Welcome everyone to our winter tourney! Glad to see a good 12-player field here

Here are our round one matchups, reminder that if you are listed first in these pairings you are expected to start a thread w/ a title containing the exact text below (so I will be starting a thread for my game w/ hardy with the text [CAWS20] Round1: FrozenStorm [Demonology/Necromancy]/Finesse vs hardy83 [Discipline]/Anarchy/Finesse

GL HF everyone!

CAWS20 Round1

Typical, you wait ages for a Black deck and five show up at once.

FrozenStorm · January 7, 2021, 3:39pm

I’m a little bummed no one is running Miracle Grow for “control” to measure the new decks.

How will we know if new things are strong if they aren’t dethroning the strongest things right? Winter and Summer are the tryhard tourneys IMO

Anyways hope everything is going smoothly for everyone, lmk if anyone needs help / judgements / has questions

Bryce_The_Rice · January 7, 2021, 3:54pm

Sorry pal, I’m not good at miracle grow, and honestly I hate growth.

FrozenStorm · January 11, 2021, 3:42pm

With 4/6 games finished I am going to wait one more day to see if one of the games remaining can finish up

FrozenStorm · January 12, 2021, 10:13pm

Okay, with Bansa and Nope’s progress I feel good about these matchups being as fair as can be.

@EricF and @charnel_mouse still yet to finish so y’all will have to juggle two games, please try to keep things moving!

On to round 2, gl hf all (except @zhavier of course XD)!

@frozenStorm: The link doesn´t work for me. Is there already a Spreadsheet to look at?

FrozenStorm · January 13, 2021, 3:45pm

I can’t edit the OP anymore (ugh) but here is the link:

EDIT I was able to edit the OP, it’s there as well!

Unity · January 13, 2021, 4:00pm

Thank you!

EricF · January 14, 2021, 9:37pm

@FrozenStorm I’m going to drop from this event. My brain just isn’t in a Codex headspace right now, and I don’t expect to get back there for a while.

I may re-join you for CAPS.

FrozenStorm · January 14, 2021, 10:19pm

Sorry to hear that @EricF but can totally understand and respect it, I do hope we get to see you back for Spring!

@bansa that means you’ll have a bye this week

@charnel_mouse I’m inclined based on the board position to give you a W for round 1 so I think I will. Open to hearing objections if there’s strong feelings it should be marked as a bye from other players but a T3 Vandy maxband w/ no strong answer is very tough to come back from in that position

bansa · January 14, 2021, 10:29pm

No objections I say it’s a fair call.

charnel_mouse · January 14, 2021, 10:44pm

I was going to mark this as a forfeit in the match data, since that’s what I usually do when people drop, especially so early. I haven’t looked at EricF’s turns, but I also mucked up the patrol, so my Heroes’ Hall was going to come a little late for comfort against Garth. If you think my position is really that strong, against EricF of all people, I can mark it as a normal victory instead?

FrozenStorm · January 14, 2021, 10:48pm

Based on what he had teched and was holding (especially post Shadow Blade), I would say you win from that position 9 times out of 10, yeah

charnel_mouse · January 14, 2021, 10:49pm

Feels bad to get a first win against EricF that way, but OK, I’ll defer.

FrozenStorm · January 20, 2021, 3:05pm

We’re close enough that I feel good posting the next round here. @Nopethebard happened to draw the bye between them and Steve.

I encourage everyone to ask questions or seek help from experienced players if they’re having trouble resetting their spreadsheet / other means of tracking game state when they make a play error. I’m happy to help wherever I can in that regard, as if things aren’t resolved correctly it can make resolving a future issue in the game very sticky.

GL HF everyone!

CAWS20 Round 3

bansa · January 20, 2021, 11:39pm

Brutal for P2s so far. Round 1 was 5-1 and Round 2 is now a sweep with 5-0. Yikes. Could’ve been 6-0 if EricF stayed in.
