Players, don't read this until after the game

Frozenstorm seems to have a megabroken combo here. Feral Strike --> Zarramonde + Lord of Shadows gives him 19 invisible damage. If he adds a Haunt or any other black unit that’s 20. He can swing with that on T4 or T5, depending when he draws Feral Strike.

I think YoungBuck’s deck has literally zero answers to that, other than base racing with Burning Volleys and Ember Sparks. I haven’t done the math to see if he can play enough before frozenstorm can do a 20 damage attack, but as P2 it’s going to be hard. This map is bonkers.

Yeap there’s the pillage and I’m sittin’ here DGAF, I don’t think there’s any way I don’t win next turn… I think these map cards might actually warrant a draft mode. Deal a map card, take turns pick/ban-ing? Might be a fun house-rule XD

Also read this after the game

Troq ultimate with no troq?! That’s just great right next to burning volley+hotter fire, or MoLC and murkwood. I do agree feral strike is most bonkers though.

You listed pillage twice.

Haha well I knew thatFeral Strike had to be coming, but perhaps I have a trick up my sleeve as well?

Obliterate 4 actually skips the Pestering Haunt, at least by the current rulings. So you obliterated 2 Tech 3 units, well done.

Oh for real? Obliterate works the same as Sac the Weak?

Current ruling is that all those destroy the weakest unit effects are errata’d to sacrifice the weakest, to more clearly skip indestructible units, with the side effect that pestering haunt is now skipped.

By those same rules though, would Judgement Day and Maximum Anarchy NOT kill P.Haunt? Those cards read “Destroy” as well

Is it only “Destroy weakest units” that are equivalent to “Sacrifice”?

I am curious about this as well for competitive purposes, I applaud the charge’d Guargum win if it’s legit!

Only stuff that affects weakest / lowest tech level.

ie, stuff that would say “opponent sacrifices a unit of their choice” except Codex is fully asynchronous, so we have to decide which thing dies algorithmically.

So is this to say that I could NOT boost a hooded exec to sideline an immortal, if it were the lone unit for a present tech 2 player? And same for obliterating it? Hardened Mox = Obliterate-proof wall?

As it stands, yes, indestructible is obliterate and hooded executioner proof.

It is only “destroy weakest units” that are effected to now read “sacrifice weakest units”

DAYUMN! I will make sure to keep that in mind :slight_smile:

GG WP Charged forest sentinel! Guess I should have kept my squirrels and patrolled differently. I’ll remember that next time I WTF mode hahaha!

This might be the most bonkers map yet.

You aren’t actually dead, though? Guargum only dealt 19 damage, by my count, and you have a Sacrifice the Weak in hand…

Ah, I see, you didn’t record your Dark Pact damage last turn.
