[Casual] Nekoatl (mono-purple) vs. Vivanter (mono-black)

You’re right, that’s a bad habit of mine. GG WP, and go ahead and take P1 this time around.

Wow, read back through your thoughts. 1) I got extremely lucky hitting R&D that one turn. 2) I kinda feel like I was overvaluing discard effects the entire game. Maybe a leftover from my MtG days.

That said…

Glad to know it was worth the time to type them out. 1) Yes, you did. 2) That’s not surprising. Discard mechanics are powerful in Codex (though random discard is kinda hit-or-miss). But, they’re not as powerful as in MtG, in part because unspent gold floats from one turn to the next, unlike mana, in part because even without playing cards, players can often effectively spend gold on heroes, tech builds, & add-ons, and in part because players can somewhat offset discards by placing more priority on patrolling as Technician or, in extreme cases, by building a Surplus (though these decisions definitely come at a cost). A single discarded card tends not to make a big difference (though it certainly does occasionally), but repeated discards can put a lot of pressure on a player and make it difficult for them to worker cards (as it did for me in the later turns of last game).

Gonna try holding onto Temporal Research as a panic button this time around, really should have considered Black’s many discard options before trashing it last game. Standard logic would be to play a hero and no card this turn to recover hand size, but it’s tempting to drop FArgo and Suits… doing so would mean drawing 3 cards… which would mean a chance of not drawing either card I want to worker next turn. Not great. Also, StW would leave my buildings exposed to attack from the Imp. So, a hero it is. Geiger is gonna be easier to work with due to his more affordable level-up and healing. And… Battle Suits isn’t gonna help much right away without the FArgo pairing, so I’ll hold onto it. I’ll put FArgo in Technician to recover my hand size or enjoy extra board control.

That makes sense. I suppose it is also “technician piercing” in the case of shadow blade.

Alright, I suppose I’ll start using this feature. Teching Dark Pact and Bone Collector for the raw value and to see what my opponent is up to. I needed to put some kind of body in play while teching, so poisonblade rogue will have to do. I don’t think I mind if they midband Geiger in order to bash it. It seems like opp’s early techs last game moved them towards interacting with units rather than heroes. Perhaps a more hero focused strategy this time?

Well, that was embarassing. Decided not to play dark pact, since none of my draws really improved the situation. So here’s my thought: early tinkerer suggests they’ve got a plan that involves time counters for the next couple turns. That could just be plasmodium, but it might mean they didn’t tech stewardesses, which means no bounce woes. This line really prices me into getting tech 2 ASAP, so let’s see if Vandy buys enough space.

Yeah, I’ve learned to be quite wary of sparkshot after experiencing several such situations…

I’ll assume you summoned Vandy before casting Summon Skeletons.

Urgh, there’s Vandy’s oppressive stat efficiency. What I wouldn’t give to have Battle Suits in hand right about now… guess I’ll try to accelrate my cycle with Geiger’s midband… and, no luck. But that’s okay, I’ll just load up on forcast threat and patrol a nearly-expired FArgo as Technician. That should make killing it less appealing. If it does die, I’ll draw the last card from my deck, and if not, Geiger can fetch it… so AS LONG AS IT DOESN’T GET DISCARDED, I’ll be able to cast Temporal Research and replenish my hand next turn.

Yep, sorry! A side effect of thinking “I want to summon skeletons, so I’ll summon Vandy” and just transcribing in that order. I’ll be careful about that. Also just noticed I neglected to record the 2 damage to my tech I, which should be fixed as of the current post.

Feel good about calling a time-rune based tech. In order to keep pace I feel like I need to get one of my tech 2s in next turn. Should have good odds between drawing 5, technician skeleton and dark pact. The question then is Bone Collector to get some beef out there or Sac the Weak to deal with the tinkerer (which I don’t think I’ll be able to do for several turns w/o it. Tech-wise, I think we run it back, then tech real wincons next turn.

Remember seems too scary to survive. Time for an insanely aggressive line. Teching in metamorphosis and doom grasp (to help fight prynn). Next turn we try to sieze tempo with dozer / slam metamorphosis if the cards align.

No metamorphosis this turn is too bad. Tower makes it pretty inefficient to attack this turn. Better to make some fresh bodies and push next time around. We’ll tech a few late game cards under the premise that if Garth makes it to next turn we’ll want to tech a tier 2 unit

That Dozer makes patrolling awkward. At this point, I’m just throwing out targets to soak hits.

Hm. I have two rules questions to see if this turn works:

  1. Can overpower spill over onto a second patroller? That’s my interpretation of the card text.
  2. Does Second Chances apply to overpower damage?

Found a use for metamorphosis. If overpower works this way (which I think it does?) then this is a pretty crippling stroke. Rolling the dice a little bit that they don’t have a tech 3 in hand literally next turn.

  1. If there are 2 patrollers and you attack one with extra damage and overpower, you must assign the remaining damage to the other patroller (assuming no flying, invis, etc.) because it’s the only other thing you could attack.
  2. No, overpower redirects your combat damage, so it won’t trigger Second Chances.

Bad draws here since my Tech II is down, trying to accelerate my cycle to compensate. Need to stall until I can pull off somethin’ useful.

Ah, thanks. I clearly misunderstood how that worked.

Before I begin my turn, doesn’t trashing two units with Prynn put her at 0 time runes, so she fades out and the dozers immediately come back?

Edit: Oh no, the seer. My bad.

It would if she had 4 time runes before trashing both units, which is why I added a 5th. :wink:

Uninspiring starting hand made substantially better by the Garth draw. Time to bash in. I like putting them in the hard spot of rebuilding the tower or playing out a second creature maybe, but it could have been right to hit tech 2 again and just soak the damage.

Deteriorate doesn’t work on heroes. :wink: No need to rush on my account, btw.

Ah, could have sworn it was patrollers. I’ll revise my turn to just take one more point of damage on Garth and discard that away end of turn.

Edit: my turn should be set now. Thanks as always for bearing with a new player like me!
