[MMM1] Warmup: Black (FrozenStorm) vs Purple (zhavier)

Codex Codex play-by-forum
115

Im curious if the discard had gone the other way, how it would have played out there. You can either replay t6 or play out t7 with the other card in hand instead of discarded.

116

Really I don’t think it’d go a lot different, I’d kill TB with the Mox + Hyperion (leaving it on 1hp), Vir still kills Skele, Seer maybe hits the base or tech 2, you end up icing the Hyperion with Ghoul anyway. Not having the tower I can’t kill Garth, which is what I really need to do

If anything I think backing up to turn 5 where I don’t worker (so I have some float), SQL glaxx, and Lookout KotC, that might have made a difference. But most likely I think I’m starved anyway.

That’ll be game! GG WP

Had I been thinking a little more and teched OSx2 instead of Hivex2, perhaps there’s a chance I had that one (as I could put Vandy away right before the meta) but it’s really very critical to be able to do that. I suppose perhaps Golgort would be decent at ensuring Demons don’t survive, maybe I need to try that. I’ll see about starting a new for one for us later today or tomorrow.

Any thoughts?

132

Sac the weak is incredibly annoying for purple, but Imp and Shadow Blade are critical for Keeping Purple Down™.

I will say, Hive can’t really be gotten rid of by Black in any easy way, but it just causes a base race. I don’t interact with it, and you cant deal with my heroes after Meta, so we just end up trading blows.

133

Yeah that was my thought, it’d be tough to bother with, but it also is a ton of gold to spend on nothing that counters Meta, which is a true win card here. I have real struggles getting heavy hitting blockers down (that can stick) in front of a tower.
