Teaching the ropes casually: HolyTispon vs. FrozenStorm

Codex Codex play-by-forum
142

Autocard anywhere is awesome, but my problem is typically not necessarily with cards in play but with cards in hand (autocard doesn’t work for me in sheets, for some reason) and with considering cards in codex, or being aware of possibilities (in your deck, codex, or hand). Cards that have been played but are now goen (is it 2 gold? 3? how expensive is it exactly to max each hero. etc.) which just takes time to really sink in.

143

I never considered AA not working in the sheet lol! I suppose that I don’t notice it since I mostly take my turns via the forum, and really only use the spreadsheet to manage card draw and deck/discard state.

If I don’t remember what a card does, I usually just type it into my tech choices blank, and then use the preview window on the right here to hover over it and see the AA preview.

Wow, you’re playing super manually. That’s impressive.

It sucks for mobile, but really isn’t hard at all for me personally on my laptop. I have a copy paste buffer on my Macbook, Flycut, that allows me to go back 40 copy pastes.

I’ve considered overriding the spreadsheet to just conform to my turn structure, but just haven’t taken the time. The script is a lot of string building that isn’t easy to write over

148

I finally understand why sometimes to have a copy paste a turn over an old one. I was very confused as to why that would ever happen. I do like how your version uses the split screen feature of writing draft posts for the forums.

To be honest, if anyone is putting any work into rewriting the script I would probably put it into making the spreadsheet on a website that’s more user-friendly. I don’t expect anyone to spend any time this way but just saying - if anyone were to spend time, that’s what I would think is best to spend time on.

Happy to play again whenever, just lmk what you’d like to play!

I’ll play mono-red against whatever. I don’t know it very well so feel free to play around with whacky decks. I rolled 98 so I guess I’ll go first?

151

I’ll play mono green, I like the standard matchup :slight_smile:

Oops, Zane isn’t midband so I don’t draw. I didn’t use that card so let me just think how it affects my turn.

Edit: I redid my turn. Edited over the previous post. Should be good now.

Well he got a little too much pressure there, but it cost him cards. Putting Tiny B in SQL so no lobber kills, and Centaur in Techn so Zane is less likely to get a card off his death. If he were to move Tiny B with his maxband then attack centaur (and thus, break his units through for a tech building kill), that would really suck, but oh well. No other way for him to break through this defense so grabbing tech 2 units and hoping to tech up next turn

Note that your base is at 15 because the Crash Bomber dealt it 1 damage while dying last turn (which is a shame, should have gone for your tech 1).

That Zane technician draw came out nice…
