It didn’t distribute. It added (-) runes on cards already had (-) runes.

Plauge Lab, eh? That could be a bit annoying if I’m not careful, but probably it’s not as bad as Aboms. Is it worth using nature Reclaims to clear them? He does have other buildings to choose from, but… those aren’t available without a Tech Lab. Guess I’ll go for it.

What a time to draw 3 Balance spells. I should have patrolled with Argagarg. I’ll midband with Quince to survive a Crow attack, maybe it’ll help?

GG! This is a pretty good deck with lots of synergy.

Nekoatl · June 12, 2021, 2:23am

GG WP. That felt pretty one-sided, so I think I’ll go back to the drawing board. I guess that means you’re off the hook for game 2. Thanks for the help!

bansa · June 12, 2021, 2:27am

K, let me know if you want to test something else later

Nekoatl · June 12, 2021, 4:46am

Okay, I’ve got my eye on [Necromancy]/Present/Blood now. You can stick with [Discipline]/Disease/Law; it does seem generally difficult to play around its combos. I’d forgotten, but I think I did play that one before and really liked it.

Okay, my general strategy to start is to hold Haunt, Javelineer, and Imp in the Graveyard and worker my other staring units, while teching in spells. There are several combos to work towards, and I’ll want to raise my hero limit quickly to enable them.: Nether Drain levels to Geiger to flicker the Imp or a naturally hasty unit, Kidnapping and then Temporal Distortion to bounce it before it returns to its owner’s control, Drakk maxband and Warp Gate Disciple to guarantee at least one unit is warped in, Skeletal Lord + Drakk maxband to haste the summoned creature, etc. etc. However… against that strong opening, and with this hand, there’s no way I can safely work towards those goals, and no way I can offer a valuable defense to that attack, so best I can do is stall a bit and keep Garth available to cast spells next turn.

Guess I’ll ditch StW here, as Executioners do the same thing, but better, and I only have one Black hero anyway. I predict he’ll be buying Grave levels next turn, so Nether Drain is on the menu.

Whelp, at least he can’t gain any free levels from kills at the moment… guess I’ll build my Tech II early so if he pops Geiger with Reversal, I’ll still have a hero limit of at least 2 next turn.
