I think a replacement challenge for Brady and SW it's a good option, since it can let them express themselves at their best, while the benching one is too weird to find out a winner.
About my challenge, i'm really happy i did it.
I want to give all my congratulations to PidgeottoTrainer and RainbowGym because they made amazing decks during the whole tournament, and i have followed them since the 1st round. They are two of the best deckbuilders i have ever seen and i'm very happy i could arrive at this point discussing and playing with them. Now i'll face another good one (Pooka) and i hope we can get an awesome challenge!
I didn't like the way our discussion ended, with Gatsu saying Europeans and Americans will not change their mind and will keep defending themselves without changing their mind.
I just think at some points our discussion went over the rational limit, but i hope the reason someone supported mine and Ross's ideas it was not about "nationality", but it was because each person find himself "near" to someone ideas.
I didn't talk with RainbowGym until decks were showed, and we discover we tried to build a deck based on the same concepts, even if the result at the end was different. We didn't declare each other winner of the game, but we both try to explain our ideas as we were pretty near the same concept.
I defended my deck because i still think it's not very good, but it's as good to be considered little better than what my opponent used.
I'm supposed to meet Pooka in the next round...if i find my opponent plays i deck which i think it's better than mine, i wouldn't have problem in giving him the win without thinking too much.
Thanks again to Ross (which wrote down interesting comments as always) and all the other who posted on our discussion.
I just hope that if there were contrasts, they had finished with the game and we can move on without anger!!!
