[Casual] Unity (MonoWhite) vs hardy83 (MonoRed)

[hardy83]

wow …never tried to skip tech 1 units all together… probably won’t try it in the near future either

[Unity]

Seems like I cannot win anymore.

If I had to lay a finger on it: I should have used the Grappling Hook in Turn 4 to pull your GPT away from the Technician Slot. I got the cards to replenish my hand with the max Ability of Setsuki anyways and this Pillage was painful.

Anyways: I tried something new (at least for me): I think it was worth a try. Wp

Next Game:

hardy83 [necro]/balance/present
Unity [present]/future/strength

Thoughts

will he try to counter a graveyard with assimilate? i guess, i’ll try and find out

[hardy83]

oh sorry, i think graveyard would cost me 3 in multicolor, right? let me rethink…

no, in the unofficial manual rewrite it says “The first tech building or add-on you construct
costs +1 gold”… so you’re good to go @Unity

Thoughts

I fear Deteriorate (kould kill Rook if he levels Garth) and Sacrifice the weak. Should I bring the Fading Argonaut or level Rook to 5? Expensive…
On the other hand: if he kills Rook and I´m lucky I could assimilate his Graveyard…

should be your t2

guess he’ll tech into strength and de grey after this?

didn’t think about forgotten fighter… but if i put Zombie into Elite he has 3 attack and should be safe? - after all the card text doesn’t refer to the printed attack…

basilisk and nether drain should line up well next turn. I guess the question is, if I go for archery. should be fun,even if he really tries to assimilate for 3g

[Unity]

You don´t kill Rook? Interesting.

I was expecting a fuller Graveyard. Did you guess Assimilate?

Doesn´t look good.

[hardy83]

graveyard has arrival fatigue. A card gets it every time a player takes control of it…

but: how do you cast assimilate without vir?

[Unity]

Ah yeah, right. I guess it´s game over then. Invite Steve44 for a game. He is super motivated - and I just can´t handle two games. Can barely handle one

GG, wp.

[Unity]

@hardy83

A card gets it every time a player takes control of it

Are you sure about that?

[hardy83]

why is it game over???

[Unity]

Because I have nothing to defend myself.

[hardy83]

@Unity

Are you sure about that?

yep! however, t’s not worded like this in the UMR - at least not in my version. but i’m sure. it was a discussion in the rules thread, i think. it’s the reason why kidnapping grants haste

[Unity]

I see, interesting. What is UMR?

[hardy83]

Rules Questions thread

No, not quite. It always comes with arrival fatigue. Kidnapping specifically states that the unit you take control of gains haste, so you can use it straight away. Other things, like Final Smash, Mind Control, Ogre Recruiter and Assimilate do not grant haste, so you can’t exhaust or attack with them until your next turn (or if you give them haste!).
