Well I'll be the first to admit, I underestimated :air.  I also think :time got messed up with the first four of their matches being against quantum-denial decks, but I still don't think we will get last.

I'll still stand by my bet that :aether will take first over :earth though.

Ach, you be gamblin' on shaky ground with that last sentence, mate.

I don't see it happening. :aether so many good cards 1st round that it'd be hard to come back from. Besides, we didn't lose any. In fact, we gained 36.

Obviously, anyone with Earth at #1 will be getting a point. Second is still up for grabs, and a great many teams are grabbing for it.

Well, next round, you guys are matched up against :gravity, :entropy, and the rush and healing of :life.  If you manage to win against all of this, you deserve to get hit by the nerf bat.

The players, not the cards.  Your so good!   :-\

Yeah, Life kind of has nothing to counter a deck containing both Titanium and Gravity Shield, as well as an Oty to stop them from being used together. That same deck should work fine.

Entropy... Well, we do have decks that can counter it, and I'm pretty sure they'd have used anything that could stop an Immo rush last round if they could.

Jumba... Is going to be troublesome. I can see a few scenarios with catch-all decks, for both sides. At least, nearly catch-alls.

Of course, I could just be mindgaming you. Right now. As you're reading this. Yep.

Never underestimate :air and :light. These are amongst the most powerful elements. I guess the fact they are underestimated could be one of their strengths.

As for :time, it's all under control. It is our extremely complex strategy. We're doing this to make sure that the elements I want to have second and third place actually have them before we win.

Or maybe not :P
May the force of the D4HK side be with U ^_^

For 1, I reversed my bets (I did worst to best instead of best to worst, :p) And I just randomized everything BUT aether being #1. Lol
