Yuck, not much in the way of good bounties here. If I had a unit alive I could copy Jandra, but all I can do here is copy Nullcraft to kill that Mercenary. I think I’d rather keep my hand size up for drawing Lobbers.

Newsman on 2… sucks lol. No birds then, not right away anyway. Probably Growth Tech2 is the play but not MoLaC, Vir makes that pretty risky. Fencers are solid to have in no matter what we’re doing, so that’s the play for now

Get Birds to feed to Banefires… may as well get Soul Stone as well, both provide value even if I lose them to Assimilate. Problem is, that Newsman… well, I’ll clear the way and see if other players can finish it off. There’s a chance Nullcraft might kill Jandra, so I’ll just play the Haunt. If it dies, no big loss.

So uh…unfortunately I can’t really capitalize on that…

Much appreciated, and as thanks, I won’t attack your buildings for a while. I do need a $1 bounty, however, and as I’m very concerned about that extra-sturdy Rook casting Earthquake, I’m gonna have to take it from Nimble Fencer and strip a card as well.

Hrm. I can’t cleanly kill Vandy, who’s a huge threat here. But I can do some tech-busting. One Time Spiral lets me bust up two Tech 2s here. Lets me set up my own Tech 2 with minimal investment. Leaves me 2 gold, which doesn’t get me much unfortunately. Hmm, I can get a gold back by killing Tenderfoot, and play that Stewardess, bounce my Nullcraft to hand to effectively draw a card. Vir and Nullcraft break a Tech 2, Time Spiral, Plasmo and Mox break another Tech 2, Fargo kills Tenderfoot, I’m back to 7 gold so I can Tech 2 and Stewardess, bounce Nullcraft.

Thoughts

Tokens should keep Rook off my Tech II, hopefully. Gotta try to maintain that 2 base HP advantage! Putting Vandy up front might get her killed, especially if people are worried about Meta, but I’m actually okay with that. I’m more concerned with keeping Rook alive. Vandy’ll be a little harder to kill with the SQL armor as well, and if she can keep aggression restrained, I can maybe get more value out of my tokens, somehow…? Alternative would be to go with Banefire and Argagarg, but someone would just kill the Wisp before Banefire could sacrifice it, maybe.

I think here is where I lean on Frozen to kill Vandy before Meta comes online. Because that is a very clear Meta setup. So instead I focus my efforts elsewhere, taking a value trade with Plasmo.

And I’m a dummy.

Right, definitely want to tech in a Tax Collector. After that, I’d like to put in a decent spell, but I’m not sure what. Maybe I just add a Scribe instead, and think about it later. Injunction is more helpful once I can go on the offensive, and Judgement Day is a double-edged sword when I’m relying on Blooming Ancients. Assimilate rules out Censorship Council and Blooming Elm.

I don’t really want to worker any of these cards, maybe I’m fine to skip a worker here? I wanted another round of teching anyway… Keeping the runes on the Ancients, I want to try to protect them against Tricycloid and all those flying units. Oh, but they can be banished or hit with Undo, too. OK, but the only rune target is the Wisp, since the Director is untargetable. Hmm. No, I’ll risk keeping everything on the Ancients.

Anyone know how towers work with invisibility in FFA? Like if I leave Vandy free here to go Super Saiyan (which apparently y’all felt was it was MY responsibility to die on that sword…?), can I lend my tower to Carpe to Origin Story a Demon Rook away?

The Tower has 2 functions: it detects one attacker that tries to use stealth or ability to bypass your patrollers, or it optionally detects one thing of your choice until the end of your turn, so it cannot be used to detect things for an opponent (this would require an off-turn decision or a preemptive “lending” of a building which cannot be placed into a patrol slot).

Incidentally, there’s nothing stopping you from leaving Vandy alone as well… in fact it might benefit you, if my heroes trade with other stuff that’s threatening you. You can encourage this to happen with the low, low price of a $3 Tower investment. Food for thought. :wink:

Oh well wishful thinking, but seeing as Neko wouldn’t be that far off lethal with Meta in hand, probably worth stopping it…

End of Turn Discard
My Thoughts

Maxband Vandy kinda fuckin scary lol, need to do something about that. Not much hope of winning myself aside from just being generally not the biggest threat right now :wink:


Here’s hoping Carpe kills Jandra and gets me a technician draw.

Thoughts

I can’t stop Frozen from pinging my base again next turn, and that’s a problem if he has Earthquake, but I can limit him to damaging only my base before casting… which is worth something, I guess? Gonna need Artisan Mantis to clean up afterward, though… which I can’t get access to without taking 2 more base damage, hah. Guess I’ll postpone for now, I can work with Terras and Dino in the meantime to put pressure on Rook.

@CarpeGuitarem’s turn!

Is that really how that works? If so that’s diabolical ^._.^
