[XCAFS20] Round3: James MonoBlue vs CarpeGuitarrem [Bashing]/Discipline/Fire

Hello! Sorry for the delay. Sorry also I am likely to be a little slow due to work this week, but I will try to keep up an acceptable pace. Here are the changes.

@CarpeGuitarrem

Blue Starter

Porkhand Magistrate: ability costs 0 (instead of 1) to use.
Lawful Search: Changes to an upgrade, with “sacrifice this:” as the trigger for the ability it currently has as a spell (Look at opponent’s hand or discard, then draw 1).
Building Inspector: ability is “Your opponents must pay you 1 gold to build (or rebuild) a building” (instead of only the first building costing 1 more).
Bluecoat Musketeer: can now be long range while 2 attack or less (instead of exactly 1).

Law

Jurisdiction: gains “You may trash Jurisdiction and/or the searched-for spell” and “If that spell has Channeling your Law hero can Channel it until he leaves play” at the end of its effect.
Tax Collector: is a 3/3 (instead of 2/3).
Guardian of the Gates: is a 2/6 (instead of 1/6) and affects Units and Heroes (instead of just Units).
Arresting Constable: Gains “Haste” and can target any unit or hero with it’s ability.

Peace

General’s Hammer: costs 2 (instead of 3).
Drill Sergeant: gains “limit twice per turn” on it’s second ability (can only move 2 runes off of the DS each turn, same as Ancient).
Debilitator Alpha: costs 4 (instead of 5) and has “As Patroller: Attackers get -1 ATK” (even if they aren’t attacking Debilitator Alpha).

Truth

Spectral Tiger: gains Resist 1.
Spectral Roc: gains Resist 1.
Hallucination: Changes to: Spell - Summon :target: Target up to 2 units or heroes. Summon a 0/X hallucination token for each target, where X is the current HP (factoring in any buffs, debuffs or damage) of the target. Destroy these at your next upkeep.
Dreamscape: Instead of “all units are illusions” this becomes “Arrives or Upkeep: mark up to 5 units. These units are illusions until your next upkeep, even if Dreamscape is removed from play”. Also gains “Tap: Create a Mirror Illusion (max 2)”. Still channeling, still cost 3.
Quince: Midband ability now costs 1 (instead of 2).
Mind Control: Cost reduced to 4 and can attach to any unit, including tech IIIs.

Neutral Starter:

Spark costs 0 (instead of 1)
Fruit Ninja is a 3/2 (instead of 2/2) and keeps Frenzy 1

Bashing:

Troq midband becomes topband and can deal 1 damage to any building (not just a base)
Troq midband becomes readiness, level range is 4-7 instead of 5-7
Troq maxband becomes Overpower
The Boot becomes “Trash an opposing Tech 0 or Tech I unit. Trash this card”
Intimidate changes from “Give a unit or hero -4atk until end of turn” to “Give a unit or hero -3atk/1hp until your next upkeep”
Final Smash cost reduced to 3

Discipline:

Versatile Style has these 4 abilities (improved, still costs 2):

  • Destroy an Upgrade
  • Disable a Hero, or a Unit with Flying
  • Repair 4 damage from a building
  • Your Discipline hero is a Detector until your next turn

Focus Master - Changes to 2 cost, ability becomes “All your patrollers gain +1armor”
Hero’s Monument - Daigo Stormborn has Haste in addition to his other abilities

Fire:

Jaina Midband loses the “patrolling” designation
Fire Dart costs 1 (instead of 2)
Flame Arrow costs 3 (instead of 4)
Doubleshot Archer costs 2 (instead of 3)

I think I’m going to try out the Magistrate, maybe even into a Jail. His buffs are mostly on spells and at fire t2, so I think the plan is to make units hard to play to push him that way, and then chain Free Speech.

Man I wanted Spark to be up against Aven. Wither isn’t nearly as good. Still, I can build up a board here. Contemplating an early Tech 1; with buffed Inspector I think it’s worth it so I don’t bleed gold over to James. Obnoxious that a proc on the Inspector messes up my reshuffle but at least it’ll let me drop lots of stats onto the board next turn with that many cards.

@James’s turn!

glhf to you too!

No units, huh. Options: Aven is terrible against Spark. Hero + BI + Tech. BI is less useful since he went for the early tech. Porkhand Grave and do something. The resist 1 makes it probably not worth it to mess up his reshuffle. Jail might even be the best play - Force him to play two units to get one on the board. He can’t even kill Porky easily without levelling Grave and spending a card. Following that, flood the board into Peace engine before he can zap things, depending on how he techs? Vulnerable to Wrecking Balls perhaps.

Cool, very slow board presence start. I can safely level up Grave and get a clear here. Could drop a Timely Messenger down but it seems unnecessary when I might need to spend that gold on ping spells next turn, or to pop a unit out of Jail. It’s vulnerable to Tax Collector, though. Hm. How much of a risk do I consider that?

Twin, bloom, spark, flag, Hasty Boy. He could use hasty boy to get the Twins out next turn. That leaves him with 3 gold, so he wouldn’t tech up. He might well end up floating, so I’ll put in a Tax Collector. I can probably get the tech drop on him. I seem to be prepped for Peace Engine, so we’ll go there in the end, but if I play Scribe next turn I will cycle quickly so no need to risk the dead draw now (and I might change my mind).

First option: Rambasa into Timely, puts Rambasa out on the field, both Rambasas get eaten by Cadet + Mirror, Newsman also gets to Manufactured Truth into something like a bird, and Mirror Illusion gets to turn into a bird, I have 2 gold leftover. Heroes’ Hall?

Second option: Bloom Grave, kill Cadet, max Grave, leaves me at 1 floating gold with a fully operational maxband Grave. I can sword Quince to stop mirror shenanigans, which sorta wastes the power of sword but also catches James offguard. Waitasec Grave already has a rune oops. So let’s revise that.

I think the second option shuts down mirror shenanigans more.

Okay revised second option, maxband Grave (4), kill OEC, sword Quince, that shuts down mirror and also stops Aven + MT. 3 gold remains, HH + Timely in jail. Ironically, Jail is a great place to protect Timely right now.

@James’s turn!

Crunch time - I have to tech before I draw. I am going to go for a buffed Jurisdiction so that I can Free Speech or do something else as I am mostly sure he is going to go for some fire spells but I might want to Injunction or Hallucinate, and commit to Peace engine.

It’s now or never for Tech 2 huh. 3 gold to play with. Lobber in play plus a hero to hold the gates. Grave and Timely kill most of the Patrol Zone. I guess we go Jaina here because she’s not likely to die to MT. Tech 2 Fire because Firebirds can obliterate a swarm of units.

Let’s go! Hoping to draw the Overeager on the first play here… Yuck, Porky. Draw again, or hero? Draw and cycle, I think. I am going to be wading in Firebirds soon, so need to tech Air Hammers next and get to them. And by soon, it turns out I mean STRAIGHT AWAY. Aaaand I drew jurisdiction, so I can’t even use that next turn - worst timeline for me.

I think my most pressing priorities here are getting Firebird in play and destroying Garrison. To that end: Fire Dart, Firebird, Timely. Worker a card, draw 3. 6 Gold. 2 left for stuff. Oh, I can bring out Troq, yay. Ah blast Garrison costs too much health.

@James’s turn!

That’s not how that works. If a Jail (or graveyard) is destroyed, anything inside it goes to the discard.

He patrolled the firebird - an error, I’m gonna Arrest that shiz. I think I am actually going to hold the Jurisdiction rather than the Sarge as there aren’t that many units left in my deck, and I get the feeling an Injunction may be clutch next turn. I also think I actually a) want more more round of techs and b) value looking at his hand next turn to decide on whterh to Injucntion or Free Speech more next turn than an extra gold, so I am going to prep my LS rather than worker! Now, how to patrol… his biggest attackers health wise is a midband Troq at 4. I have no way of having a 4 attack SQL, but can make him spend two attacks with a +1 Overeager in SQL, so let’s go for that I guess. The rest… pretty whatever. Plan next turn is to use 4 or 5 gold on either a Free Speech or Injunction, play an Air Hammer, and trade in a load of stuff with some buffs to set up for another Engine turn the turn after.

Putting Firebird in patrol vs Blue is something I’m not proud of, honestly.

Well, I’m probably dead here but a pair of Molting Firebirds are one thing that the current Blue lineup will actually struggle to deal with. I might lose uh a lot of buildings here, but I can wreak havoc. Sadly this probably means no Tech II for Hotter Fire, but if I get lucky I’ll have it back up in time.

@James’s turn!

Happens to the best of us.

Thoughts

Well, he has a hand full of spells, but they’re weedy ones, especially with no Jaina. I am going to have to Injunct those Firebirds. I can’t afford the Hammer, and can’t worker if I play the Sarge, so I guess I hold the Sarge for a garrison, sarge, cadets turn next.He could kill my Sarge with a wither + spark, but whatever, I’ll have another.

Your building inspector was dead from sparkshot.

Cool. Move one rune from Sarge to Scribe for the extra damage to break T1, I’ll put BI in my discard and redraw before doing my next turn.
