[Casual] Frozenstorm ([Demonology]/Strength/Future) vs AncientSlumber ([Growth]/Necro/Blood)

GL HF @AncientSlumber! I think this deck will probably be a little more trouble than the one I just played XD A little odd why Future was chosen though, any idea why? Did I see the spreadsheet right that Finesse was open?

My Thoughts

This should be a much closer matchup (I hope), Future is a bit of an odd fit but at least it gives me an out against MoLaC. Probably going Imp + Tech1 next turn, with Birds on deck


GL HF! You did see it correctly that finesse was open ^^ I can’t speak for the person who chose this, but if I had to guess, Future is considered as the anti-upgrade/building spec in our group. Seeing the we have Peace and Growth, I assume it was taken as an answer to MoLaC and FG.

I’m going to try something a little different this game, let’s hope I don’t crash spectacularly :stuck_out_tongue:

My tech 1 suuuuuucks lol. Like I guess Mythmaking could make Jandra pretty elite? and I probably want to go DeGrey, so I spose Mythmaking is a decent option… Yeah actually. Okay. We’ll go with that. Bird’s Nest isn’t as good for me, I spose Vandy would have been a better threat here. Oh well.


You don’t like that start as in you think I made a mistake or you don’t like it for yourself? ^^ It might have been too greedy, not sure. Nice! hit the jackpot with the YT draw this time :smiley:

Going to just bait a Rook kill here, I think AS will probably sac the horror to take it, next turn I’ll lay Jandra and tech up, and just dominate all those puny tokens with DeGrey. Easy money? Let’s hope so XD

So I’m a little confused. I think you should have a skeleton backline (as it survived the Rook kill with armor) and not patrolling (LB makes 1, you had one that attacked, that’s 2 total)

I also just want to make sure you have discard 1, draw 1 rs draw 2 yeah? Last turn you were 4/1/2, you made a worker + LB + RG?

1 Like

Ah, I’ll move 1 skeleton back, you’re right. And yes, discard 1, draw 1 rs draw 2 is correct

It’s edited now. at first I sacced a skeleton to draw, but then right after posting I realized I can’t do that at lvl 3 so I redrew 3 instead of 4 and edited the turn to reflect

Hmm I guess I go DP + Soul Stone, lay Jandra and Tech up so the tech 2 becomes must-kill moving forward. Can always use Vir to manipulate the DeGrey into the deck, tower up, max Rook as defensive options… I’ll go technician to maximize chances to keep cycling everything.

Ooof this is bad… did not want both in the same hand… I’ll probably have to use vir, hope I get something else I can patrol from techn / topdeck


Wow, that seems bold to go for tech 2 there :thinking:

Dark Pact! My odds are good for Imp or Boulder! Teching another Soul Stone, and another Boulder. It’s now just a game of stay alive

Booooo! Haunt and Soul Stone! Well at least I didn’t bottom deck ALL THREE. So I guess I Soul Stone the jav and tower, and det a skeleton, He’ll just barely be able to break the tech2 again


I am not sure how you’re coming back from this, but you keep surprising me so I can’t wait to find out lol

GGWP! :slight_smile: Got a bit lucky with drawing Death Rites right on the first draw there, but worst case scenario I think I would have killed your tech 2 here with a leftover horde.

FYI, your base was written as 16, but it was on 14 from my last turn.

Oh wow, crashbarrow and death rites! Very fortunate. GG WP! I’ll have to check your techs to see how that lined up. Your turn to go first!

Hmm so I’m really confused by something; you teched 2x bone collector on turn 3, then reshuffled them into your deck for a draw 2 of 9. Then you played one and maxbanded for the other? I don’t think that’s possible, how was the second one in your discard?

1 Like

Oh my, I think I screwed up there… I’m not sure it would have mattered (I was debating if it was worth doing at the time), but that’s annoying :confused: We could replay the game if you’d like.

And yeah, I got lucky with my draws in that last turn for sure. Maybe I was in a worse spot than I thought and just got lucky…

It’s all for fun :wink: not a biggie. I do think that matters though, the skeletons added up to a lot of draws for you. Top decking crashbarrow and death rites is very lucky out of a 9 card deck, 8% chance. Even getting two of those three (cbx2 and Dr) out if the first 4 cards in the deck is only 40%, and really the death rites was the critical piece

Why don’t you start the next one and if you want to try again on p2 after, I’m game for it

1 Like

I was thinking of leaving Garth to max after my tech 2 is complete which might have been better, but I definitely see your point. I really wonder if I would have won the game otherwise.

Looking at your next hand I think it would have been hard to bypass, better be lucky than good I guess lol. The Rich Earth felt good, but I think it probably destroyed my tempo more than I realized. I also had an opportunity to flood the board with even more LBs at certain points in the game but decided against it, which I’m not sure was right… Anyway, enough random thoughts, here we go!
