went. I put out beasties, he nuked them. I burrowed, he used Wings. I sat and spun, he shot me full of holes.
Match 2: Fire Stall vs. Graboid Rush w/ EQs. Winner: Fire Stall.
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f5 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f7 5f7 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn
This was pretty fun. He sat back and EQ'd as my Fahrenheit wore him down, and eventually spat out a crapload of Graboids and Shriekers. By the time he did, I had Potions and Bolts for them all, and SoGs to heal up with.
Match 3: Water Rush vs. Phoenix Fire. Winner: Water Rush.

A VERY narrow game. I played either a Crawler or a Toadfish every turn starting on Turn 2, and the Toadfish literally saved my butt by Infecting a Phoenix and killing it just in time to prevent it from dealing lethal damage. I ended the game with 6 HP to his zero. :)
GG's, xuru.

I've PM'd jamiejoneslovesu but I haven't heard back from her. I also haven't seen her in chat lately. Are you there jjlu? When's a good time to play?
And also Essence, I think you forgot your own rule: no other cards (in your deck #2).
Building decks
The only deckbuilding restrictions in the Core Four Event are:
1) All Decks must be exactly 30 cards.
2) No non-Pillar cards outside of the Core Four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) are allowed. Yes, that means no Other cards.
3) Marks, Pendulums and Pillars of other elements are allowed.
4) You cannot use the same element more than once in each round! In other words, if you play a :water / :fire deck in the first fight, you MUST play either :earth or :air in the 2nd fight -- and if you lose, you must play the other in the 3rd fight. This means you cannot play two dual-decks in a row, because you will then be forced to play mono-Pillars in your 3rd fight. :D

Dragoon, you are absolutely right. I completely screwed up my own rules. By law, I forfeit and xuru takes the round.
My bad.

OK, I have PMs from both Terroking and majofa saying that they're trying to meet up and play, but the extended time limit is up, so both of them proceed to the loser's bracket with no +30 bonus. That means kevkev proceeds with a 90-point bye.
With jamiejoneslovesu and Dragoon's match, jamiejones admitted to not ever bothering to find out who his opponent was, but I've got a copy of a PM from Dragoon to jamie asking for a match, so Dragoon wins that one.
In the loser's bracket, I have no evidence that GGA and App ever tried to fight, so they're both out. jamiejones gets a 60-point bye because of it.
Round 3 starts now and ends at 12:00 GMT on the 20th. Loser's bracket, we must finish 2 rounds in that same timeframe, so get cracking!

Thanks for the update. I actually only have 160 points (70+90) though.

OK, I have PMs from both Terroking and majofa saying that they're trying to meet up and play, but the extended time limit is up, so both of them proceed to the loser's bracket with no +30 bonus. That means kevkev proceeds with a 90-point bye.
Really... I sent Terroking messages... he never responded and never sent me anything...
I refuse to take a loss in this round..
kevkev, I'll be sending you a PM letting you know when I'm available.
-
Really... I sent Terroking messages... he never responded and never sent me anything...
I refuse to take a loss in this round..
majofa, you fail to understand. I have copies of messages from BOTH you and Terroking. Standing PVP Event rules are that if both players make the attempt and the game doesn't go down, both players lose. It sucks, but it's the only fair way to make sure everyone makes their best attempt to play every round.
You don't really have the option to "refuse" to take a loss.

I believe you can add me to the eliminated list? raving won and i lost in the losers bracket.. so unless somehow i magically advance i wont be paying attention to this thread :P

Then tell me this.. how did he try to contact me? Because I received ZERO messages from him. None. And I know he's been on because his profile says when he last logged in. I mean, maybe I forgot to BC you a copy of my messages to him.. did I?
-
..and also he's admitted to receiving at least one message from me. I don't believe sitting in Chat for however long a day is an okay way of trying to set up a match...
**Funny thing is, he's on right now and wants to play.. Could we play? If we can, then I'll play him. **

By law, I forfeit and xuru takes the round.

You started from second round.

i believe essence had to disqualify himself for breaking his own rules. he used OTHER cards in one of his decks.
-
majofa v. Terroking has been changed after a lengthy investigation. Kevkev, you must play majofa for the semifinals, and your score has reverted to a standing 202 points.
Also, for the record, I am in fact DQ'ed for breaking my own rules. Go me.
thedictator has been given a bye for that reason.

[vs. mono-earth] LOSS

We both were doing damage quick. He EQ me a few times. I only drew one CC. In the end I had 32 hp and he had 3 Shriekers, put another one down and won it. :(

He got an early Squid and Owl's Eye. My Basilisk's Blood and Ice Shield slowed him down just enough. My two attacks with Fog Shield in play hit for the win.

Fire is the most versatile, so facing it last is tough. I chose to go for Flying Owl's Eyes. I ended up drawing a hand full of pillars/pendulums and one Owl's Eye that was quickly Deflagged. Rest of the game I spent drawing the rest of my pillars and a couple Flying Weapons. ><

This is getting silly. There's 2 hours left in a 3-day round, and ONE MATCH got played, and I have exactly 2 PMs trying to set up times to play. What's up, guys?
I'm granting a 48-hour extension -- anyone who has not played their 3rd-round match (or the 2 relevant Loser's Bracket matches) -- or at least BCCed me a PM to their opponent trying to get a match started -- in that time is disqualfied outright.
Capisce?

As Dragoon pointed out, I drew precisely what I needed to here. ??? are unupped fire pendulums. Deck 1:

OK, y'all. A few people have been permanently DQ'd due to lack of any attempt to get their games played.
We need to see Majofa vs. TheDictator --> vs. xuru --> vs. Dragoon to establish who will be in the finals. I'm going to be generous and give all y'all one week to get all that done.
I screwed up and accidentally DQ'd RavingRabbid when I shouldn't have. So please ignore that. We need to see the loser's bracket all the way up starting from nilsieboy vs. RavingRabbid on one leg and majofa vs. The dictator on the other leg. Y'all have one week to get that done, and then we'll have the final matchup in 7-ish days.
Let's do it! :)

Why did I got Dq'ed, if I didn't even knew who I was going to play?

Well, I lost to majofa due to some pretty bad luck.
The first game he came up with a perfect counter, because I couldn't kill his phoenixes, and he deflaged my owl's eye.
And the second game I got 9 of 11 pillars, but only 5 creatures in the first 15 cards, and his ice shield sealed the deal, after it froze 3 of 4 creatures on their first hit.
Well, the decks:

Yhm that is not a good news :/ i wanted to get some additionals points! aff:<
the winner of the final gets 60 points and the loser 30 points, am i right?
-
The player who defeats the entire tournament gains a 60-point bonus to his score. 2nd place gets 45, and 3rd place gets 30.

hmm thats interesting, even he got an advantage at the beggining ge got 362 points and me 366...
is sth wrong about my counting? :O

I am pretty sure i hasn't used to many upped cards, but i have some strange feeling about that. Waiting for the Essence calculations.
Good games kevkev, some of them were very close and hard. Fortnately, everything went smoothly and there were no desynced games. See you next time! ;)

xuro beat me 2-1 and then 2-1.
Game 1 I hoped he'd go with an air deck, and he did not. Easy victory for him:
58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58r 58r 58r 58r 58r 58r 593 593 593 593 595 595 595 595 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa
Game 2 I hoped he'd go with an earth deck, and he did. xuru used the wrong mark but conceded when he saw the matchup:
5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5ol 5ol 5ol 5ol 5ol 5ol 5on 5oo 5oo 5oo 5oo 5oo 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu
Game 3 I believe xuru researched and thus knew every card in the only fire deck I've used for this event. He built a great counter, and beat me with it (??? are unupped fire pends):
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f6 5f6 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5gi 5gi
Since it was double elim, we had to play another best of 3. I thought xuru would see that whoever won this best of 3, almost regardless of upped cards used, would win the event. I thought he might try grabbys, so I went with air. He didn't but I got what I needed from draws to win:
5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5ol 5oo 5oo 5oo 5oo 5oo 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu 7n5 7n5 7n5 7n5 7n5 7n7
I have a good many upped fire cards, so I decided to save them for the third game, reasoning that he's forced to use his best deck now to stay in it. I settled on earth and he again chose a great counter:
58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 590 590 590 591 591 591 591 591 77g 77g 77g 77h 77j 77j 77jWell I'd prepared an almost completely upped mono-fire deck for the Trials. I did some math and thought I could get away with 20 or so upped cards in the deck. So I switched out the brimstone eaters for ash eaters, in the back of my mind wondering why I bothered using upped immo fodder in a Trials deck to begin with...
5f0 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f1 5f2 5f2 5f6 5f6 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dq 7dq 7dq 7dq 7dq 7dq 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2Half way through the game I realized there were no immos in this deck. That's a pretty important detail to get right. Lol.
Congrats to xuru, who was only in the loser's bracket to begin with because he had to forfeit due to a scheduling conflict. He's a tremendous competitor and absolutely deserves this victory.

Congratulations to our Top 3 Core Four Competitors:
xuru 526
kevkev 497
Dragoon 280
Majofa was close behind Dragoon with 270 points, but the 30-point bonus for 3rd place in the brackets also nudged Dragoon into 3rd place in the scoring.
Well done, everyone!
-
ah man no points for fourth?
-
Sorry, majofa. I went back and carefully read the 1st post all over again, and it looks like either the 15 points for 4th place skipped my brain or I just didn't write it down, but I gotta stick with what's written there. :)

Event complete!
