Please be sure to keep in mind that almost every match of gems is a mana surge for my team and if you also keep mind in fully traited…ouch. Death comes swiftly to all! There is also the board manipulation and sheer damage output. Feel free to run Team Wtf in game, once you get the hang of it you will rejoice! ---

Please be sure to keep in mind that my team has 2 troops who deal true damage, while the opponent has 2 troops that add armor… totally useless! Also his Knight Coronet’s stoneskin is of little value, since my team is heavy on spell damage. ---

Knight Coronet and Druid will dispatch Goblin and Keeper of Souls right off the bat and can mop up the rest shortly after. Templar help ensure Crimson Bat remains mana starved and lance Knight gets to sit around looking pretty. Shadow dragon dps is a mere “shadow” of the damage output by Knight Coronet and Druid. My entire team is full mana round two at the latest and my opponents 1st and 4th slots are empty by round three at the latest, more often then not both are empty round two. ---

You keep forgetting true damage. My damage output is actually much higher than yours if you consider the fact that Crimson Bat hits all enemies for true damage. Your Knight Coronet will go down with two casts from either Crimson Bat or Shadow Dragon. This will seriously hurt your damage output, since you only have 2 damage dealers and I have 4. In contrast, your Druid will need 4 casts to kill my Bat, if he was even able to target him consistently (which he can’t), while Coronet is stuck hitting the Goblin (which was put there for that very reason). if you happen to kill the goblin, then Crimson Bat starts dealing double skull damage. ---

I think the squirrel will crack this nut. 😉 The first team has no synergy and a high mana cost except for the Goblin. ---

51 votes and the result is 50:50? Wtf? That’s not possible.And by this I ment that 51 votes cant result in 50:50, it could be 49:51 or 51:49, but odd numbers can’t result in 50:50. ---

Because of how the poll calculates percentages, the top choice is always rounded up and the bottom choice is always rounded down. So a 2-1 vote poll would show 67%-33% while 1-2 vote poll would show 34%-66%. So what that means is if you did the math, it’s 49.x% (rounds up to 50%)-50.x% (rounds down to 50%). Or in other words, @Grimmorith is leading by 1 vote at the moment. Edit: And the moment passed as @yonizaf landed the next 3 in row to be back up by 2. In any event, the reason for why it did look like that is still true. ---
