Lol this game is off to a great start isn’t it :wink: Yes, just the FArgo facing down Jandra, and I fixed the leftover buildings from copy-pasta, feel free to proceed @bravo840 (wait who’s the one who’s new to PbP again?) :wink:

@FrozenStorm I seem to have Thieving Imp in both in the Patrol zone and the “In Play”. Obviously I only have one Thieving Imp but for future turns, it is standard practice to list everything in the “in play zone” or “everything that isn’t patrolling”?

12

in play means everything that isn’t patrolling. Things should only be listed once.

13

The idea is to make it clear what’s patrolling, and what’s in the backline, so listing things twice does make that a bit ambiguous. Perhaps we should rename the “In Play” section as “Backline”, do you think that’d be clearer?

(BTW I’ll take my next turn assuming the Imp is patrolling)

Imp is annoying lol. I’m going to double up on Brave Knight, grab a tower (just short on that this turn…), and continue forward with the anarchy plan. Nullcraft will help make good trades, Oni is killable here with Drakk + Bloodlust but I want to keep my buildings healthy… If he goes hard for Drakk I’ll just grab Origin Stories. Maybe I should have done that pre-emptively? Oh well. He did skip tech 1, which makes me think Lich’s Bargain or Speed of the Fox or Bloodlust is coming.

We both seem to have our Turn count wrong. This was my Turn 3 (incorrectly titled P1T4) . The next turn you post should be your Turn 3.

Y’Know there’s a lot of different ways I could go here (tech 2, max oni, tower) but I’ve never had an opening to build a surplus this early… He has zero board so this is a no-risk move. Since I didn’t draw the BKs, I’ll just generate some card advantage for myself and tech up next turn, still in great shape! I do need to be a little cautious that I don’t give him too much room to get the Blood combo off, but honestly I’m not even that worried, I have command of the board and if I think he’s going to get Garth maxbanded for a crashbarrow fetch on turn 5, I’ll just get turtled up next turn with my Knights or even maxing out Oni!

Yeah, I must have misread your post or something. You have the turns right, I didn’t. Don’t forget your gold from Fading Argonaut (scavenger) forgot to note that in my turn description.

I gots it :wink: I believe I discard at random, THEN draw for surplus (even though I’d rather do it the other way), as that’s the order in which the events occur. LMK if you think otherwise

So curiously, he doesn’t max Drakk out? He had the gold to do it… Drakk midband, crashbomber, bloodlust, kill Oni and FArgo, heal on maxing out and not die from Bloodlust… I think that was a huge mistake and a bad trade on his part. Now I am free to just tech up and win on Gunships pretty handily I think. Even if he goes to T2 Blood next turn, I’ll be able to trade off nicely on board and likely keep his tech buildings down, if not immediately than shortly after, and I’ll be trashing Graveyard as soon as I can just in case I fail, which will slow down his barrow busting considerably. I’m almost tempted to bring Prynn out here for an extra body, just in case I need more to attack with right away, but I think I’ll be fine with just Marauder and I’d rather have the gold to make sure I get my tech 3 as soon as I can.

I’m pretty in the clear here; go to tech 3 next turn, cycle up with Prynn, win the game. He doesn’t have the gold to max Garth AND play crashbarrow, so he’d have to play two of them from hand to get through my patrol, I’m blocking a glider so no tech kill that way, I’m rock solid AFAICT.

No Garth Barrow Summon? GG
[/details]

25

I’m going to concede here. Units in hand can’t be played. Summoning heroes to defend is just a stall move for maybe 1 more turn. Even then, I don’t think the rebuilt Tech 1 lives. Well played @FrozenStorm and congratulations on your first win in this tournament.

26

GG WP @bravo840.

I was surprised not to see you fetch a crashbarrow with Garth maxband last turn, and I think your only big misplay was not midbanding drakk on the bloodlust Oni kill so he’d maxband and heal. You didn’t need the imp to make the play, and that money could have got you a lot of pressure.

Best of luck rest of tourney!

27

@FrozenStorm I’m inclined to agree. I think I over valued imp’s discard mechanic relative to keeping a hero on the board. I hope I learned a thing or two this game that I can put into practice in the future. Good luck to you as well.

28

@EricF This is me tagging you to inform you of @FrozenStorm’s win in the first round of the CAFS 2016.
