SHSO Card League II

Poet,

I believe the phrase "1 in every 8 packs" is a roundabout way of stating RNG percentages. You should see that phrase as meaning you have of 12.5% of the pack's rare becoming a super rare. Your first sample spread of pack opening showing is large and reveals that you had a 15.88% success rate. Those percentages are pretty similar and perhaps you were a tad on the lucky side of the random number generator. You second spreads, albeit low, show 6-8% drop rate. Which I guess is pretty unlucky. I think that there is no pattern, just random numbers.

But even so, I still have more "Improving the Odds" than you. :P

Adding to the gimmick deck discussion,

Perhaps it would be best to view these terms as a set restrictions in deck building for league runs and small tournaments.

For example:

Expansion Limited (ie. Quests, Rise of Heroes, Unleashed, Villains' Fury. Dark Justice.)
Theme Limited (ie. Only Certain Characters, Groups, Power Levels, Factors, etc.)
Banning Cards (ie. Tournaments where we play with a list of voted upon banned cards and restrictions.)

Raker,

My favorite awful theoretical theme/gimmick/fanshipping deck is my Deadpool and Spider-Man Best Friends Forever! deck. I just want it to work so bad, and it just performs even more badly. :*( Also, what's up wid Hearthstone, kid????

Thanks to all who played in the tourney! It was a blast! Thanks to Mason (and the patience it takes) for running this!

I would say good games. Also I apologize for not screenshotting the match as i was not prepared (Illidan Stormrage). It was a straight up loss with no chance of coming back and his luck played a major factor i did have a few misplays underestimating spy's luck

Edit: Also appreciate the sarcasm

<laughs> No sarcasm. I'm shocked I won the tourney!!! I did luck out with my two deck choices, though! That first game was one lucky block away from being close!

Gallant Centurion Spy
2014 Card League Champion

Congrats to you Spy, well deserved. Thanks to all who participated. Working on concepts to keep competitive card matches going with top players. The Manhunter Tournament might be the way of the future. I will be PMing you Spy, so you can receive your championship prize. Now that the League has ended the conversation can be open and we can discuss decks, deck building favorite cards and such. And for a quick quiz, what three cards are in almost every deck I build? I call them Mason cards, let's see who has been paying attention.

Supernatural soda, sliced in half and uhh that power decreasing card can't remember.

I am trying hard to make this deadpool and spidey deck to work http://prntscr.com/4y5suy its just too hard!

[CenturianSpy]

Here's my Fantastic Four deck that did quite well in the tourney because mainly of Loop De Loop and Quick Save. All photos taken from our wiki.





This deck is FANTASTIC against "healer" decks but is vulnerable to energy and strength decks. Since this is also an "energy" deck, it favors you, BUT is still vulnerable. And not too many of you folks play a strength deck in tourneys...

Damn it gallant I as gonna use my hulk deck but I thought everybody would be cautious about them! Nooooooo , also a card deck with uneven block scheme never heard of such a thing. Guess I should've stop following the rules and make a more aggressive deck.

Hmmm well I can see now why my purple/green x-men deck destroyed this but my wolverine and mostly red hulk decks had a hard time. I'm also not so sold on such an unbalanced defense, although hedging your bet towards a healer deck in league/tournament play is definitely wise.

How do you say --- "Vulnerable to Erase Your Destiny!". That's quite a gutsy defense given the first lesson I learned playing the card game was "Always hold an Energy Block to counter Erase Your Destiny". Then after playing Mason so much it was "Always hold a speed-block to counter Slice-in-Half". Especially since you'll be drawing cards out -- you'd have to hope to pick the Energy block back up with "Quick Save" [I guess that is what you eluded to].

Thanks for sharing -- I'm also interested in seeing the power distribution -- I typically think ~ 15-20 beyond Level 7 and that fits the bill.
