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.

64

You listed pillage twice.

65

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.

67

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

68

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.

69

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”?

70

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

71

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.

72

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?

73

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”

74

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!

75

This might be the most bonkers map yet.

76

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.

77

GG bro, this is by far the wackiest map yet.

Definitely easily exploitable and would lead to some dead match ups. Just read about the Shadow Lord/Zzarra combo, nuts.

Lots of cool things that could be done, like getting Hotter Fire out early. But overall, just seems silly. The broken Ulti spells and T3 units would just be harsh!

I’ll draw the next one shortly

78

Yea I missed recording the dark pact and pillage damage, my base is at 16. What a bonkers map… I didn’t even consider Charge

Feral and Anarchy feel like they’d be WAY too strong on this map. Gunships OP like woah

79

Anarchy is probably the worst offender, but then you have to consider the relatively low damage of the gunship, you need a way to get another 8 damage on base, which probably isnt too hard, but still. But Past is also pretty bonkers.

80

True Power of Storms seems like the most broken thing, especially out of the Green starter (for Young Treant). Combine with Morningstar Pass or Moment’s Peace to absorb attack(s).
