Tinkerer speed poison for Time, tweaked by me and jcj. Would like to have NT or SoP in there for stallbreak/damage but I don't see how to manage that effectively so we'll just have to hope theydon't include purify.

[Espithel]

And I completely forgot because I'm stupid. Kek

Right. Let's do this.

Spoiler for Air stall:

Thinking about this if we use the air stall against Earth. Thunderstorm doesn't seem terribly useful in that matchup, so I added purifies instead.

Think we're gonna go with the merc grabbow instead of the air stall against Earth.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Since we aren't using Mercenary anywhere else, the 40% grabbow is SO strong, I think it's almost a waste not to use it in a matchup, unless there is a better reason to use Mercenary somewhere. Especially as if it DOES lose, it won't be the end of the world because of low discards in round 1.
Then again, I get the wings appeal.

[ddevans96]

Yeah, after playing with the air stall earlier, I'm definitely leaning towards the merc grabbow against Earth. The only thing holding me back is the potential of giving Earth more Graboids should it lose, but that's comparatively minor alongside the sheer power of it.

[Spielkind]

Guess thinking about what we will give a team is not needed with tinkerer... and loosing grabbow is bad against every team, so just lets win.

Threw this together for SoP Wardens for myself. It's painfully apparent, using this, that I can't get by with only 4 SoP to my name...need to grind or donate clearly.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Solid SoP Wardens, nice to have a pillar split using upgrades. You might find that that single upped SoP comes in handy at some point, you never know...

SoP Vamps with Sideboard. This is the base build, +1 steal +2 squid. Have to use this for game 1, after that take out cloaks if you're not facing heavy CC/PC, take out one steal if you're not facing heavy perm usage, take out 2 squids if you're not facing swarm. Other than that, use best judgement, or talk to me or someone else on the team who's present.

Alternatively we could put +2 upgrades here instead of sideboard. Opinions?

Lieutenant Nymphcord. Remember that upped water nymphs have 7 HP and so they stand up to upped rage and <19q fire bolts - use that to your advantage.

jcj's going to build a merc grabbow while I sleep. I'll be on a couple hours before the deadline to finalize everything, in the meantime, if you want to suggest tweaks, now is the best time to do it.

[ddevans96]

The four decks made so far have been put into the vault to ensure zero conflicts. jcj is making the merc grabbow for Earth, and should post it here when he's done.

I'm going to take a short night of sleep and check in 4-5 hours from now. After that, I should be online the entire two hours before the deadline to finalize everything. If you'd like to suggest any tweaks or anything, please do so.

[RulacMage11]

Decks look solid. 5-0 Round 1 inc.

Draft one of Merc Grabbow vs Earth

Momentum shouldn't be particularly required I'd imagine. -1 (unless we think Diamond Shield will be a big problem for us?)
What would they really bring that requires Mind flayer? Wardens possibly? -1. Added a Freeze instead.
Due to free Aether quanta, if they are running RT, we could keep our Grabboids burrowed till we have ~2-4 of them, then play silence to unburrow all of them, meaning we could burrow them again the next turn. + 1 silence
