the spell seems to have been cast for free. apologies if I’m missing something.
I ended up paying for Reteller twice so I just had to make a few little changes to get everything correct!
I’ll definitely fold to that, GG WP! Very cool combo of Quince spells.
I’ll start the next game in a bit.
I like Quince in Yomi and I like Quince in Codex! I remember seeing someone else use Dreamscape + Macciatus to buff units that aren’t normally illusions and it really opened up some possibilities to me so I’ve been playing with that a little bit more. The scribes were a good balance this time because I find Tech II - Truth can be very card hungry.
Another interesting little wrinkle is that Dreamscape prevented me from using Orpal’s maxband a couple of times: can’t finish things off with runes if they die as soon as I target them.
Oh, that IS an interesting wrinkle. It’s a bit like Firehouse in that regard, I suppose.

No Free Speech! I can sword the Newsman, Carrion Curse to discard any copies of Free Speech in flagrant’s hand, then turtle up behind Geiger and Orpal. Then the only thing that could stop my TPoS next turn is Scribe into Free Speech.
Actually, maybe I can dig for TPoS this turn with Geiger’s midband. I’ll try that first.
…
Crap. Nothing with Geiger, and nothing with the Carrion Curse. And now that I think about it, having just one patroller means Grave is vulnerable to Porkhand.
