My Thoughts

Made a good choice it seems, folks ignored Oni and while I lost Fargo and Nullcraft, I have plenty to rock with. Killing River as I spawn the soldiers and skeleton means I’ll be set to fetch DS and buff it next turn. Should be really good

Great, a Judgement Day draw. Not many units on the board, in favour of big heroes, but I’ll at least get the gold back.

EDIT: Didn’t realise bansa’s Tech II was open for me to kill. I think hitting Nekoatl’s is fine though, leaves Carpe and Nekoatl to do some of the work.

Dang, that’s right. Well, maybe if I look innocent nothing bad will happen.

Besides, one Ninja isn’t half as scary as a Blademaster.

Mox doesn’t exhaust from Swiftstrike?

Yes, but it still deals damage, because it doesn’t die.

My Thoughts

Okay with these hero kills available I can empty the deck, guarantee nullcraft. I can death rites to deal with Blademaster, so I’ll tech that (I’ll 100% have it next turn) and should be totally safe to do it if I kill Bigby (stupid judgment day, should have killed him last turn…)

136

Levels fizzle, because there are no eligible friendly heroes in play. When your hero dies on your turn, that’s when you choose which opponent gets levels.

I know it’s way too late to rollback, but can’t you only earn 3 gold from unit killing a turn, meaning your judgement day still nets -1?

138

Oops, I mis-remembered the spell as costing 3. I’ll go down a gold this turn.

Levels don’t fizzle in FFA if there is an opposing hero who is not max level. May I suggest Argagarg as a fine choice to receive free levels from that Bigby kill?

Mea culpa, you are correct

141

No levels go to carpe’s setsuki, I’ll fix it

142

Aww man, at this rate, if I want to cast an ultimate spell, I’m gonna have to use Guargum, Eternal Sentinel to do it.

143

I was hoping you’d let Bigby live to clear the way to that Tech III building, but never mind…
