Casual - Random_Phobosis (MonoBlack) vs Request (MonoRed)

lettucemode · October 10, 2016, 6:24pm

Both fading and forecast are “arrives” abilities. So:

No, yes
The thing won’t have any times runes, but both Quince’s midband and manufactured truth last until the end of the turn at most anyway.
No
Correct

Request · October 10, 2016, 6:36pm

Ahhh, for 3 I thought the Immortal would still be an Illusion and thus susceptible to death by targeting… @sharpobject is there a ruling on this situation for and Illusion Immortal?

Request · October 10, 2016, 6:43pm

Ahh nevermind, found Sharpo’s reply here:

So Lettuce is right

sharpobject · October 10, 2016, 8:13pm

It is still an illusion because that’s what Quince’s ability says. You can make it do the indestructible thing by targeting it. So it will be exhausted, lose attachments, and all damage will be removed.

Meantime I’ve got the same answers from BGG.
Good luck, have fun!

Haven’t played a ton of Blue v. Purp. I’m thinking of going Truth-heavy on units and leaning on Bigby’s injunction/community service as backup. We’ll see what adjustments I need to make

Random_Phobosis · October 10, 2016, 10:19pm

Last time I was super excited to read your thoughts after the match. I was kinda bummed that you had no nefarious plan and that I couldn’t get some groundbreaking insights on the game. Hope you’re write something nefarious enogh this time!

I’ve never played a Blue rushdown strat before, so I’m wondering if this is the match to do it in. Injunction will be pretty key in this game, and I might be able to just overwhelm Phobosis with an illusion swarm. We’ll stay on course unless something crazy happens

Getting my Tech 1 blown up was surprising, so too bad I can’t build Tech 2 yet. Will definitely have to lean on Bigby’s spells so I hope Phobosis picks some good, hijackable units. Meanwhile Oni and the Aven will have to do some work on their Tech buildings.

Hopefully the Air Hammer pressure can keep up this momentum. Not too worried about Vir’s mech since I can copy it with Manufactured Truth and hopefully trade. Now it’s just a matter of drawing into that spell. Or I could just try some Quince shenanigans if he survives
