patrolling with Grave was definitely a mistake… reversal, his attack power and his sword would be great resources to have available this turn

guess it’s two adepts and hoping for the best?

hm… tech 3 again on my first draw after reshuffle. well, probably it was a bad decision anyway. he’d probably blow away that statue quite quickly(?)

Lemme just double-check this math. 2 for Battle Suits, TD brings it to 4, the replayed Hyperion is 5. Looks good! I TD the Hyperion into a Hyperion, Battle Suits up, Hyperion and Nullcraft kill squad lead, both Argos break Techs 1 and 2, and Geiger kills Bigby. Looks good!

@hardy83’s turn!

GG! Started to get pretty worried about your plans when you went full on for my base! interested in another?

45

Sure, but I’ll switch to mono black if you’re OK with that. Let’s see if I stand a chance against you with a deck that was banned for tournament use… :slight_smile:

P1 to you! Gl & hf

Looks like plasmo into Mox for me, that beats StW handily. I’ll have to keep Origin Story to keep Max Vandy away

it wasn’t banned, it happened only in special formats;)

Although it is technically true that it was banned from some tournament use, just not all tournament use.

I’m going to enjoy Assimilating that Graveyard. Stewardess just in case hardy tries dropping Jandra down. Otherwise, Vandy out means I can’t play a hero, so instead I’m going to drop Mox

I’m summoning Vir either way, so let’s try for the Assimilate Moonshot with a peek

@hardy83’s turn!

53

wow… forgetting about assimilate was quite a big blunder, especially considering I had a similar match against @Unity where i played purple and assimilated.

you can even play my units now… i don’t think continuing this makes much sense… (?)

embarrassed :blush:

54

you can get both units and graveyard by destroying it
is not an upgrade, that would be lost for good

2 Likes
55

i got that, but i don’t see me breaking his defense AND destroying the graveyard anytime soon… (?)

56

Up to you, the Graveyard won’t get any more of your units, so I can’t steal anything more, and Imp/Javelineer still go to your discard when they die, so it’s not the end of the world, especially with me skipping a worker. I think it may still be worth a shot with you having Vandy on board, just lemme know if you want to try.

(Also, technically you could recover an upgrade as black by playing Zarramonde, but… that’s not very effective.)

57

no, they go to graveyard again until it’s destroyed/busted

58

“Your” only refers to the current controller of the Graveyard, not the owner, AFAIK. So my units would go there as long as it stays up, hardy’s would not.

Still fed up with my play :angry:

i meant that if you replay javelin/imp from graveyard, they do not go to hardy’s discard, but back to graveyard. Sorry if I was unclear.
