War #3 - Round 4

[Kael Hate]

	WAR #3 - ROUND 4 Read the War Rules (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,13006.0.html) Contact Warmasters (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=293,3167) News: There will be 47 duels this round covering 4 days of deckbuilding and 3 days of dueling. Discard for losing this round is 24. There has been a speight of dropouts from this war, both with and without reason. This cannot be predicted but it is a disruption to the event and costs teams their position. We will be looking into methods for future wars to maintain a flexability and try to fix the balance between a need to step away and those that bail because they weren't commited to the event in the firstplace. For now and the rest of the war the limit of a single replacement is lifted and any team can replace a dropped player as they need for a cost of 6 cards. Your team may not need to use this option though and it may be plausibly better that you play with dedicated members and forgo salvage by subbing in a dedicated player rather than take on someone who does not understand the team.
Event Card: Stroke of Luck: At the Startof this round, If a vault is evenly divisible by 7: Every player on that team may use 2 extra upgraded cards. Teams that got Lucky   AIR (371)   GRAVITY (245)	Deckbuilding: Duel phase has started Teams have to build decks for all players who are fighting during this round. Decks are to be posted on the secret team section. Team Deckbuilder starts the topic, and all team members participate in the planning. Please do not post your decks in public or talk about them in chat. All decks must be made ready before the timer goes to zero, after which editing deck post is strictly forbidden. Failure to have all the decks ready will lead to a severe card penalty, and/or automatic losses. It is highly recommended that all team members double-check their decks before the duels start. Duels: Round has ended Duel phase starts when deckbuilding ends. PM your opponent and try to find a time that suits you both. Time Zone Converter (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) might be useful here. If you cannot find a time when you are both are online, please contact Warmasters (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=293,3167) Kael Hate or ddevans96 immediately. If the match doesn't happen, you both lose by default, unless one of you is clearly more active and/or more flexible. Duels are "best-of-three", you must use the deck and mark built during the previous phase, and you cannot make any changes to your deck or mark during the round. Please make sure you record your duels correctly. Notes: An Audit of Water's Vault has Discovered a discrepancy in the Round 3 Vault and received Penalty 6 cards.

[The_Mormegil]

Wizelsnarf vs RavingRabbid. LOL.

[kirchj33]

I fight TNG for a 2nd straight round   General matchup, except he gets two extra upped cards this time.  /Yay!

Pretty dumb event card imo. Luck is already a big enough factor in Elements.

Pretty dumb event card imo. Luck is already a big enough factor in Elements.

So event cards should remove luck from the game?  *all matchups will be decided by a moderator instead of being played out*

He didn't say that it should remove luck, and that example is... pointless hyperbole.
I'm not a fan of the event either. It's not a big deal, but the rng already has plenty of say, and it would be nice for the event cards to offer interesting strategic choices, not just give out random prizes. This discussion probably belongs in the war feedback thread though, so I think we should move there if we want to comment further.

Woah 371 is divisible by 7!!! Sweet what a stroke of luck for us.

[Jappert]

Using some upgraded cards make war MUCH more interesting. I'd wish there were more oppurtunities (also for regular war members) to use them. It just opens up a whole new spectrum of tactics like arsenic hitting through shields, pend/pillar splits, adrenamercs and flying weapon decks  just to name a few.

I spoke a bit with QT about implementing more upgraded cards in future wars, I really like his thoughts about this subject.

To get back on topic: Grats with this Stroke of Luck team Gravity and Air, but this is going to be our round, trust me

The event card entertains me. I rather like it.

Interesting standings, too. Even though Aether has a decent lead, they can still be knocked down a peg or two depending on how this round goes.
