Thoughts

Strong opener for Legion, and no Ironbark Treant in hand, this is going to be rough. At least I have both spells next turn. Sticking Rook in front as a damage sink, I want to keep as many units alive as I can for turn 3 in case of double Taxman.

OK, going for early Birds and a Crash Bomber. I don’t think I stand much chance in a straight fight, so I’ll conserve gold and try to set up for Drakk to pop in and allow me to get some good counterhits in. Frenzied Birds beat non-frenzied Birds.

Thoughts

Eh, one Taxman is more manageable than two, I guess, but Zane’s causing real problems. Should have gone for the Basilisk. I’ll bring it in now. I’m going to risk not killing the Dog: it means I’m facing more damage on Legion’s turn, but if I can keep him at a lower hand size I might get some more time to stabilise. Crash Bomber in Elite is awkward, but I can’t afford to keep feeding Legion extra gold, and I really don’t want to let him get back to hand parity. He can easily kill Rook here if he wants to, but I could bring Drakk out to help the Bird kill Zane, then play a hasted unit from hand.

Zane survives with 2 health, so you can’t bring in Rook.

Legion · July 24, 2019, 11:53am

lemme rethink then

Legion · July 24, 2019, 12:04pm

@charnel_mouse hmm, i think i will just not summon rook and float 2. turn stays the same. @FrozenStorm do i have to redo the discard draw too?

FrozenStorm · July 24, 2019, 1:40pm

Yes, for any retroactive (post-draw) correction, you should technically re-do any future unknowns (like single card draws or discard/draw steps), so as not to have your future draw influencing the retroactive fix decision.

Your previous turn listed several attacks, whereas this one does not. However, your board state reflects those same attacks. Are you attacking or not?

Legion · July 24, 2019, 5:13pm

gack! I forgot listing the attacks!

Thoughts

I think I want to tech the following, in no particular order: Ogre Recruiter (for runed units), Kidnapping (for Blooming Ancients), Nature Reclaims (to keep Legion honest WRT MoLaC), and Crashbarrow. So let’s say Crashbarrow and Kidnapping first, then Recruiter and Nature Reclaims can come in later once Legion’s had time to set up a bit and there are things to trash/steal.

I was thinking I could bring out midband Drakk, kill Zane with one bird, then have a played unit and the other Bird destroy the Tech II, but the only unit I have to do that is Spore Shambler, so I’d have to skip a worker and Tech II. That seems bad. I’ll just tech up and kill Zane.

… Crashbarrow but no Kidnapping, that’s OK.

You sure, Legion? Unless you heavily invested into Zane spells, I don’t feel like I’m even ahead, let alone enough for a GG. If anything, I feel like I’ve been getting hammered so far.

Legion · July 25, 2019, 10:08am

idkI feel doomed by draak. Let’s play just one turn and see how it goes then.

Thoughts

8 defence + 5 for a Tech building, 13 total. Crashbarrow gives 7, Drakk gives 3, so it’s between Tiny Basilisk and Spore Shambler. Needs to be Tiny Basilisk to be able to overpower properly, I think.

Do I want the Prospector down, too? Zane can show up and kill Drakk whether I stick Prospector in the way or not. Oh, but if I put a Bird in scavenger and Prospector in resist, he has to pay 9 gold to to do it, if he doesn’t have Mad Man or Rambaster in hand. No, he can just shove the SQL Bird and kill the Prospector with his own Bird. I’ll just keep my hand size up. Maybe he’ll just shove the Birds and go for my Tech II instead.
