Round 3 - Main Topic

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Only three adrenaline, given how they combo with pufferfish as well, in adrenastaves. Really? What's the point of having a fourth AW if you don't have a fourth adrenaline?
Otherwise I don't know the plausability of the deck, but it should work.
Inb4 we encounter a shield we weren't expecting because that's death's thing with us

Nymph's tears = life nymphs = endless adrenaline

Oh yeah. I...
*Cough.*
Yeah, that satisifies all the issues I have with the deck.

Sorry I wasn't on for discussion, it all happened so early in the morning, and I had to work. Looking back, it looks amazing. For the decks posted to face Time, I prefer the fire domin Seriously, great job on the decks. They look solid. I can't think of any changes, or recommendations other than what has already been stated.

Yep, we'll give you Lieu and do that.

Think I'm gonna take the fire duo against Time. It's the more proven deck type, and it doesn't feel like there's anyone clearly preferring the dials.

Barring any waves of discussion, our decks should be final. We might be a little tight on some cards after discarding and so we'll have to make some tweaks - I'll announce those changes if I do make them. As always I'll be on a few hours before the deadline to finalize everything.

Killed serkret in 9 turns with my deck.... discord has no chance!

Take that fireduo, dd, its always good!

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Bonus with the fire deck is Spike may hold back rewinds a little for fear of steam machines in the first one or two games which could give a small rush edge. Go for it.

[ddevans96]

Alright, decks are in the vault, as are discards from the grabbow and desi/tstorm duo. We're going to have an issue discarding from the others though - we're already a bit shorter than I'd like on Tears (12+6 queens left) and Squids (16), as well as only having 7 SoP left.

We can safely discard the following without before the issues happen:
SoP Vamps: 1 steal, 1 dagger, 1 squid (need 4 more)
Shipwrecker: 2 pulvy, 1 gemfinder, 1 squid (need 5 more)
Sanc domin: 1 queen, 1 sanc, 2 congeal, 1 squid (need 4 more)

After that we need to make some hard choices. I think my first preference is dropping gemfinders and running a different kind of SoP Wardens in later rounds. If we do that we can probably comfortably drop SoP from vamps and go down to 4, which would allow one deck per round. A bit of tweaking and we're basically left with the sanc domin, which basically boils down to, do we want to be dangerously low on tears the rest of the war, or lose sancs? I'm personally leaning towards the latter.

[Espithel]

I'd rather lose sancs and gemfinders. Simply because NT goes in everything and we can still make lionwashing without the gemfinders.

PS: I happened to be awake by 0230 (UTC+7). Do not take me to be reliably active at these hours.

SanctDomin: Somehow, if only we aren't low on NT and Sanctuary-reliant decks can make do on 3 Sanctuaries (which I doubt), I'm thinking of -1 NT -3 Sanct. Otherwise, might as well -4 Sanct.

I've got nothing on the other two decks.

[ddevans96]

In theory we can make use of three sancs, keeping one from grabbow and two from the domin. I wouldn't say that's something I'd like to do but it is an option, since with dials/miracles/reflectives we do have other uses for light.

[ddevans96]

Discards put into vault. We're left with 11 squids, 11+5 tears/queens, 4 SoP, and 3 sanc for either small splashes, or potentially salvaging more down the line. Also stated intent to use the event card against Entropy.

Unless there's any objections this round should be considered final.
