[Casual] GBudee vs Dwarddd

GBudee · August 26, 2020, 9:58pm

And yes, that was a spite-grapple that put me down on cards

GBudee · August 27, 2020, 3:21am

Hmm, it has been brought to my attention that I didn’t notice you deteriorate killing one of my ninjas, but it also turns out that was impossible due to the presence of a flagbearer. Perhaps you should draw an additional card?

annoying no resurrecter but i would say the board is stable! next, i have to find out how to keep it level and then how to win, no idea for either

Legion · August 27, 2020, 11:25am

more like you can’t pay for it.

dwarddd · August 27, 2020, 11:37am

For flavour i decided that’s what the money was for, i guess you were just clarifying i understood the rules but dw on this occasion Any other suggestions for why you have to pay? Because I don’t see where the extra cost to attack sets comes from

Legion · August 27, 2020, 12:38pm

maybe cuz she’s stealthy and the money is the bait to lure her out?

GBudee · August 27, 2020, 2:54pm

I think the money is to pay an informant for tips as to her whereabouts!

Thoughts

I’m pleased that discipline seems to have been the right call here. I now believe that Discipline is best for shutting out games where you’re winning on board with heroes (P1 games), ninjutsu is best for winning a fast P2T3 Tech II, and Growth is situationally useful against tokens, backline-oriented stuff, and when Boulder was used against early game unit pressure.

Edit 1: Copy pasted wrong turn

Legion · August 27, 2020, 3:09pm

I think your starting hand is wrong.

GBudee · August 27, 2020, 3:24pm

It’s the spreadsheet version of StartingHand, so it shows the technician draw, and doesn’t show the spell discards. You can see how it compares to the previous NextHand to make better sense of it, maybe.

dwarddd · August 27, 2020, 4:58pm

That’s GG from me, well played! I had one turn of operational tech 2 which was wasted by me and you played well from the start! I didn’t think of how my plans could be countered but you clearly did…
Im down for another pair of games, a new matchup though? I think i might try Disease/Truth/Balance just to see how it goes

GBudee · August 27, 2020, 7:13pm

I appreciate the compliment! Well played to you as well I’m sure the game could have diverged in many ways, but I think it was interesting that you would have totally blown me out with a turn 2 Doom Grasp tech -> perfect split + turn 4 Doom Grasp. Maybe that’s way too much of a trickshot? I can’t really imagine teching that myself…

Anyway, I’m thinking of going mono-Purple! Will you be P1?

dwarddd · August 27, 2020, 11:22pm

Hmm maybe doom grasp would have been a clever play… i used to love that spell but seemed to overlook it here

I’m busy for the next few hours so if you are free go ahead and go first

hrnn i didn’t plan this properly; I went for Orpal for black starter spells but actually Midori’s midband is cool with spectral hounds and Quince is where I want to get hallucination out from; teching cheap tech 1s and hopefully can tech up next turn
