Thoughts

He’s using Unphase, so I should build a Tower. Is it worth trading my Ironbark for a kill on Onimaru? I feel like it’s not. So, I’ll be a bit greedy and skip a worker. With his board clear, I can hopefully afford to delay the Tower. Or I could just leave Onimaru alone, but he may be able to Boot Camp my patrollers away… although, at most 2 of them. Still… I wanna get this rune factory started. I’ll stash Favor to worker it next turn. But, no… I don’t have quite enough gold, so I’ll have to play more conservatively. Hopefully he’s workered Forgotten Fighter after seeing me be so wary of it until now.

You have 3 cards in your hand, play a worker and Insurance Agent and stash 1 card. If you stash a card, how can you also discard 1? What am I missing?

Legion · February 7, 2021, 8:02am

maybe the draw from IA?

Unity · February 7, 2021, 8:04am

Ah of course, thank you Legion.

Thinking about it now the last move was really stupid. I easily could have delayed my Tech II and build up some defense as I knew I wouldn´t have a Tech II unit to play this turn anyway. Don’t know, what I was thinking.

Nekoatl · February 7, 2021, 9:03am

Onimaru will have 4 health left after taking Tower damage with that sequence of events. Did you want to midband him to get access to readiness, attack, then maxband to heal and produce tokens?

Nekoatl · February 7, 2021, 9:36am

Actually, doesn’t matter since I’ll be dealing 6 damage either way.

I can Rampant Growth the Ironbark to kill Onimaru, then use Bigby’s maxband to draw the Tiger Cub to worker. I would then have just enough left to play the Shambler and Partner, though I’m concerned I may need to use Judgment Day to wipe out ait units, in which case… I guess I could still get a rune out of the Partner, but still seems like a big waste. Might be better to just buy max level for Cal and tech in Feral Strike for the reshuffle. Or maybe one of each ultimate for better flexibility. Yeah, let’s go with that.

That’s a lot of gold float… I suspect a maxband Onimaru is intended to finish warping in that Omegacron, gotta put up some defense…

Not really worried about Omegacron, as it can only hit one thing per turn, and I’m confident about my ability to field cannon fodder. Hmm… maybe I should consider not workering the Young Treant, though…

Omegacron will take 2 shots from the Tower for 2 attacks, leaving it at 1 health. Any changes to your turn?

No, I´m fine. Please go ahead Edited.

Thoughts

Okay, this makes dealing with the Omegacron easy, now. Also, I just noticed that Hero’s Monument is untargetable, and therefore immune to Assimilate…

Unity · February 7, 2021, 3:05pm

GG, WP. Made a mistake in turn 4 by building the Tech II without need, and wasn´t fully aware of the fact that you could build two Tech buildings at once with your Verdant tree. Also have to tweak some things with my strategy. Learned a lot again, well played

Unity · February 7, 2021, 3:08pm

If you want to have another go: I would play the same deck again.

Nekoatl · February 7, 2021, 3:14pm

GG WP! Yeah, I was worried you were gonna rush out a tech II unit and use it to suppress my board like the Reaver from game 1.

Lucky, T1 Merfolk. Putting it in SQL in case of Nullcraft. I should consider building a Tower next turn to discourage air raids once I start prospecting next turn.

Unity · February 7, 2021, 3:34pm

I guess it´s [Feral]/Discipline/Law again?

Nekoatl · February 7, 2021, 3:38pm

Yeah, Discipline seems to fit better than I expected, I figure it’s worth further testing.
