    Your encounter:

    After waking up with the third straight yesterday, today is yesterday once more. You're beginning to think this stupid duck, though it's the last thing you remember every time, has very little to do with what's happening to you. Yet again though, you examine what's right before your eyes today, so that you can have a better chance at waking up tomorrow with a new day.

    @SMPrague - I have three cards in this Deadline (see above) and they will randomly battle three of @cadstar369's cards that were created for this Deadline. All the surviving cards will advance to Round 2 - Tomorrow

    Some people will end up eliminating one of their own cards this round ( see @cadstar369, @LeBateauIvre @RudyTheDuck and @Jadefire.), which means one of their stronger cards is guaranteed a spot tomorrow.

    Today we go from 32 cards to 16, Tomorrow we go from 16 to 8 and from 8 to 4, On Monday 4 will reveal the final two who will face off for Deadline Supremacy!
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    Either that or some random chaos will ensue!

    Beautifully explained! Sorry I haven't been giving updates on here. For those who would like updates, you can track the matches LIVE here: https://challonge.com/dpm926uc

    I've had some massive connection issues today, so updating more than one place was insanely silly.
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    POOOOOOOooooooooorrrrrrrrgggggggg! You were robbed!

  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    @SMPrague - I'm not involved in this judging, as I am a combatant, but traditionally this comes down to a card vs. card and resolved on judging criteria, which typically involves, balance, playability, flavor (flavor text not required, more flavor of synergy between name, colors, effects and art plays a bit in this area) and then if there is a tie the minutiae of the card comes into play... spelling, format things like that.

    Sorry you got eliminated early @SMPrague. Luckily for us still in this thing, @cadstar369 keeps eliminating his own cards! By the end we hope he goes into the semi's with just one card!

    And it looks like he has!

    Final 4 is @cadstar369 vs. @Corwinnn AND @Jadefire vs @LeBateauIvre
  • cadstar369cadstar369
    @Corwinnn it appears I have suffered from the Conservation of Ninjutsu; even though I started with the most entries and had cards in 7 of the 8 quarterfinal matches, I was doomed to only have one make it into the final 4 (and will likely not make it to the finals). :D
  • jpastorjpastor
    I know I havent chipped in much on convos this weekend, but I just want to say, this has been super fun. I cant wait to do this again with a tweak! You all rock. Congrats to the top 4, honestly the best of the best made it. @SMPrague dont get me wrong, I actually really like your cards. I just judged them like a maniac the first round. You're on a one way road to full domination of all my contests and others.

    Looking forward to the semifinals and championship tomorrow as well as prize reveals afterwards!
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    I am not working tomorrow (my first "vacation" day in over 620 days) so I will try to be awake to see it!
