[Casual] Wizard [Mono-White] vs Hobusu [Mono-Purple]

Codex Codex play-by-forum
22

Since your tech 2 was down and you don’t have a Heroes’ Hall, you’re not actually able to summon a 2nd hero.

@Wizard, since it doesn’t look like Rook was that important to your plan, would you prefer to just refund the gold for summoning him or redo your turn?

24

Oops, good catch @Dreamfire
I will just keep the gold - @Hobusu do you mind if I swap the twin from scavenger to technician?

That’s fine, just edit your turn and I’ll retake my turn based on that tomorrow!

Thoughts

Lots of gold floating around here, I’ll probably build T3 next turn if I can. Dislike setting a ninja down to 1 with nullcraft around but I want to keep the unit count down while I can. Playing Grave over Garus since the 4th HP doesn’t seem to matter and the max band could be okay to snipe something past Immortals.

I think I’ll call it there, rather than make you play out another turn :smiley:. Thanks for the game, that was really good! Interested in any thoughts anyone has, particularly about the opening

I stopped writing my thoughts on a turn-by-turn basis after a while, but you can go ahead and check my earlier turns to see how I approached the problem (and also things I forgot about because of rustiness, haha). It’s definitely an oppressive opening, but I do wonder how things would’ve turned out if I’d remembered to build a Tower sooner or if I’d drawn Origin Story earlier.

@FrozenStorm, any thoughts as an enthusiastic spectator? :wink:

34

I need to look closer on my laptop to have really good feedback, but something that jumps out at me is @Wizard’s turn 6. He had the option to double fds and take down the tech 2 present, but instead opted to tech up. Now Hobusu had Origin Story and certainly would have played it, but never the less, I think taking the extra board pressure and a better trade for Sets is worth it in that instance. I’ll have to look closer though
