Hour 11, Your Last Chance to Win.

Last weekend saw the 1st Spoils Australian Open Championships. The location: Good Games Melbourne. The players were excited and pumped for a weekend of TCG cards & a little of the cards that Crown had on offer.
For all the Sydney & Wollongong players whom travelled thanks for supporting the event. Thanks to Good Games Melbourne whom were happy to host the event.

Please be aware that this is a roughly translated version of the German report by Mr. M4R. The original can be found here!

Both players are at 3

Your opponent is attacking you with his One-legged Hopping Pogo-Bear (Which he can not afford to lose). You have blocked with your Dragon Archer and before damage is assigned he tries to Noble Sacrifice your blocking Dragon. Picking his Surplus Soldier and your Dragon Archer.

The community has chosen it's Champs! Here are the winners of the "Show Us Your Deck!" contest. We had a great selection of decks and we would like to give a big thanks to everyone that submitted a deck list! We are sure there will be tons of player insipred by your creations! So enough with that, here are the winners (and a runner up)!

And here they are! We have received 17 decks from the community. All of these decks come in at $100 or less! One of these decks will be the winner of the Best Overall Deck and two more will be chosen by you, the Spoils community, as the most creative and the best budget deck (Peasant). Everyone gets 3 votes (one vote for each deck type, Best, Creative and Peasant) and no voting on your own decks.

My name is Johan Bisenius. I have been playing the Spoils for a year and a half and managed to grab the first position in the Swedish National Championship last year. I also won the Winter Limited Championship recently and am looking forward to this year's National Championship. I have a background as an avid YGO player (One national win and several regional) and started off my TCG career with Magic some 17 years ago, but never on a competitive level.

Since the release of Seed 2, I have been watching the development of our local metagame. It has been rather interesting to see how a few cards have drastically changed it. Even though Gilded Yurt was the first one to catch our eyes and to exploit cards with "come into play" triggers, the only real change to the metagame was a small shift to more aggressive decks as well as the inclusion of location destruction such as Chain Reaction.

Today we have a deck designed by grobi. The key interaction here is Inadequate Wand and Wanton Wizard. These two cards are bff’s for sure! You can use the wizards to stave off an attack and then bounce him before he dies to search your toolbox for either Redonkulous or Evanesce! You then have the ability to use these tactics with the knowledge that you will be able to bring them back again using the Wizard you just bounced.

Another common / uncommon deck. This deck is really just about dropping effcient creatures and beating face with them. Your MVPs will be Spry Archer and Robustical Badass. Utility creatures include Idol Smasher, and Plunging Shriever for item control and then Virtuous Razer for the location.

With VERY little direct damage in the game Gallant Commander can really pull off wins at the last moment.

Last we have Essence of Rage, Barrier of Benevolence, Perforate, Improvised Blowtorch for tricks and removal.

Fervent Beastslayer is your mid game fatty.

The idea here is that you can build this deck for... 75 cents... maybe $1. (just buy a veteran spoils player a soda!)

No.. but really, this deck is all commons and uncommons and is actually a really good beginner deck. The plan here is to abuse a card called Gilded Yurt. This card is one of the easiest to abuse cards that the Bankers have. It allows you to "blink out" characters you control. You combine this with cards like Dowsing Cleric, Dwarvish Grimalkin, Circumspect Hijacker, Property Condemner and Treasure Brokerage and you gain card advantage pretty quick.
