Codex Codex play-by-forum

@Hobusu, @EricF any thoughts?

I’ve considered it, but I haven’t been able to play Codex in a while… So I’m not sure how useful my advice would be. :sweat_smile:

254

Any advice would be nice, at the end of the day it seems I am not thinking in the right ways for green, so an idea to follow would be nice. Currently the best start has been the circle of life start, I was just too greedy with the second mimic (potent basilisk would have been a better idea), but that could be worked around.

255

Hrrmm. I know as a Red player I hate dealing with Centaur, or really anything with 4+ HP. Of course, that’s where kidnapping comes in, but Cal might be able to shut that down. You’d have to aggressively kill Drakk if he’s the lead, or aggressively kill HH if Zane/Jaina comes out first, and try to trap Drakk in the command zone. And Cal’s stealth or BtF is probably the best bet of making that work.

The problem is that once you go low on cards for that stealth, your draws become poop and you don’t have the cheapies that Red has to work with that kind of hand.

You could try a tower so reds cheapys die more consistently and he can’t amass a board as easily. Zane is also harder to use since he just straight up dies to more things now.

[details=for Shadow]you could try the following tech plan:
Giant panda/ Glimmer
Giant panda/ flex slot. more units/moments peace circle of life/tech II if player 2

The real meat behind the plan is either a tower or Midbandori boosting your stuff. Ideally Midori as your first hero and then you either spend 3 gold for a tower or 4 gold for Midbandori. Kinda depends on draws but I bet tower is a more consistent opening(if this even works). Hopefully this goes well enough to get both a tower and Midbandori.

Giant panda’s are 3/4 defensively with a tower and are way less useful to kidnap. You can snowball into air superiority with maxband Midori/mimics/dragons(this also defends against gliders) or token spam with Murkwood allies/blooming ancient/MoLaC. Maybe even just grab stalking tigers/barkcoat bears for big units he can’t readily kidnap. [/details]
