[CAMS18] Nekoatl [Demon]/Strength/Growth vs charnel_mouse [Balance/Growth]/Strength

@Nekoatl Happy to correct that turn and go again from there if you like, while we wait for the next round :slight_smile:

In this situation, the error was accepted by Nekoatl, and rolling back reveals a great deal of information about your opponents game plan. You can roll back for fun, but usually we just accept the game results as is. @FrozenStorm have an opinion here?

I’m not sure what Language EricF wrote up for this sort of occasion (I would defer to it), but my general rule of thumb on asking to roll back is before the player who made the error has taken another turn. (So Neko would have need to have found the issue or asked for it to be fixed before Charnals turn 8 post). If you don’t catch it before your next turn has been replied to, enough has been revealed that you kinda gotta play on. Otherwise, an opponent making an error could be taken advantage of to gain undue information.

I am really bad at remembering Fairie Dragon’s caveats, but still I’m kinda embarrassed I commented on how back and forth things were right as that error happened and I missed it :frowning:

I think for fun it’s totally cool to run it back, but the show has to go on tournament wise. Luckily this isn’t elimination yet, so there’s plenty of time to make up for it!

Sounds good. I don’t care much about the tournament record, but I am curious how the game would play out without the error.

I’d been hoping for YT to give me a Basilisk to get rid of the Soul Stone, but no such luck.
The Graveyard is still up, but I reckon that’s better than leaving the Tech Lab standing, given my chance of drawing an instant debuff is low, and my big offensive options are low after sacrificing the Mimic.

Eric F wordings would be one of the two either here:

which would suggest going back, but he then later says

which is what happened (the error occured P2T7, and was pointed out after P1T9). So to me it would suggest carrying on is best.

I would also point out that this may apply if someone makes repeated mistakes to try and gain an advantage.

No way I can kill Argagarg and the Tech Lab/Graveyard, and defend against what’s left, so I’ll have to walk Rook past him, and let the opposing birds revive next turn.

Fairie Dragon is only a 4/2

Bottom-decking my Mimics is not great, and I’m really low on hand size now. Only Arg and birds are on the attack this turn, at least, and there’s no longer a Tech III to get Oathkeeper out to sideline everything, so at worst Argagarg buffs both the birds to take out my Tech II. Long-term, I think I’ve blown this by going for the Tech Lab too many times at the expense of board control.

… Yep, all Tech II units in hand, so this turn could be painful.

You killed a 3/5 Grappler with a 4/6 Rook and a 0/1 Wisp?

I midbanded Midori, so the Wisp was 1/2.
