I named my deck Solemn Judgment Sinister Serpent control. The gameplan of the deck is to leverage Sinister Serpent to make favorable trades until the gamestate is simplified, and then set as many Solemns available to reduce the chance of an turnaround situation to zero. I chose this deck because the average card has higher EV than the average card in any other deck. (I know it's just Chaos Turbo) What decks or players were you looking forward to playing against? I was looking forward to playing against anything below tier 1. I have no ego about admitting that I want easy rounds. What decks or players were you NOT looking forward to playing against? Everyone good. Especially experienced players like Kris, who knocked me into loser's bracket, because at that level of play, a lot of decisions become 50/50 guessing games and game outcomes become highly dependent on the combination of cards you drew in relationship to the combination they drew. What card had been overperforming for you today? Sinister Serpent. It's the heart of the deck and has among the highest EV of any card in any situation. What has been your favorite moment of the event so far? I tricked one of my opponents into choosing a wrong card by sending fake behavioral signals. I won't share the exact play because if everyone starts doing it, that would be bad for me. If you could go back, what (if any) changes would you would make to your deck today? I would have taken the rogue matchup side cards out of my side. I knew the chances of tournament winning players using rogue decks was low, but I also thought maybe one of them would try to punish that assumption by playing rogue. This is an example of what I meant earlier by annoying 50/50 guesses at high levels of play. KPerovic
How did you prepare for today's event? Did you practice with a specific person or team? I didn't prepare much at all, actually, so above all else I'm thankful to @Dale, @james arc, @siwski, and @Smoker_ for getting me up to speed for this event. What deck did you play today and why? Chaos Turbo. I originally had plans to meme through this event with Lockdown Burn, but @james arc told me he bet money on me, so I didn't want to let him down. He was convinced that Chaos Turbo was the best deck right now, so I played it (and Spies in particular) for him. What decks or players were you looking forward to playing against? I had hoped to play against some of the Rampage guys, so I guess I'm disappointed they were destroyed so quickly by others. Other than that, I was hoping to play against more Aggro decks because that's what I sort of designed my main deck to beat, but interestingly I haven't been paired up against any yet. (There's still time, of course!) What decks or players were you NOT looking forward to playing against? Just Dale. I love my Canadian teammate and only ever want to play against him in the finals. What card had been overperforming for you today? I hate to say it but Gravekeeper's Spy. What has been your favorite moment of the event so far? My match against geistD has been the most interesting one so far, for sure. In Game 3, I had managed to calculate a sneaky game shot against him that he happened to miss, and I won because of it. I don't know how that match would've turned out if he played around it like he should've. If you could go back, what (if any) changes would you would make to your deck today? If I could go back, I would put Graceful Charity closer to the top of the deck because I think I've only seen that card once or twice so far. And I would change my copy of Ring of Destruction to be the TCG artwork, because I don't really care much for OCG version. TheNano
What decks or players were you NOT looking forward to playing against? I felt good about every matchup. What card had been overperforming for you today? The entire deck was good. What has been your favorite moment of the event so far? The entire event was good. If you could go back, what (if any) changes would you would make to your deck today? The only things I considered as viable differences in the main deck were Cyber Jar and Jar of Greed. The sideboard was fine but there's surely more to try. MaxEffort313
What decks or players were you NOT looking forward to playing against? Players with Dup, Pot, and Graceful What card had been overperforming for you today? Dust Tornado What has been your favorite moment of the event so far? Pro Heavy game one for three. If you could go back, what (if any) changes would you would make to your deck today? Would add Call somehow for Swordsman LVL 2.
