I’ll concede there, well played! I seem to be really struggling to deal with Red. Part of the problem might be that I’m setting up defence to stop things from dying, but against Red I’m always going to lose people, and need to think about relative card/gold efficiency too.

zhavier · March 23, 2018, 1:33pm

I can play a different color, if you’d like. Red can be hard to deal with for anybody. I think you are getting better at green, maybe expanding to other matchups would be beneficial?

charnel_mouse · March 23, 2018, 1:37pm

Yeah, feel free to change. I had a few matches against FrozenStorm’s Purple here, and felt a bit less helpless even if I still lost all but one, having more flexibility for early attacking made a lot of difference.

zhavier · March 23, 2018, 1:49pm

I will switch to blue.

Thoughts

Bringing in Calamandra for Mirkwood Allies. Terrible against Sparkshot if he goes Peace, but should be good with Blooming Ancient if he goes for illusions. Basilisks are either persuasion are just about the only way I can properly kill Brave Knights, so no firm spec decisions yet.

Shadow_Night_Black · March 23, 2018, 10:35pm

Charnel

Deathtouch is still combat damage, so they’ll still return to hand, but you should just be able to out tempo him at that point if he keeps replaying them

charnel_mouse · March 23, 2018, 10:41pm

Shadow_Night_Black

Ah yes. I guess the only way Green can properly kill him is Polymorph, then, probably not worth the bother.

Thoughts

Do I risk killing Onimaru this turn? It’s not like he’s got much attack on the board otherwise, or anything with haste, so I don’t think he’s being left as bait. What the hell, let’s do it. That also opens up quick Tigers to get past Manufactured Truth. I can wait until next turn to decide on that, though. Most annoying thing he could play right now is Free Speech.

charnel_mouse · March 25, 2018, 7:10pm

Wow, that was a terrible oversight on my part, I’d delayed maxbanding Calamandra to next turn because I thought she was safe, and I wanted to keep my options open.
I’ll put up a turn later, but it might be nice to come back at some point and see what would’ve happened if I hadn’t done that, if you’re up for that.

zhavier · March 25, 2018, 9:59pm

Understandable. We can revisit later.

Thoughts

I have to decide to block Molac or allies fueling Ancients, or fueling a future molac… Given he got Calamandra out, I probably don’t have to worry about moment’s peace and Molac will leave his board pretty empty and only 3 charges on it. He has enough gold for ancient plus allies and 1 to spare. Or a boosted allies, which is almost as bad. That many allies on the board, I wont be able to clear enough to stop a charged molac the next turn, so allies is a bigger threat at the moment.

Thoughts

Bringing in Elm for Overpower, so I’ve got better chances of getting through to the Newsman if the tower hangs around. I haven’t seen any Sergeants come out yet, so I hopefully won’t be in too bad shape next turn.

zhavier · March 30, 2018, 1:35am

I have a tower specifically to deal with stealth
Also arg Midband only works on units.

charnel_mouse · April 5, 2018, 9:05pm

Ach, I didn’t notice the tower! Just putting up the edit.
EDIT 1: Oh, and I then forgot the tower again when I attacked. Hang on, need to edit again .
EDIT 2: OK, I think I’m all set.
