Fixed, I forgot to update the header count on the discard pile. Does that affect your turn?

codexnewb · October 31, 2019, 7:19pm

nope, all good.

Thoughts

Maxbanding Rook to destroy Tech II means I can’t build my own, but unless Drakk hits the board I should be OK to rely on Verdant Tree to build it next turn. Going for Blood, so I can quickly retaliate if codexnewb takes the time to kill Rook. Killing the Scavenger this time: hopefully codexnewb only just teched in Garth’s spells to deal with Rook, so not letting him reshuffle gives me time to hopefully draw into Earthquake.

i guess ill just have to risk that he’s not going strength and has Jefferson ready. teching som kidnappings to have options.

Legion · November 1, 2019, 8:30am

for charnelmouse

hitting tech II imo was useless there, since he had yet to rshuffle. I couldn’t have any tech II. It would have been better (imo) birds kill skellies and rook puts techII down to 2, so birds can still kill it ez following turn.

Thoughts

There are few things I want from Strength here: DeGrey to clear all those tokens, Colossus for a surprise base kill. Maybe Morningstar Pass against that Bugblatter, but the game won’t last long enough for that to matter.

What do I hit with the Shoddy Glider? I’d like to go for the base, then close things out with maxband Midori + Colossus, but I need to survive a turn without Moment’s Peace before I can reshuffle and get the latter. I can get the base down to 4 if I also cast Rampant Growth on Midori next turn and he doesn’t get killed before that. I’ll get at least 1 more damage from Drakk dying. Maybe I hope for a Shoddy Glider, and tech in Desperation too, I might need it to survive until then. I might kill off Drakk this turn, then he can show up later to add Frenzy, or haste something. Oh, I can add in Crash Bombers too, right? OK, maybe this is doable, I just need to not lose all my buildings on Turn 8. Hitting the base with Shoddy Glider, and I think I also bring in Spore Shambler so Drakk’s suicide helps me kill the Horror. It’ll be tight, but I can’t hold up against the Crashbarrow engine for long.

Option 1:
-mid quince, 2 mirror illusion bugbladder copies, sacrifice skeletons, hit his base for 9. unfortunately, rules thread says ‘dies’ does not include trashing, so i would not get credit for the two mirror illusion bugbladders end of turn.

therefore, let’s try and dray the other bugbladder.

5 draws later…bottom decked the other bugbladder, lol. it’s all luck from hre that he doesnt have double crashbarrow in hand…

I don’t know if I’m going to make it. If the Birds both survive, then Drakk frenzy + Rampant Growth closes the game out. I’m not sure I can make it that far, though: I can’t hit the Tech II without maxbanding Midori and leaving a non-maxed Rook on defence. I just need to put Rook in front and hope he holds…
