Favorable trades don't matter if you don't have a firm board presence. They don't really worry about the board until they get Crystal Core off. If you're only playing 1 minion per turn, they can basically handle/absorb that until they can get their army of 5/5s up and running. On either 5 or 6, you get hit with 3 charging 5/5s usually. Either they eat your board, spreading the damage safely, and then bouncing their guys so you can't finish them off, or they just begin the assault on your face.

So I have to play aggro. And so does anyone else who doesn't want to lose to this deck. Which means everyone's just going to go back to playing pirate warrior. Sigh.

wait, I just realized that the vocal version of Nefertiti I'm thinking of is some sort of bonus version for Mana Khemia. The Atelier Meruru bonus track sounds just like the original, but a lot less clean.


More clean, you mean. The production is way way wayyyyyy better in both of its versions.

The link I listened to sounded fuzzy and distorted, in an intentional kinda way.

azuarc - 2 minutes, technically
XXX - had my votes ready and everything
azuarc - if you know what you want, the topic went up a few minutes late
however...
two of the matches are one vote apart, and if you double tie it, I'm going to be pissed at you
XXX - voted

Two minutes later...

azuarc - gdi, I just shouldn't have said anything



Location of Power < Battle With Magus, 9-13
Denshou no Shi -Verum- = Ruriair, 11-11
Sonic Boom (Closing Theme) = Vortex Infinitum, 11-11

Um, yeah. There was a point with 45 minutes left where we were poised to potentailly have a TRIPLE TIE, but the two people who came along in the meanwhile both voted Magus, making that a 3 vote lead.

The more disturbing part of this poll, actually, is that it's the lowest votals we've had so far in the contest, at 22.

Best (kinda sorta) progressive track in the contest?










Yes, I left out the Gust tracks. I didn't feel like debating whether they were progressive or just vocal songs that didn't have a verse and chorus.

Man, I want to know which quest rogue deck you guys are playing against.

The first two games I played against it, I won and assumed it was just a bad deck. Turns out I had a really fast opening in those games. Every time I've played it since, I have lost. We're talking 10-15 games, across several different decks. The rogue seems to always finish the quest on exactly turn 5, always preps it out, and from that point forward, you're fighting a battle against a deck that has nothing but cheap minions that generally draw or summon more cheap minions, or they bounce the charge minions so they can attack again (and refresh their health).

Yeah, I'm not especially amused, and I'm wondering what these supposed weaknesses in the deck are so I can exploit them. Short of playing an aggro deck, I'm not sure how to combat this one.

The once-maligned Mana Khemia track makes an impressive appearance in its return. Fear Not This Night is done in by the late crowd...although nobody voted in the final ~3 hours of the poll.

DDOS is hardly the first time that we've seen a deck like this. When Grand Tournament came out, someone realized Nozdormu plus two jousts right at the end of your turn would gradually occupy all of the time on your opponent's. However, it was a really gimmicky and hard to pull off deck. I haven't seen DDOS in action. Is it pretty consistent?

I probably should have specified "non-starch" vegetables.

Most of the time when I talk about vegetables, people tell me that potatoes don't count.

Because, aside from starches, I don't eat vegetables. I refuse to. Don't like the taste, don't like the texture. No amount of "but they're good for you" will ever change that. If you can wipe away both of those, like in a soup, then okay. I can stand almost anything in a soup.

The thing that makes me a little unique is that I give fruit the same treatment.
