ArthurWynne vs @Ivan
:degrey::psfist: :knockdown: :grave: 13 vs 10 hp endgame!
No TPoS.
:degrey::psfist: :knockdown: :grave: Endgame intensifies: 5 vs 1 hp!
No TPoS.
:degrey::psfist: :knockdown: :grave: deGrey draws all his good stuff. The 7s don’t hit but the pilebunkers do!
TPoS dodged.
:degrey::psfist: :knockdown: :grave: deGrey manages to find even more good stuff and draw that too.
Moral High Ground is off the charts. TPoS jokered.

Final result, 4-0 to ArthurWynne -but this could easily have gone very differently!

I got saved by about three lucky topdecks in a row game 7, including drawing a dodge for Acro on the turn MJ thought he landed BU.

GGs!.

Also, I think I realized why the original rules forbade staying in the same MU.

To clarify: my original intent was to allow staying in the MU, as long as it was one of the most even from both sides. You both wouldn’t have stayed in if you thought you could get and edge by switching.

In a fittingly named room,

Fluff 4-1 @vengefulpickle

:gwen::psfist::pschip::vendetta: Pickle was expecting the Perse pick, so I catch him off guard with my relentless aggression, earning a relatively easy win
:gwen::psfist::pschip::vendetta: This game is more even, but Ven goes down to a 5 card hand, after which he is forced to Acro. Gwen’s fast enough to ensure that Ven can’t hand build with 2 pokes, and Pickle can’t manage to recover.
:gwen::psfist::pschip::menelker: Pickle swaps to Menelker. I land three big early combos before stalling out, but Gwen’s card velocity ensures she can find enough Qs and Jokers to grind out the last few points of damage safely.
:gwen::pschip::psfist::menelker: I get thoroughly outplayed in a MU that’s Gwen favored, and am forced off the character.
:persephone::psfist::pschip::menelker: Turn two MC slips under Bonecracker, turn 4 MC undercuts a 3. I strip him of all his 7s by turn 4 and win about three turns after that thanks to a 5 crossup after he powered up for Q followed by throwing his block attempt.

GGs!

Indeed, MJ very wp. here is my in game analysis.
mysticjuicer 4 - 1 Legion

:grave: :psfist: :pschip: :jaina: Down to the wire, i could have won off a 7 throw but too scared. You duffing 2 huge comboes with jokers didn’t help
:grave: :psfist: :pschip: :menelker: down to the wire again, i get too aggressive and lose.
:grave: :pschip: :psfist: :menelker: Your 5 duffs an early DSD, but i recover and win
:grave: :psfist: :pschip: :menelker: i manage to almost detrsoy your hand, but you brilliantly turn tables. having 2 jokers that you knew about didn’t help.
:grave: :psfist: :pschip: :menelker: Here imo I tilted. you traded cards for health, winning with >40 hp.
I only regret the last round, otherwise imo i did my best.

I will not commentate the games because everything is fuzzy in my head. All the games were a frigging pendulum with more twist and turns than an action movie.
Respect and ggs. Next time I prefer getting whooped rather than do this again.
I’m dead.

Didnt you have to swap after losing to DeGrey?

Since Zane isnt in his CP list.

Mm, good point.

@ArthurWynne, it’s your call. You can take the results (forfeit the match), or you can call for a re-play starting after game 2.

Wow. Well, that shows how tense we both were!

But yeah, @Legion, @vengefulpickle I’d like to ask for the replay in that case.

On the plus side, that means more people will be able to spectate.

And the replay will be at 7pm CEST tomorrow!
