Can we please curb the negativity? What's with people griping that only players who spend gold on the tournament (or battle arena in general) can win or that the whole thing is rigged to grab your money?
That's sour grapes talking. I didn't spend a single bit of gold in this entire tournament, which for me was not nearly as brutal as my Yin Yang experience.
Some players had easier Yin Yang trials, especially if they were in Test #3, but I had to spend some gold on Test #2. 30 gold to beat Helios in round 29, plus at least another 20 to speed the gates between rounds. They had just changed the scoring grid and reduced the overall odds on July 3. I was on a holiday trip with spotty internet and the 4-day timeframe wasn't enough for me. Even so, that's a relatively small amount of gold spent to ensure that Yin Yang did not slip away.
Phoenix tournament had its rough patches for me. (I fought some rounds up to 7 times.) But I didn't feel the need to speed gates or do Ultimate attacks with such a generous amount of time. Also, my army is bigger and more mature now than it was more than a month ago, and I purposely raised many dragons in preparation for what we had hoped would be the return of the Ethereal Tournament. Since they kept the same line-up of challengers, I already had a well thought out battle plan with a list of excellent to decent champions for each round. I think that had a lot to do with my success in this one.
I think it's fair to say that most of us don't quite know how battling works on the other side of the curtain. And that's okay, because the randomness factor can favor even the most ill-equipped or clueless player sometimes.
Enough with the downers, please. However people win, they have a right to celebrate it without gripers looking to invalidate their victory. If you're having a rough time, you'll find a lot of sympathy and help here on this thread, and it's easier to get it if you're at least positive or hopeful.

LOL. Super rares and extinct dragons are the backbone of a champion army. Since I'm missing so many dragon types, I have space on my island to let duplicates hang around, so you'll see habitats with 3 Cupids, 3 Roses, 3 Cosmics, 3 Saturns, 3 Independence, 3 Lotus and a bunch of other duplicates. Even 3 Leviathans, with a 4th on nest display because, hey, I do LOVE that arena!
Has anyone defeated Night Elf with Pegasus?
