I thought it might be helpful, from a balance perspective, to examine some of the common matchups that come up in Jackpot. Since there are a lot of people playing Sandalphon and a lot of people playing Dhamiria, Dhamiria vs Sandalphon comes up quite often. So to start off the discussion I thought it would be helpful for people to see a video of me playing Dhamiria against a 1501 ranked Sandalphon opponent:

I think this match is fairly representative of how a typical Dhamiria V Sandalphon match will play out and while I feel my opponent made some significant mistakes had he not made them the outcome would have been the same. What do you think of this matchup? Who do you think will win more often than not when the optimal Sandalphon deck is matched up against the optimal Dhamiria one?
