[Casual] charnel_mouse (Green/White) vs. FrozenStorm (Purple)

To make the flood strat work in the past I would recommend a few things.

  1. Don’t Tech Unphase. Esp against green your trying to make sure they don’t have a board, and they dont really have units/heros that you have to worry about sitting in the back and winning the game.

  2. If your going to tech double Seers, you need a highier percentage of your deck to care about time runes, only having plasmodium is not great to get value from them. This is also true of Temporal Research, which you mentioned being part of your win con with R&D.

3)If your relying on an ultimate spell as your win con, teching it the turn you max the hero is too late. By the time you cycle round to it, your likely to have lost the hero as you can no longer heal them. (This one didn’t matter in this game, as Geiger never lived for a whole turn but I feel should still be made)

If you want to see my take of board spam (I generally think of it as forecast spam, but that’s my variant on it) I did a game as purple v Green here where I used it.

Well I’ll see if I can get the board flood thing to work this time, but I would caution that Feral is susceptible to Future’s fliers!

Okay, going to spam cards earlier with Prynn and TR, use Origin Story to get rid of Cala if she gets heavy investment

Yep, that looks like a rush. Huntress for the sparkshot to kill Seers, Basilisk for whatever they pull out, or Geiger. In the meantime, let’s rush the rusher’s buildings, what could possibly go wrong?

Nah he did exactly what needed to be done :slight_smile:

Ugh, I forgot the Tiny Basilisk can’t block tech 0s. That might be the game there, but I’ll keep going!

We can have you redo your turn 3 if you want to! That’s an easy thing to forget and I’m fine replaying, provided you don’t play too hard to the knowledge you gained :wink:

That turn was pretty painful, even after changes. Young Treant gave me Ferocity straight out of this turn’s tech, though, so maybe I can sufficiently block up against his low-HP units, with enough resist to deter Prynn’s spells.

For future reference, you should play the tiger cub before Ferocity in the future, as Ferocity only affects the units you have in play when you play it. There is no reason why you counldn’t have here, so Im sure FrozenStorm gonna be happy with the slight reordering.

Keep flooding!


Ok, trying to tech up rather than building a tower might have been too optimistic. I have a dead hand, so that’s game this time! Nicely done.
I definitely made a mistake in not teching Nature Reclaims this time, or Ferocity/Murkwood faster. Huntress was a mistake too, the idea was to kill the Seers, but your high card draw made that a bad idea.

GG WP! That was a better representation of how purple can flood the board. Want too play again? I’m game for switching sides or decks it whatever you like!

It certainly was! I might have stood a chance, but my first techs weren’t nearly responsive enough to the Plasmodium going down.
Switching sounds good! I’ll try out White, random 26.
