Oh, yeah, I didn’t even notice that the Tower-injured skellies are done now. That worked out better than I thought. Big bad Garth still scares me though…but I’ll deal with him next turn.

42

i think it’s good game! looking forward to the next… but now i’ll have to rest a bit from the countless battles… :slight_smile:

43

Alright, man, let me know when you want to go again. I just ordered the Black/Blue set from Amazon, should arrive in a day or two, I’m looking forward to trying some Necro and Demon shenanigans.

44

hey, i see in the forum that you are quite busy… but if you’d like to go for another match anytime: i wanna try demon/truth/strength and got a 9 (!) - i guess you go first…

45

btw: if you prefer a matchup again mono color i’d go for green!

46

Not so busy now that I lost terribly in one match. :slight_smile: I’ll go with Anarchy/Past/Discipline. @hardy83

More aggressive than I usually go, but starting with red that’s part of the game. Certainly workering Bloodburn in my next hand. Figure hero/Tech I/Mad Man? next turn.

"

47

going down in hand size first turn - quite agressive, seems you play red like it should be played :wink: rook’s definitely a target… but i can’t see any good option to leave no target to kill for you… pressure from turn 1 on…

one question/remark… if i could kill your nautical dog in tech-slot, you’d have to reshuffle 4 tech 0 cards and draw again, right? so your chances to draw tech I in t3 go down, as the first 3 cards you’ll draw will be tech 0. am i right?

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about that, but I figure I need to get some early damage, and hopefully will be able to make up a card soon. I think you’re correct about the effect of Technician…but I didn’t see any way you’d be able to gank the dog right now.

I would have preferred to use the Mad Man, but wouldn’t have the money for Tech I in that case. Probably worker Bloodburn, bring out Bloodrage Ogre and maybe Charge him if there’s a really prime target out there (though that’ll be expensive).

my chance to have deteriorate in my starting hand was 50:50 :wink: (i guess - i’m not so good in statistics…)

i have to go to work now… but i’ll have time there to think about my turn and post :stuck_out_tongue:

Finally I’ll get my Stewardess next turn so I should be able to bounce a patroller. With the Sparring Partner I’ll hopefully be able to set up a nice attack round. Good chance I’ll get Reversal also. Origin Story might come up as well, and I’ll be able to get Prynn out. I suspect the Graveyard might vomit up an Imp again.

oh shit, i forgot versatile style… which wouldn’t be so nice for mythmaking… PLUS i was thinking of maybe teching EotC? (also against stealthy monkeys)

yeah well, i know codex is supposed to be a responsive game, but i really want to go down this path of truth with the cool upgrades… if he techs in versatile style - so it be…

"

55

Blug. My Stewardess of the Undone FINALLY gets in my hand…when you have no Tech 0 to bounce. Plus, I really think that Ardra’s Boulder should count as a building. I mean, it’s as big as a building, and people make houses out of stone.

This was probably a wasteful turn, given that I ended up without Workering…but I did clear your board, so hopefully it was worth it.

Ignore this, look below.

56

To throw your sword with Grave you’ll have to exhaust him! no more attacking or patrolling :stuck_out_tongue:

…but i think you can attack and patrol or attack and use rune…

BUT: how does grave hit Boulder for 6 damage (5 (3+2) hp + 1 a)? - sry, i didn’t mark the armor in my turn…

57

Ah, I thought the 5 included the armor because I thought Mythmaking was only +1/+1. I was going to attack then use the sword, just typed the wrong order, but I need that extra damage to smash the boulder. OK, I’ll have to run through that again.

58

OK, I think this works.

i was not 100% sure about the timing of technician, but i suppose i draw my card the moment spectral hound died, right? at least i did it like that… so i had to reshuffle my discard pile, draw for technician and then move graveyard and the four buried units to discard…

got your stewardess now? :wink:

Very costly turn, and my next turn is basically going to be Tech III/Attack to rebuild my hand. Fortunately that Reversal will keep Jandra occupied next turn, and he’ll be restricted to Tech I. Zane will probably be able to kill SOMETHING.
