If I’d teched a Doom grasp t2, I could stop the possible judgement that’s about to come. If he drew it (pretty sure he teched it right away, no stash so he probably split how he wanted), so be it. We’ll play straight up at tech 2. Demonz lets me go big for tech 3, Banefire helps with Garrison and little weanies, next turn I’ll probably bring Vandy. If he doesn’t judgement, great, Zarra plan in full effect.

Well with the Judgement in play and Garrison also down, I don’t think Banefire is such a hot plan after all. He can just judgement it then hit stuff with Bigby. I’ll hang Orpal out to dry to buy some time, continue spamming skeletons, and just plan to rush tech 3. We’ll see if that works out, I’m not holding my breath lol. Still, it does take time for him to setup something that can take down my buildings. Playing archery just to thin the deck and make him think about skeletons seriously.

Miracle Dark Pact needed to get Zarra down NOW… and I got it!!!
Still might not be enough, I suppose we’ll see, he could end up getting lethal on the Spy straight away
[/details]

190

Pretty sure playing Zarra from hand means paying for. Putting a card into play from hand is something else.

191

I couldn’t remember whether that counted or not. If that’s the case I just concede lol, no way to stop that draw you had from killing my base next turn. Tower doesn’t allot for me being able to put up enough straight defense.

This map is extremely punishing for Black and a godsend to blue. Early game bullying is the primary mechanism for success of any Black plan, inability to do so doesn’t offer much counterplay to Blue’s “let me set up control”

192

I agree, this map seemed very good for blue, and I think that played out here.

If zarra did hit my DS, I could still kill Zarra with what I have and then everything else with a judgment day, exploding your graveyard, and even kill vandy and maybe garth for good measure.

Suppose I should get some clarification on that Zarra/Lord interaction.

But in any event, onward to the next map :smiley:

This feels bad for Blue, sorta…? I guess we will find out.

you can start this one. :smiley:

found the ruling on Zarramonde

I checked the rules thread and Feral Strike is not “playing from hand” for Zarra’s purposes. So I think Skele Lord is probably the same as Feral Strike.

Teching Doom Grasp and drawing it on turn 4 would have been about the only way I win that game I think, and even then I’d be needing to get some immediate work done on turn 5.

I’m not really sure who benefits from a lack of deck thinning, but Dark Pact makes me think Black probably gets a slight edge over the map-less match.

195

If you had used Doom Grasp, I still would have had a ton of gold to work with, but yea it would have been bad for me. In retrospect I probably should have patrolled bigby in lookout or at least technician for that eventuality.

I could build tower and TD, as a way to say nope to his attacking repeatedly with those pesky units and get that defense down. At a minimum, my tower take something with it on its way out… Sac plus mid vandy gets a dead tower, but leaves him with no tech 1, no skeleton, and no haunt and a 3/3 Vandy. This is a better result than anything else I can think of.

Kinda weird but I think Jandra + Soul Stone makes a lot of sense here. So let’s pair that with a Gargoyle that’s super likely to hang on the board awhile as well. Next cycle, probably end up getting a Graveyard and Hero’s Hall down as well, tech in dark pact + another soul stone or gargoyle

Yea, ok, at least he has less stuff on the board! so, yea, bright side… I could lawful search and hope for the cadet or TD, maybe rebuild the tower and use free speech… Definitely no tech 2 here. Tower seems reasonable to waste more gold on. Free speech I am less sure about. I am just gonna lawful search with quince and hope for the best. Well, with cadet at least I can afford the tower. If he maxbands at least the buff is wasted cause free speech… Alternately, I could forego the tower in favor of spectral aven, which would actually survive a turn! :stuck_out_tongue: Hmm, thats not actually terrible…

Just putting stuff on the board to keep the deck as tidy as possible. The Aven is an interesting choice from him, no doubt he was thinking to have me kill Quince and lose out on my maxband buff, but I want Quince down a little longer than just next turn. No chance of any other teched cards in hand for him, so we’ll let him suicide Quince to fizzle the maxband if he wants to

Thoughts

oh, I can kill Vandy, huzzah! So now I have to decide, peace or Law. Censorship council seems great for really hampering his card plays, but peace seems like a better way to handle my stupidly large deck. Guess I’ll stick with the Peace plan and hope for the best. Of course, if I want things to survive, I need to not build tech 2 yet… Still definitely not winning this one.
