Round 1 - Decks

[RavingRabbid]

As now, we need to build a deck for

:Light battle
:Fire battles
:Earth battles
battle



We have some stupid decks for:


:Aether Battles
:Time battles

[Vinvick3714]

We have one for earth, it's

Code: [Select]

5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i7 5i7 5i7 5i8 5i8 5i8 5i8 5i8 5i9 5i9 5ie 5ie 5ie 5ie 5ie 5ie 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5on 5on 5oo 5oo 5oo 5oo Actually I was thinking of -1 icebolt, +1 squid. What do you think? But we can't use this for both me and miniwally, because we only have 4 wings.

[the dictator]

Essence vs. gocubbies1212 : So far, I think the rush can do really well.
miniwally vs. coinich :
nilsieboy vs. Belthazar666 : Time isn't fast, so a rush should do wonders.
RavingRabbid vs. Stinnger : A fractal deck might work, but I am afraid mind flayers will be useless against fire, unless the deck has killing potential too.
unit748596 vs. Daxx : Based on the Strategy thread, some steam machine deck with flooding, ice shield and deflags should do well.
The dictator vs. brettbstock : I think my freezing rush can stand a real chance.
wavedash vs. Ryan666 : RR water/life deck should do well, because poison en growth counter miracle and hope.
Bluesky vs. mrpaper : I think this can be done with a poison rush with bolts.
vinvick3714 vs. Demagog : A deck based on wings + control can work very well.

That leaves only one decks to be made

A possible deck could be a stall, with earthquakes and EA for protection.

The Stone Skin + Miracle sucks if on light.

against light maybe trident deck for if they go stalling?
against life i wouldn't take that deck,steam machines are slow and life is fast (and i don't think they'll play that much creatures)
you need control against life (against adrealine)
and we can take poison bolt (don't know vs wich team yet)? (was thinking what fire could take and our options)

[RavingRabbid]

Essence vs. gocubbies1212 : The rush just needs some final touches.
miniwally vs. coinich: Speed Poison? To counter earthquakes.
nilsieboy vs. Belthazar666 : A rush. Yeah.
RavingRabbid vs. Stinnger : I DON'T KNOW!
unit748596 vs. Daxx : Butterfly Floods?
The dictator vs. brettbstock : I DON'T KNOW!
wavedash vs. Ryan666 : Earthquaking deck?
Bluesky vs. mrpaper : Speed Poison with Bolts, yeah.
vinvick3714 vs. Demagog : Here, the best thing is Wings+Shockwave+Toadfish+Freeze

[RavingRabbid]

Maybe, we could bring a Speed Poison against team Fire and bring another Bolt Rush against team Aether.

[nilsieboy]

Essence vs. gocubbies1212 : toadfishes + abyss crawlers should do the work here
miniwally vs. coinich: speedpoison or adreanacrawlers
nilsieboy vs. Belthazar666 : i think rush is the best option here because time is slow
RavingRabbid vs. Stinnger : don't know for sure here (poison bolt or rush?)
unit748596 vs. Daxx : toadfishes + bolts
The dictator vs. brettbstock : same as for stinnger
wavedash vs. Ryan666 : trident denial deck
Bluesky vs. mrpaper : speed poison/poison stall
vinvick3714 vs. Demagog : winged toadfishes

[Essence]

I had a dream last night, and it inspired me.  I want to take / vs. gocubbies1212.

Something like this:

Code: [Select]

5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5i4 5i4 5ih 5ih 5ii 5ii 5ii 5ii 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds
Deflags will kill Phase Shields, Lobos, etc -- or, if it's a Fractal/Pest deck, take out early pillars to give me time to draw up Flooding.  With only Pendulums powering the attack, Mind Gates won't be able to use my own stuff against me.  Fractal Chargers could honestly be a problem, but I don't see that being a very likely deck for them to bring.  Both Steam Machines and Phoenixes make Lightning not a viable method of CC as long as I can take out lobos. 

I could be in trouble if they go / and take Mind Flayers, but that's a risk I'm willing to take. 

Best part is, even if I lose, we discard Flooding and Steam Machine and don't particularly care.

Thoughts?

[wavedash]

Anyone mind if I take the Earthy cards?

I'm thinking:

Code: [Select]

593 593 593 593 593 593 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i8 5i8 5i9 5i9 5ic 5ic 5ic 5id 5id 5ie 5ie 5ie 5ie 5jm 5jm 5jm
Doesn't do too well against creature control, and bad draws are pretty common.

[Essence]

I think if we have them spare that I should add 2 Ice Shields and 1 more Pendulum to my / deck, above.


You'll find it's a little overkill to have 6x EQ AND 3 Tridents.  I'd drop 2 EQ and add 2 Freeze or Ice Bolt.

[Essence]

Also, in chat, I suggested a Mind Gate Stall for you vs. light, Wavedash.  The basic deck is Mindgates, Ice Bolts, Ice Shields, and possibly an Ice Dragon or 2.

The logic is simple: if they go for a anything except a rush, you'll have plenty of time to build up quanta and draw Ice Bolts to kill them.   If they bring Mirror Shields, you can Mindgate them and use them to reflect a Bolt back at them.  If they go for a rush, you can stop them cold with Ice Shield and Ice Bolt, only to use their own rush against them, only bigger, later in the game.  Basically, the deck is really strong in the long game, and good at creating a long game. 

IDK if you like the idea, but I think it's a decent one.
