2HD: Team 1 Blue/Purple

jasonwocky · October 19, 2016, 2:25pm

Not the entire board… we still have the Mox

Marto · October 19, 2016, 10:45pm

Honestly, we kinda foresaw that. The real pain is imho the Pillage on top of it (getting Scortch + Bombaster + Pillage + Deteriorate on the same turn ).

Do we turn Mox into a Twilight Baron with MTruth and try to lower the pressure ? This means playing a Hero though. If we do so, Worker + Hero + Mtruth means having only 2 spare gold, so if we go that way, I suggest playing Bigby and stashing BK.

Anyway, we need to tech fully defensive. It appears Tax Collector would have been great after all…

Playing BS and Glaxx means we lose on Sacrifice the Weak and/or Hooded Executionner. I strongly support another solution - Glaxx and Fading Argonaut. 3 ATK Glaxx + Tower are enough to kill any attacker. An SQL Glaxx seems to be a good option, especially if an Argonaut backs it (in Tech/Scav) ?

For the same reason, we must play Traffic D. Immune to any Deteriorate draw, it protects BK if we decide to play him.

As for teching, I’d go for another Stewardess for Purple, and maybe a Seer for cheap blocking, or an Origin Story just in case; for Blue, depends on whether we choose Bigby + Truth or BK. In the first case, our turn 4 will cost quite much, so i’d go for second Cadet and Tax Collector. If we play BK and traffic D, we might want to build tech II quickly, so 2x Garrison might be an option, or Garrison + Cadet if you feel lucky (I don’t)

Manufactured truth can only change “your” unit, meaning a blue unit.

FrozenStorm · October 20, 2016, 1:40am

I think @Marto has a good plan here, go chump behind big tech 1s, tech in stewardess + seer and tax collector + oc or garrison. We need a little space to get blue on tech 2.

I don’t think we’ll likely need origin story next cycle, death rites isn’t likely and jaina is easy enough to kill in combat.

jasonwocky · October 20, 2016, 3:08am

Seer seems good if we’re thinking of going to Tech 2 for Purple soon, but if we’re not spending that 4g in the near future, why not something beefier?

FrozenStorm · October 20, 2016, 4:29pm

I’ve seen it used to great effect at tech 1 + Prynn, though against Red / Black it is probably less effective. More so I think it’s nice as it is low gold cost. If we stay at tech 1 awhile, using Prynn + TResearch could help us flood patrol and keep our buildings safe. I think it’s likely to trade up in patrol, and it provides us an alternate plan for our gold, which I always like to have in the deck.

I also think of all the ways for Purple to spend gold and NOT rush for tech 2, leveling Prynn + getting some card advantage to flood patrol is about as good a use of resources as we could in this matchup.

Against Skeletons, we drop Stewardess. Against something bigger, we drop Seer + Suits / other chumps. Seem reasonable?

zhavier · October 20, 2016, 4:40pm

What happened to this game? Is it still going?

FrozenStorm · October 23, 2016, 7:40pm

Fairly certain it’s still going, just in a bit of a weekend lull I imagine

zhavier · October 24, 2016, 11:31am

Yea, was bound to happen eventually, your turn is being posted shortly.

It would be great if we could post this turn sunday, Oct 30. But really your deadline is halloween…

FrozenStorm · October 28, 2016, 6:31pm

Jeeez… Red and Black are like the bully duo at middle school, beat you 'til you’re blue and purple then steal your lunch money…

Seriously they have 4 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 (but really Garth will have 3) damage on the board? Didn’t go down cards, got a tech 2 building, cleared us out AND dented our tower??

Purple can’t nullcraft pick Zane b/c of the Taxman, so I guess its Stewardess to peel skeleton, Fargo to help block, and… float 2 gold for tech 2 next turn? Or summon Vir just for extra blocking?

Blue… Plays BK and OC, builds Peace tech 2?

No idea on techs, that was an absolutely brutal turn and I feel like it’s just going to get worse.

Barrelfish · October 28, 2016, 6:41pm

Not sure if this is what you meant, but Nullcraft could actually fly over the patrol to kill Zane. It would just die to anti-air damage in the process.

FrozenStorm · October 28, 2016, 6:43pm

I meant it’s not a great trade for us (2g + card for zane kill)

jasonwocky · October 28, 2016, 8:00pm

What’s in our hand / economy right now? Tough to piece together across turns.

Marto · October 28, 2016, 10:24pm

Nota: if we bounce techn with Stewardess and Arrest Taxman, we can kill Zane with Mox.

I really don’t know whether we should build and (try to) protect a Peace tech II, hoping to draw an early Garrison and wall off, or try to remove tempo as much as we can with Quince/Bigby + Arrest + Cadet + BK, discard 2, draw 4, and then build tech II on next turn, just before reshuffling.
