Casual: NikoBolas ([Necromancy]/Growth/Blood) vs IsotopeX (Mono-Black)

Codex Codex play-by-forum
61

I had the Plague Lab and Spreading Plague, which would have effectively wiped out just about everything on your side. Drakk would have needed a -1 rune, but I think I could have managed that. :slight_smile:

Sure, I’ll stay with Mono-Black for now.

62

Ok, I’ll try out [Blood]/Necromancy/Growth! I rolled a 98, so I’ll just kick things off!

Overpower only works on the Patrol Zone. :wink: It was a bad turn, but you’ll have to decide what to break :wink:

Blug, you’re right. OK, then I’ll still kill Drakk and just damage the Tech I by 3 instead. I REALLY don’t want that little freak running around.

There was no way you could’ve known, but I’m REALLY glad you killed Drakk instead of breaking my Tech I…and Drakk does 1 to your base in his death :imp:

Your base takes 4 damage from Lich’s Bargain. Hopefully the loss of your worker will set you back enough after this…

I had a lovely set up that allowed me to break your Tech building, until I remembered that the Pestering Haunt can’t be sacrificed. Stupid Pestering Haunt.

Um… What actually killed Twilight Baron here? Not that it matters in the long term (since it’s doomed and all), but a 6/6 attacking a 1/1 wouldn’t die, and units that take overpower damage don’t deal combat damage back to the attacker.

73

Ugh Overpower makes my patrol zone look so dumb! Nice attacking… Also Hobosu is correct, I think Twilight Baron should be alive with only 1 damage on him - the deathtouch Horror never got to touch him!

Yeah, technically he didn’t die right then, I was thinking of the Vandy doom. Premature but there didn’t seem to be any way that he would affect the game (unless you foolishly decided to attack him).

This might have been a major mistake, but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to speak the Ebon Words of Rakshor and clothe Vandy in the infernal flesh of the Rift of Perdition.

@NikoBolas, I know it’s been almost a day, but do you object if I change that turn a bit?

77

No problem, sorry I’ve been away from the computer! I should be able to post a turn sometime today :wink:

OK, all I want to change is having Vandy attack Tech II instead of the Wisp because…well, that should be obvious.

Ok, Tech II is down, Garth is down, but wisp and Panda survived! :slight_smile: I don’t think you can activate a tower to detect something the turn you are building it, but I asked in the Rules Question thread just to make sure. If you can I may want to change my turn, if not here goes!
