Hari-kari, GGWP :wink: swap sides?

Iā€™m a little surprised you didnā€™t tech kidnapping or origin story, and that you didnā€™t go heroes hall on turn 6 (floating 4 is a lot)

164

I donā€™t have a lot of experience with Blood spells yet, and Iā€™ve had bad results when Iā€™ve tried to use Origin Story in the past. Then again, Origin Story is probably more useful in the late game where thereā€™s gold to spare, so I should probably give it another chance.

Iā€™m rather tired atm, but Iā€™ll start a game up tomorrow morning.

Interesting start for him, itā€™s a good chunk of base damage but I feel like itā€™ll be decently punishable. Might try a 2-hero approach and forgo tech 1 right away, weā€™ll see though.

My Thoughts

Goal is keep Sets safe and trade efficiently. No doubt heā€™s going Stewardess, so Iā€™m going to put Older Brother in resist, and position Tenderfoot to trade with BROgre. Fuzz Cuddles is a safe play against his deck and good for my heroes, so going with her again, and a Lobber b/c maybe Iā€™ll want to pick off a Nauty Dog or that Rambaster. Keep the units cheap b/c I want to put money into Sets, so be it on Origin Story. My only really fool-proof tech 2 plan is Hotter Fire against Kidnapping and Prynn max, which is hard but then again it isnā€™t an awful plan.

My Thoughts

Well, it seems likely that an Origin Story is coming (or at least was teched last turn, meaning killing CB gives him a 1 or 2/6, but I can tech before a Sets max draw if he didnā€™t tech it / doesnā€™t hit so Iā€™ll wait and see if FDS would be a good choice here or not. For now another Lobber and Ember Sparks feels like a decent hedge of ā€œstuff Iā€™ll want in the deckā€.

Weird that he wants Bloodburnā€¦

My Thoughts

Well if I tech BEFORE Sets draw, thatā€™s only 50/50 to draw anything I double tech, so I donā€™t think FDS is a good call. I think instead Iā€™ll try and draw for a 1-drop (like 80%) and double tech hotter fire to line up for next hand. If by some miracle I donā€™t get Origin Storied (perhaps he went kidnapping instead, anticipating an Iron Man from me?) more cards for me XD If not, I might be able to reach tech 2 (just donā€™t draw ember sparks now!)
ā€¦
Okay no Ember Sparks, no lobber either (kinda sucks) but Messenger is still solid, put him in Lookout.

My Thoughts

Okay, heā€™s on 2 cards, if I kill Prynn and Crash Bomber heā€™s pretty light for what can attack, and almost certainly I keep my 2 lobbers (or lobber + jaina) and my tech 2, but only if I skip worker to put Troq in front. Thatā€™s fine, Iā€™m good on dollars, so long as I keep my card count up Iā€™ll be able to lock his tech buildings down.

176

Sorry I made two quick edits, patrolled Jaina and double-tapped the Tech 2 instead of splitting to the tech 1. I had a lunch-coma brain fart on what kind of damage Midbanding Drakk might bring :wink:

177

Thatā€™s okay, Iā€™ve graduated past the Tech II building anyway.

1 Like
181

GG, WP. I donā€™t know how much the Heroes Hall would have helped, what with your plethora of options to directly damage buildings. This is one of those builds where I try to synergize 3 late-game specs, and Past needs to be the core so that Remembers can consistently pull things out of the discard. The specific combos are many, but generally fall into the category of causing units to exit and enter play while triggering bonuses, and smothering my opponentā€™s gold income while amplifying my own, and repeatedly attacking with hasty units to quickly charge MoLaC. Iā€™m not happy with the early game options, however, so Iā€™m abandoning this build for the forseeable future.

If you want to see a 3 late-game spec build that actually works well, I can play you as [Demonology]/Growth/Strength. Actually, Iā€™m curious if you can find a way to win against it.

182

Sure, sounds fun :slight_smile: Want me on this same deck or shall I roll again?
