Calamandra overrides. Midori’s is conditional, Calamandra’s is not.

I,ll wait for your redo

You were probably thinking of Midori and Behind the Ferns, since each of their effects can directly impact whether the other ability works.

Yeah, that’s exactly the one I was thinking of.

Redone the draw, otherwise the turn is pretty similar; I’ve just gone for a double-tech break instead of a base kill.

Thanks for spotting the error, Bomber!

Cross-posting my current thoughts for convenience. Interested in @bolyarich’s thoughts on this so far.

One starter card we haven’t seen yet is Spine Crawler. However, this seems like a pure stalling card, which might prove to be futile against Green, which can build up an economy more quickly in a slowly-developing game.

Sorry for the delay, I forgot you’d started a new game. GL HF!

Game 3

P2T1

Starting Hand: 5

Verdant Tree
Merfolk Prospector
Ironbark Treant
Forest’s Favor
Rampant Growth

Thoughts

Forest’s Favor Rampant Growth in my starting hand this time, so a hero kill will be a bit more difficult. Zagara can summon another Zerkling this turn, which is enough to kill Calamandra in Squad Leader. He’d have to trade Zakara, though, so maybe that’s fine. Let’s see how Calamandra -> weenie spam works for Player 2. Playing Forest’s Favor over Merfolk Prospector here is not something I’d usually do, but I think it’s worth it here so Zagara can’t just midband to be safe.

GLHF! This already feels like a scarier early game.

Zurk v1.3, Game 1

P2T1

Starting Hand: 5

Merfolk Prospector
Forest’s Favor
Rampant Growth
Spore Shambler
Playful Panda

Thoughts

With Creep Tumour now letting Zurklings sideline patrollers, and Dehaka losing health to gain armour on attack, I’m now liking Ferocity even more. However, there’s now a Rampant Growth equivalent in the starter, so between that and Creep Tumour I need to be much more careful about bringing Calamandra out immediately, or any hero for that matter.
