I have AAA in my opening hand, but I never get more than one attached block. Nevertheless Troq keeps up with deGrey, trading damage back and forth until the endgame sequence: 27 vs 29 HP, Eagle Totem undercuts Pilebunker, Troq gets thrown but stays alive with a Joker, wakes up with a Q for the win.
Hobusu adjusts and completely wrecks the bull, wins with 70 HP remaining.
deGrey gets the best of the early game, takes me to 52 HP before I land a hit. But oh, those hits. Two combat wins later, deGrey is at 40. From there, not even losing both my jokers to Shenanigans can derail the Zane Train.
This game I draw both my jokers early, and heaps of good attacks - so of course the game comes down to the wire. But in the end, Oni has a 1-card hand and nothing he can do is all that scary, so he dies.
A brawl and a half. Comes down to 3 hp vs 3 hp, 3 cards vs 4 in hand, Oni’s 9-throw barely outspeeds mine.
Nopethebard v Ivan
0-4 <
Couldn’t really get anything going and Time Stop didn’t let me build a hand either <
Came close but Geiger damage won out <
My attempt to counterpick Geiger fails. <
Traded Q with Cycloid. Otherwise more of the same
This was a curbstomp. I’m looking forward to 19XX significantly more than I was. Nevertheless, you won fair and square Ivan. That’s probably just the salt talking. Good luck in your future matches!
Pretty normal games all around. Most notably in the 3rd match I hit with Beast Unleashed! And in the 5th match, monorail nearly kills me, but sorta messed up the combo… I barely scrap by with 1 HP left, hitting with Eagle Totem and mixing up with Throw - Attack right after.
I do apologize for switching characters after winning at the start though. By the time I realized it, it was already too late. So, we played it out.
