[CAWS20] Round1: Unity [Present/Future]/Peace vs CarpeGuitarrem MonoRed

I have a question: If I Peek at a card it will be moved from the Deck to the Top of the deck column. Do I just let it stay there if I want to take it with one of Vir´s abilities later or for the Discard and draw phase?

And if I could Stash: would I just move it from my hand to the Stash column and then press the Discard/Draw button?

Carpe has it correct here; SQL granting armor refreshes in between turns in multiplayer, but otherwise armor is a one-time grant. Elite Training will give armor but not refresh it when your turn ends.

I only use the spreadsheet for card management and not posting, so YMMV, but typically I will for Vir peek:

  1. Hit “draw 1”
  2. If I’m swapping it / playing it directly, keep it there, otherwise, manually cut/paste it back to the deck.
  3. On discard/draw, I will just press the button as normal, and if I don’t draw the peeked card, take my last card I drew and manually swap it via cut/paste with the peeked card

I do what you said for Stash; cut/paste it out of the hand area (anywhere really), discard/draw as normal, (take the last card drawn and put it back in deck if I discarded 3+ cards), and then move the stashed card back to hand.

Again, not sure how that plays with the generated post from the spreadsheet (@zhavier might know better), but you can always correct w/e the turn output is manually.

The razing of my Tech II delays me. We are both low on cards. I hope the Surplus pays off, not much else I can do with my money. Tower would have been an option. But I think I need more tempo.

The kill on Zane, nightmarish. And I drew all my hasty spells in one go. Literal worst-case scenario. Hm, Drakk plus double BL is 6 gold, I can midband for 3. That gives me 4 ATK on both Drakk and Rambaster and that is a really obnoxious total for both. Having the Nullcraft in play was a HUGE swing, with a bloodlusted Zane I could’ve smacked through Argonaut and then busted up Tech 2 again. I don’t think I have a kill on anything meaningful here, but I hate to give up advantage like that. But I do think it comes down to hunkering down and tanking up. 2 gold on Drakk, 5 gold on Surplus, 1 gold on workering, draw up next turn and have lots of options including exploding Zane Sharks. Keep Drakk in SQL to make for an awkward attack split (nullcraft and Argo have to devote attacks to killing him, leaving just Vir and Mox to kill Tech 2) wait no I can threaten Tech 3 instead of Surplus that’s actually a good way to protect my Tech 2. And I can build a Tower to kill Nullcraft.

@Unity’s turn!

I have to kill Argo so that I can break Tech 2. Lobber, Mad Man, Zane, Rambaster does that. I can Mad Man plus Max Zane for 8 gold to kill Argo, then I have 1 gold to Lobber and Zane gets an attack. I can break one tech building and almost break another, or I can break a tech building and get a Vir kill. I can’t save Zane, RIP. But I can keep threatening Cinderblast. Nah, I’ll just break one tech building and be happy with that and play GPT. I’m assuming there is no way Unity teched Nebulas that far ahead of time.

@Unity’s turn!

The Peek function actually does work, so all the things frozen did aren’t actually required. The top of deck cell works to alleviate the need for any extra manipulations post discard/draw

You are 100% correct, I missed this line entirely and I think that cost me a ton; my next turn would’ve played out completely differently if I had maxband Drakk online.
