War #8 - Round 4

[serprex]

WAR #8 R4 Those behind have come ahead, & those who felt safe have suffered. It's a time to be ready for anything, and react with precision.	Read the War Rules Contact Warmasters News Even if I knew the news, I wouldn't tell you
Deckbuilding Duel phase has started Teams have to build decks for all players who are fighting during this round. 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 decks is strictly forbidden. Failure to have all of 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 Fighting ends! Duel phase starts when deckbuilding ends. PM your opponent and try to find a suitable time. Time Zone Converter might be useful here. If you cannot find a time when you both are online, please contact Warmasters--deuce22, CuCN, and serprex--immediately. If the match does not happen, you both lose by default unless one of you is clearly more active and 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 to record your duels as shown in the Rules: (Air Gen) KingKiller 3 - 1 (Water Lt) LordOwner (Air Sld) KingKiller 3 - 1 LordOwner (Water Gen) (Air Lt) KingKiller 3 - 1 (Water Sld) (Sub) LordOwner (SUB indicates that someone else played instead of LordOwner)
Event Card This does not apply to Generals and Lieutenants. The cards are removed from the deck. Each upgraded card can be chosen separately (it is not all-or-nothing). This cannot be done if it results in a deck with fewer than 30 cards. Each game, the removed cards reset. Salvage and discards are from the full decks. (Image by BenFrantzDale, under CC-BY-SA.)

[ARTHANASIOS]

Go, go, go, 36-card Soldier rushes!

EDIT: Are soldiers allowed to use relics this round? If yes, can they remove ANY number of ups or just up to 6?

[andretimpa]

mrpaper facing us again. At least the player changed on our side.

Dont see why you would think soldiers cant use relics.
Relevant chat quote from WM: "you can use relics to gain a larger sideboard"
So yes.

[Submachine]

Air facing 2 generals again. At least 1 degree better than it was in last round.

[Chapuz]

This EC reminds me the Strategists of the other war 

[Blacksmith]

Hm our first general this war, interesting.

[serprex]

Sideboards seemed to be the best thing about roles, so there was quite a lot of brainstorming about sideboards. This shouldn't be the last you see of sideboards this war (tho not necessarily with this implementation)

mrpaper facing us again. At least the player changed on our side.

death 3 times in a row for me???  I knowwe can't have a perfect altern of elements because math doesn't add up to it... but we have faced death 4 rounds in a row.. and me the last 3 times! .. And I don't wanna talk on the results

So yes.

Thanks for your reply, Fippe. (though I would'd preffered a reply from the WMs)
One more important question; what if a deck becomes illegal (<50% of in-element cards) by removing ups? If I am a Soldier of Team and I use a 36-card duo with 18 cards, 18 cards and 6 upped cards, can I remove the upgrades?

[serprex]

@ARTH yes

[Kakerlake]

yay, let's build a mono off element rush deck =)
what? it costs 24 relics? pah! totally worth it
