do you mean as green? I think that basilisks and ferocity could be a good defence, same for moment’s peace. MP is great to stall for time, and basilisks with ferocity are an almighty wall.
also, as P1 you have to keep the pressure high. P2 has econ adv, if you lose th tech race or let him get ahead on the board things get nasty.
Okay. Rematch?
I agree with Legion, you need to be more aggressive to push back against whites heroes. Without a spell like judgement day and without haste, when green falls behind on board, it is hard to regain momentum and swing things back. If you look back at our games, you are rarely in a position to attack, even when you are p1. Part of that is because you are really big on Rich Earth. P1 should pressure P2 because if they dont, P2 has an economic advantage and will naturally play tech II first if they are allowed to. Also white has several ways to heal or mitigate damage so that white can keep the pressure up, if white isn’t losing units or heroes, that’s a big gold advantage. I think most games I’ve killed more heroes than you, which results in more virtual gold I’ve made.
I also agree that deathtouch and the basilisk are great ways to fight white, a color similar to green without a mass removal spell, though white does have a little haste.
Okay. That makes sense. Rematch?
Sure, I know I just explained how to have a better chance against white, but I’m curious to try playing Blue. I haven’t played with Blue much, but I’d like to try it out.
This is my general philosophy for Codex, but keep in mind it doesn’t really take combos into account and I’m not a fantastic Codex player: [Strategy] Codex Roles P1 vs. P2
That’s fine
I rolled an 85 to go first
- I’ll submit my first turn in a little while.
One way of thinking about Rich Earth is that if you play it as Player 1 you’re essentially letting the other player be Player 1 while still having one more worker than you to start with.
Good point. I’ll be more careful with it from now on
Btw is it alright if I switch to Purple?
No problem!

Here goes nothing! Nullcraft stops me from wanting to make Traffic Director OR Building Inspector, but Building Inspector seems like a great card later while Traffic Director is so-so. Rather have Oni than anyone else, though I thought about trying to get crazy with Quince’s mirrors.

Ooh, drew them both! That’s pretty neat, they both seem worth playing. His board got really good really fast. So he has a 4/4 and a 3/3 against my twerpy blue guys. Hopefully no FF for him next turn…
Nice illusion you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if someone were to…pop it

Anything that attacks is just going to die. Therefore he probably won’t use Bigby to attack. He may well just not attack at all.
