PIZZA 2 Brawl Report - 14 Oct 2024

Greetings to all, Brawl had just ended just recently approximately 1 day ago and I will be sharing all the matches that I've engaged in for this brawl. With the newest way wins are calculated, participation by guild members is a key now to help win 50% of the brawl, by filling, half the battle is done rather than giving away free wins to opponents. So every match and participation counts and we need more people joining us and fill up those empty frays! And with fewer players playing brawl, it is going to be tougher moving forward to do get higher placing in brawls. We will need more fill up in brawl.

Since the start of Rebellion introduction, I have now changed my Brawl Fray to Fray 4 for my guild which is the fray that uses only Chaos Legion and Rebellion Card. This is good for me because now that I play in modern, competing brawl in this format will be just like playing a normal rank battle. By participating in this fray, I get exposed to more rulesets to refine my playing in daily rank matches. I've been battling and trying to accumulate Glint so that I can more Rebellion Soul Bound cards into my collection which should come in handy for the matches. Let's start the battles!

Brawl 1

	Remarks
Selection:	Blood and Sunder and Noxious Fumes. Mana not exactly high so I had to think how should I plant my team. I used Oshannus and tank with Marksrat planned with poison detonate and a River Nymph to cleanse up the poison for Oshannus to tide us through and overcome things.
Outcome:	Win! Opponent gave up and used a single card hoping that the high health the card has is able to overcome the poison.

Brawl 2

	Remarks
Selection:	Close Range and Shade of Gray. For this, I loaded up all my best Neutral cards include Drybone Raider whom always do well for such matches. Had Ulundin to take the front while Arkemis can strike from the back. Follow them are all the attackers that naturally will punish opponent lineup.
Outcome:	Win! Thankfully I have a much bigger pool of Neutral cards to choose from as compared to my opponent which allowed me to quickly put the game in my favour.

Brawl 3

	Remarks
Selection:	Aim True, Wands Out and Noxious Fumes. Another Noxious Fumes match but I do not really have cleanse cards for magic on non water which brings me trouble. I just put up Captain Katie support by Sola Ranjell, hopefully I can sustain.
Outcome:	Lose. Void Dragon is a tough nut to face especially in a magic matchup as the void will just make your attacks less effective. A good play by my opponent.

Brawl 4
Link : https://next.splinterlands.com/battle/sm_FFIh8CjWCDA6aqozTNbU

	Remarks
Selection:	Up Close and Personal, Up to Eleven, Melee Mayhem. This is essentially a slug fest, so I included 2 cards that has dual attacks and 2 cards that have double strike. Both of which is to maximize the effect from the ruleset. Let's see if what I have is able to take out my opponent.
Outcome:	Lose. While I planned so much I finally lost the fact that opponent loaded up his lineup with tonnes of melee reduction and the demoralize which essentially make my attacks close to useless. The thorns with Up to Eleven made it hurt even more and end up I lost the match.

Brawl 5

	Remarks
Selection:	Fog of War, Odd Ones Out and Manoeuvres. Very low mana and hard to put up a good one. I took a gamble and call upon Halfling Refugee and supported it with Relenor Cleaver hoping that Relenor can do some crazy work from 2nd position.
Outcome:	Win! Halfling Refugee is really awesome. Nowadays I like how it is able to sustain long enough for backline to do their work before it falls.

Guild Final Tally

I am assigned 6 matches this brawl and managed to win all 4 out of 6 of them (no fleeing opponent). There is also an additional 2 wins due to lack of participation from other guilds. For the 2 loss, I was outsmarted and beaten by my opponent strategies. Something for me to reflect as I review the battle further.

The guild ended at position 5 which is the same position as previous. With a lacking of active participants to fill the fray, things are really going to be tough as we will have difficulty clocking more win. As predicted we landed in the 4-6 range once again. This is round we are quite far away in terms of wins from climbing into top 3. To be part of the top 3, we really need more people taking part and filling up the frays. We really need more frays to be filled else we will just be giving away free wins to others when our true capability is not seen. Let's continue to do our thing and get the best out of what we have. Go PIZZA 2!

Closing
We really need more active brawl players who can help us fill up multiple frays, if you have a shiny collection and able to commit to the brawls, we ask for you to join us and win brawls together as a guild. We are getting better in our participation already and getting better brawl rewards. Do check us out in the PIZZA discord and check with the guild officers to gain entry to the guild.

See you at the next brawl report!
