[Casual] Nekoatl [Necromancy]/Growth/Blood vs FrozenStorm [Peace]/Future/Feral

Codex Codex play-by-forum

I was wondering why you didn’t just break things if you had the tech 3!

Bad luck for me, GG WP!

Yeah, I think spec’ing into Growth first is ironically a stronger Necro strategy than actually spec’ing into Necromancy to start with. Well, @codexnewb beat me quite a few times with the Collector/Ancient combo, and I could only overcome it with my (currently undefeated, outside of map games) [Demonology]/Growth/Strength build.

But, that was a super fun game, the mass removal was excellent stall, and you had me super worried with the flying Tiny Basilisk, since my Skeletons couldn’t attack it.

I think I probably had you, if you didn’t have the tech 3!

Indeed it was very fun, I’m impressed this deck lasted as long as it did!

Happy to run it back if you want to

I predicted your codex would be challenging right from the beginning; it’s full of tricks that are difficult for my build to deal with.

Making use of the combo while I can!

Should’ve only been 2 skeletons, AFAIK, since Necromancers don’t trigger off their own deaths.

Also, awesome to see a win via Blooming Elm! (among other things)

I feel like it probably should be 4 (why wouldn’t they trigger upon their own deaths?), but I’ve posed the question!

Also GL HF @Nekoatl!

All 3 of his heroes have spells that can completely shut down my units, but a flying Midori can get free hero kills even without spells, not to mention he has the unique potential to permanently take away my Graveyard, so he’s my kill priority.

I think he’s trying to pop my Graveyard via overpopulation. Well, that’s fine if he does; it’s already earned its gold cost. But for now, I’ll prioritize non-unit support over adding new non-token units to the field.
