this is only 5 attack, again against 6+1armor. Is something else (BK or Oni) attacking to crumble rook? or would you rather keep them alive?

Also I killed Joey last turnā€¦ so he isnā€™t available to attack, and you should have drawn 1 for his death

103

Nervermind the suicide charge then.

My Thoughts

Locked on maxband Oni while I have an enormous board, this should be GG

105

GG, FrozenStorm.

GG WP. Iā€™m curious why you didnā€™t Jurisdiction for Free Speech, and then kill Rook, on turn 5

107

I didnā€™t realize I could do that. Free Speech negates Two Lives.

108

I forgot the part about negating abilities

Indeed! You also donā€™t need the hero that normally casts the spell out, so you could have still brought Oni out. You would have had to suicide Bigby to do it, and itā€™s possible I would still win out, but it certainly would have severely crippled my offensive capabilities, and bought you a good deal of space to go to tech 3 (where Truthā€™s primary win condition lies)

110

It simply didnā€™t occur to me as an option.

Free Speech is insanely useful for that very abilitiy. No Zane Haste, no Garth fetch on maxband, No Drakk Frenzy or Haste, no Sparkshot, Readiness, Two Lives, Sword runes from Grave, Swift Strike, Invisibility from Vandy, etc etcā€¦ Very powerful

112

Iā€™ve underestimated it.

113

Want to play again?

114

Sure thing, Iā€™ll take a turn 1 tomorrow or later tonight! Same decks or switch it up?

115

Mono black for me. I rolled a 73. Play what you wish it be.

116

By the way, I saw that there is a deck called ā€œnightmare.ā€ What specs make up that deck? Iā€™m mostly just curious.

117

Itā€™s just black but swap out Disease for Finesse.

118

Indeed, It is [Demon]/Necro/Finesse. I think Dreamfire or Zhavier coined the name for the deck when I was playing it and finding a lot of tournament success. It has a lot of different win conditions, the easiest being Graveyard + Finesse Tech 2. Combined with Garth to fetch a Grounded Guide or Maestro, buffed / free fencers from Graveyard and Dark Pact to bring Star-Crossed Starlet to join is very oppressive. You can also run usual Demon or Necro gameplans (Metamorphosis, Gargoyles + two-step, Zarramonde, Lichā€™s Bargain + Bone Collectors, etc), and some crazy T0 Vandy + River shenanigans (Dark Pact + Harmony + Discord / Two Step early on is nasssty)

Main weakness of the deck is no upgrade removal.

The only other decks people have an alternative name for, AFAIK, are:

420 Blazeit - This refers to a [White]/Peace/Finesse deck that has a gimmick infinite combo. You run Peace Tech2, and work towards getting 2x Drill Sergeant + Maxband River, then getting Smoker in hand. River plays smoker for free, and one of the DS can target Smoker with a buff rune to send it back to hand. Thus, infinite +1/1 runes for units. Usually Strength is the White choice, for Birds Nest

Miracle Grow - what I started calling Anarchy/Strength/Growth. Main win condition is Might of Leaf and Claw, activated by Zane, Surprise Attack, and just red starter deck stuff in general (not to mention Birds from Birdā€™s Nest). Also operates well on Blooming Ancients, Strength T2 + Arg buffs, or Anarchy T3, in case the opponent doesnā€™t have upgrade removal (many decks donā€™t!)

119

In that case, Nightmare for me.

120

Fun fun fun :slight_smile: Iā€™ll play Mono Red, seeing as that is the only mono we havenā€™t played yet. I rolled 46, go ahead and kick us off!
