Did we want a 3rd place match?

Yes, I'll want to play a 3rd place match.

lol don't try to jinx me, #1 seed!
Already thinking about the next tournament. Maybe we can borrow the Lost Cities tournament rules where we added up the scores of three games, or do a best of three. That'd take some of the variance of one game out of it. Could seed the top 4 or 8 from this tournament and randomize the rest, something like that.
Are there any infinite loops or scoring exploits in Storm of Souls / Immortal Heroes that would make adding up three scores a bad idea? I know one or two of you are into that kind of thing...lol.

3rd place matches havent worked well in my tournaments, I would advise against it

Damn, good game. I played my turn before I left for work this morning and was convinced that I was going to come home and see that I lost.
Yeah I felt I had a slight advantage but your last turn was pretty killer. Felt like you picked up ~15 points from that one alone.

I'll let Heel do the honor of posting his pasting of me, but to give you a sneak preview, he had 36 deck honor in just Mechana constructs. I'm pretty sure he had one of each.
GG Squirrel. That lifebound turn you had towards the end of the game was awesome. Was your whole hand green?
lol yeah a lot of Mechana constructs. I was able to "pay 2 less" and "get a soul gem" early in the game, letting me rack up cheap Mechana points and letting the "pay 2 less" cycle around in my deck to give me a soul gem every few turns.
Didn't manage to find any that let me do anything particularly evil. Mechana can get really scary if you get ahold of cards that let you put constructs back in your hand, back in your discard pile, or search for them in your deck.

Holy Hell.

Great game, was convinced that I was going to lose when I saw your last turn.

I had to! It felt torture watching your last turn, seemed like it was never going to end.
lol yeah, kicking myself in hindsight because I made a few moves later in the game figuring I was behind more than I was. I bought some high priced cards knowing I was about to shuffle hoping I'd see them again (and didn't). Could've just picked up the cards worth a few more points that were on the table instead.
Also, missed a point killing a 3 cost monster up top instead of two 2 cost ones...d'oh.
Let's play some more. I want revenge! lol

I'd love to play some more games, but I am headed out in a few minutes and I won't be back until Sunday evening sometime.

Definitely, this was fun
Let's go to the boardgaming thread and brainstorm the next format. I'm guessing most people unsubscribed from the thread.
Let us know when you guys have finished the 3rd place match, we'll need to know for seeding the next tournament.
Ahhem..um...I'm just building your confidence until it matters...lol.
