Think

Flagbearer is an odd choice here. Either frozen drew poorly, or imp hit a good target, or theyā€™re really afraid of deteriorate. Either way, Iā€™m not attacking. Letā€™s just sit back for now.
I suspect they will aim for growth tech 2, which is unfortunate as blood doesnā€™t match up super well into growth. Sadly, neither of my other tech 2 plans are very good at all here, and I have no hero plan. I am beginning to suspect this deck is incredibly one dimensional, and Iā€™m not very good at piloting that singular dimension.

As expected, their board is getting rather scary while mine is not so much. It was vital to build my tech 2 this turn before my tech 1 is destroyed, so weā€™ve done that, and I dunno maybe Iā€™ll just aim for tech 3. Letā€™s see what happens.

My Thoughts

MoLaC online, Graveyard nearly full, I think I about have this in the bag.

EDIT I posted my turn before re-reading Pirate Gang Commanderā€™s text, I didnā€™t remember it being great but figured I should take it seriously as a threat JIC. WOW, breaking tech2 does nothing hereā€¦ I suppose I break tech 3? Or the graveyard and reduce chances of extra crashbarrow? I think just break the tech3, I have cheat mode on now for my unitā€™s HP moving forward so the crashbarrow is tough but not insurmountable. Graveyard will go away on itā€™s own. I should also be more afraid of the sure Barrow than the unsure Kidnapping, get a card for that BA

13

Bigger threat than I remembered, especially coupled w/ the graveyard. I was gonna break the tech2 last turn but literally no point to that if you had PGC. Based on your cards played Iā€™m guessing you didnā€™t have itā€¦

So with this new MoLaC, it will wear off at my next upkeep, yeah? So wisp will die?

My Thoughts

That really hurtā€¦ I may not be able to keep up enough attack, even with new MoLaC :frowning: gonna lose wisp next turn at upkeep

14

Iā€™m going to ask a question here, and I want to be clear that I understand the intent and I am not asking for a rules change this game. This is just a question of phrasing/rules terminology.
Probably debate about this in the balance change thread actually. I dunno, it just crossed my mind.

The current might of leaf and claw has an activated ability that grants units and heroes +3/+3 until next upkeep. Do activated abilities affect things that come into play after they are activated? Iā€™m trying to think of other examples from codex but Iā€™m coming up short.

Anyway I know the intent of the card is that it does so of course we will play like that. I just had the thought that we might need to change the phrasing or something, or maybe Iā€™m just very wrong.

Turn coming soon.

I think the comp is like feral strike and I believe that affects units or heroes you play after, right?

16

I guess it is interesting that the buffed units can die inbetween turns. Not sure if itā€™s enough though. Still feels unwinnable.
Also I think your base should beā€¦ on 16. I did 4 damage to it on my turn, and then 2 more on your turn, and it was at 19 before that. Then you healed it for 3.

Wellā€¦ itā€™s not as bad as I thought. Itā€™s still really bad though. Their lack of haste might be to my advantage thoughā€¦ they still only get a max attacks of board+1. Letā€™s hope they donā€™t have the +1 and I can start wreaking havocā€¦

Feral strike? You mean ferocity?

18

Right you are TY for catching that, and TY for also (I think) understanding the intent of MoLaC to buff units and heroes I control, so Tendy doesnā€™t just keep those stats when you kidnap it. I was operating on this assumption at least :slight_smile:

I actually really like this version of MoLaC and it feels a lot more beatable. +3/+3 is a big buff but that it falls off and isnā€™t +5/+5 makes it a lot harder to build a big board, plus not getting immediate activation on it. You have to earn it much more now and it isnā€™t a ā€œjust loseā€ card like even some tech3s are, youā€™re still battling. I think this one is far from decided, I have this very fat deck to work through with some questionable tech choices!

Yeah this is tough, Iā€™m way behind on econ and donā€™t have access to haste like Bryce doesā€¦ I also didnā€™t tech wisely, Blooming Elm or Stampede would have been WAY more helpful than those Pandas right nowā€¦

Well letā€™s hope I can keep up enough offense to stall until I can draw a finisherā€¦ At least Iā€™ll have Midori as a flyer now, and Timely Messenger cycles in next turn. Maybe build surplus next turn? I need more things using MoLaCā€¦

My Thoughts

Now itā€™s just hoping and prayingā€¦ even with Bloom Iā€™m one shy of breaking straight face, so best I think I can do is kill a bugblatter early to maximize my own health, Dinosize x2 and hope Stampede or Dinosize gets drawn for me to finish the game before I die
ā€¦
Well fuck this is troubling

GG WP! UGH blood, the worst ^.^

I think if Iā€™d teched smarter for Stampede or Elm or Dinosize instead of the Pandas this past cycle, I might have pulled it off. Alas, base damage OP! But this is definitely an indication to me MoLaC is in a good spot, powerful but very beatable!

@zango close but no cigar, I was 1 short last turn of lethal

Yeah when you mentioned things dying on upkeep I realised itā€™s not as strong as I thought. Itā€™s still really hard to break through, and I think a lot of specs would struggle very hard.
