[Tournament] XCAFS20 - eXperimental Codex Asynchronous Fall Swiss - Sign-up / tracker thread!

Yeah, new dreamscape can affect tech 3 units as written.

And I think your question has been addressed @dwarddd though I do wish we would have chosen different wording to have it work the better way for the card you’re asking about. Oh well

Sentry prevents “the first point”

This interaction is unchanged from the normal rules:

This is now the rules question thread @Bryce_The_Rice XD /s

No, there’s a “new rules” question regarding your matchup w/ dwarddd, where he doesn’t want to reveal his tech choices to you but wants clarity

So, how could sentry be reworded, so 2 sentries stack? Just adding the words, “2 sentries abilities stack” might be kludge.

Could be “prevent first point of damage not prevented from another source”?

Or “Whenever damage would be dealt to your patroller(s), prevent one of that damage. Once-per-turn.” (Though maybe “the active player prevents” would be better, since randomizing the damage prevention could be awkward in some cases… easier to just let the attacker choose, I think.)

Big ups to everyone for finishing games in a timely fashion, you’re making my job easy this time around (it also feels way easier when we’re not doing car/driver and other weird matchmaking nonsense, lol)

Thanks for playing to @Bryce_The_Rice and @CarpeGuitarrem who have now been eliminated, appreciate you both joining the tourney and better luck next time!

With that, on to round 5, where @EricF has drawn the bye and Zhav has exhausted the pool of nearest his record, so condolences to Charnel for being next closest in record. Two or three more eliminations will occur this round, GL HF ALL!

Fine by me, I was hoping to survive long enough to see our decks face each other :smiley:

There’s a certain poetic symmetry in the double elimination of both Bashing-Discipline-Fires

Turns out, it’s not a good deck

I find it interesting how zhavier and bansa are both undefeated except for their game against each other.

Blood has been really good for me, but balance overall has been excellent for both of us.

Is it Balance really, or Green Starter? Feels like the more impactful buffs were the starter ones but I haven’t followed all the games super close

I think zhavier meant the re-balance in general, bansa isn’t using Balance.

Yea, that wasn’t really clear, heh.

Big ups again to everyone for being swift in resolving games and remembering to tag me, we are on to round 6!

First off thanks to @codexnewb and @James, who we must say goodbye to this round; I enjoyed seeing Purple / Peace and Mono Blue in this new balance format!

We’re down to 7 combatants, an odd number, which means @charnel_mouse has drawn the bye for this round.

Here are the rest of the matchups (which should not be rematches and should be balancing P1/2 splits), GL HF ALL!

XCAFS20 Round 6

  1. [XCAFS20] Round6: EricF [Past]/Peace/Truth vs zhavier [Balance/Feral]/Blood
  2. [XCAFS20] Round6: dwarddd MonoPurple vs FrozenStorm [Bashing]/Discipline/Ninjutsu
  3. [XCAFS20] Round6: Nekoatl [Growth]/Strength/Truth vs bansa [Law]/Peace/Finesse

Well with all matches wrapped early, I can kick off round 7! Only 5 players remain after myself and Neko were knocked out, and that means some forced rematches! It also means a bye, which @dwarddd has drawn this time.

GL HF to our remaining players!

XCAFS20 Round 7

  1. [XCAFS20] Round7: bansa [Law]/Peace/Finesse vs EricF [Past]/Peace/Truth
  2. [XCAFS20] Round7: zhavier [Balance/Feral]/Blood vs charnel_mouse [Balance]/Blood/Strength
  3. dwarddd (bye)

A bit longer to finish that round, but we’re moving on! Well played to @zhavier who was felled in the balance + blood quasi-mirror, good enough for 5th place.

With all players now on two losses, round 8 shapes up effectively as a semi-final, where the winners will be meeting in round 9 to be crowned champion of the rebalance!

GL HF to our final four!

XCAFS20 Round 8 SEMIFINALS

  1. [XCAFS20] Round8: dwarddd MonoPurple vs bansa [Law]/Peace/Finesse
  2. [XCAFS20] Round8: EricF [Past]/Peace/Truth vs charnel_mouse [Balance]/Blood/Strength

And here we are, FINALS! Congrats to @dwarddd and @charnel_mouse on the 3rd/4th finishes, well done to go that far in this wonky format, but it seems we simply did not nerf Peace hard enough XD

GL HF to our two finalists, @EricF and @bansa! Since this is a repeat match we’ll swap sides from the first run of it, so action is to you Eric

XCAFS20 Round 9 FINALS
