EV can target only patrollers, mox was sidelined.

31

Well that throws a wrench into things. How should we resolve it, @mdn1111?

edit: oh, I played that on turn 3, we’ve taken 2 turns each since then.

32

Simplest option would be for me to sacrifice the Vines at the start of your most recent turn, which would give you a patroller or an extra attack for 2.

33

Also, Young Lightning Dragon was in the Lookout patrol, so it costs 1g for Prynn to trash it.

34

Yeah, I’m fine just taking the last turn over. I’ll put it up quickly. As to the extra gold, do you think it’s fair we just give me one more gold to make up for the two unfairly entangled turns? I feel like I could definitely have gotten 1 gold of value out of those attacks.

Edit: If that seems too subjective, on my turn 4 and 5 you had no blockers and no haste available. I would thus have been attacking your Tech II with Mox, dealing 2 each time. We can set your Tech II to 1 health on my turn to simulate that.

35

I think think the second option makes more sense, if that’s how you would have used Mox on the turns you should have had it. Attacking Rook with the Mox on your most recent turn probably frees up enough gold to timelock my dragon.

Awkwardly, neither of my specs’ T3 units can block a ground attacker.

40

GG! The lack of a blocking Tech III was something that I realized last turn; I had been planning to try to destroy the building before I realized that only the heroes and their ultimate spells could hurt me.

That was a very fun game. I particularly enjoyed the many origins of your Rook, particularly in contrast to the way that my Bigby literally never did anything. In fact, Law as a whole did nothing for me this whole game; I should clearly consider a different third spec.

I’d be happy to play more if you’re up for it.
