roach + hero/ Zag + creeptumor, other alternatives are bad :((
@charnel_mouse’s turn!
I don’t think they attach to anything, do they? Aren’t they just regular ongoing spells?

what’s are other ongoing spell? If not, it’s ok, it’s just like upgrafe, but require a hero(quenn) to play?

Well, all the official ongoing spells either have the channelling keyword, or explicitly state to attach them to another unit. Neither’s on the cards’ text here, so I guess they just hang around like upgrades. Differences are that
- They require a hero to play;
- Tyrannosaurus Rex and Versatile Style can’t destroy them.
For this match, I’d still have Nature Reclaims and Potent Basilisk to deal with them, so it shouldn’t make much difference.

Honestly, I had not fully thought through that. I was drawing inspiration from the tweaks to the starter deck that @EricF suggested
I was only this morning when I was starting to mock up proxy cards and get them as close to originals in shape/style, etc (I’m drafting them in Excel, cuz I’m not tech savvy enough to use something like photoshop)…
When I noticed there were no other ongoing spells in the other starter decks.
Assimilate can gain control of an ongoing spell, but could also target them as upgrades (essentially stealing / removing creep tumor). Other ongoing spells for comparison: Harmony, Two Step, War Drums, Final Showdown, Spirit of the Panda, Dreamscape, Mind Control, Soul Stone, Bird’s Nest, Entangling VInes, & Vortross Emblem.
About half are channeling and half attach. None are “Tech 0”. So it is hard to determine comparable. You could say they attach to the casting hero (or queen) and essentially give them channeling. They essentially work like Upgrades, so their carp type could be changed.
Thematically, having Inject Larva as a spell allows a Queen to cast it, or Zagara, or another hero. Creep tumor could be a building or upgrade alternatively, but being a building makes it much more vulnerable.
That was my intent: that they are basically upgrades, but for balance/flavor they could require a hero/queen be in play.

I’m surprised to see Zagara here: they get a lot of health at higher levels, but right now it looks like Calamandra can easily deal with them before Corrosive Bile comes out to give her -1 runes. I like the idea of swarming Frogs to match the Zerklings, I can’t see any crowd control options for Brown. Tech I unit I’m probably most worried about is the Infested Argonaut, because of its stats.

Tower? T1? may be trade his SQL + midband Zag? Tower is better, i guess, also my table spam is stronger and faster - i have additional zerg each turn or 2/1 haste with maxband zag

Tower over Tech I, huh? In that case I’ll go for Galina for income, and Huntress for the sparkshot. Going Behind the Ferns for a stealthy kill on Zagara is a bit risky when I’m only drawing two cards after the reshuffle, and when bolyarich might have a Corrosive Bile in hand.

I guess bolyarich’s going for Zagara’s maxband frenzy aura here. I’m just not sure how much I care, if we’re both massing small units. I have Might of Leaf and Claw, he doesn’t, and Artisan Mantii play a similar role to Zagara’s ultimate, especially if he’s mostly sticking to Zurklings.
