Final duel between Bloodlips and Louis (Writer/Coordinator of the game) during the Play against the Devs event (Aug 30th 2012).
Louis' comments after the duel :
"The duel between Bloodlips and myself might seem to be one-sided. I thought I would go over the strategies behind both decks used in this duel.
Bloodlips employs a fast deck, deploying low-cost creatures as quickly as possible. This deck needs floods the board and overthrows the opponent very quickly. Sandalphon is the ideal Hero for a super-fast deck, since Haven has many low-cost creatures and resource accelerators.
My deck, on the other hand, is quite the opposite: it’s a “stasis” deck. My deck relies on delaying my opponent as long as possible with Shadow Sanctuaries and Stone Shields. Playing Necromancers allows me to “resurrect” my used defensive cards to stall for as long as needed. It also lets me fetch cards to make sure I do not run out of copies.
While the board gets flooded by Bloodlips’ Holy armies, I gain more and more momentum, drawing the necessary cards to stall the game until I can defeat him in 1 Turn.
Here are some details of my deck strategy: Once I reach around 8 to 10 Resource, I play a Shadow Sanctuary and the Spell For Whom the Bell Tolls, wiping all creatures at the start of my next turn. On my next turn, I’ll play as many Fire Camps as possible, then use Crystal Mines to multiply my resources and end up with approximately 80. I’ll then play several Stone of Enlightenment to draw tons of cards and deploy 6 to 8 low-cost creatures. I’ll then play a Time Jump card to gain a new turn, dealing around 15 dmg, before playing a second one to finish the job while my opponent goes O.o!!!
Now back to the game
All things were going well for me until a member of the Dev team told me that Bloodlips has the Prison card in his deck. It so happens he had 1 copy and that card was in his hand, ready to be played, right on time to break my combo and win the day
Light Triumphed over Darkness… for now
On a side note, for all of you out there who think those 2 decks are too strong, they will be re-balanced before we go into open beta. Many cards are being revised thanks to feedback from our Closed Beta players. Thus Bloodlips and I will have to rely on whole new decks to try and become rising champions. I hope to meet you out there on the battlefield!
Thank you all who participated in this “Players Vs the Dev team” event. For us it was a great experience to share and learn more about our community!"
