Solo Shodown

NopetheBard beats yjuq 3-0
:chibirook: > :chibigloria:
Pretty decisive 1st game, then the 2nd game was closer. Game 3 ended with a long round of Murder Super Chicken, which I narrowly won with AA. I never actually had CMB but pretended that I did with 3 As most of the game
GGs, yjuq! Good luck in your future matches!

And you may not have to! :slight_smile:

Please take me out of the tournament. Iā€™m done with Yomi for the foreseeable future. I canā€™t play often enough to stay in practice, so thereā€™s no point.

Iā€™m sorry to hear that, but yeah, weā€™ll take you out of the bracket.

@snoc v @Owlflame

hidden if you want to watch the vid without spoilerss

:gloria: :psfist::pschip: :menelker: drew about half my deck before finding any hearts or 10s by which point Menelker has roughed me up down to 20-30hp (mostly by a T1-2 throw A+) so Iā€™ve had to do some emergency 0-value healing to stay in the game. Eventually manage to Jack/Overdose my way into a 50/50 mixup to close it out with an OD to leave me at 4hp.
:gloria: :psfist::pschip: :menelker: Again a slowish start for me, but not quite as bad as the first game. I go pretty low hand but manage to stick a Healing Sphere long enough to get some fuel, but Menelker does so much damage. Eventually I manage to close it out, this time doing the winning Overdose from 12hp.
:gloria: :psfist::pschip: :menelker: This time the deck gives me everything I need on a plate, opening with Aā€‹:heart:, 10 and J in hand, and Iā€™m starting to get some reads on Owlflame too. Before too long I am looking at a 50hp-15hp advantage, and only a Bonecracker into my ā€œsafeā€ dodge can delay the inevitable by preventing me from ODing that turn. Iā€™m not sure if following up there was correct, as it let me pull the A back into hand to do it again, but I guess you have to try to close down the deficit somehow.

GGs, this matchup is a real blur and although Iā€™m pretty sure that the hand disruption tools Menelker has give him the advantage, they take a bit of knowledge to apply correctly (Game 2 you had to make me discard the Aā™„, never a 7 when I have another in hand) and sometimes you do just die to Gloria getting her engine running early and just losing combat.

Video uploading, will post in the other thread.

All three games were just Zane doing massive damage off of incidental combat wins. I threatened anarchy in the last game, and then never had to play it because it warped the triangle too much. Also, @GutterOwl got exactly :zero: jokers in all 3 games.

GGs!

That is brutal. Maximum Anarchy was a mistake

mastrblastr 3 - 2 @migohunter
:zane: < :quince: hand started 288AA** topdeck was another 8 and then the 4th 8. Have no idea what the hell Iā€™m supposed to do with this hand. Great vs most of cast, unplayable vs quince?
:zane: > :quince: perfect, giant damage combos every turn
:zane: > :quince: got hit by raw Q twice, took no other damage, had all 4 2ā€™s this game but maximum jank combos of 8-10 damage off 3 of them although 1 had an incredibly important undercut, pulled it out by my raw Q beating 5 while I was KD
:zane: < :quince: close game, just got outplayed and out yomiā€™d on key combats
:zane: > :quince: I completely range shifted here blocked 7 of first 8 combats and didnā€™t start going in until i got worthwhile combos.

GGs, I definitely had god draws and feel I finally cashed in on throwing vs Migo in these KD spots a lot in the past and beat a lot of KD duffs which added yet another really interesting dynamic in the meta we have with each other.

Iā€™m treating Solo Showdown as good practice for bad matchups and I definitely enjoyed our set. Wish I drew more jokers, but thatā€™s always the wish vs a character like Zane! Definitely a loss I was still happy with, GGs as always.
