Think I’ll concede here - not being able to break Tech 2, and mine still being down, means an inevitable loss. Gg! The Metamorphosis really did it, haven’t seen that used before

Is this post from a different game?

GG! Metamorphosis really swung this, thought you were ahead up until then and with the Peace engine about to take over. It’s a strong ultimate, and worth playing a Tower in advance if it’s threatened, then at least one Demon has to attack into patrol, and you can also detect one non-patrolling Demon on your turn.

24

I threw out a Turn 1 in case you wanted to play again :slight_smile: And yeah - I shoulda been watching for Metamorphosis for sure. Playing a Tower would’ve been the right thing to do once the threat level became so obvious

25

Happy to play again, though may be Fri/Sat before I get to post regularly as I’m away for a few days. But noticed your T1 was with black rather than purple starter.

26

Gotcha. I’ll be out of town Sunday - Weds, so same deal on my end. Feel free to post whenever. And yeah you’re correct on the starter - set to correct deck and restarted

Thought about Imp instead, but he rebuilds to 5 cards by playing Grave, and I don’t see a good reply from my T2 hand.

No unit worth playing from hand, so getting Graveyard out early and Tower to dissuade Nullcraft. Teching 2 x IPNs to absorb his Suited attacking units.

10 atk for $5, pretty efficient for him with Suits down early. Maybe my mistake not to have played Imp T1, but then I wouldn’t have Tower+Graveyard. IPN is solid defence for now, hopefully protect Graveyard long enough to cycle Crashbarrows/Gliders.

Brave Knight dies to Imp due to extra hit from Tower. Nullcraft also dies to Tower.

34

Forgot about tower. Rewound and fixed; just re-played the BK, since he died

35

Onimaru would be 3/1, after 2 dmg from Vandy and 1 from Tower

36

Also noticed my technician IPN should be 3/3 not 4/4 (becomes 4/4 after Imp dies).

37

Ah both those changes are meaningful. Will take a look…

38

Ok, posted a revision. Very different with IPN being 3/3 instead of 4/4, b/c Overeager Cadet can trade evenly with her w/ those stats. This time Vandy lives, but your Tech 1 is broken and I built Tech 2 Peace

39

Oh no… after the Imp dies she’s 4/4 again. This is the most trouble I’ve ever had with a turn, geez. Ok, another revision…

40

Alllll right. Fixed now. Basically same outcome but there’s a Neo Plexus in play instead of the BK, due to 1 gold difference. I look forward to the next revision :slight_smile:
