not an ideal start but at least I got something that costs 1, and have grappling hook in my next hand. as far as his deck, he’s got the mono vandy option and the mirrored omega, but without a strong vandy play his early game seems minimal without any really solid t1 mimions. KotC and dark pact?

"

FYI- I will be leaving town for the rest of the week tomorrow, returning Sunday. I should be able to continue playing but probably won’t be quite as active as usual. If we can get in a few good rounds today and tomorrow morning I think we’ll be in fine shape.

I don’t think you’ll need that much time, or effort, to crush me. Nonetheless, I’ll do my best to put up a fight. :wink:

was trying to decide between grapple kill and level up or smoker. I like the smoker as I already have safe attacking, and grave is still safe at level 1 patrolling. was either going tax collector or scribe, but after being imped I’m going scribe

Get to it, Grave. Don’t keep me on the edge of my seat.

Not sure what to expect. Reversal? Rush to crashbarrows? I thought he would want to attack with Grave, so trying to avoid giving him anything to spark, so he’s have to use the hook for that.

The twins are a strong tempo play. If I had both deteriorate and stw together I could double use the imp to get rid of both twins. As it stands, I’m behind on board state and suffering from the fact I didn’t play Vandy earlier. He can easily wipe my patrol zone but the question is, can he get past it to Vandy. I hope he can’t. I’m going down a card to keep up with the board which is fine because of imp and dark pact but given safe attacking, hook and grave I don’t want him to attack

really wanted to go t2 this turn, but clearing his board and keeping both rambasas alive is pretty huge. looks like I got lucky on not drawing an agent yet.

This is extremely bad for me. Given my thoughts last turn, you should think I’m crazy to have played Vandy. What advantage did that give me? a tough turn of events. I have been outplayed but I shall not despair. Decided to try and go for Tech 2, if I can keep the tech 2 building alive one turn than I can maybe start getting back into it by replaying Vandy, making some dark pacts and praying for a miracle. If he drew Grappling Hook, he’ll be able to sparkshot and clear my patrol with one attack and go after my hero or my tech 2/base. given stuff like Sensi’s advice, it would be enough to destroy a heros’ hall but hopefully not my tech 2. Clearly, he’ll get that grappling hook. I can smell it.

You had 3 cards, dark pact to 4 cards, play imp and a worker, down to 2 cards. How do you discard 3?

Oops. somehow Graveyard appeared twice. You’re right. I do have one less card.

@EricF can you please check that we’re straight on the last few turns?

holy should have only 3 cards in discard (Dark Pact + 2 cards discarded at end of turn), but otherwise everything looks correct (Penatronic just needs to switch the order to Grave suicides -> Summon Drakk -> Rambassa kills Vir)

Yes, there’s an error there - the imp is not in discard because it’s in play… I’ll fix that.
