War #12 - Voices of the Fallen

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Water without me: 8-8
Water with me: 1-7

I'm inhumanly bad at War.

I want to apologize to my team again for not having the mental stability to be able stick with them. They deserved much better than me.

but still you are a master who leads your team, which is very significant for me team to me is the abomination

I agree tbh, but i wanted to play war and didnt have timd to general, i wasnt able to help at all this week for example. With a small community wed have been even lower on numbers if ian and i just hadnt played :/

Death is dead. But we've got one more bucket list thing to carry out before we go.

What missed:

• Better predictions
• Better RNG at some key moments

gl to those still around

Bucket list item completed.

I need to find a way to totally buck my natural and career-developed personality to be less predictable and embrace "change". There, I posted it so now I _have_ to do it if I get the chance, right?

Welp, thought I could compete with afda. Started off solid, but one tough round spiraled into 2 more, and suddenly we're out despite having a better win rate than most teams. But that's war, winning early means nothing. Ultimately, my inexperience with the element definitely had an impact. My analysis and predictions were pretty solid overall with some misses, but a lot of losses were due to me getting too cute with builds by trying to cover too many matchups. Should have just stuck with the solid tried and true decks that afda was successful with, even if they were semi-expected and maybe barely over 50% winrate. I think we used dark dom twice in 7 rounds? That alone is a recipe for failure.

I had a lot of fun working with manny, moe, and Oa. Def one of my more chill teams. Everyone tested and prepped for their matchups each round. Would def enjoy working with each again. But maybe at a cheaper auction price 

For those who maybe have some bad feelings towards Manny, he's not that bad. Honestly, kind of reminds me a bit of a young me or hainkarga...more hainkarga.

My entire perspective shifted with that ... thanks deuce!

P.S. I don't mean that lightly ... that is paradigm shifting for me.

and  are the TOP  in the last war pratically with the same rules...  is a disappointment, Big disappointment but  is the ASTRONOMICAL disappointment, impressive really!!! I'm not a fan of Hainkarga skills but probably alone him should be very better that this with , well and for Manu if serves of consolation Afda did bad war when was general in the first time, but in the War VIII without Sofree...

DANIEELA and Zyardran, thank you!

[Vineroz]

I would like to thank ddevans96 for trusting me, and invested 4 SoPa's worth of points for me while I did state my motivation for war is "low" in my war app. I could've commit more.

I would also like to thank RavingRabbid who did almost everything. I don't think I have played anything other than -based decks in the past few years (if I even played at all), and it was really fun playing the decks you made.

lol

blind auction
market prices more expensive than last year for my element
loldiscount who is more worthy to be used on perms rather than on creatures even for my element who is supposed to be heavy creatures centered
3 rounds with an ec impossible to predict
mad relics giveaway still impossible to predict

totally same rules

i'm not even angry, the wm who granted this format was good left the community 2 days after the war started, this says a lot more than any of my post

FWIW, this is exactly my experience with working with him in war too. You just can't take it too seriously when he rages or trolls

To be fair I didn't like Haink either in the beginning. Now when I have gotten to know him he certainly proved to have more depth and character than most people. Turns out that if you have the spikes out before people get to know you, they will think you're like that all the time.
