2HD: Team 2 Red/Black

Red drew Scorch with 3 gold left before making a worker… I assume proceed with Gunpoint Taxman?

Bryce_The_Rice · October 28, 2016, 5:02pm

Technically I guess we could kill the tower with it, but I think worker is more important

Small error where you forgot to charge for the Taxman.

zhavier · October 28, 2016, 7:55pm

Fixed, thanks!

EricF · October 29, 2016, 2:09am

Red will want to grab units next turn. And build a Tech 2, so they can be tech 2 units. We’ll also be summoning Drakk (not this turn, even if Zane dies, but the turn after)
I think Tech 2 Blood, and grabbing an Ogre Recruiter (at a minimum, this will kill the mox, and might be able to steal a Brave Knight by attacking the other squad leader). The second unit should be something cheap, like a Shoddy Glider, or a Land Octopus.

Caphriel · October 29, 2016, 5:55pm

Hmm, really? I was thinking Anarchy, grab either a couple of Disguised Monkeys, or a Monkey and Marauder, then go straight to tech 3. What is your plan to win here?

Grabbing a Brave Knight with an Ogre seems suboptimal since it would bounce to its owners hand.

Defense: 4, 4, 2, 1, 1 // 2, 4

Attack: 2+, 4*, deteriorate, 1+, 2+, 4?

No way to destroy tower without chewing through patrol zone.

8 gold each. Pillage is merely free, pribably not worth the card. Max drakk + BRO is unaffordable without drawing to Nether Drain, again.

Bryce_The_Rice · November 1, 2016, 3:32pm

Well we do have the option of remaxing Garth to do some stuff

Bryce_The_Rice · November 1, 2016, 3:42pm

Hey guys if we play cursed crow and hit their case they both discard

zhavier · November 1, 2016, 3:42pm

That is true, about Cursed Crow.

EricF · November 1, 2016, 4:46pm

I think we should for sure make and sac a skeleton before deciding what else to play. Of course, to do that we need to decide what we’re teching first.

Caphriel · November 1, 2016, 5:29pm

I’m having a really hard time parsing what our CURRENT board state is after their turn.

We have Garth L5 2/3, a 4/2 TB for black, and a disabled GPT for Red, right?

Fetching an Abomination with max Garth kills the Nullcraft and Quince’s Mirror, and shuts down the Mox.

EricF · November 1, 2016, 6:22pm

Doesn’t Abom cost 6?

I’m thinking we tech a Plague Lab & Carrion Crow for Black, and 2 cheap things for Red (Desperation, Lobber, and Chaos Mirror are all good options).

Then draw a card with Garth, and if we hit a Ghoul we can throw Deteriorate, Garth, Baron, and Goul trigger at clearing the squad leaders, then use Lobber to kill the Mirror, max Garth to get back the bird, and end up with this board (after making workers):

L7 Garth (3/4)
Patrolling Cursed Ghoul (4/5)
Patrolling Carrion Crow (3/3) flying
Gunpoint Taxman (3/3)
Lobber (2/1)
Black discarding 3, drawing 3, rs, draw 2. Float 0 gold
Red discarding 2, drawing 1, rs, draw 3. Float and/or spend 6 gold (maybe on a Hero’s Hall or Tower?)

Caphriel · November 1, 2016, 6:53pm

[quote=“EricF, post:96, topic:885”]
Doesn’t Abom cost 6?
[/quote]Oh, five or less. Curses.

Yeah, your plan looks pretty solid. We have a 50% chance of Ghoul, and if we don’t get the Ghoul, we get something potentially better - either Nether Drain to be able to max Garth again and also max Drakk this turn, or Sac the Weak which would be even better.

I’ll have to do the math on what exactly we do in case of those draws later.

For red, I think we’re giving up on tech 2? If so, teching the other Lobber and Chaos Mirror seems good, and then building Hero’s Hall. For Black, teching Cursed Crow seems solid, but I’m not sure about the Plague Lab, not when we don’t have much else spreading -1s around. It’s still not necessarily a bad drop, though. But maybe 2 Cursed Crows would be better.

zhavier · November 1, 2016, 7:43pm

Once tech choices are determined, I’ll tell you what black draws.

Also a note about Plague Lab, it only hits either blue or purple when it arrives, not both. Its tap ability still hits whatever you want though.

I have said this so many times for that exact reason…

Caphriel · November 1, 2016, 10:16pm

Yeah okay, let’s NOT get Plague Lab, probably. Probably either the second Cursed Crow, a Gorgon, or a spell then, for Black.

For Red, I’m fine with Lobber and Chaos Mirror, although I wouldn’t say no to Disguised Monkeys and going Anarchy.

EricF · November 1, 2016, 10:52pm

I worry that we won’t be able to keep that Tower down, and that would severely neuter the utility of monkeys.

Note that sacrifice the weak will basically just hit Nullcraft and Overeager Cadet, so it’s probably not worth playing.
