Isn’t white supposed to have wrath of god :grinning:

Who needs God when you have a giant rock monster and cute porcupines?

65

Oh man I’ve been trying to figure out this turn forever now. So many ways this could go.

66

I have to assume most of those ways involve summoning at least one dragon. Hopefully the Jail keeps that under control. @penatronic

67

I owe you a turn, but IRL stuff is crazy for me right now and I’m trying to prioritize my CAPS game and games that require much less thinking :grinning:

68

No worries.

where is my wrath of god? I should have probably been more aggressive on the board, he’s got too much of a wall now infront of his buildings.

Man, Peace turns get REALLY LONG.

72

Not sure if I have a good answer… learning lessons the hard way.

73

Yeah, you’re in a tough spot. You can attack with Sets and get the Dragon out of Jail, but I think I’ve got enough of a Peace engine going that I’ll be able to rapidly replace any losses. Having the Spectral Aven around has really paid off for me because of how many times I’ve been able to Mirror him. Last turn I wrestled with putting out Tech III, but after Lawful Search gave me the Drill Sergeant it made more sense to put out troops.

Mono-White is short on ways to target Illusions which aren’t patrolling, especially Discipline.

74

Well I totally blew it by workeribg my only targeting spells immediately, total mistake against blue starter.

Did you Worker Grappling Hook? Yeah, that would hurt.

Do you want to concede or play it out a bit more? This is by no means a lock for me.

76

After rereading my previous turn I realized that I made a really dumb mistake. Turning the Mirror Illusion into the Spectral Aven should have cost 2 money, which leaves me without enough to make the second Mirror Illusion (which became the copy of the Brave Knight). Nothing really changes except that the Mirror Brave Knight is gone. I’ve updated the earlier post.

77

looking at my hand I don’t think theres anything I can do to come back on this board. GG.

Good game!
