Orpal does damage as -1 runes, so cal now has 2 of those, and is a 2/3

CarpeGuitarrem · November 30, 2016, 3:31am

Sorry about that! Thanks for the reminder.

lettucemode · November 30, 2016, 4:04am

Argagarg can’t buff heroes I tried to do that myself not too long ago.

EricF · November 30, 2016, 4:21am

Oops, sorry about missing that.

CarpeGuitarrem · November 30, 2016, 4:24am

Arg! Well, at least this time I can easily fix things around. I’ll swap the buffs between Water Elemental and Calamandra, so Arg will buff Water Elemental and Forest’s Favor on Cal.

EDIT: the immediate impact of this is that Cal takes 1 more damage from Orpal, therefore one more -1/-1.

lettucemode · November 30, 2016, 4:59am

Looks good, ty.

I’m pretty sure this is wrong. Cal takes one more damage, but Forest’s Favor removes the -1/-1 rune she previously had, so she should still finish with 2 -1/-1 runes, and a 2/3 statline.

CarpeGuitarrem · November 30, 2016, 8:55am

Ah! Right you are. I’ll make that adjustment, but it doesn’t change my turn at all.

Sorry, I really should just manually track runes or something.

cstick · November 30, 2016, 2:31pm

The wisp doesn’t get buffed by Midori’s midband because it has resist 1.

CarpeGuitarrem · December 1, 2016, 3:15am

Aw, cripes. That’s a big one.

Hold on while I figure things out and see if I can still make this work. I’m probably just going to run Cal into a Rambasa Twin and use Wisp to kill the Skeleton Javelineer.

lettucemode · December 1, 2016, 3:51am

Everything looks right except Arg should be a 5/7 from killing Jaina. Am I good to go?

lettucemode · December 1, 2016, 4:04am

Gonna assume yes.

edit: I just realized that your Wisp would still be alive too. But it doesn’t change my turn since it can’t patrol from attacking and dies to the Abom anyway.

So I realized that technically Wisp would’ve survived thanks to the +1/+1, but Abomination kills it anyway. (Sorry; keeping track of all these buffs and debuffs is tricky!)

I’m awarding this match to lettucemode based on board position, but please finish it out, because it could be pretty close!

No problem, I’m having trouble keeping it straight too

CarpeGuitarrem · December 1, 2016, 11:25pm

I think this is where I concede, actually. Abomination kinda shut me down something fierce! Not even Moss Ancient is enough to let me catch up. I also leaned too heavily on my OTK combo. I got so excited about Moss Ancient buffed by Might of Leaf and Claw that I didn’t sustain myself enough elsewhere. And I had another MoLaC ready to go because of Versatile Style, but eesh I had nothing to earn back those runes with.

lettucemode · December 3, 2016, 4:49pm

Alright, gg WP @EricF

Yea the turning point was definitely the VS + abom turn. Felt like I was scrambling to hold on before then. I definitwly need to get better at playing defensively with this team, all my p2 games have been very tough. Thanks for the match!
