I played a game this morning that took 25 minutes and almost made me late for work. I was playing a rush deck and just wanted to try to get some creds after having all the connection issues last night. Of course I run into someone who thinks a deck with clothes make the man, counters, copycat, animus, history glitch and cesare is a great idea. Seriously? I had to slog my way through 7 or 8 animus, 4 history glitch, kill off all his cesare and finally beat him down. I'm too stubborn for my own good, next time I may just give them the game early (unless it's someone I know from this board in which case I will delight in persevering).
If I hadn't been facing some time pressure, it wouldn't have been so bad, but I look forward to when tournaments are implemented so that these types of decks really lose their value. Next time I face him I'll play a deck that destroys that that type of deck - it has tons of weaknesses.

Haven't you played similar decks in the past? Your infamous mill deck?

More and more control decks.

The mill deck takes 5-8 minutes typically. But yes, the play options by my opponent can be limited by discard and counter during that time. It's probably painful for my opponent, so slightly guilty as charged. Plus if the runs that long, I've got it won typically.
25 minutes and he loses? What's the point of that deck?

Btw, I had to laugh at your response Ringel before I tried to explain the difference  |

That's a long game? I had one game that lasted just under an hour.
At one point in the middle 7 days passed with neither of us playing a card.
They were running draw/counter and I was reboot/carnival/counter.
In the end I won when their deck ran out and I realized my 5 remaining threats couldn't be stopped by their last 4 cards. My draw deck still had 20 of 50 cards to go.
Never again. I now run only rush decks.

When you meet a guy called "DarkenShadow", you will really fall asleep when you play with him. his deck has around 60 cards, all of them are boosters, order counters and crime cards to steal your sites and agents. he waits you to play cards then counter or steal from you all the time, if you dont play, he doesnt play. So i made the same deck (more mean than his) for play with him. i met him again yesterday, after 30 mins play, i beated him very badly in the same way. but i wont play it again cuz its sooooooooooooooo boring.

I just played one against GuroOfRed
Was playing with my common deck and he did a Merchant Guild lock on me and won, and I ran into him again so i switch to my prototype Assassin Deck.
It was pretty much counter after counter after counter and I decked out, but was keeping some cards ready.
I had a Paola lock on all regions, so if he ever scored I got it covered.
I was decked out, wasn't playing anything, and he assumed I was out of tricks and played the combo, and immediately I hammered it with my last court order. Out of rage he he tried a Cesare Rush on the region I was controlled, but I managed to slow him down, sacrificed my last attacker to stop Cesare, used Paola to drop down the score on that region and also the Merchant Guild Region to drop it out of 10.
Then I launched my own Cesare and started capturing the other region.
Then we waited for a couple of days, I no longer had a deck so I just kept waiting every day to see if he would do something. I only needed 1 more point on the 2nd region.
And finally out of rage he relentless tried to stomp me out with his Cesares. He kept playing KhaP and Forced Inheritance to boost Merchant Guild while attacking, thinking if he kept overloading Merchant Guild my Paolas would not be able to drop it down. I Only needed one Paola as I got the others to block Cesare, dropped Merchant Guild to 8, and used Cesare to capture the other region.
I swear it lasted almost an hour. I stopped recording because it wasn't worth it.

I just played Farfadet44 that was painfully long.
This guy played nothing but Faux Pas, Scientific Espionage, Untimely End, Court Order, Preemptive Strike, Lassitude, Royal Decrees, Radical Demotions.
He played two Cesares which were countered by me through actions that were initially countered, but I had enough actions that he couldn't counter all of them.
One of his Royal Interventions scored, but I stopped a second. He ended up getting Marcos out and all my attempts to kill the Marcos were countered.
This guy had so many counter cards that he started countering my Plentiful Crops and Discreet Callings; it was ridiculous.
Seriously, what is the point of a deck like this?

I play a deck like that... Marcos and counters (no RIs). I usually turn to it after running into one too many combo decks.

Recording? We're you recording with app or video device or something? Jailbreak App called Display Recorder. You can map a quick record function to the sleep button by holding it and then it will prompt you to start recording. |
