Round 1 - Decks

[Uncle Jellyfish]

This is one that I've been working on. It's fast, and has only lost to a single AI3 (the Light/Gravity one with the Gravity Shields... -.-" )

This one here focuses a lot on permanent and creature destruction, using Water for the kill. Slow, but effective. Would likely work better against a player-made deck instead of AI3.

I've had a lot of success with this one, though once again, Gravity Shield is the bane of this deck, and to a lesser degree, massive healing/creature effecting shields.

I have made the following decks, and I am still tweaking them:

If someone knows a nice trident-spam deck, I have 6 of them, so maybe I'll use it.

[Essence]

Dictator, the decks have to be at least half water, so that first deck you posted (the Poison deck) is a no-go.


More importantly, the time for tweaking is rapidly coming to a close.  We need to finalize, and we need to do it ASAP.  So: commit.  Pick the two decks you think are the winningest, and let's get our Vault built.

[Essence]

It's a placeholder until we get our Vault built and our first-round decks decided on.

[the dictator]

I know.

The tweaking is almost done.

But are two decks each not a little less, because everyone can use 50 cards (because the other 60 are pillars) and he doesn't have to add water pillars.

When I have got to chose tree, I would use the water+life, the water+air and this one:

OK, just looking at these decks, here's my current Vault.  It's up for debate for 48 hours, then it's getting finalized.

= 178 non-Water cards


Any objections, thoughts, or ideas?

[the dictator]

Well, I am missing 2 things to build my proposed decks: a 5th shockwave, and 6 novae.

I really like the nova deck, because it is really flexible, and nice to play.

And I think you are a bit high on aether, I don't think we will use that many phase dragons, same  for the devonian.

[Levgre]

How long do we have for testing left?  I 'll try to make some decks today, although I generally trust the deckbuilders here to do well :p so otherwise I am fine just playing whatever is made.

[the dictator]

And I think 60 water pillars is a little small, because you will run in approximately 8 loses out of pillars.

*does some math*
Lets say: 13 pillars, 17 normal cards in each deck, would make 360/30*13=156 pillars in the deck.
At least half of that should be water pillars, because each deck has to have at least 50% water cards, so 50% of pillars should also be water. (yes you can make decks with only mark of water, but you can also use mono water decks, with no other pillars).

[the dictator]

So, for now I would like to change:

More water pillarsMore shockwavesLess dragons of other elementsSome short swordsMore water, less other elementsSome Novae

Considering that, I have made the following vault:

195 Water cards
