Sorry. My reply will be delayed. I have covid, thinking is painful/hard right now, and the PaxLovid actually makes me sleeperi.
Get better
Get better soon, @keybounce Iām crossing my fingers for you.
Either way Iām going to start the new round somewhere soon. But obviously you will not have to play two games in parallel as only one of you will proceed to the next round.
Hey @keybounce any update from your side? Hope youāre doing better by now?
Hey @keybounce I really hope that you are doing fine!
At the same time I have to make see for the tournament to progress. Hence Iām going to rule @Unity to have won this game unless we receive any feedback from you until 12 oāclock CEST tomorrow (Monday).
I was really hoping for you to finish this game normally, but we have to go onā¦
(As Iām not going to be allowed to post four times in a row in this thread Iāll have to edit the final outcome into this reply unless somebody else replies here in between)
Edit:
So unfortunately here it is. According to the rules about:
Iām going to rule that @Unity is the winner of this match. As there is no way ever for this match to fall back into the other direction it is a way easier decision for me. Thanks a lot for participating in this tournament @keybounce it was a pleasure. And obviously the most important aspect: all the best for your recovery!
PS: Iāve never seen a match where present actually requires tech 3 for winning as it has so much burst with tech 2 together with maxband max flicker and TD. With one Hyperion on the table a single TD is all you need to transform the Hyperion into 15 Hyperion damage for only 7 Gold in case of a battle suit being on the table. Itās even 20 damage it you get your max to maxband. Also TD into omegacron really is bad news for any opponent being slightly behindā¦
Sorry. Iām actually getting back to you now. I ā¦ <sigh>
As for Tech 3, my tech 3 is one turn faster ā as soon as I remember it onto the board, it does its thing without needing to wait a turn to tap. So I did not count myself out just yet.
EDIT:i still have covid. My symptoms are down to stuffed nose, post nasal drip, and voice going dead. See if the doctor tomorrow morning can give me anything or not.
Ok, I may be officially out, but lets see how this plays out

Thoughts
ā¦ Ugh, the chain of memories is broken :-).
Ready or not will delay him a turn.
ā¦ that, and the lost tech building, give me basically a one turn lead to tech 3.
(Remember, ready or not means your units do NOT UNTAP)
Really? Let me point out that I could have ā I reliazed this misplay after posting that ā I could have remembered a yesterdayās golgart. At that point, the shimmer ray hits the squad leader twice, golgart (still starts the turn in play, as it arrives when the time rune comes off rememberer) takes out the tech building, and gets a another turn/time rune.
Donāt count pastās memory trick out too quickly.
Great to have you back!
This unfortunately is not how it works. During your opponents turn you cannot make any choices and hence all effects that would require choices just fizzle.
Please do note that your tech 1 also is down
Pretty sure his tech 1 is still alive, just damaged.
No remembering on opponentās turn though, thatās true.
No remembering on enemy turns? ā¦ UGH.
Well, that makes rememberers not nearly as good as I thought.
Right, Iāll get a redo tomorrow ā¦ and maybe I canāt salvage this then ā¦
(EDIT: Seriously, I thought I read in the rules question thread that yes, you do remember something each time a rune is removed, even on enemy turns.)
no. you canāt. all cards that require a choice fizzle during the opponentās turn because you canāt make any. Itās their turn.

Max is missing. Is he in the patrol zone or backline?
whoops

Ok. I need that card bonus if you attack. Max is in the background, not on the front line. Seer is the suicide unit for your 3/3.
EDIT 2: Seer is actually a 3/1 thanks to battle suits.
Sorry forgot your Ready or not. Have to redo my turn.

Minor correction on āeconomyā last turn ā deck had one more card in it after reshuffle (a card previously teched in was not present in the shuffle by accident); missing card placed back into deck.
