Takeno's Cavalry might be ok in a Nightshade Peddler deck, but you'd have to have some sort of global effect that makes all creatures Spirits. It wouldn't be good.

I can already tell this will be awesome.

Good luck to all competitors.

Scorching Spear is pretty meta, it does kill half the must kill threats on this list of all stars. After all who plays creatures with more than 2 toughness?

Crappy Cards challenge: Security Detail vs. crap challenge - mindless null Winner: Mindless Null Life left: 20 (not bad)

Now there are 5 decks eliminated and 5 decks still fighting for victory. Now since 5 is an odd number and its hard to have elimination with odd numbers, positions 5 to 6 will be decided now.

Viashino Skeleton Deck shall be eliminated because it almost lost against Thermal.

CRAPPY * OR NAWH will be 6th being almost able to defeat Viashino.

PancakesOnSalsa Randomly?

October 17, 2014 12:51 p.m.

UnknownDemon says... #38

PancakesOnSalsa Viashino Skeleton deck had the least life left from the 5 decks that won their 1st battles and Thermal Blast managed to damage most its opponent from the 5 decks that lost their 1st battles. How is that random.

nighthawk101 says... #39

@PancakesOnSalsa: The way I understand it, the tournament bracket structure is built for eight decks. The two that you mentioned were removed from the bracket so the tournamnet could function correctly.

Also, Thank you for doing this challenge haha. This inspired me to make a place where cards this bad could be used competitively.
