War #4 - Round 4

[kev]

WAR 4 ROUND 4 News Team Underworld joins the fray! Deckbuilding Phase      Battle phase has started! Teams have to build decks for all players who are fighting during this round. Decks are to be added to the Vault Google doc. Team Strategist works with the doc but 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. Battle Phase      Round has ended Battle phase starts when Deckbuilding phase 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=2694,3167) kevkev60614 and/or ddevans96 immediately. If the match doesn't happen you both lose by default unless one of you is clearly more active and/or flexible. Duels are "best-of-five", 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 as follows: (Aether) Lt. playername 3 - (Air) (Sub) Gen. playername 0 Event Card Surveying the field of battle is ill advised for those with a weak stomach.  Carnage everywhere, a reminder of the elemental zealots flinging themselves into battle with naught but victory in their heads.  The toll on our forces was immense and nearly catastrophic.  But with every new day comes opportunity, and today brought us the reinforcements we so desperately needed. But something is amiss.  Forces have been massing.  Those who'd been called too weak to fight, the spurned, and those who had pledged never to take up arms after last War's wreckage, have been driven to a place where no other action was possible.  Team Underworld joins the fray... Teams may take any Pillars without any restrictions. All non-Pillar cards are restricted to a maximum of 3 copies per card.

[PlayerOa]

Awesome that we (all teams except UW) get this advantage over the new team.
Welcome to war, btw!

[TStar]

60 card bonus for everyone huh?  Oh fun......

Team Inactive is not amused.

[Onizuka]

Yay same player again.
Outcome won't change though

[Captain Scibra]

Any restrictions within the types of cards gained?

[MatrimKK]

56 card bonus for everyone huh?  Oh fun......

Team Inactive is not amused.

24+18+9+9=60?

[Terroking]

That's a pretty incredible event card.

It alone can provide 2-3 new decks for teams, perhaps even 4 if they also have leftovers.

I expect to see some innovation.

[deuce22]

wonders if fire was the element purposefully chosen for the event card art...

[PlayerOa]

Question: Can we add pends instead of pillars?

[willng3]

Question: Can we add pends instead of pillars?

[2011-10-29 17:23:55] The dictator: kev, do we have to pick pillars (as in no pendulums?)
[2011-10-29 17:26:51] kevkev60614: ‹@The dictator› that's what it says. pillars.

[Rastafla]

Shouldn't the reinforcements be confined to your own element?

[Scaredgirl]

wonders if fire was the element purposefully chosen for the event card art...

Here's the original image:



The flag already had red on it, Dragons are easy to cut out from the card art, and team is in the last place. These 3 facts combined made a logical choice for me. I was originally going to add more fire stuff in there, but ran out of time.

Shouldn't the reinforcements be confined to your own element?

That's one way of looking at it.. but when teams build their starting Vault, they take cards from other elements. And from the same place they take those cards, they can take reinforcements as well. Also, it adds to fun of strategy and Vault building when choices are not restricted too much.

The main reason why this card happened now, was of course the fact that now team UW doesn't have the huge advantage of knowing everyone else's Vaults. Well, at least not all the Vault.
