Well Iā€™m out of the woods on threat one, but if heā€™s got Metamorphosis now Iā€™m SOL without a tower or other detection options. Also should have put Geiger in Scav.

yep, gg. reacted to threat #1 ok but didnā€™t react to threat #2 fast enough. Does Chronofixer stop Metamorphosis?

31

It stops the leveling up part but not the buffs, I believe. They are still invisible ready beefy jerks

wasnā€™t sure about thatā€¦ good to know, would have helped some, at least.

Original plan was the combo/lock of Origin Story, Chronofixer and Censorship Councilā€¦ Iā€™ve pulled it off a few times but I think that plan is too slow for the type of aggression you put on early, e.g., not hero basedā€¦ it works fine if someone is trying to derp around with Rook and birds or whatever.

I also probably over-teched my terras q counters and should have been more ready for the next thing.

Thatā€™s a decent lock, but it requires both a Tech II and Tech Lab, which means itā€™s not happening until T5 or so, and until then, youā€™re quite vulnerable to rushdown. Also, with the current heroes youā€™re using, your deck doesnā€™t have much in terms of early game pressure, which means the opponent can build up fairly easily.

34

Yeah, definitely seems like itā€™s better against slower specs. None of the heroes are very scary and other than argonauts and origin story bouncing a rook thereā€™s not much for tempo. Part of me wonders if the censorship council is really worth it. Itā€™s almost win-more if you can manage to protect a chronofixer already.

Of the two, Chronofixer seems like the winmore card. If you get a Council out, it limits everything an opponent does, a Chronofixer merely hinders hero based strategies, and is the more vulnerable of the two.

Hmmmm. So keep law/past, then add some spec to provide pressure and some strong units to replace argonaut and stuff like immortal and Hyperionā€¦ or go a whole new direction and use white starter with SnapBack as some hero control and mix up the rest of the line up

37

Feral or discipline seem reasonably early pressure options, as does demonz

38

Youā€™ve got some redundancies. Past and Law both have unit board-wipes. Iā€™m not sure you need Snapback when you have Origin Story. Or, phrased another way, Iā€™m not sure you need Past if you have Snapback and Judgment Day.

Both Censorship Council and Chronofixer are win-more, I think.

You need to be in a really good position before you use either one.

41

In past games the council acted as the win more, and playing origin story then chronofixer was really the turning point, granted both those games were against Rook.
