I am scared of that doom grasp. Do I snapback and grappling hook or sword rune to prevent it? I want to draw 4 next turn though, so probably the former… But then what if he plays a big scary tech II thing? whatevs, reversals and IP ninjas to block. OK, I will be interested to come back later and see if he ever tech’d doom grasp. I guess the other option is just not worrying about it as doom grasp is expensive and I can get ahead next turn by maybe playing a bigger thing than him… But I am quite set up for the TPoS. OK going for it.

Heheheh big hit to the base - but yes, I should probably have played around the dozer more than the doom grasp, or at least built a hero’s hall last turn for some more defense.

We’re coming to the end. Too much pressure to max Grave again ever! If I could survive 10 turns his building would kill him for me… but nah. I’ll give it one more turn for inspiration to strike and then GG.

@James GG! Yea i didnt see that coming, caught me by surprise. I think it would be really hard to execute two of them. Feel free to take some break from me but i will be down to play some multi color matches(doesnt have to be) whenever you feel like. Just in preparation for matches with other experienced players in this forum. I didnt feel quite ready yet but I want to join the next tournament, how about you?
Yeah, I think the surprise factor is its strength - but it feels like you need to be really ahead or use it as a finisher for it to be worth it. I would be really interested to see a game where it worked! I am also keen to play in the next tournament, whenever it is! Do you have any idea? I think it would be a good idea to get some experience with a couple of other players first as well so I think I’ll post on the looking for game thread, but also keen for a multicolour match some time soon!
@James I have no idea but sounds like it’s quarterly so hopefully end of March or early April? Absolutely, I had a couple multicolor matches and it was fun! Just don’t forget to pay (2) when you Tech I, I made that mistake first time. I was so used to playing mono games with you haha. Come back to me anytime, classmate!
@James Welcome back! I don’t know if you are up to speed but there is a poll going on for next tourny and seems likes it will be the balance change. So, people are trying out these changes and they might not be interested in normal games for awhile. Just saying you can come back here if there is no takers.
