CAFS 2016: cstick ([Demonology]/Law/Anarchy) vs. Drakona ([Fire]/Blood/Finesse)

Strategy Thoughts

Crap, crap, crap, no. What I should have done is build my tech 2 to give him another target and another thing to worry about. It’s not even a bluff, those leaping lizards could help me, desperate for gold as I am here. Unless I’m very lucky I’ll be too far behind next turn to even try that.

Thoughts

I could have sent Zane at her base instead of breaking the tower again. That would have put her to 6, which would guarantee death next turn unless she killed one of my heroes. I’m still wary about something like Flame Arrow, though, so I broke the Tower to make sure she can’t kill my heroes. I think she should be dead two turns from now.

Re Strategy Thoughts Above

. . . Ah. That’s what he’d have done. I’d have lost it right there

Effin’ awesome.

Thank you! I won’t waste your time any further with a losing game.

Thank you very much for your time and your brilliance! Enjoyed it very much. Good luck in the rest of the tournament.

Good game. Go win next week.

One thing I noticed from reading your thoughts is that you wanted to Flame Arrow Vandy on turn 3. Even if you had drawn the Flame Arrow, you wouldn’t have been able to kill Vandy because she has resist 1.

Oh crap, I didn’t notice that! I thought it was unlikely you’d leave me a possible way to drop her. :smiley:

Man, I had read about that attack yesterday morning when reading articles on the black deck, and thought I was prepared for it, but that has got to be the most polished form in existence. Sheer art, man. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the complement. If you’d like to see another take on Metamorphosis, you can check out this game I played during RACE.

Oh neat, Judgement Day! I see he held up longer than I did against a similar assault – I guess tokens help. :smiley:

That’s a very cool attack. I’m definitely diggin’ demonology a lot.
