3-leg Team PVP Event - Round 2

Locomotion with three limbs is known as tripedalism.  Parrots and Kangaroos exhibit this behavior.  OpenEtG players are now the third documented tripedalists.

Inspired by original EtG's 3-man PvP
Hosted by asdw152 and Septima Rhay

Team and Element-use Rules:
Players unite as 2-player teams.  Each team plays three best-of-5 matches each round; each match is a 'leg' that can be played by 1 of the 2 teammates.  A player must play at least 1 leg/match per event round.  Once per event may one team member play all 3 matches in the round (only due to scheduling/availability issues).  Teams choose 1 element for each match/leg and 1 overall team element. For each match/leg, there will be a randomly assigned 'battle element' that apply to both players in the match/leg.  So, for each match/leg, the player builds decks from 3 elements: (1) team element, (2) leg element, and (3) battle element.  We are using a swiss-style, double elimination match format.  Teammates should discuss how to manage deck building, scheduling matches, which leg(s) to play, etc.

Spoiler for Team/element example:
Team name: Lodes-of-fun   vs
Team element:  :earth
Leg 1 element:  :entropy
Leg 2 element:  :air
Leg 3 element:  :aether
     Team name: Stacked
     Team element:  :gravity
     Leg 1 element:  :death
     Leg 2 element:  :water
     Leg 3 element:  :time

For each leg/match, the event hosts will randomly assign a 'battle' element. Example:

Round 1 battle element for Leg 1:  :life
Lodes-of-fun Leg 1 builds decks with  :earth :entropy :life
Stacked Leg 1 builds decks with  :gravity :death :life

Round 1 battle element for Leg 2:  :light
Lodes-of-fun Leg 2 builds decks with:  :earth :air :light
Stacked Leg 2 builds decks with:  :gravity :water :light


Deckbuilding Rules:

Players build decks for each leg/match that consist only of cards from their 3 available elements (as noted in the above Team/element rules section).   Battle elements are randomly determined before each matchup is posted.  Battle elements cannot be either of the two dueling players' 'leg' element or 'team' element and will always be something else.

- Each deck may use 10 upgraded cards
- No non-ppm chroma cards
- You may change decks between games
- You may use Pillars, Pendulums, and Mark cards (ppm) quanta cards) that don't match your 3 Elements
- You must use at least 2 of your 3 Elements in each deck (If you use an element, you must use at least 4 non-quanta cards)
- You may not use the same combination of elements more than twice in a match (This refers to your 3 Elements); the trio counts as a different combo - basically there's 8 possible combos per best-of-5 match.

We've *removed* the deck examples and the 'decksize' rules from Round 1. You can have a 26 water/4 gravity cards deck or 56 water/4 gravity cards deck.  As long as the gravity cards are non-ppm.


Prizes each player on team:

1st Place: 36000 Gold + Shiny Nymph Code
2nd Place: 24000 Gold + Shiny Nymph Code
3rd Place: 18000 Gold + Shiny rare Code
Participant: 12000 Gold

Round 2 rule clarification.  We removed the deck size limitations.  Duo or Trio elements need 4 non-ppm to qualify as 'using' the element.  We're back tracking what we said earlier today, to raise the minimum non-ppm count to 5.  One team would have to change or abandon built decks if we did that.  Since this is a mid-event rule change, we'll keep the original 4 non-ppm to cause fewer disruption.

BigPollo vs Lucky Seven: Leg1 ( :fire :air :earth  vs :entropy :aether :earth  )
BigDieck 3 - 0 Hitei

I lost fair and square against BigDieck decks, afterwards we played for fun the last two games to see what happens, and where I scored two victories that only counts for morale support. :3 . Hoping to see what their team field for the next two legs.

Spoiler for decks; hitei can add commentary:
Got manhandled by earthquakes killing the quanta base making almost impossible to rush dragons.
045960361o0163a0261q0662m0461v098080181q018pm

On this game I had to mulligan and didn't drew the jelly again to put pressure on him.
045060761o0263a0462e0161u02628058080281q0380o018pj

hand was okay, but the serendipities gave me chaff, which is to be expected with random effects.  GG
Since we saw fire and air, we prepared against blue nymphs specifically as we didn't had reflective shields to protect against.
024sa024sc054vc0450u02503014vu02592015900158v046u3066uq018pi


0-3, Game 4 and 5 were 'bonus' for 'fun'.
Slime shield proved to be op against small creature rushes. and BB took care of those nasty orochis.
054sa054sc0450u025950261q02627016u3056uq026uj0277f018pi


To end the fifth game, I picked again the Jelly deck, this time the "combo" did happen, he never expected that if you jelly a ghost it becomes psionic. We were worried that people
would prepare against jelly rush as we had been using it a few times now, but it's still very strong.

Lucky 7  :entropy :water :gravity vs BigPollo  :fire :death :gravity
Leg2

L7 (3 - 2) Bigpollo
LWWLW

Spoiler for decks:
Good quanta start.  Bottom half all of the meaty cards like goose/druid.  Sose in top half gave little value. The only game for us with bad ‘luck’.
034vc0550u014vh034vu0255t0256b015ia035if016ts026ve046u3016uq026u6018pi

Debris Salvager slugging it vs. Bonewall Salvager.  Realized midgame I could jelly their salvagers to bypass bw hell.  Once I figured that out, I made my family proud.
024vc0350u064vq024vl0350604563026ts056ve017520274p018pl

2 osmosis vs 2 rage potion, which would you take in a battle?

Slightly slow start for me, too many NQs actually, 4x in the top 11 cards.  Got off an early osmosis on charger (8 damage swing). Pollo led the damage race, 2 chargers, titan early then drew into debris.  Basically, osmosis won the game.  It found a use.  Rage pot on the other hand ended up being a dead card. 
024vi02505095i4025ij055io0a7gk018pj

Good draws for both players.  Close, 1 turn from win.
0255t0256d0b5i4015ia045io0a7gk018pl

Good draw for me.  It seems discord really messaged with pollo, mixing quanta to not fire/death and sh. of sacrifice burning that quanta. Later it was a tough call on when to use shard of sacrifice.  Basically, guess if the card i was holding my hand was the 2nd discord or one of 3 jellies that would burst damage to negate sh.ofsac barrier?  He guessed jellies but it was the discord.

Ggs and good leg.

otys countered by RT, no red nymphs, which still would've been hard countered by RT regardless.

jelly outpaced, couldn't produce quanta fast enough to pressure.

054vh014vl065io08606026ts066ve026u5018pp

each freeze from that squid was met with a new creature to force timpa to freeze next, eventually just overwhelmed.

timpa only saw 2 pillars for the whole game. permafrost RNG immediately froze both his squids the turn they're played. damage was slow but timpa was slowed harder

084sa035040150a025fu025f6045io026u3087i6018pi

that moment when playing a rngbow and hoping for the best actually turns out to be the best option.

Leg 3

Lucky 7 (3-2) BigPollo

Spoiler for decks:
He quickly had 2 Red nymphs and deflagged first vagger.  2nd Vagger chipped a bit.  Yoinks basically won the game, taking away 2 bolts.  Was able to flood board later with saders and a dragon for double rage bait.  Close game.
045l8025mq025lf015m1065ll015la025vb025up037jo017la037jt037tb018pt

Faced Ragebolt again.  This time, good start, but light on entropy quanta.  Actually snuck out the win by getting 4x photon and being able to jelly with light quanta.  Close game again.
024vc064vq024vl03506014vo065l9056ts056ve018pj

Dominated by give thermal.
024vh02506025uk01606065um015vb025up045v8087t4017um017u4018pj

My mindgate said he'd expect one of the first two decks I won with and try to stall me.  Dominated by give thermal yet again -even worse.
045lt025uk01606065vi015ve065vh097t4017u4018pq

Didn't want to play one of the first two winning decks, so went with something new.  Good draws for both.  Interestingly, he packed holy light, which I suspect is for black nymph, but ended up useful vs. a 12 damage adrena spider.  Two alchs and a goose in the top 11 cards meant I could do something.  Drew enough cc to slow him down, raged own emerald dragon and won a very close match.  Definitely a lucky win here, but hey we're Lucky 7.
