My Thoughts

Ugh black and we’re off to a great start with Imp + a mediocre t1 hand. I think I’ll party with Jaina to start, can always just sacrifice her, she’s good for sparkshotting skeletons though

Nopethebard · June 4, 2019, 4:18am

Sorry about that. Thanks for telling me, though. Does Deteriorate work on heroes?

Legion · June 4, 2019, 7:22am

nope, it says units. heroes are not units

Nopethebard · June 4, 2019, 7:43am

I didn’t really think so, but I figured it was worth a shot.

My Thoughts

Hm, I think I’ll try Hotter Fire gameplan. I want to trade back well against Vandy, so I’m gonna go Tower. That way, even if he went Shadow Blade + DP or something, I should be able to trade pretty well. Teching Ember Sparks + Lobber.
…
Hmm, drew both. Better than splitting the Lobber now and Sparks after I spose, but obv would have preferred the Lobber defer itself. Can’t always get what you want and all that

Nopethebard · June 4, 2019, 5:44pm

I do intend to wait on Tech 1.

deteriorate does not put runes. Just gives a -1/-1 until the end of your turn. Is back to 3/2 during frozen turn

Nopethebard · June 4, 2019, 5:46pm

Huh. Never mind on that part then.

FrozenStorm · June 4, 2019, 6:26pm

Omg the Terror if Deteriorate applied -1/1 runes… It’s already S-tier in terms of starter spells…

My Thoughts

I get really good value out of Ember Sparks here, so probably do that. Jaina’s going to be in a compromised situation basically regardless, so that’s okay. I can hit back pretty hard with Zane or Drakk next turn, or just tech up then hit back harder later

My Thoughts

Interesting strat…? Not sure what the end goal is from him, I could get Vandy or Garth kills out of this but I would rather tech up. I’ll likely lose Jaina for it, but I mean I’m drawing into 2 lobbers and Hotter Fire, I can do some serious harm with that and Zane or Drakk at the ready (and I have a tower, so there’s no easy trades to be made)

Vandy will die for the pleasure, being on 2hp and attacking a 3-attack hero with a tower That still what you wanna do?

Nopethebard · June 4, 2019, 8:46pm

Never mind. I’ll fix my turn in a few hours.

Nopethebard · June 4, 2019, 9:43pm

There we go.

FrozenStorm · June 4, 2019, 10:56pm

I meant moreso when the RS happened. Did you Dark Pact? I don’t think I damaged your base, so afaik it should be at 20hp still (until after my turn anyway XD)

My Thoughts

Hmmm… gonna tech the other Ember Sparks and Firebird, and hope I draw Firebird or Hotter Fire. I expect him to come for Jaina, but it’s possible he’ll Meta and go for Tech 2 I suppose… I do have to be a little weary of Fencer, so let’s patrol Drakk in SQL and hope that keeps him out
