[MMM1] Warmup: Black (FrozenStorm) vs Purple (zhavier)

Codex Codex play-by-forum
141

Does Gilded Glaxx actually see play in competitive matches? Interesting it wasn’t buffed in this rebalance efforts.

142

I’m not playing it for funsies XD It’s very good against high-removal decks like Black (and red / purple to a lesser extent) It’s not among the best tech 1 in the game but it’s very useful in spots. You’d almost always rather use it than Argo against Black

I see. I guess it makes sense against black. I’ve not seen it in my games but I’ve not played much Purple either :slight_smile:

The fact that I need floating gold every turn to make it’s effect active was just too much for me.

My Thoughts

Good news / bad news draw here, I got the OS on time, but also my card draw and my big t2 unit… No money to get Vir out and stash…

Well, likely then I’m running for Tech 3, but let’s see what happens next turn. Workering Glaxx b/c I want to keep TR and Rememberer more

Even with the Technician, whiffed the tech 3 AND tech 2’s… Game’s over

GG WP! That one was at least a solid 60% I draw the Ebbflow Archon, where I would have been able to clear the board entirely and probably win from there!

151

yea, i was worried about that, figured id have a shot at killing the ebbflow with sac, but it woulda been a struggle from there.

152

OS is just such a pricey and inefficient way of neutralizing Vandy, and her Resist is such overkill on top… You have to tech 2 of them to setup a draw on time, but that means foregoing setting up much of anything for yourself.

Had my Turn 5 and 6 draws been a little flopped around and I got the rememberer AFTER the OS, maybe I have a decent shot to hit back, but even so the 60% for tech3 was probably my best win con.

Your turn to go first! @Shadow_Night_Black penny for your thoughts?

153

Did I ever tell you guys the time I asked Leontes and LK4O4 about the resist on Vandy?
I said “Surely that’s just actual overkill. There’s no way she needs it!”
Their response: “oh yeah, we actually forgot she had it because we always played without it in our playtesting, cause we thought it was too good”

I’m not making this up guys, Vandy should not have had resist 1 on midband

Doesn’t surprise me at all, it is definitely overkill

@zhavier did you wanna start another game, or shall we break for awhile?

Definitely feels like the win con for Purple is pretty narrow here, Vandy is such a nuisance. Past stall for tech 3, or maybe a Hasty Future tech 2 unit. Present feels not fast enough and unable to get to Vandy in time on its own.

156

I’ll take a break for a bit. It definitely doesn’t feel as oppressive as blue but still rough.
