Man I got hosed by being overly cautious. I could’ve just left Illusion out of patrol and had a Vigor Adept ready to roll here. I think my best course of action is to kill off Quince and bring in Grave with Reversal, so I can keep Duck away. That unfortunately hoses Hallucination next turn, but I gotta recover somehow. What I really need is a wincon though.

@bansa’s turn!

Very nice! I was regretting the edit seconds after posting. :slight_smile: somehow forgot about reversal threat when I was editing. Is Grave in the back line?

If Troq attacks SQL and dies before he deals damage to Adept, does he still deal 1 damage to base? @FrozenStorm @zhavier @charnel_mouse

25

Yes, the condition on dealing the damage is “attacks”. Not attacks and lives, not attacks and deals damage even; just “attacks”

wow what an ending…

GG! What a game. Was expecting free speech but ferocity was very effective stalling move against stampedes. WP!

GG, good stuff!! I was really happy I could get Vigor Adept + Ferocity set up, but I just didn’t have an efficient enough deck to keep cycling that indefinitely and also have a payload to win the game.

I also really feel like my idea of bringing out Quince for mirrors early on was just, too ambitious and gave you too much ground.
