Water Elemental has Anti-Air, so if you do it in this order, the Spectral Aven will die.
Also Arrest costs 1 more because of the Resist 1 Calamandra’s midband gives to all my units.

223

Ooooh, I forgot about Calamandra’s midband! I will update my turn!

224

I let the Aven die and have foregone Arresting your Elemental though I suspect that gonna be quite painful for me.

225

That certainly changes a few things.

I think this should be 14? It was at 18 and took 4 damage last turn.

Bigby isn’t listed in your post, so I’ll assume he’s in the “in Play” zone and not patrolling?

Bigby is dead, so I highly doubt he can cast Injunction or draw a card.
(Fear from Injunction is precisely the reason I killed him instead of the Tech II building last turn).

234

Oops! I failed to notice that you had killed him!

I have edited my turn to account for my mistake.

235

GG. Oh wow this start - I really felt helpless the first few turns, but once the Chain of Injunctions broke down, I suddenly had a quite healthy board to work with. (Thanks, Water Elemental!)

236

Yeah! I really dislike that Law doesn’t have any flying until Tech III so I have a hard time dealing with Midori. Additionally, Calamandra’s ability to get Stealth so easily makes things difficult. I’m not certain what the proper approach to defeat mono-green is but I suspect it’s not Law. It’s probably Peace, but Truth could work depending on green player’s choices. Anywho, I rolled an 8 for the next one.

237

Still, that delay in my Tech II for 3 turns was very impressive.

I noticed that Blue has absolutely no anti-air in Tech I - I think most colors have a 3/3 anti-air somewhere in there. So only Spectral Aven and Manufactured Truth are options early on. It seems like Injunction would be a good way to keep Tech II flyers form doing anything, but I guess you can’t rely on having it in hand every time you need it and it’s quite expensive to keep up over and over again.

Have you considered combining just Bigby and his spells with another spec? Or will that turn out too expensive?

Anyhow, I rolled a 6, so you get to go first!

238

Yeah, the anti-air capabilities are basically restricted to some very fragile strategies. I have to be better at using Manufactured Truth.

I have considered it but it always seems like it’s just a split focus. I probably just don’t grasp the strategy cleanly enough to make good decisions. :stuck_out_tongue:

239

It seems you have posted your empty “Turn 0” instead of your opening.

240

I’m not certain how that happened. I’ll see if I can’t fix that.
