Round 9

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Did the testing, worked against some things, not against others.

At this point my preliminary thinking looks like this, ( quite close to RR's)

 : dev/trident (4 squid)
 : AM flooding (can't get any worse lol) (0 squids, ice bolts and congeals instead)
 : Shockwave Squids (can't use permafrost if running AM flooding though) (4 squid)
 : Speed Poison (5 squid)
 : Toadmare

wtfbow against air, too slow? even if I'm pretty sure they'll go with the dark domin

[Spielkind]

guess that deck vs  jcj put our damsels in so wtfbow not works... can we take somethin other and took airmark for darkness?
i love toadmare :-)

got my 5th queen today, we will win!!! 


@rabbid and jcj, could you either copy my second post and fill it in the first or delete rabbids first? thx :-)

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Sooo I did some testing.

unfortunately, Squid/wave isn't a good counter to It's a trap. All they have to do is use their GP and BB on squids and they can outrush with creatures.
Toads, congeals/shockwave is slightly better, but they still have the edge.
SoP decks, as we found with balltal, tend to lose because Voodoo.

We have one deck.. which has a 80% winrate...

Oh yes, time to bring back the void. We may have to salvage some transmuted ice bolts if we want to run AM flooding with ice bolts against air, but i love this idea. The freezes are actually great, i think i might actually like them more than permafrost tbh cause perma takes so long to get out it's often not worth it.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

OK, vault is all legal. Notes:

Salvage Discard: Only notable thing is I have discarded Cata Titans. Nobody we would want to use it against is still alive.
Air: Set gambler at 0-3. It will either stand a chance, or it won't. If we lose then the extra relics could be useful in staying alive. that one extra round in later rounds.
Earth: Wtf bow suffers more from CC such as BB than damseltal, plus we can add wings with damseltal. HOWEVER, if we have time I would like to do testing with Speed Poison, as we could run it here, and Manuel suggested it. I do think shipwrecker is quite likely though and damseltal will do much better against that.
Darkness: lolol yolo

[Spielkind]

i think AM goot a chance vs air but sofree is a mess...
will try to test some poison vs earth later.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

OK changed my mind about my deck. i agree poseidon is good against gravity, but i think entropy and earth will target us with EC, and their gens will use bows.
instead, I'll still run poseidon, but as patient wardens (yay!)

Spielkind did testing, and concluded that if we are going to use fractal/wtf bow against earth, then Balltal is the better option.

Manuel, we did testing with SpeedPoison and unfortunately it got rekt by pulvy mono and shipwrecker/patient wardens. I think these are too likely to risk. I'll run it as -discard, with 2 relics. So long as you save a ball in hand to fractal so they don't wreck us with 1 lucky CC, it should be consistant

[Spielkind]

CC was never an issue, cause there was mostly BB, what you can Fractal still. But that pulvy killing Sopas made damsels too slow for damage, 1ball+1frac+1sopa in hand is win!

[Manuel]

sorry but i'm still busy with my mom thing

i don't remember if i tested speedpoison or another patient squids vs earth, but i remember the thing on who play first the card with cc ability wins, maybe i teste

thx for testing

[Spielkind]

Gimme a beat when we can sub, no problem mate!

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Speil and i did loads of testing on manuel's balltal. Concluded that mercenary would be a better version, have changed now.
