War #13 - Voices of the Fallen

[dawn to dusk]

Predictions of Light:
8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 3, 6 and whatever Shock's was

I mean pretty glad to have ruined everyone's predictions

Editing to include soppy stuff
Big thanks to the team for helping out in ways they could, all opinions and assistance was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately couldn't run SoW Reflect as we had hoped to for a long time, but still got out some pretty fun decks nonetheless.
Huge thanks to the WM for hosting the last War of Flash, was really enjoyable, and I hope to see the trend continue in OEtG if that's the future of EtG.

NT is a nuts deck

This was a fun war! I must say, I really liked the upgrade modifier theme. Made for some interesting deckbuilding.

Otherwise, I don't really have a lot to add. 3rd place is alright, I guess, our initial vault should've included more copies of key cards, and deuce is awesome. Like, seriously - he is. Was a pleasure to vaultbuild, deckbuild and discuss matchups with him.

Props to team Earth and Fire, you guys kept giving us headaches. And congratulations to Darkness on a war well played, although I guess the title isn't clinched just yet. ggs all!

Well, that was a wild ride. Congrats to Darkness, you played an immense War and fully deserved the win. I'm glad we kept things close right until the bitter end. In the end we had our two strongest decks play your two weakest decks and our two weakest up against your two strongest, which is always going to favour the team that needs a 2-2. Such is the nature of 4v4s - wouldn't have it any other way.

Earth folk: Had a blast playing with you - the most important thing for me in War is that team chat is a fun place to hang out, and we definitely achieved that.

Warmasters: Thanks for all the effort you've put in. The market system was excellent and I've noticed a whole bunch of smaller changes over the course of War that made things a lot smoother than in previous Wars. Great job.

Team Time: I think you were dealt a bad hand with market prices this War - certainly much worse than what we had - and were contenders for the top spot until the final couple of rounds. Was really impressed by you this whole War.

Wyand: I meant to reply to your post a while back but never quite had the time. War is an event where people say that 10 Elements should be top 3 everytime - obviously a few miss out on that. At the end of the day, only you know what went wrong and what went right for you. I ended up bombing pretty hard as a first time Gen because I didn't trust my predictions enough - the next War I had a little more confidence and ended up doing very well with an almost identical vault and strategy. Also, I personally tend to do quite well in late game War and struggle in the first few rounds where there's far less information to work with (as evidenced by this War) - you never really had the chance to reach this later stage. For what it's worth, you played very well against us and were our most feared opponent in the first few rounds by a long way.

If people are interested I could post some thoughts on Earth, the market prices in general and the radically different way we and Darkness approached salvage, but I don't have the time to go into much detail right now.

Overpayed on me.

My app was accurate, I just about had time for matches and for the odd comment or idea.

Afda is awesome.

My ability to contribute was massively cut by lack of oetg/vanilla. Seriously, with it I think we could have won. Afda and I both have a pretty strong ability to work out in our heads what deck is favoured, but my greatest strength is in having a weird, janky but bespoke deck idea to face a problem - but to do that you need a lot of testing to see if it actually works. I had zero time for pvp testing. War would have been very different with vanilla. Serp... please please fix <3.

Loved ups market. Loved transmute rules. Best run war I have played in. Just sad no time or vanilla.

Our weakness early on was in trying to bespoke decks for certain predictions at the cost of other more niche matchups. We made our decks worse in order to improve chances in bad matchups. That light stall vs entropy was horrific lol.

My biggest contribution was in 5 SEPARATE ROUNDS convincing IF that cloak is a terrible card and never the answer. 

Was a fun war despite no vanilla, and I'm glad I gof to war with afda before the end. Just sorry (for the 10th time sayinv it) that you got afk, out of practice, no original ideas JCJ, not JCJ prime

Thanks all
