Round 3 - Strategy

[wavedash]

Looks good. Plagues could be a small problem, try to bait them by holding onto a few every time your Fractal. Also, it looks a bit Aether-heavy.

that can be fixed,if you go for crawlers you can go for aether mark so pendulums will help aether then (crawlers survive 3 turns so don't use all fractals in a row,use the first ones as bait like wave said to)

Massive Plagues + Bonewall


That's what crawlers die to.

[Vinvick3714]

wouldn't chrys. die too from plagues?? Bonewall+Plague could be a good combo against us...

[the dictator]

Yes, of course, the chrysoaras will die too, but they don't mind a few bonewalls (or a lot), because they attack with they poison ability

[Vinvick3714]

Do we really want to risk a match on the chance that they don't have a card that we haven't seen yet? It's very possible that they will use purify, even though they haven't yet.

[wavedash]

I dunno, they didn't take any against me last round. I suppose it'd be possible, but I think we can take the risk if the deck is good enough in other situations.

[Vinvick3714]

Alright, then let's go for it !

[wavedash]

It seems we're mostly liking the Fractal Chrysaora deck, so I think we can finalize that one, pending some adjustments so it works with our Vault.

Which element next?

[Vinvick3714]

Aether:For aether, we're thinking about stalls. dimensional shields and some mindgates with maybe fractal and some crawlers as fast damage. some icebolts too, just to finish it off. This would work cause aether doesn't have any fast damage, and it's obvious they're going to take dim. shields, so we can stall longer if they do have perm control. We used rush last time, so they might not expect a stall. However, they have phase spiders as fast damage, and they might not take dim. shields. It still might work though.

[wavedash]

Aether is an odd dilemma. I doubt they'd go for a direct deck out strategy, it's not reliable enough, they'd need Fire / Ice Bolt or Immortals. If we're going Aether / Water, you can't use Miracles or Mirror Shield.

This round, I say we figure out which matchups we are MOST likely to win, and give THEM priority.  I don't want to create suicide decks for our toughest matchups, but I want to win as many matches as we can.  We went 2-7 in Round 1, then 3-6 on Round Two -- I want to go BETTER than 4-5 in Round 3.

What do you guys think about this?

[the dictator]

my first thought re: me vs. KH -- I want to do a Supernova rush.  Still trying to figure out how, but it'll put him on the defensive, get the Devourers out of my hair, and make it easy to use Antimatter to take advantage of Vamps/LS.

Maybe like this:

...??

Maybe swap 1 Supernova for another Imp. Anti, +1 Nova, +1 Water Something?

I do like the deck, but we don't have a lycanthrope or a graboid in our vault.
We can add a trident and take out the graboid to make use of our earth quanta, but, if essence, isn't going to play this deck, it has do be unupped, which makes it really worse (no SN = less quanta = really slow).

I made this deck (this deck uses all quanta, except darkness (no cards or synergies), time (no cards or synergies) and light (miracle and glory are too expensive, no need for a reflective shield).
