Casual hardy83 (mono purple) vs NikoBolas (mono white)

I really like Versatile Style :slight_smile:

gg - although Iā€™m not really satisfied with my game - thought that should work out better/faster :wink: I was really quick with that spec in a three player game last weekā€¦ but seems like it was because the other two left me alone and concentrated on each otherā€¦

but yes, Iā€™d really like to play another oneā€¦ need some sparring tooā€¦ but now Iā€™d like to play with mono blueā€¦ (still donā€™t like to mix up colorsā€¦) random.org says 61ā€¦ - :frowning: will I start again?

22

I got a 15, looks like youā€™re up. But honestly if you would prefer to go second, I can play first. Itā€™s all the same to me :wink:

23

ā€¦no, itā€™s okā€¦ then i got something to blame my loss on :wink:

I am surprised you went for surplus over Tech II!

Edit: Jailā€™s destruction doesnā€™t harm his base.

31

Actually, the Jail is a stand-alone building. Unlike Add-ons and Tech buildings, card buildings donā€™t deal damage to base when destroyed. (:

Ahh damn, I misremembered then! Thanks for the help :wink:

33

ā€¦yeah, as I said: tough decissionsā€¦ not going for Tech IIā€¦ but what if I got the building but donā€™t draw cards to build Tech II units?

ā€¦now again tough decissionsā€¦ so many nice and nasty things to doā€¦ in the end I decided to go for Graveā€¦ but at the expense of not having enough gold for a workerā€¦ :frowning:

question: Bigby 's armor from Elite Training absorbed one damage on my turn, when I attacked Graveā€¦ do I have the 1 armor again on your turn?

35

So, I believe the armor only exists once, when you cast the spell. When itā€™s broken it doesnā€™t get refreshed.

The bigger problem is that without a heroā€™s hall or tech II building, you canā€™t summon a second hero!

36

oh shitā€¦ sorry! just used the history function of my google spreadsheet to recover the version before the turnā€¦ so iā€™ll change my turn! then i donā€™t have so many options, but still something nastyā€¦ one moment :wink:

AND SORRY AGAIN! Thanks for doublecheck :slight_smile:

37

ā€¦so thatā€™s my moveā€¦ yeah maybe i should have gone for tech II before surplusā€¦ anywayā€¦ if i canā€™t have tech II, i wonā€™t let you :wink:

sorry mate, but i think now itā€™s my turn to remind you that your tech II building isnā€™t operational this turn through injunction. and i believe you neither can summon a second heroā€¦ :wink: am i right?

Hahah!! You are correct!!! I will fix that turn :wink: Youā€™d think that after reminding you, hearing you say ā€œNo tech II for you eitherā€, and thinking about all that I wouldnā€™t make a similar mistake, but here I am!
