rather he trade into me than me to him. need more tech 3’s.

I completely forgot I even had a Surplus (I think this was the first time I’d built one since joining the forums). The card draw isn’t optional either, so my last 2 turns were technically illegal, but it seems like too much trouble to go back and make changes now. Do you mind if I just draw 2 cards now to compensate?

131

Sure. I think im writing this game off soon anyways. I feel like there have been a few mistakes unnoticed. lets play it out and see how it ends though. draw your cards and bring it on.

il GG it there. i dont think id win from playing this out.

134

GG. Btw, if you’re interested in playing some games with map cards, check out the Crazy Map King-of-the-Hill

135

hey man, you interested in picking a game back up here, or are you too busy with FFA and Map Kings?

136

There’s enough downtime with those to fit some normal games in on the side, as long as you don’t mind me prioritizing the multiplayer games (since there’s more people waiting).

137

no worries at all. im looking to tweak [balance/growth/necro - i was P1 last time we played, so you can feel free to post your team and turn 1. no rush to post often. just to keep it moving at a steady pace.

I don’t have an interest in Skeletons per se, but I do need cheap sacrifices, and the javelin rune might come in handy since I’m not planning to use Skeletal Archery. I toyed with the idea of playing the Imp, but then he could easily recover hand size by playing a hero and building his Tech I, and the Imp can’t beat a hero on its own.

I plan to Reclaim his Tree and Earth, as MoLaC takes more time to ramp up (hopefully) and so is the preferred choice to be repeatedly destroyed and replayed.

I can’t really defend well right now, so I’ll present a variety of targets to choose from. If I can get to a point where money and cards are less restrictive, maybe I’ll try to cycle Moments Peace.

Extremely weak defense options this turn; I’ll play the Owls to get them out of my cycle and help build resources for later. The Elemental might take them out, but that’s probably better than it hitting buildings.
