Do we get deck lists!?
I think weāll get the remaining Decklists after the semi-finals and finals. Great to see these decks prompting lots of discussion on dtdb so far.
I asked Jayjester to remove my list from his post since Iām still in the process of the semi finals, but he should have all the lists, and assuming everyone is ok with it he can publish those when the league is over.
We currently have both semi-finals matches with a US vs EU player, so adding in the holidays its been slow going to find times to play
Hopefully the holiday slowdown means folksāll be inclined to include with their decklists a description of their matchups!
Iām slightly disappointed that there are only 3 entries in the creative decklist contest. Iām sure @Zeetooisā deck qualifies and there must have been others. Most of my games I was playing my Stone/Blessed deck trying to get a win and either just falling short after wonderfully close games or hitting perfect counters to my plan and losing quickly. As such I didnāt get round to playing some of my weirder ideas.
I completely failed there. I had some unique, wacky ideas and just got lost in the new miracles and totally missed out on getting those creative decks goingā¦
And in perfect suspenseful accord, we each grab a game, ending 1-1. Final match will likely be Thursday evening US time!

Prodigy win vs. Shekky_Ducky
The final games played between Prodigy and Shekky Ducky where not timed.
Things of particular note. Shekky_Ducky played bold, constantly daring Prodigy to commit against jobs that would seem easy to win, but Prodigy knew to pick his battle very carefully. Shekky_Ducky was also very purposeful with managing where his dudes were, and what cards he had in hand, especially while John āAcesā was in play. Prodigy proved how effective casualty reduction can be with a strong draw structure. When Prodigy lost, he almost never had to remove dudes from play, when he won or tied, his opponents would get whittled down. Prodigy also made some great use of counter play against jobs. Sometimes a dude would move out of town, or finish a job and be home alone, and that is when Prodigy would play Bounty hunter, Kidnappinā, or Judge Harry xp1. Shekky also is very good at playing around and preventing opponents using their best combo. For instence, I spotted him several times making sure Point Blank would not be able to work. Though he couldnāt prevent every time, it made for a very pleasing struggle to watch. My lesson from the game, is that Straight Flush decks with powerful hand rank modifier actions can put strong pressure, but if there are no cheating resolutions left, 5 of a kinds will win out the day.

Nice write up!
Thank you for pointing that out, the deck link is fixed now.
Thanks to Jayjester for helping in the top 8 (next league I will be extricating myself from the top 8 if I get in, to stay as T.O. and get some fresh blood in there), and thanks to everyone who participated in the league!
This one went longer than normal due to holidays, and schedules across the ocean not lining up, but Iām glad we were able to play it out. I will figure out the prizes (I ordered the kit so long ago!) and will post back here with the details.
Thanks for collecting the decklists and organising the event guys. Should have quite an influence on the story outcome.
Hope a few more of these get upgraded from just being link to being officially published on dtdb so more of the community can see them.
Iāll look forward to watching the videos, should get to these soonish.
PRIZES!
Sorry for the delay on this. Top 8 prizes (not as many this time) are assigned, but each Top 8 who didnāt get a prize (and those who did) will get a copy of the alt art Inner Struggle. Chances are not everyone will want them, so Iām guessing everyone who wants prizes will get one.
Everyone gets alt arts of:
Mugging
Henry Moran
All 4 Servitors
(and very likely a copy of Inner Struggle)
Please private message me with your address, and prepare to send me a few bucks for shipping (even overseas is very cheap).
