I missed the last window bc school...fun.

[bold widget]

Same, I'm surprised I'm still on the leaderboard but barely

[lethal spruce]

I only dropped a few places.

[summer thicket]

i have not won a single match! hahaha

[lethal spruce]

Oof...

I've taken some time testing out new strategies, hopefully they'll work

[edgy orbit]

would u guys still like me if I made a stall deck and live up to my legacy of the 30 minute Barbara stall

[lethal spruce]

No.

[edgy orbit]

[fast veldt]

no+1

[edgy orbit]

ok good Im too lazy to make one I made a deck called quicken chicken instead

[lethal spruce]

[indigo onyx]

Tcg 3rd tournament im doing the biggest stall deck ever

[lethal spruce]

You're not in this one?

[indigo onyx]

I said 3rd

Not second

But am I allowed to?

[edgy orbit]

I mean if you registered u should be able to

[indigo onyx]

It says no trolling, so I thought maybe stall decks will count as trolling

[edgy orbit]

stall decks are a part of the game tbf and you can win with them for real if you're good at it

but if ur literally just building them to piss off other people I guess it could be trolling

[indigo onyx]

I’ll slowly lower the enemy’s hp

[lethal spruce]

Considering this system we're using right now, faster matches are better, because the more matches you play, the higher you rank.

[edgy orbit]

I just said what I said earlier cuz of the 30 minute session I had where I was stalling w Barbara bc my klee was killed early on

n yea

[lethal spruce]

Yeah, I can definitely see why people would be so mad

[shadow tartan]

I respect Venti's strategy, as weird as it is

Because I respect Venti

[edgy orbit]

[shadow tartan]

He's not the kind of person who'd do that for the sake of being mean

[edgy orbit]

I only do what I think will work to help me win I won't make stuff to purposefully piss people off u guys are too cool for that

[lethal spruce]

Tru

That's a genuine strategy

[shadow tartan]

Dangerous though

[lethal spruce]

That's I've definitely used before

I once made a match reach round 11

[shadow tartan]

Oh no

[lethal spruce]

With a single Jean, equipped with the aquila favonia, the adventurers bandana, and healing cards

[edgy orbit]

Yea I made the match last till round 15 I think bc I kept switching between Barbara and moma and healing. tbf I was doing what I can to not lose after klee died

[shadow tartan]

I'm screwd

I forgot I have to do something important feb 21st

[edgy orbit]

I did make a Ningguang based deck tho so :^)

[shadow tartan]

How am I gonna get ready for that while playing cards

[edgy orbit]

I believe in u

[shadow tartan]

k now I can do it!

Oof, is it time already?

Here I go

[edgy orbit]

I'm still at work but good luck guys!!

[shadow tartan]

You too! Go get that money!

[lethal spruce]

Me doing both

[shadow tartan]

God the one scaring me the most is Blackpink

[bold blade]

I’ll be queuing in soon!

[shadow tartan]

How can someone come back from that

[white cipher]

you called

[shadow tartan]

Look at that match count

[bold blade]

y’all get free points from me at this point

[shadow tartan]

Oh hello!

Could you wait 7 more minutes before queueing up?

[white cipher]

maybe

[shadow tartan]

I'm too young to die

[white cipher]

i just like card games and learn about the variety of decks XD

[shadow tartan]

THANK YOU @lethal spruce

[shadow tartan]

Me too! Except that last part

I play a ton of card games, though I'm always not very attentive to details

Usually I bang my head against a wall for several hours until my deck works

[white cipher]

thats me

[shadow tartan]

I started with Hearthstone, how about you?

[white cipher]

good old pokemon

[strange peak]

that's my true deck all along

oh it started again... this cycle of suffering

[shadow tartan]

You mean, actual hand-held cards?

[white cipher]

yeah and online as well XD

[shadow tartan]

Damn, I think I'm too young for this conversation, sorry

[fast veldt]

i played pokemon cards when i was like in 1st grade

but im p sure no one knew the rules

so we just memed it

[white cipher]

this

[shadow tartan]

I never played a deck building game that had phisical cards

[strange peak]

well... Magic the Gathering, Rage, Pokemon TCG, Overpower (Marvel and DC), Star Wars TCG among others...

[fast veldt]

imagine making deck

not random bs go

oh shit its a freeze team

prayge

[shadow tartan]

We did have yugioh cards in my school, but the only way to play it was slapping them against the floor or table until you managed to flip them.

It was a betting game, whoever flipped the cards would keep all of them

[strange peak]

we used to have plastic sleeve protectors for the cards since some of them were actually valuable

like... a card could be worth $500

and that was before foils came

or the holographic ones

[fast veldt]

my dice rolls are so bad

[edgy orbit]

I played the Pokemon card game like once .. n then this is my second experience with tcg

[fast veldt]

rng doesnt like me today

[strange peak]

the thing about Genshin tcg is that you don't just get stumped by card rng, you also have dice rng

[fast veldt]

i played one game of hearthstone on my friends phone

and the other dude ff even tho i was losing

[white cipher]

what do when the person you queue up against leaves the chat before you do the results?

shit

thats my bad

LMAO

now worries XD

[strange peak]

Can we do that? I mean... the person should still have access to the chat until it closes

[white cipher]

no like they left and i can invite them back in

[fast veldt]

i lost my first match

[white cipher]

it said look in threads and it isnt there

sobs

[lethal spruce]

?

What'd I do?

[fast veldt]

is it not in the threads undler prelim-queue

[lethal spruce]

You're welcome?

[white cipher]

no

[fast veldt]

maybe ask a mod

[strange peak]

Some1 just missed the Q twice on me

[lethal spruce]

Noooo

Ahem.

Back to q

[white cipher]

[fast veldt]

I think im just bad at going against freeze team

Or maybe freeze team is bad

[misty harbor]

[bold blade]

[clever rivet]

[bold blade]

I’m using a lot of brain cells rn

[clever rivet]

[faint flare]

noelle otks are scary

[white cipher]

[faint flare]

otk decks in general are scary

[bold blade]

my card pulls are not in my favor

[misty harbor]

Lmaoooo

best of luck to you both

[bold blade]

there is no recovery after this

[mystic wharf]

noelle gang

[mystic wharf]

bruh, you ain't even able to co-op yet XD

[misty harbor]

DONT EXPOSE ME 😭

[bold blade]

LMAO

[rugged crane]

how exactly does knockout rounds work 🤔 do we get a random bracket from top 16?

[misty harbor]

When I finish this TCG grind trust that Barbara and I will come for both yours and Noelle’s cheeks

[lethal spruce]

I believe so.

[rugged crane]

rip rejected

[rugged crane]

so there's no real reason to grind so long as i stay in top 16?

[lethal spruce]

Oof was that me? Sorry

[lethal spruce]

Maybe? Since I'm participating,.I only know as much as is publicly available

[rugged crane]

could we get a mod / event admin confirmation? The wording on event page is a little confusing -to me-

[lethal spruce]

@frozen pike Oh great NppNop, what say you?

[white cipher]

@frozen pike sorry for the ping but the qixing told to do report because the first one i did we couldnt do the result part how do i do this?

[strange peak]

NopNop

[frozen pike]

</gireport:1073555672576303155>

[white cipher]

[white cipher]

NopNoooopNopNop

[strange peak]

I've been declined 5x times this night... no1 likes me

[bold blade]

it seems today is the day I face all geo decks

[rich wasp]

queue dodging is a problem

i think it would be nicer if we could extend the accept time to 30 seconds as well as not show your opponent before you accept queue?

[twilit steppe]

If the two of them are me then that's because I'm not fast enough sorry☹️ I never decline anyone

[eager mesa]

missed out on 5 hours of grind today

[strange peak]

I don't think it was you... but yeah... 10 sec confirmation is too short

[eager mesa]

gotta make sure my WR is good to stay in running for #1

[frozen pike]

oh, it's permissions issue, please try again now </gireport:1073555672576303155>

[white cipher]

there we go thank you

[edgy orbit]

bro i keep getting the worst dice rolls

[bold blade]

my condolences

[frozen pike]

the player would be dealt with, but im afraid the score won't be distributed because of lack of proof

[white cipher]

i got screenshots should i attach them to the report?

[shadow tartan]

Yo Blackpink ain't playing around

[frozen pike]

it's fine, don't worry!

[edgy orbit]

wait what happened?

[white cipher]

cool bean

[shadow tartan]

I don't know, I just got here

[white cipher]

so after the much i had with someone we need to do the results and unfortunately the person left without doing the results

[edgy orbit]

wtf

[shadow tartan]

Aw

At least they got a strike right?

[white cipher]

yeah and i won too

[eager mesa]

ggs @strange peak
after the yoi FTK I didn't think I could pull it off

[rich wasp]

my god

i said i was gonna go do some work after i beat atillas score

[rich wasp]

but as soon as i win

sdkhfbaklsdjfh

[strange peak]

I made a lot of doubtful plays

[eager mesa]

dubious plays + you not drawing any ramp/itto

rip

[rich wasp]

guess i wont be 2nd place tonight

[eager mesa]

was so scared of NSC/itto that last turn

[rich wasp]

unless atilla loses the next game

[strange peak]

Dammit I look away to yawn... then next thing I miss the Q

[twilit steppe]

Same as me haha..☹️

[bold blade]

I was hoping I wouldn’t miss the q from aggressively cutting my hot pocket

the summons please the xiao card is burried in my deck somewhere 😭

my hand was abysmal

[neat parrot]

sorry

[bold blade]

dw lol twas fair gameplay

[neat parrot]

I think it's time to switch up my deck haha

[shadow tartan]

Oh no

[neat parrot]

oh no?

[white cipher]

oh boy XD

[fast veldt]

oh no

i matched with ryssa

[low basalt]

Does the tournament start on February 19?

[fast veldt]

its ongoing

[low basalt]

Wait what

[shadow tartan]

Oh boy

Did you sign up?

[fast veldt]

im in a match rn but u can go read #1074538555927429182

[low basalt]

Yayaya

[shadow tartan]

Then ready up your deck and get to #preliminary-queue asap

[low basalt]

So we just do 1 match?

[shadow tartan]

You have until february 19 to do as many matches as you can

[edgy orbit]

no u just do as many as possible

[low basalt]

Ahhhh

[shadow tartan]

Each match gives you points

[low basalt]

How many matches minimum?

Ohhhhh

Well dang

[edgy orbit]

you can only match with the same person 3 times

[low basalt]

Wait so we can lose as many times as we want or nah?

[edgy orbit]

yea

[shadow tartan]

You need enough points to get into the leaderboard

Everyone in it will be allowed into the actual tournament

So in short

[marsh fulcrum]

Except when you lose 🥲

[shadow tartan]

Check #1074538555927429182 if you get lost
Go into #preliminary-queue to start playing
Check #1074501712003481660 to see how your rank is doing

[low basalt]

So a win is +1 score, does a loss then give -1 score?

[edgy orbit]

win is +3

[shadow tartan]

A win gives +3 points

[marsh fulcrum]

Correct only for loss

[low basalt]

Ioooo

[shadow tartan]

Right now you need a minimum of 6 wins to get into the leaderboard

The last person has 15 points

[low basalt]

Do we know what is the most popular deck used rn?

[faint flare]

i see a lot of monas

[shadow tartan]

Probably xingqiu and ganyu mix ups

[fast veldt]

freeze comp

[shadow tartan]

Also Noelle is making her debut

[eager mesa]

I've been beating up on noelle all day

[white cipher]

chicken

[eager mesa]

[edgy orbit]

every time i go against a freeze comp i die a little inside

[fast veldt]

same

[eager mesa]

you can go against chicken and die a lot inside

[fast veldt]

we all dying inside

maybe i should abuse ganyu freeze

[white cipher]

truth

[fast veldt]

and become meta slave

[faint flare]

[edgy orbit]

no yona .. win with honor........

[shadow tartan]

I'm ditching Mona

Time to try something new

[faint flare]

i might experiment with some rainbow decks

[marsh fulcrum]

I remember someone said that freeze players have skill issue something like that.. but number one player played freeze against me 🗿

[eager mesa]

rainbow decks are good, but they do have issues of their own

[clever rivet]

oh yeah and i beated him too :D

[edgy orbit]

whats a rainbow deck?

ive never heard of that b4

[faint flare]

three different elements

[eager mesa]

you have to rely on timmy to replace woven so you are slotted into turn 3 combo

but you get to sac chars a lot

[edgy orbit]

ohh

[eager mesa]

which makes you better at abusing itto

[faint flare]

dang already thinking about turn 3 o_o

[marsh fulcrum]

The summons 😭

[faint flare]

ive never planned that far ahead

[fast veldt]

xiao card

[faint flare]

so many pokemons

[bold blade]

every time i play against someone with an insane amount of summons, my xiao card never shows up 🫠

[faint flare]

my deck usually have some summons too so i never used xiao

[marsh fulcrum]

I have hu tao card and it’s not on me rn 💀

[faint flare]

but i do put two hutaos

[marsh fulcrum]

Omg

Yesss

I’m being so unlucky with my cards and dice rolls rn omfg

AINT NO WAY IM CLUTCHING

[shadow tartan]

I think I just ditched someone on queue

Sorry

[marsh fulcrum]

Never hecking mind 🗿

[edgy orbit]

THAT WAS THE MOST STRESSFUL GAME OF MY LIFE AND IT DIDNT NEED TO BE BC I WAS TOO DUMB TO NOTICE BARBARA

[fast veldt]

im feeling stressful too

[edgy orbit]

my bf went after the match "why werent you switching to barbara you couldve won faster" and i just quietly went "oh"

[low basalt]

I wish I had a bf who played genshin

[edgy orbit]

haha

[lucid sable]

[shadow tartan]

Ey guys we have a new competitor

Give it up to @brisk bloom, they almost stomped me

Welcome to the event!

[brisk bloom]

it was hardly a stomp >.>

[edgy orbit]

welcome thoo

[shadow tartan]

Yeah right, I won by a hair strand

[brisk bloom]

that is by definition not a stomp

[shadow tartan]

Let's call it evenly matched then! And also fun.

[bold blade]

heavy breathing against ven rn

[edgy orbit]

:3c

[brisk bloom]

I'll agree to that :D

[shadow tartan]

How's it going boys?

Care to share a screenshot without spoiling them hands?

[brisk bloom]

I don't know what's happening but certainly not going well for trill

[edgy orbit]

i almost killed jean

[bold blade]

i don’t have cards there’s nothing to spoil over here

[shadow tartan]

Then it's perfect, let's see it!

Oh god why

Lemme tilt my head real quick

[edgy orbit]

bye bye jean

[shadow tartan]

It pains me to ask this

But what turn is it

[bold blade]

[bold blade]

[edgy orbit]

[shadow tartan]

Venti...

[edgy orbit]

:^)

[brisk bloom]

that looks terribly painful for all parties involved

[bold widget]

round 7 with 3 chars at 10 HP what a stall

[shadow tartan]

This event is pain itself lol

We gotta grind for 8 hours a day, it's a full-time job

[edgy orbit]

i have been mastering the art of stalling

[bold widget]

fr, this is a 40-hour workweek

[brisk bloom]

it's funner than most jobs though :D

[mystic wharf]

true

[shadow tartan]

I hope it stays that way, yeah

[bold widget]

not as cortisol-raising as most jobs though

[bold blade]

my blood pressure go brrr

[mystic wharf]

I'm just having fun playing people who are good, and testing my limits as a noelle one-trick XD

[clever rivet]

ngl i cant do the morning preliminaries so i gotta catch up during the evening

[clever rivet]

noelle is pretty fun lmao

[edgy orbit]

and it ends

[bold blade]

that match took a few years off my lifespan

[edgy orbit]

the power of 1 small boom boom child

[strange peak]

Worst day, worst dice, worst hands

[shadow tartan]

Yeah, this day has been a bit hard

I started at 20 points

[edgy orbit]

i started at 12 n im at 6

[strange peak]

I think I lost most matches today

[crystal sparrow]

^ me all the time

[edgy orbit]

12 this morning.

[bold blade]

i started with 8 and now I’m at 5

[lethal spruce]

[neat parrot]

I can't upload image for some reason

[bold blade]

I’m losing and learning this tournament

[edgy orbit]

omg pyrrah its ur turn!

[mystic wharf]

I think I'm still going positive, but just barely

and now im against ryssa XD

[shadow tartan]

Hey, um

[quartz star]

Is there a score or exp cut off for the preliminaries?

[shadow tartan]

Is this chat gonna be deleted after this?

[bold blade]

I would assume so after the tourny is over

[shadow tartan]

I'm gonna miss these moments

[strange peak]

They'll just hide it then reuse next time I think

[bold blade]

omg the thunder outside is insane rn

[brisk bloom]

don't get hit by lighting, that would not be good for your health

[quartz star]

I kept missing out on grinding, since I forget to go in during the time slot 😅 first time actually fighting tonight

[lucid sable]

I'm 0 v 3 against Atilla

[fast veldt]

is my seat gonna be warm

[shadow tartan]

Sorry

[bold blade]

I’ll try my best

[brisk bloom]

I forgive you

[bold blade]

it sounds like a nuclear bomb is going off inside a large dome

[shadow tartan]

Hey, that's 3 new competitors today!

[bold blade]

it echoes and travels

[shadow tartan]

Welcome!

[strange peak]

Welcome to the jungle

[quartz star]

Thank you

[strange peak]

Where it will grind away all your existing joy, little by little...

[neat parrot]

we got fun and games

[fast veldt]

[brisk bloom]

[edgy orbit]

and a stall menace!

[fast veldt]

@/Cookie8201#3171 the cookie

[shadow tartan]

Dice god why have thee forsaken me

[eager mesa]

[bold blade]

i will send you my dice regen luck

[lucid sable]

:0 @strange peak how dare you ignore me

the audacity

[strange peak]

I... I... looked away for a sec

[brisk bloom]

did you forget to do your daily blood ritual?

[lucid sable]

Shoulda grown eyes in the back of your head then smh /j

[shadow tartan]

:o

[eager mesa]

just run more fixing

[shadow tartan]

So that's what's going on

[brisk bloom]

alternatively, you could also bring in weighted dice

works for me

[bold blade]

manifesting this for everyone in chat

[lucid sable]

if only

[eager mesa]

nice

you got any parametrics on your side waiting to pop too?

[lucid sable]

Better asnwer this time . . .

[lucid sable]

Don't look awayyy

[bold blade]

this was a screenshot from a game last night

[white cipher]

i want that chicken leg deck

[shadow tartan]

One last queue before sleepy time!

[shadow tartan]

What

[white cipher]

the one with Jadeplume Terrorshroom

[shadow tartan]

Oh that

[white cipher]

yer

[shadow tartan]

Well this is it

I started with 20 points

And I have 20 points rn

This match shall decide if I made progress today

[edgy orbit]

i feel like i should apologize to everyone in advance expect your rounds against me to be lengthy.

i dont go down easy.

[clever rivet]

ay if you win you tie with me :D

[lethal spruce]

I'm just pissed I couldn't squeeze one more round in.

5 minutes

[edgy orbit]

IM SORRY

[lethal spruce]

I'll never talk to you again

[clever rivet]

if it makes you feel any better

i was a few seconds off

[lethal spruce]

I don't mind losing, but missing a match? Nope.

[clever rivet]

man

i really just played genshin while avoiding my work huh

[lethal spruce]

Lel

Same tho

[edgy orbit]

like I said unless u have a team that can kill quickly I am very stubborn

[lethal spruce]

I have 43 minutes before my stuff is due

[clever rivet]

i got an assignment that takes 2 weeks to finished i have yet to touch it

(lowkey i kinda forgot about it)

[edgy orbit]

GUYS DO UR HW???

[clever rivet]

it was due last thurday but i wasnt there so

man

[lethal spruce]

Since this is the prelims, I'd rather risk a lot more losses and make my matches end faster than spending twice the time

[clever rivet]

itll be finished tonight

[lethal spruce]

It ain't worth it points wise

But anythin past this?

[clever rivet]

yeah thats why i play super fast aggro decks

[lethal spruce]

Imma steal your strategy

[clever rivet]

until i saw the ganyu freeze

[edgy orbit]

I know that but it's what I'm most comfortable with rn so

[eager mesa]

I can dm you my list if you want

[strange peak]

Today I gave free pts for everybody

[lethal spruce]

Freeze is scary

Ryssa

[white cipher]

yes plssss

[lethal spruce]

I fear

[edgy orbit]

I'd rather play with a deck I'm comfy using

[strange peak]

I'll go to the corner and cry in my usual fetal position

[clever rivet]

THIS MAN I FEAR

[lethal spruce]

I joim you and guve free hugs

[clever rivet]

altho i did go 2-0 on him

[edgy orbit]

But I might figure out an aggro deck tonight for tmrw morning

[lethal spruce]

EXACTLY

3-0

[edgy orbit]

Cause I gotta catch up

[lethal spruce]

I lost

[clever rivet]

HAHAHA

[lethal spruce]

Every time

[clever rivet]

oh.

[mystic wharf]

I just lost to them again

[lethal spruce]

[clever rivet]

i won twice

[mystic wharf]

That ganyu hits like a truck

[edgy orbit]

I beat ryssa once actually

[clever rivet]

ganyu go pew pew

[lethal spruce]

I dunno what you're on, but I need it

[edgy orbit]

with sucrose xiangling ganyu

[lethal spruce]

That's good

[clever rivet]

noelle otk

[lethal spruce]

The closest I got was with double anemo

[clever rivet]

wait is that... melt swirl?

[edgy orbit]

But also I think it's funny to be known for one specific deck

[edgy orbit]

si

[clever rivet]

oh lord

i havent seen that one yet

[edgy orbit]

Well if we match I can use it

[clever rivet]

yo ven you gotta show me that later when we battle some day

yea yea >:D

[lethal spruce]

Who used double anemo against me before?

[eager mesa]

if you want to beat freeze I'd suggest a ramp deck

[lethal spruce]

Kero

[lethal spruce]

What's that?

[clever rivet]

like scaling?

[eager mesa]

either something like yoimiya, some monaklee lists, but also ayaka freeze as well

[lethal spruce]

I just play and hope I win

[clever rivet]

afhasdfjasdfh

monaklee

[lethal spruce]

Let's see....I'm bad with klee

Mona is fine

Ayaya is meh

[clever rivet]

i got destroyed by klee earlier

it was embarrassing

[lethal spruce]

And I used to run exclusively yoi cyno Keqing

[eager mesa]

basically decks that try to generate an insane dice advantage on a single turn to force things through
so running paimon + parametric + liben + either/both woven and timmy

[lethal spruce]

I should dust off my ayaya deck

[eager mesa]

the reason they're good vs freeze is that they can bait freezes, drop a bunch of ramp instead of swap stalling

[lethal spruce]

I see...

[shadow tartan]

Thanks for inspiring me kind person

[eager mesa]

and then force freeze + swap stall

[lethal spruce]

[eager mesa]

and then you'll have 8-10 dice when they run out

AYYY LETS GOO

[eager mesa]

and you can usually knockout 2-3 chars with that

[lethal spruce]

[eager mesa]

ramp decks tend to also be XQ decks, with monaklee being the weird exception

[lethal spruce]

Xingqui, ayaya, yoi

[edgy orbit]

Xingqiu the bane of my existence

[lethal spruce]

Get Xingqui burst up first

Then yoi

Then turn to ayaya

Then do normal attacks

[eager mesa]

you can run ayaka as the third in vape yoi

and it won't be terrible

[lethal spruce]

Minty meat rolls.

[willow bison]

phew all the matches I've lost so far have been a 1 HP difference

[eager mesa]

but ayaka generally fights for the same XQ burst yoi does

[lethal spruce]

Wait

[eager mesa]

so you get a lot of tension that you don't if you run chicken instead

it's not strictly wrong per se

[lethal spruce]

So replace yoi with the dendro chicken?

[eager mesa]

but you're running bad ayaka freeze and bad yoi vape that both have the same weakness

[lethal spruce]

Bur cryo and dendo

[eager mesa]

no

replace ayaka with the chicken

[edgy orbit]

I keep seeing ppl using the lotus crisp right b4 they end their round n the opponent can't rlly do anything I just wanted to point that out to the ppl who accidentally miss that

[eager mesa]

if you replace yoi its for chongyun

[lethal spruce]

Ooh, I see

I'm currently testing chongyun Xiangling Kaeya

But I'll test that out too

But first

Sleep

[clever rivet]

kinda late but

how does one become a vision holder?

[brisk bloom]

like half the time, trauma

[edgy orbit]

PFFBT

[edgy orbit]

You have to talk here long enough for the role iiec

Iirc*

[clever rivet]

ahh i see i see

[eager mesa]

but basically every ramp deck starts with this list

[clever rivet]

ok bring me back to middle school

[brisk bloom]

do it yourself, Im not a time machine >.>

[eager mesa]

last 8 cards are usually woven/timmy
resonance, and a few flex slots

[clever rivet]

easiest vision ever

[lethal spruce]

Chatting, commissions.

[lethal spruce]

Chef mao.

Plus healing.

Koko

Mona maybe

[eager mesa]

mao isn't great unless you're on 5 foods + 3 between liyue harbor/NRE

[lethal spruce]

I see

[eager mesa]

and because you also need to fit in talents and timmy/woven you don't really have enough slots for that

[lethal spruce]

Tru

[eager mesa]

realistically you'll only end up with 2-4 flex slots

[lethal spruce]

We don't need as much healing then

Because the goal is to end it in one turn

Instead of drawing it out

[shadow tartan]

Ey guys

Let's sign a petition to ban Xingqiu from all future tournaments

[misty harbor]

And cookie

he’s too good

[fast veldt]

i can agree with bannign xq

[shadow tartan]

How much people would we need for that

[misty harbor]

Probably majority of the player base

like 50-60%?

[shadow tartan]

There's like

65 competitors? I don't know

[clever rivet]

cookie is my homie

you cant do that to him

but

ban xingqiu.

[misty harbor]

He’s my homie too lol I’m just trolling him

[shadow tartan]

Let's say 75%

We'd need 49 competitors

[misty harbor]

We should also ban Barbara

[clever rivet]

AHAHAHA BARBARA

[bold blade]

rip barb

[edgy orbit]

you cant do this to me

[shadow tartan]

I think she's dealable, nah

Oh hey Venti

How's it going?

[misty harbor]

Barbara best girl

[mystic wharf]

don't ban me

[clever rivet]

anyone that basically cleanses huh

[edgy orbit]

its going good i won decent for the night so i will catch up in the morning

[mystic wharf]

I'm not even that good, I'm getting owned by most of the people on the leaderboard XD

[misty harbor]

[bold blade]

imagine being on the leaderboard 🫠

[shadow tartan]

I'm feeling quite bad actually

[edgy orbit]

i miss my leaderboard days

[clever rivet]

its called genshin card game addition

[misty harbor]

oof well you’re doing better than the people who aren’t on there

[shadow tartan]

Today I started at 20 points

Played 13 matches, went up by 3 points

[bold blade]

despite losing really bad to nearly everyone i play, I’m actually learning a lot

[shadow tartan]

Yeah, that's good at least

[mystic wharf]

same

[shadow tartan]

Also most people here fun to hang around

[edgy orbit]

im also learning a lot this has been sm fun :D

[shadow tartan]

I love you guys

[clever rivet]

oof, my goal is around 12 points each day

[clever rivet]

aw, we love you too

ay, if yall ever struggle against thos meta freeze decks

cough* cough* Ryssa

i got yall

[shadow tartan]

Lol

[clever rivet]

maybe

[shadow tartan]

Thanks, that's kind!

I should really go now

[clever rivet]

i have a tactic but i only know it cuz i play other card games

[shadow tartan]

If i hurry I might still get 3 hours of sleep and send a good morning message to my boyfriend

[bold blade]

this is my first tcg game I’ve ever played so I’ll take all the help I can get

oop please get sleep

[clever rivet]

should def sleep

[shadow tartan]

If I'm too late he's gonna slap me in a non-naughty way

I can't have that

[clever rivet]

what decks ur playing atm?

[shadow tartan]

Good night y'all

[mystic wharf]

yeah, you should probably sleep XD

[bold blade]

g’night!

[clever rivet]

good night

rest well

[heady scaffold]

Stay up

[mystic wharf]

goodnight!

[clever rivet]

trueeeee

what is sleep at this point

[heady scaffold]

Sleep is temporary

[clever rivet]

genshin is forever

you can sleep when ur dead

im playing all night

[mystic wharf]

card game grindset

[bold blade]

I’m cycling between XQ, chongyun, ayaka and chicken, yoi, XQ

i need to diversify my decks 😭

[fast veldt]

thats alrdy diverse

[clever rivet]

ahh so its the liyue freeze and the other ramp deck

what kind of playstyle you wanna learn?

[bold blade]

if I knew where to start, I’d have an answer

[clever rivet]

i usually separate them into 3 categories

[fast veldt]

teach some 100% winrate style

[bold blade]

REAL LMAO

[clever rivet]

damn true

[clever rivet]

theres aggro, combo, and control

aggro means obviously aggressive

early kill, early win

combo is setting up your stuff to get big reactions or combo

and control is sustaining until you can do some crazy shit

genshin somewhat follows that rule but i think it still works

[bold blade]

part of the issue i run into is facing different deck set ups (especially the geo and freeze ones)

[mystic wharf]

so my deck would be a control deck?

[clever rivet]

define geo

yeah basically @mystic wharf

you talkin noelle otk? (otk one turn kill)

[mystic wharf]

yee

[bold blade]

yee

[clever rivet]

ah

[eager mesa]

there's aggro (basically nonexistent rn only deck that qualifies is ganyu SC)
ramp/combo (stuff like yoi vape)
control (most of the lucky dog decks but also some ganyu freeze lists)
tempo (dendro quicken is a great example)
board simplification decks (monaklee is a stellar example)
and lastly generic midrange (most ganyu freeze lists)

[clever rivet]

im afraid... thats a skill match up lmao

its pretty hard to beat

i can probably think of something

[mystic wharf]

anything with good cleave damage is pretty good

[clever rivet]

there is a "aggro" deck

[bold blade]

i want to be able to use ganyu more but she kinda costly 😭

[clever rivet]

but i might keep it to myself

[mystic wharf]

I also have a lot of trouble with klee decks and dendro decks

[bold blade]

I’ve had luck with using klee like twice

she normally dies so fast for me :/

[eager mesa]

you need to put some work in for her to burst

it it is quite a good burst

[bold blade]

fsfs

[clever rivet]

heres like a chart on what deck favors against other decks

[bold blade]

o wow

[eager mesa]

that doesnt say that at all

it is just a classification space

[clever rivet]

i would ignore the aggro-control and other sub classes

just the big 3 i couldnt find a simpler chart

aggro -> combo
combo -> control
control -> aggro

but then again

you can still win if you play it right

if its kinda confusing to look at it that way

i would try to understand what their win condition is

@bold blade are you confused lmao

[bold blade]

i think i can work around that but it sucks how if you don’t know the person you’re playing against, you’re just going in blind

i think it makes sense lmao

i have negative experience with tcgs so I’m trying to absorb all of this lol

[clever rivet]

idk maybe its kinda extra to bring up the chart lmao

[bold blade]

all good lol

ngl I used to use diluc, chongyun, and keqing which worked pretty well when the game first came out but not as much anymore

[clever rivet]

but yeah you can separate different decks into different categories to make it easier to see how it works

oh yeah and theres also like

all-rounders

kinda like jack of all trades

[strange peak]

Please rate my decks

[clever rivet]

lol i need to see the cards too

[mystic wharf]

quicken chicken XD

[strange peak]

Just the usual I guess

[clever rivet]

well, i think most cards on your deck define the playstyle so im not exactly sure how to rate it lmao

[clever rivet]

oh play liyue freeze

[bold blade]

i can use all the practice i can get so throw anything u got at me

[clever rivet]

its easy to play

counters everything

oh wait did you say you played liyue freeze?

[bold blade]

yee

[clever rivet]

oh shet

[bold blade]

worked well once again otk Noelle but god she still scares me lol

[clever rivet]

ill show you my freeze hold up

[bold blade]

it’s a pain to naw through the shields

[clever rivet]

i cant believe im getting back on genshin when im supposed to be working lmao

[bold blade]

me watching the last of us rn when i could be knocking out hw that’s due by the end of the week 🤡

[neat parrot]

wait do we know if Knockout is gonna be 2 deck conquest?

[mystic wharf]

what's that?

[neat parrot]

It's Bo3 format where you have to bring 2 different decks. Once you win with 1 deck, you have use the other deck for the rest of the match.

on the GITCG discord, they also included the rule where the 2 decks must have 6 unique characters. So if you use Xingqiu on one deck, you cannot use xingqiu on the other.

[mystic wharf]

Ah, that would mean I can't one-trick

[neat parrot]

But the tl;dr is that you basically have to win w/ 2 different decks to win any match

[mystic wharf]

I guess I should get some more characters, I don't have that many unlocked

[clever rivet]

imagine using xingqiu

i think im set at this point then

i already got my two decks

all unique chars

[eager mesa]

4 hour grind time

Go

[faint flare]

so dead here

or is everyone just silently playing

[twilit steppe]

Yeah the first time I tried queuing I didn't even match with anyone😭☹️

[fast veldt]

Inb4 u played against everyone

[edgy orbit]

god damnit i pressed dismiss on accident

[brisk bloom]

It’s alright, Im sure you’ll find a match within the hour

[faint flare]

did you press dismiss on accident again lol

[edgy orbit]

no it just took that long for me to find a match </3

[faint flare]

o_o

i just matched with you

why is paimon so sussy

[twilit steppe]

Well yeah I did find some thankfully haha..

[twilit steppe]

I think I haven't played with multiple people haha..

[strange peak]

Close match @twilit steppe

[twilit steppe]

Yeah haha.. GG

[strange peak]

I'm still shaking

[lucid sable]

[crystal sparrow]

better than me tho D:

[lucid sable]

( o-o) good luckkkk

[fast veldt]

i'm sorry for all the queue i dodged im not getting pinged for some reason

[twilit steppe]

You dodged me like 3 times haha.. also yeah I'm having the same problem that's why I often stare at the preliminary channel a lot😭☹️

[fast veldt]

im sorry 😭 i turned notifs on but it still didnt work so im staring at it now too

[twilit steppe]

Oh you don't have to be sorry haha... the notifs are indeed weird sometimes..

[strange peak]

Why does my matches always come to a close end? For either sides...

It's bad for my heart

[brisk bloom]

So you go into cardiac arrest and forcibly stop competing, it’s a tactical decision

[strange peak]

Fair enough

[edgy orbit]

broo why do i always get the worst rng

[lethal spruce]

I'm baaaackkk

From skool

Time to play

[misty harbor]

Go back

[lethal spruce]

They won't let me in

It's trespassing if I do

[edgy orbit]

never letting ppl take silk flowers from my world b4 a match again. damn hutao mains /lh

[undone cypress]

the overheal got me scared at first, but my hand had good cards

[edgy orbit]

oh my god i just realized the abyss resets tomorrow

[undone cypress]

gg

[edgy orbit]

[lethal spruce]

Imagine not having 1k+ silk flowers already

[edgy orbit]

[lethal spruce]

Yeh

[edgy orbit]

[edgy orbit]

my bf got alhaitham trying to get yaoyao and hes just stuck at level 1

[bold blade]

rip

[faint flare]

didnt lantern rite give a free yaoyao?

[fast veldt]

Its his fault pulling for 4*

[edgy orbit]

yea but he wanted yaoyao cons

[faint flare]

o

[bold blade]

that’s me with cyno and his signature weapon like i wasn’t even trying and did it for funsies and now he’s benched 🤡

[edgy orbit]

hes been waiting for yaoyao for a looong time

[fast veldt]

It took me c2 al for c6 yaoyao

[edgy orbit]

i was the same w/ collei so i have c1 tighnari

[fast veldt]

C5 zl instead

[faint flare]

there were like two free colleis

[edgy orbit]

I DIDNT WANT ZHONGLI

[bold blade]

i lost my 50/50 on zl banner :(

[faint flare]

one from event one from abyss

[twilit steppe]

Yeah that is risky... I got Kazuha before I got Heizou, I got Childe before I get Rosaria etc😭☹️

[edgy orbit]

i wanted c6 collei n shes stuck at c4

[fast veldt]

I got hutao cuz i wanted thoma

[undone cypress]

I'm waiting for a second candace banner so I can C6 her, but mihoyo doesnt do it

[fast veldt]

Was her first cyno?

[edgy orbit]

im sooooo pissed albedo is getting a rerun next update like where is SHENHE

[bold blade]

i want hu tao but also I’m dry outta primos

[faint flare]

[fast veldt]

Ah ic

[faint flare]

o wait is this confirmed?

[fast veldt]

I have c0 cuz i pulled on cyno ig

[edgy orbit]

it probably is

[fast veldt]

No but livestream has albedo

[edgy orbit]

i just fucked up in game ok i need to focus

[fast veldt]

Prob eula rerun too cuz winter events stuff

[edgy orbit]

it was a toss up between albedo shenhe n someone else

[fast veldt]

Eula hasnt rerun for a year too iirc

[faint flare]

i think venti was also one of the speculated reruns for 3.5

[edgy orbit]

yea eula was guarenteed for a rerun

[bold blade]

sadly cannot put my input on this bc NDA reasons 💀

[faint flare]

oop

[fast veldt]

Trust me its al rerun next patch

[edgy orbit]

another thing that makes me >:( is that mika is literally eula support

like i have to build him. i did not rlly want to build him

but my dream is c6 eula so

[faint flare]

hoyo has been making dedicated element supports

[bold blade]

me pulling 2 pjws and saying fuck it dps yaoyao it is ig

[faint flare]

phys es due for one too XD

i need a pjws for xiao ;-;

[bold blade]

manifesting

i have 3 take one from me

[faint flare]

hopefully i can get it on standard someday

[bold blade]

trade offer

[fast veldt]

I gave a pjws to zl and another to cyno

[faint flare]

ooo

[fast veldt]

No xiao cuz i didnt want him

[faint flare]

i only have spine and wgs to trade

[edgy orbit]

i got c1 xiao so i can stop. thats his best con. no need to go further

[faint flare]

what do you mean, its obviously c4

[edgy orbit]

STOPP 😭

when the defense buff

[bold blade]

meanwhile i got C2 because he decided to come home at like 8 pity

[fast veldt]

Def scaling xiao

[bold blade]

hajdsj

[fast veldt]

Slap on husk

[faint flare]

i need xiao and albedo to switch c4

[fast veldt]

Someone memed a 2.4k def build iirc

[faint flare]

then itd be perfect

[edgy orbit]

my bf made healer childe as a joke with the stupid bow that heals you when you use it

[bold blade]

me with anemo childe

[faint flare]

oo recurve

[bold blade]

the urge to build EM kazoo but also hoyoverse refuses to give me em artifacts and freedom sworn 😤

[edgy orbit]

just do iron sting

its his bis for f2p

[bold blade]

I’m taking the critzuha route cuz i got jade cutter on him

[edgy orbit]

ahh

[bold blade]

but at this point he might as well be hybrid cuz i got him C2 which give em boosts during his burst

[edgy orbit]

this game is rlly starting to test my patience with my rng today.

[rich wasp]

:(

[edgy orbit]

WHY ARE YOU SAD IT WAS A GOOD MATCH

I JUST KEPT GETTING HORRIBLE DICE ROLLS THE ENTIRE GAME

not to mention i accidentally used the lotus crisp round 1 without thinking abt it

[rich wasp]

yeah was wondering why it wasnt used on mona

[edgy orbit]

i thought i could switch and

i forgot that i didnt have enough die.

[strange peak]

Dice hates of all

[lethal spruce]

I felt that

[indigo onyx]

Pyrrah!

[lethal spruce]

I'm too stubborn to use anything other than double element teams

[indigo onyx]

Thats why i love the paimon cards, and library

[lethal spruce]

Bc the boost you can get from doing so is usually really good, like the cryo, pyro, and electro ones.

[undone cypress]

why am I stuck into the match loading screen kek

[indigo onyx]

I use tri

[lethal spruce]

Uh kick me out?

[indigo onyx]

Mona benny and ganyu

[edgy orbit]

i removed the library card bc i figured i could just use the jade chamber or whatever

its worked but also hasnt

[lethal spruce]

My genshin looks like this rn

[edgy orbit]

i

WHAT DID YOU DO

[strange peak]

If I could only draw them when I need them most

[undone cypress]

good lord

[indigo onyx]

Ummmm

[lethal spruce]

I DONT KNOW

[undone cypress]

I managed to get back into the world but cant kick you out

[lethal spruce]

I'm blaming on you

[undone cypress]

oh, you left, nvm

[lethal spruce]

Okay it loaded

[edgy orbit]

this is faceless ayato all over again

[indigo onyx]

I once got 2 of the 3 omni dice paimon at the start

[lethal spruce]

[indigo onyx]

For me the first round is always set up

[lethal spruce]

Also hi dwagoon

[indigo onyx]

dwagoon?

[lethal spruce]

Yup. My first order of business is getting the burst charged and ready to use

[strange peak]

Lucky you can draw them at start... I rarely see them through most of my matches

[lethal spruce]

My double anemo one is a mostly experimental deck

[white cipher]

ay yooo?

[lethal spruce]

Yes.

[indigo onyx]

I should test out a stall deck

[rich wasp]

:( why dodge

[lethal spruce]

....

[edgy orbit]

ur breaking their heart blackpink

[white cipher]

damn i was about to press confim too 😦

[lethal spruce]

Rejection

[indigo onyx]

I will make the most infuriating stall deck ever, it wont be hard with the small amount of cards

[lethal spruce]

Double hydro plus barbs

[indigo onyx]

?

[edgy orbit]

i think i already take the cake on that dragoon

[lethal spruce]

Jean

Tons of food

Aquila

Cathedral

[indigo onyx]

Not hard

Very little cards

[white cipher]

i was about press confirm and its said too late sorry 😦

[edgy orbit]

kokomi why do u always fail me when i need u most ...

[indigo onyx]

The mods themselves said no deck restrictions

[rich wasp]

oh hi again xd

[edgy orbit]

yea but you shouldnt make it specifically for trolling

[lethal spruce]

Wait

Nvm

[brisk bloom]

Im sorry Pyrrah I didnt see the queue in time ;-;

[lethal spruce]

Rejected

Pain

[brisk bloom]

Im sorry it was an accident :(

[lethal spruce]

Just like irl

[brisk bloom]

I was on another tab :((
