[Casual] Shadow (Mono White) vs Charnel Mouse ( [Law/Truth]/Discipline)

charnel_mouse · January 28, 2019, 12:25pm

Mixture of weekend and finished up my CAWS match, but I also don’t see any way to really proceed from here. I think I need a better handle on MonoBlue before I muck around more with custom decks using its starter.

Happy to play with Mono Blue in this thread, if you like?

Grappling Hook will let Shadow kill Onimaru, and he can afford a midband heal. Leading with Building Inspector instead gives him a free kill, but Onimaru can probably kill whatever he blocks with.

Thoughts

I was planning for Peace, but Ninjitsu gives me pause. Peace doesn’t really have anything to stand up to a Glorious Ninja, so I’d be relying on a 2-attack counter-attacker to deal with it, unless I give something Elite Training. On the other hand, pretty much everything is cheaper than a Ninja. Aven could do that job except for blocking Birds, maybe I need to bring in an Air Hammer next turn. I can’t see Law and Truth doing much better at this point, I haven’t set up for Truth at all. Guardian of the Gates is tempting, but I’m told that’s a terrible idea. OK, an Air Hammer next turn, hopefully I can take out any Schools before they snowball.

Lucky draw for taking out Rook here. Maybe I won’t need the Air Hammer after all. I just need 1 more damage on Setsuki next turn, and then I can afford to bounce Reputable Newsman here.

… Hmm, still no Garrison. I might have to try my luck with Lawful Search, otherwise I at least can put the Newsman back down.

I lucked out with Lawful Search drawing a Garrison, so it’s go time! Sensei’s Advice and Grappling Hook are the main things to worry about in Shadow’s hand, although it’s nice to see I stopped him getting the Earthquake + Birds combo I was worried about.

… Unfortunately, I’ve drawn a Sergeant so late that I have choose between it and Free Speech. I’ve got another Sergeant coming next turn, so I think the latter is better here so Setsuki’s no doing anything for Shadow, and there’s nothing unexpected in his hand.

In retrospect, I should have brought in some Hallucinations to deal with that Porcupine, too. Next turn.

… Oh, or I can just Arrest it. That works too for the moment.

Patriot Gryphon + Mirrors can handle Jade Fox if needs be, but with a garrison out I can afford to wait until I have a Tech III built before I tech it in. I can’t really afford Air Hammers just yet, either.

I should have cast MT on the Newsman to copy it into a Sergeant, then played the Brave Knight, then I could have destroyed the surplus this turn. Well, never mind.

GG, I have my tech 3 in hand, but it doesnt stop you just walking under all my now flying ninja and kill me, wp

GGWP! I got lucky with my Garrison draw, any longer or a School going down and I’d have been in serious trouble.

Thoughts

I could level up Onimaru and kill everything, but Shadow can afford to hit him with Snapback and still tech up, while I’d have to skip. I’ll just stick the Newsman down to stop Grappling Hook allowing an easy midband Rook kill on Onimaru again. On second thought, Traffic Director does roughly the same for cheaper if I lead with him, and then I can get Aven rolling too.

Teching in units with decent attack values for now, one gold-cheap and one card-cheap. I want to try to go for Law this time, but I’ll wait and see how viable that looks to be. I’d want to transition to my other heroes, for Mirror copies of Juggernauts and Injunctions/Community Service. Probably the latter first for tempo.

… Think I’ll want to Lawful Search for a better worker here.
