[MMM1] Warmup: Akiata (Blue) vs FrozenStorm (White)

Codex Codex play-by-forum
121

Charnel’s correct, though I’m more interested if he is in elite (thus the +1 attack) or scavenger as positioned? It will affect my attack choices, though only slightly

122

Yknow it doesn’t make a huge difference, so I’ll just move forward and do the sub-optimal thing assuming Oni is in scav, so if he was really in elite it has no effect other than to not give you gold

My Thoughts

Board advantage bigly

123

Well I’ll have to concede there - good game, well played! I thought toppling Rook would let me hold onto tempo but you did very well to wrest it back. And some new cards involved too, which is good warm up. I flip-flopped a bit on my deck building and I think it ended up being too unfocused, still trying to get a truth deck going.

Ugh, really hate playing P1 Blue starts without a 1-drop in hand. Let’s see how this goes.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

124

It was not a kill on Rook I was expecting, and I think you overextended a little to get it. Certainly it messed with me a bit (I was planning to play Birds on the next turn), but going down empty on cards is tough for Truth; gold isn’t tight with Truth, but cards are. If you’re aiming for truth you have to be a little more conservative on cards that way.

Staying Aggressive

127

Seems like Building Inspector made things difficult for you there - but it remains to be seen how much effect it’ll have. Blue’s tricky that way. Important to understand what your opponent can do, and plan to counter it, but even so, your opponent can simply choose other actions.

No Tech I, and Frozen’s gone down on cards… Hmm…

Is Reversal coming out again? I don’t think I have a good way to stop that… Maybe I’ll take a peek with Lawful Search!

Snapback eh? Hrm. Well it’ll be interesting to see which card he discards to play MM. And surely he’d do that because he’s so low on cards, right? Right?!

Totally called it you guys, I KNEW he’d play Martial Mastery. Had to given his hand size and the board state. It’s just simple math.

This feels pretty even to me at the moment, and as codex players go, I clearly have a really good feel for these things!

Soaking up Grave’s sword with Aven seems like a good deal to me. And have I managed to build a Tower in time this game? We shall see.

Well I’m looking at a Glorious Ninja next turn… they’re so fun. And with Sensei out, he can Tech break with it… and I can… not do a whole lot about it. Even without Aged Sensei he could play Senei’s Advice from hand…

I could potentially play Bigby $2, Arrest Sensei for $2, Tech II for $4 and worker. Leaves me with Bigby (2/3), Flagbearer (2/2) and BI (1/1) vs Rook (2/4), Smoker (1/1), Glorious Ninja (4/3). I can’t afford to play Scribe, and my hand size stays low, and there’s still a chance he can Tech break with GN.

Actually, better make that Oni, because chances are whichever hero I summon won’t survive and I may pull injuntion next turn.

Frozen is just playing too predictably here, it’s been elementary to anticipate exactly what he’s going to do, and when he’s going to do it.

Porcupine eh? What’s the thing to do with Ninja’s and Cute Animals again? Fox’s Den School. Riiight. OK, well for my next act of infallible clairvoyance I foresee that being played next turn. Mark my words, I’m almost NEVER wrong about these things.

OK, I just looked at his hand. He doesn’t have it.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

134

@Akiata I’m really confused why you would give the levels to Oni and not Bigby; are you sure that’s what you want? Keep in mind, my birds don’t die when the bird’s nest drops, they still remain on the field until they are killed

Derp, I’m a dummy, and forgot that the Bird tokens would persist after Bird’s Nest ended. I think levels to Bigby is a much better idea, if you’re happy for me to retcon my turn?

Sensei’s advice to the Birds was something I definitely should have thought about - but as above, I didn’t. Then again, not a lot I could have done about it - except Free Speech perhaps, but idk.

Max level Setsuki… oof.

Really don’t have the funds to build Tech III this turn I doen’t think. Worker+TechIII leaves me 3 to spend. Gotta play Macciatus, and I could squeeze out a Hound. Leaving me with Hound (4/4), Reteller (4/4), Bigby (3/4) and Macciatus (3/3) vs Birb (1/1), Birb (1/1), Sets (3/4, swift), Porcupine (2/6, deathtouch), Morningstar (2/2), Aged Sensei (1/1), Fox Primus (3/2). Yeah, I’ll lose all my guys…

So…

Paid ($9) Maciatus ($7), Tiger ($4), Aven ($2), and… Quince I think, extra bodies means the Tower does more work, and I keep one card in hand for card draw. Plus, unlikely to see Gryphon’s next hand, possible though.

Fact is, on his turn Frozen could potentially play any non-ult spell in his codex, and COULD play Sets’ Ult (which would probably win the game). I’m basically just hoping for the best here.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

Thoughts

OK, well… I think Fox Den School (see unerring prediction from several turns ago), is a massive threat here.

If I Arrest Porcupine, I can get Macciatus and Bigby through for a tech II break, which will/might buy me a turn.
