Aw, man… I’ve got no defense on hand for Birds. Guess I’m the one who needs a Tower. This also means my Skeletons won’t hold the line patrolling. I don’t expect to be able to attack any time soon, so I’ll pass on the Collector in favor of the Imp.

Ouch. Getting rid of maxband Rook is both high priority and very difficult… I’ll need Nether Drain for that, and Doom Grasp could help quite a lot as well. The issue is how to get both on the same turn. For now, though, I’ll Technician Drakk… if he takes the kill, I get a card and don’t give away free levels; if not, I have the option of maxbanding him to give a unit haste and frenzy.

I don’t think you can summon 2 heroes yet

Good catch, fixed!

I’m actually really surprised you’re going for tech 2 Necro 2 games in a row. I feel like that’s the weakest of the specs that you’re running. Would love to hear the theory behind it after the games if you don’t mind sharing. Either way, I hope I’m not making a mistake not killing your tech 2 here.

For some reason a line was deleted from my post so editing - Lobber taps to deal 1 to tower

1 Like

Sure, just remind me later and I’ll be happy to discuss.

About the missing line, my best guess is you pushed the “Discard/Draw” button, then added the line, and didn’t push the “> Generate >” button before copying the output, so the output didn’t include the line. I do that occasionally. Looks like you’re missing your spec in your Buildings section, possibly it got lost at the same time?

Thoughts

Okay, this is good. Not great, but good. Having neither Nether Drain or Doom Grasp in hand means there’s a good chance I get both next turn. The catch is, I can’t summon Garth this turn or he won’t be available for the kill next turn. What I need to do now is just stall… question is, do I play 2 cards, or worker 1 and summon a hero? Summoning a hero means giving away free levels, but I think it’s worth doing so for a stronger income and thinner deck. Teching in some Tech II units that benefit well from haste. If he takes the bait and kills Calamandra with Rook, I can Nether Drain him for a kill without even using Doom Grasp… assuming he doesn’t take down the Tower first, at least… but I feel like there’s a good chance he will, what with his birds and Lobber… although, if he does, Rook will be stuck attacking the Javlineer, unless he uses a buff spell. Well, hard to say, but I’ll at least provide the opportunity. I’m afraid he’s got an Earthquake lined up, though, so I’ll hold off on building my Tech III, even though I have enough gold.

Yeah, that’s probably what happened…

Earthquake hits all buildings, including the base. Did you want to have that last Bird attack the base instead of Calamandra?

1 Like

Oh, I wasn’t aware that the base is considered a building. I’ll edit my turn then, thank you for the tip!

You know what, that means my bird dies to the tower if I do that, so I’ll leave it as is

The Bird will also die to the Tower if it attacks Calamandra. Attacking anything triggers retaliation from a Tower, except for stealthy or invisible things that escape detection.

I destroy the tower with Earthquake before the second bird attacks though :slight_smile:

Don’t really want to maxband Garth yet, but it’s too dangerous to let Argagarg live at max level, 'cuz Stampede. I’m about to trigger a reshuffle and need to decide which cards to take… I think Kidnapping is probably best for the moment, given the pressure I’m under and that I plan to use Drakk. Now, to rebuild the Tower, or not to rebuild? Hmm… I think I’d better do it… though maybe a Surplus is better at this point… yeah, let’s go with that.

I’m surprised you didn’t give the levels to Garth, he could be level 5 instead of 3 here. Don’t want to take the risk of maxbanding? Although not sure how that would happen…

Oh, I just realized that you did put him as level 5 in the patrol, the text was confusing. Let me edit my turn then

Yeah, he got 4 free levels from 2 hero kills, and I didn’t want to trigger his maxband when all my tech buildings were down. If I’d known you’d kill him, though, I would have given him the levels and then I’d have one less Elemental to worry about. Oh, well, that’s how it goes, lol.
