CSP - 2 week league - Dec-2007 dunderfunk: RW red martyr, white martyr, bloodpainter, (he was making some silly mistakes in the one duel I watched, but he won 2-1 in the end. Could be either extremely relaxed about winning, or a beginner :) Marsh76: GRBU coldsteel, frostweb, disciple, windform, balduv rage ronlin reported him playing UBRW earlier, he might well be playing all 5 in fact. And it is not like the cards he plays are super strong ones, so I have no idea what the 4-5 colours are all for. Yo Su Shi, here's the report after the frist 5 matches of the new CSP league: Nomi: [WBU] with accelaration into Rimefeather Owl. Backed up by Javeliners (1+), Survivors (2+) and Squall Drifter. Has 1+ Chill and 1+ Harvest. (lost 0-2, both times against the unbeatable Owl) 88spartans88: [GBR] standard RGB with elf (1+), centaur (1+), Herd (1+), Bull Aurochs (1+), Chilling Shade (1+), Surging Might (1+), Allosaurus (1+), Martyr (1+), Surging Flame (1+), Rimerunner (1+), Hulk (1+), Musher (1+), Rage (1+). (won 2-0, once with a timely Krovikan Rot on a Chlling Shade, which left my own Shade unblockable, the other time after two Icefall reduced his mana to 2 forsest with a Void Maw on my side.) ShutYourMouf: [BGrw] Musher (1+), Drifter (1+), Diamond Faerie, Resize (1+), Chilling Shade (1+), Magma Core (1+), Black Knight (1+), Rimerunner (1+), (won 2-0) Marsh76: [UBRW] Drifter (1+), Skred (1+), Dementia (1+), Swift Maneuver (1+), Survivor (1+), Coldsteel Heart (1+) (not played against) Spasz: [RGW] Sheet (1+), Drifter (1+), Gargoyle (1+), Skred (1+), Ironfoot (1+), Griffin (1+), Rimehorn Auroch (1+) (won 2-1, won the first game thanks to a quickly growing Maw, fed by the the orc-pinger. lost the second after mulligant to 5. won the third again on the back of the mighty Maw) jgv6442: [RUB] Survivor (1+), Ohran Yeti (1+), Pod (2+), Chill (1+), Warlord (1+), Goo (1+), Taskmage (1+), Soulspike (1+), Flame (1+), Rimerunner (1+), Harvest (1+), Ironfoot (1+), Snowcrusher (1+), (won 2-1, got the first after killing his first three critters with skred, rot and flame and then getting biggies into play for the win. lost the second against rimerunner and won the third with him being screwed and me having the 4th-turn Hulk, 5th-turn Musher flow.) so, I'm 4-1 now, not too bad for the start. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- dci foil RG centaur, frostweb, Oh yeti, nishoba, mouth sablebomb: RG sheets, saurian, 2*itn, icefall, stone spirit, red martyr, strider, centaur, herd, rimehorn, flame, pod, druid, use RGB, maybe single icefall for the sheets, or RB icefall - but it is likely not to work well. Queen deck? xalire WG juniper, sunscour, outrider, war cry P.I.D.L.I.K.: GRB-classic ghoul, 2*skred, krovikan rot, flame, 2*chill, musher, rimehorn, grim harvest, centaur, sek'kuar, 2*herd, panglacial, The 2 chills invite a pure snow-creature deck I think. Need chills and skreds - looks like an RB-icefall deck. Pheonix_Firebringer druid, frostweb, Juniper ranger, bull, 3*skred, nishoba, brawler, 3 * herd, rimehorn, lightn storm, flame, centaur, hulk, resize galoreman: valkyrie + Owl vinlos RGB: 4*herds, coldsteel, herald, mouth, OscarWilde RGB(U?): mouth, goo, sek'kuar, bloodpainter taskmage, flame, mouth RB-icefall, maybe deepfire? Sabberlod: GRB - weenie G-martyr, 2*druid, bloodpainter, centaur, grim harvest, brawler, use RG antiweenie slontoppy: RGB, weenie+ nishoba ... itn, chill, skred, 2*shade, flame, centaur, nishoba, druid, goo, I think use the icefall because of nishoba, or antiweenie but with chills. spp BUR: ghoul, 2*musher, shade, heidar, phobian, raptor, chill, flame, disciple, 2*taskmage, 2*skred, islands, ronom serpent, whispers, rimebound dead, herald, owl, play RG icefall + cryo against him he lives on snowland, but no snowland - 2 mushers and serpent are too dangerous. mezbian: Dragon deck - my only chance is icefall ... wishes: BU(W?) rune snag, controvert, aether and Blizzard specter deck, tough one to beat. Guess krovikan rot and cheap spells are needed - both grim harvests, so pure BR may be the thing. Not clear if land destruction is a good thing or not. It will be a lot of recover cards, and they are expensive so targets for rune snag. On the other hand, controvert is bad when it rolls, so keeping islands down may be necessary. I think he has a Valkyrie also, but I may be mixing up decks. brannart has minimum 2 blizzard spects and grim harvest ... musher, deepfire, raptor, windform, flame UBR - bad deck I managed to beat it with the 20 critter GR deck, just web for blocking, massive attack to use for removal ..., 18 land, 20 crit, 2 removal. ---> brannart, week 4 (GRBW): 2*itn, 2*druid, sek'kuar, juniper ranger, snowcrusher, hulk, 2* shackles, griffin, drifter, flame, 4 colours and snowcrusher - crying out for icefall I think. Ghouls for the shackles, chills for the ranger and the sekkuar/hulk. skred/flame for the grif, martyr for the druids. Looks like RB-icefall. Frodo: BUG, lost 2-1 to unbelievably bad draw (2 land forever in a 19 land deck), and to stupidity in last game. I played the RB icefall deck, and was only 1 turn from winning (he was down to 2-3 land vs my 8) despite me skipping 1 turns mainphase without land drop by mistake. His best weapon is 2 hulks. 2*hulk, survivor, 2*druid, drelnoch, disciple, xxxdobomxxx3 RUB (icefall against the queen and 2*mouth), web for the blizzard I guess, so GR-icefall. blizzard, icefall, queen, raptor, rimerunner, 2*mouth vexing, skred, survivor, 2*flame, balduv rage, drelnoch wtchun WRG martyr of sands, itn, flame, Valkyrie (turn 5, jeez), skred, gargoyle, drifter karakusk GRU 3*herd, itn, raptor, bull, heidar, druid, hulk starik hrenov UBGR (this guy plays 4 colours, and a triple B assassin - how the hell can he be top-ranked in the league ??) 2*raptor, 2*survivor, assassin, viper, Ohr yeti, 2*musher, hulk, 2*taskmage wolfborn RW (this is a strange main deck !) wolverine, cryoclasm(maindeck), luminesce(maindeck)!!, flame, harpist RB Ohr yeti, musher, shade, disciple, flame
