[MMM1] Warmup: Akiata (Black) vs dwarddd (Red)

Akiata · February 24, 2020, 12:42pm

Rofl! GGWP! -13!! That’s the new high score, wonder if we can top that!

Yah, that was a bit rough and ready from me, these are the decks I have the least experience with. You try P1 Red and let’s see what we can learn.

dwarddd · February 24, 2020, 4:28pm

@Akiata let’s see what we can do!

And also, yeah, red is an interwsting one to play against as there is so much out-of-the-hand capability, i often find its about focusing on the beneficial trades as although red could sometimes theoretically clear ur board, if it takes 5 cards and skipping a worker youre as good as safe (unless they’re gunning for ur base, then ur never safe )

p1 red i think i’m meant to be agressive out the door, esp if i draw rambaster and madman, however madman can be deterioated, not worth it if i’m only hitting base at this point;

That’s an interesting way to look at it, will bear that in mind.

not sure i can forecast surprise atack much more here, guess a large float wouldve been only other clue possible but wasnt to be, low on cards, silver lining is i reckon this is a good size to increase chances of splitting surprise attacks over the two hands; as for this technique in general if they just wall up i’m gonna have difficulty keeping it up but I don’t want the base damage to go to waste so might go for fire t2 and see if I can burn his house down

go big or go home right, i want to make use of Zane’s maxband and im gonna call his bluff on t1 when he only reshuffles 2 cards into hand, hitting base! gonna tech fire darts at some point to ping base and plan to tech lobbers and or crash bombers, current plan for next turn is not worker againnnn surprise attack and t1, if surprise attack is worth it. edit: lets see if we can win w/o tech 1, i reckon its reasonable if i get at least 3 dmg on his base next turn

Akiata · February 27, 2020, 11:48pm

I’m off camping for the next 4 days and likely without access to the interweb. Was going to get a turn in this morning but it seems unlikely now. See ya when I’m back.

Lol i k how painful watching ur base be burned down is, but from this side of the fight, it is kinda fun… anyway good few cards i could draw next turn to finish him, hopefully he leaves something i can suicide zane against so fire darts will work as well

dwarddd · March 18, 2020, 8:02am

yo @Akiata wanna carry on with this series or work got u down?

Akiata · March 20, 2020, 5:08am

Apologies for the long delay @dwarddd - crazy times these. Uhm, after all that I’ll have to concede this match here (fairly obviously). Well played!

I might take a break from this series for now. Considering jumping in on XCAPS20, so perhaps we could pick this up again after that, or if some of the other MMM series I have running wrap up.

I don’t think I was a great opponent here - these are the decks I know the least, so it was a bit of a struggle to learn both at once. I would like to get back to it at some point and learn them a both better though.

dwarddd · March 20, 2020, 5:09pm

Hey no worries at all, crazy times indeed!
I’ll try not to forget about this series and ping u in a while but idm waiting. Equally if you want to cancel this matchup or change so we’ve only got one ‘new’ deck for you im good with that too (didnt think about the effect of picking both decks that were unfamiliar to you, sorry bout that😂)
Cya round, @Akiata
