An Ode to: Archmage

I don't normally post too much, concerning Battle Reports, but the absolute Genius of this team- set up by the Archamge bot, just struck me as TOO GOOD!

You'll notice that this is an 'Earthquake' ruleset Battle.
While both teams 'feature' 3 Flyers- including Pelacor Mercenaries as tanks- the KEY to this Battle is that Archmage recognized this and included two (2) minions with Snare! Talk about meta!

Also, using the L3 Quix- Brilliant!
The -1S/-1R hit the opposing team, hard. Negating the Supply Runner and reducing Attack on 3 of their minions- so good (too good?)

As predicted- the Headhunter hit early- dropping the PelMercs armor (and causing some damage- Piercing) and removing Flying.
Going last- the Sand Worm (auto) hit that Peryton in the back- nearly killing it and ALSO removing Flying.
Then, at the end of Round 1- Earthquake hits both their PelMerc AND the Peryton.

And let's not ignore the POWER of both the Carnage Titan and Chaos Dragon.
Reach, Double-Strike, and Shield- the Titan unleashed some PAIN on the other team, while the Chaos Dragon:
Scattershot, Blast!
He dropped some BOMBS in the back line, allowing the rest of the team to make short work of the opposing line-up.

The Battle didn't make it to the end of Round 3- the Sand Worm finished off the last member of opposing team (GargDevil) before it could get hit by Earthquake.

Also, of some interest is the reason I was checking this Battle out- in the first place:
In G1/Modern I was Earning 0.4 SPS/win.
In this Battle (D3/Modern) I won 0.418 SPS

Another, minor detail: they were fielding a L8 Obsidian as opposed to by L3 Quix- allowing them to field their L10 PelMerc, Psychic, and Supply Runner.
