Im afraid my reshuffle last time was nice with the BAs both in deck; it definitely took a bit of luck for this to line up as it did but yeah was pretty happy with the line in general, thanks man!
RuleChanges
Nerfs
Vandy
Remove resist 1 at midband
Midband changes to “①, , Discard a card → Fetch any non-ultimate Demonology spell from your codex, reveal it, then put it in your hand.”
Maxband loses targeting, changes to giving the weakest unit on each side +2/2 (analogously to StW)
That’s GG, my technician draw (older brother) didn’t safe me this time.
Had I drawn my speed of the Fox I could have killed at least one BA as well as the panda and a grave with only one damage in SL for defense, but no such luck this time.
Very well played and definitely a fun game.
Are you up for another one?
I think i’ve had enough mono green though…
I might try the ‘named’ Skelegrow as I’ve never been in a game with it involved, [Growth]/Necro/Strength - let me know what you’ll use and I’ll do a turn 1. I’d probably choose to play a normal game, starting hand-wise, but honestly don’t mind much if you have something you want to try in more controlled conditions!
Also on your strategy with this deck - it was fun and that first game was v scary, thanks for playing! Grave+neutral starter pressure through onto a monster Setsuki - the biggest lull on the receiving end seemed to be tech 1 units (although I guess my counter to IPN was hella lucky i definitely wasn’t thinking about that specifically), hmm and maybe also the ability to force bad trades with neutral starter actually
Awesome, then I’ll change my codes as well. I also have a ton of stuff I want to test with [Blood]/Feral/Peace so I’ll take that one.
So clarification on the rules: balance changes as in your sheet specified and linked in mine, but opposed to the previous games this time with random opening split
So far nothing fancy, and tbh: when shortly discussing the deck, moby came up with 5 different (partially intervining) strategies (nothing too fancy) and I still have to decide which road to take… Let’s see where this game goes and take it from there

Didn’t think it would be such a huge thing to go back to standard random split. Would have loved my messenger in my second hand, but can’t complain. The split this is pretty awesome.

okay, that’s a BIG surprise (not only the tech choice but also the patrol choice)
But concerning the tech choice: I don’t see any good synergies with these two teched cards from that board state onwards and it was kind of lucky to draw both. if he had drawn only mythmaking and not boulder it probably already would have been game. but well, I won’t complain as this is a nice guaranteed feral strike setup for turn 5 while already putting quite some pressure on the board. So he basically made the decision for me about my strategy.
lol true answer is im not up to much the last few turns i took kinda rushed
just warning ahead: unlikely to get a turn out here till Monday sorry, i think this game is not lost so hard that i can’t at least be good target practice for you then (and enjoy seeing what comes out!)
Don’t you worry! I really enjoy these casual games with you. Take however long it takes and if you feel uncomfortable with a game situation, we can always directly skip to a new game (not necessarily with reversed p1/p2 roles). Although I’m obviously keen on continuing the games as fast as possible, I don’t want them to be a reason for stress on your side!

strength+growth, that’s the weakest of the standard miracle growth strategies, not what I was expecting in this MU, as it just ignores necro, but well… I’ll take it! have a nice chance of 74% to follow up my feral strike with a feral strike as I don’t see him being able to break through my expected two gigas next turn
even with tech 2 blood, surely they have a feral strike coming this turn? their draws line up for it… i think i gotta tech for that or it’s GG if they do

I was kind of expecting this worker skip, but it’s still a mess. Those boosted barbarbaras together with the ultra cheap boulder are going to make this way more complicated than I was expecting when I thought about this turn before I actually got there. But well, worker skip, going down with cards, this should work in my favor
so another feral strike, but need to try to make sure drakk can’t also maxband, so unfortunately give them that card over the gold so even with a glider theyd be one short by my quick maths

that’s a nice board clear in front of me, I’ll definitely take that! I prefer my giga to be left quite alive over doing 4 extra damage to tech 2, hope I’m not regretting this soon
