[Casual] Akiata (MonoPurple) vs codexnewb (MonoGreen)

Oh, yep, absolutely. Sorry, let me reshuffle patrollers.

OK, edit complete. Hyperion not in play. Vir to SQL, Max to Scavenger. Also, Void Star was not listed as in play, which I have correct. My apologies!

@codexnewb’s turn.

ALso, void star will die due to the anti air from huntress combined with the tower damage.

Derp - totally forgot AA from Huntress. Gee, that alters the turn significantly… let me rethink here.

Really sorry for the errors, got a bit carried away - lot options with Purple! Here’s a summary of changes, I’ve edited my turn (again).

Not boosting void star, and not adding a worker (so I have $5).
Hyperion trades with Huntress to prevent her AA.
Play Tricycloid for 5, and shoot your base x3.
Then Temporal Distortion Void Star in for Tricycloid which breaks your Tech II.

ill need potent basilisk.

Oh man, I was so close to killing Midori with Tricycloid last turn! But then I saw that if it fired on your base, a boosted Void Star could win the game on my next turn, I did that instead. Kinda delighted that you took it down, lol! GAME ON! :smiley:

I may be missing something, but I think your base is on 9 hp. In my turn 7, your tech III was broken, but in your turn 8, I don’t think the base’s hitpoints were updated.

Ah, good catch, thank you @Legion! Cala’s midband is tough to remember (but I’m thinking this’ll help).

I’ve edited my turn to have Max trade with Merfolk Prospector instead of Tricycloid firing at him.

@Akiata

for your eyes only

you had lethal. No worker. Now on tryc. Max kills prosp. Tryc+hype+ 1rune kill base

@Legion

Thing is, I only drew Now! after playing and attacking with Hyperion. And I needed to deal with the MP patroller before attacking with Hyperion so that she/he/it could break a tech building. When I drew it I did think about maybe not hiring a worker and instead casting it on the Tricycloid, but as I was already ret-conning my turn I thought it best to stick to my original intent where possible. It certainly did pain me to discard Now! though!

I don’t think I have lethal this turn!

  • I can just afford to summon Prynn, maxband and cast Rewind, but I don’t have anything left to attack with after that.
  • Can’t summon Max to play Temporal Distortion because he died on my last turn and is still on cooldown.
  • If I could manage to draw Void Star I can’t play it because I don’t have the correct Tech II building.
  • And even if I build a Tech Lab to hope to play Void Star next turn, I don’t think I can prevent stealthed Cal from breaking it.

So instead of winning right now, I have to think about not losing right now.

  • Gotta stop the T-Rex coming out, so destroying Verdant Tree is a priority.
  • Don’t think there’s a good way for me to play Void Star from my hand next turn, so I’ll keep the Tower for now.

Sorry for the slow posting - I’m travelling for work this week, so will not be able to post as frequently.

Ok - I think I might have this solved. It took a bit of card draw shennanigans to pull off - so I hope there aren’t any errors.

Really close game - definitely my most exciting game of codex yet! Once the horselords started coming out I thought you’d be very tough to spot, but Rewind had a much bigger impact that I expected. GGWP! :slight_smile:

So of course the cards I need for lethal are the only two left in my deck! But that’s ok, I have enough card draw mechanics available to get them out, and enough cash to pay for everything.

@codexnewb’s turn!

it’s wrong cuz mimic would fly.

Yeah, you might have to wind it back and try again when you have time. No rush, I want to finish this game the right way since it’s so epic.

Wandering mimic was my insurance against void star.

1 Like

Ah! Sorry about that. I must admit, I didn’t look too closely at the mimic.

I think I can still do it this turn… basically using Prynn’s time runes to get the card draws I need from Temporal Research, which means Vir can attack AND counting on Void Star being able to overpower the Wandering Mimc, and hit base with leftover damage.
