*These don't stack.  Limited to one pair or trio combo -whichever generates more upgrade bonus is applied. When there are single arcana beyond the pair/trio, +1 ups for each single in the deck.

Okay, I'm signing up! Fear my complete lack of PvP experience!

...So, uh, how do I get my decks checked for compliance to the rules at this stage?

Discord/forum PM me what you're testing out to see if you're understanding things. The only fortune you can't choose 100% in advance is Omikuji, but you can hypothetical build for it anyway - build with the small blessing to be conservative.

Omikuji simplified.  Players wish for 1 of 3 and automatically receive the great blessing.  Upgrades wish was increased from 4 -> 5.

We'll approach sign-up and play semi-casually.  Goal for R5 to be about 2 weeks long, allowing a break and time to sign-up for the next event.  R5 Matches can start as early August 26.

Post by: Septima Rhay on August 25, 2023, 05:23:53 pm
Matches can start as early as tomorrow, 8/26 and go up to 2 weeks or the start of the next event.  We'll allow players to sign-up through the weekend.  Good fortune to you all.

Yellowjacket
025rg065rr065s7065ru07606065v1065vb065vg057q00a7t4018ps
Upgrades: 5xGoon+Midas + 3+5 base ups = 23
Results: Went 3-2. Goon-midas and GhostMare work well together.
It Just Works?

054sg02596045f8045j2045il045p0045sd015uk045vb045vg0f6ru097t4018pt
Upgrades: 4xMinotaur+Siren+Goon + 3+5 base ups = 32
Results: Went 3-2. Improved by focusing more on smashing heads and less on bad engines.
The Trap

Upgrades: 3xSurgeon+Elf+Sadism + 1 Surgeon + 1 Druid + 3+5 base ups = 28
Results: Went 3-2. Much better slimmed down and focused, I like the synergies.

Upgrades: 4xBoar+Jet Stream + 2 Draft + 3+5 base ups = 22. I actually messed up my count, so let's pretend I picked Geomancy=Gravity for this deck.
Results: Went 2-3. Just one more win and all my decks would have gone 3-2. But it's fine because instead this one got to have the best name.

While fun to play PvE against mages, it's vulnerable to early CC and can be thoroughly curb-stomped by unsummon at any time.
The real purpose of this deck can be seen in this PvE match:

A total misnomer. When I first put the deck together, I forgot about lithomancy, so it really was semi-upped, but... Well, let's stick to the flying pigs part. Straightforwards rush. Turlututu's goons stole all my permanents and stopped me from building up fast enough.

Again, straighforwards. My win against Septima came from nighshadeing minotaurs because I didn't draw any orochi, but otherwise played much as expected. My loss against Serpex was through deckout, as I didn't draw any nightshades until too late and couldn't get my orochis going.

Came close in several matches, but just couldn't cut it.

In general, my goal was to make my decks as different as possible. I drafted another cardinal quad that remained unused for being too redundant with my other decks. Perhaps it would have out-performed Fortune? It was smaller, so maybe wouldn't have spent so much time drawing four hand drills in a row when what I needed was an hourglass. Anyways, I digress. Fun matches, good games, everyone.

I'm pretty sure you won with that deck.
Against you I lost vs pestal, lost vs whirlpool, lost vs SoPaCow, won vs catmill and won vs the big deck (in that order).

Not that I mind if you want to retroactively concede that game :-p
