doubling down on this. stashing the insurance agent. hopfully get the big swing next turn.

#426

A question, how I think this would work -

Gargoyle has a rune (-1/-1) and was doomed. He “dies at your next upkeep”. But he was alive “until your next upkeep”, and then he becomes indestructible. So I figure this works like -

  1. Until next upkeep, Gargoyle is alive
  2. At next Upkeep, Gargoyle is no longer alive, and Vandy’s effect triggers. Gargoyle then “dies”, but he’s indestructible, so I exhaust him and remove all attachments (e.g. -1/-1) rune. Gargoyle remains exhausted, because the “Ready” step happens before upkeep

Just checking to make sure that looks right before I play out the turn…

#427

No worries at all. Here is how it would happen. I’ve been there before

You get to choose the order as the active player

Upkeep

  1. Doomed gargoyle loses flying and becomes indestructible
  2. Doomed gargoyle gets “doomed”, but exhausts instead of dies
  3. Runes are not attachments. Attachments are specific types of cards (like Two Step or Spirit of the Panda) So the -1 rune stays. Damage chits would clear if he had any as well.

It’s the same principle with hardened mox from purple. If he gets a -1 rune, he is sidelined indefinitely.

#428

Thanks - didn’t actually realize that could happen to Mox

Well I assume a Liberty Gryphon is inc… so let's hope another Maestro doesn't come along and delay my Zarramonde another turn

so close…that was a good play for him. lets see if i can make it in this base rush.

#432

That’s GG - can’t do much from here with Tech 3 out. Had a pretty rough early game, and there was a little hope when I built Tech 3 but I wasn’t able to keep it up.

I’ve actually never played as or against Finesse before. River didn’t seem like much of a threat but her units seem great 'til Tech 3.

I’ll try MonoBlack on this one & see where that takes me …

ah dude, i think i forgot to note in the steps that river kills imp. hence she only has 1 hp. sorry. ill update that. clearly it changes things.

#442

No worries; I rewound and did it all over. More or less turns out the same, since I draw a card and use an extra card, but I don’t do a damage to Tech 1. Turn edited above
