[XCAPS20] ROUND5 James Monoblack vs Akiata [Balance/Growth]/Finesse

Hi @James!

Just wrapped the round four match and thought it’d be a good idea to create the thread for our game so you knew we were on. Looks like we’re both fighting for survival this round.

VORTOSS RUINS: Players can’t build the heroes’ hall or tech lab add-ons, but automatically get their effects.

I daresay Black’s heroes are at an advantage on this map… although I’m not so sure about the tech lab effect. If we even make it to Tech II. :worried:

Best of luck, should be a good game!

Hey, thanks! Yeah this game sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing what happens. GLHF!

If only I had deteriorate in this hand! But I don’t. Plan A on this map is to early Metamorphosis somehow. Thus, I want to level Vandy ASAP and get out another hero, preferably scoring a hero kill on him along the way. Plan B is abomination/TerrasQ I think? So, for the Meta play… I want to save up gold whilst maintaining pressure. I also want to have a level 5 vandy and another hero out the turn before I draw the Meta. I’m not going to aim to meta next turn, as I can’t max vandy and have another hero out; so I’ll aim for T4 meta as optimum. So, next turn, I want to max vandy and have a hero, which costs a max total of 6 gold, plus anything else I want to do. I have to watch out for buffs on that panda. I could get a hero this turn, and then use my other two gold to either get a garthskele and dave or a rogue. Rogue in sql blocks arg and requires buff-arg or panda to kill; RG-arg could still then score a hero kill. any hero in SQL is killed by a RGPanda. I guess my best option is Jandra and save one; killed by an RGPanda, but then Arg can’t take Vandy, and if Jandra survives I can use Vandy’s max to buff her for a good overpower next turn maybe. Saving the gold rather than getting a T1 is a clear meta flag, and may inpire a Tower by him, but I might not even care about it I think. What do I tech? it depends how hard I want to rely on meta. If all the way, double dark pacts maybe to max the chance of T4 metadraw. If not, then… gargoyle? Combos well with stuff vandy does, but a bit expensive, and I have no T1. Nether drain might be a good one - any levels on arg and I get a discount on what I want to do next turn… let’s do that, it’s cheese but great if it works.

Re James' thoughts

Abomination+terras q… genius!
Also nether drain always grants levels even if it doesn’t drain them. They’re two separate clauses.

My Wisps!! :astonished:

Ugh, dealing with Deteriorate and StW is a bit of a nightmare. Not to mention the looming possibility of a Shadow Blade to boot.

I think a sacrificial River makes some (or the most) sense here, at least the Black starter spells are no use against her.

OK, before I doubletech meta, what could wreck me here? the plan as it stands: DP. If I draw deteriorate, deteriorate panda (6), Garth and max vandy. If I don;t draw deteriorate, but do draw ND, garth (5), StW (3), ND Vandy to 3 (2), max Vandy (0), kill River with Vandy, patrol Garth. This could be wrecked by RG + FF Arg, or by Fencer + RG, or fencer + FF + Arg, or by fencer fencer, or by Fencer + Starlet + Arg all scoreing a hero kill on Garth. I can defend against some of that by skipping my worker to get myself a 3/3 Vandy-ised skepeton to patrol, which blocks most of above. If I get ND AND deteriorate, I’m laughing as I can get a skeleton AND build a tech 1. Chance is 1/3 od that happening. If I get the 1/3, then double meta is great as gives 70ish% of drawing next turn and then I can Garth out a tech 1 too. If I don’t get the 1/3, is it too risky? All of above are 2 card combos for him, and he drew 5 from 9 which includes 1 RG, one FF and lets say 2 fencers. So it looks pretty likley that he would get one of these combos. So maybe I should tech more conservatively on the assumption I don’t hit my 1/3 and have to make a different play, or decide I am comfortable with the worker skip. Is it worth it for a ~70% chance of a T4 meta? He would build a tower for 2 and have 4 to spend; he might just max Arg, or might play a T1. Worst case there… centaur? Garth kills and Vandy gets the tech kill. I’m still left in quite a strong position. And if I don’t get the meta? Same as any tech draw whiff I guess. However, I would be better positioned if I did something else this turn maybe. Oh whatever, I’m going to try the cheese (this may be why I don’t win too much).

Draw 1 - deteriorate, excellent. 50/50 for glory. Draw 2… Graveyard. Drat. Any point in not patrolling Garth? River is dead, no grappling hook, no green spells that target patrollers, no midori or arg abilities that target them… If I have missed a way he can get through the skele then I want the gold. Skele - any way he can do 3 and then 3 damage? yes - fencer + starlet + arg, so I do want it in SQL to protect the heroes.

“Skeleton of Power” rules! Definitely stealing that whenever I doom a skelly. \m/ :skull: \m/

Note your base is at 17 from Dark Pact.

Well the idea here is to make Metamorphosis less impactful, James doesn’t have the funds to play it and summon another hero… 1 injured meta-Vandy isn’t quite so scary.

If it’s online then Tech I Tiny Basilisks might make good hero killers…

Dinosize - drat. Not sure I could have done anything to prevent it though, and the skeleton was the right play I think. No second hero makes my meta far less valuable - I just get invisibility and +2/+2 for 6, which is ok, but not superb. So much so, in fact, that it might be worth delaying it by a turn, as the threat of a turn 4 meta made him skip a worker and invest quite a lot into killing Garth so I have gained a bit of value already. I’ll be sad if I don’t draw it again though… I could roll the dice again and play a dark pact hoping to NOT draw the second meta, and thus ensure a meta next turn, and maybe get STW to deal with the fencer whilst Vandy kills Arg, and I can get a better unit. Let’s risk it. Tech - another DP and and a strong agressive T1 unit I think. Draw 1 - no meta, phew. Draw 2 - got away with it. No STW though. Orpal for meta next turn. Some defence. Float 1, so if Orpal dies I can still Garth-meta (though if he can kill orpal, he can kill Vandy… hm. Nothing better to do than float it though - I could build a tech 1, but I DON’T want to reshuffle and draw one yet as I plan meta next turn and I might want to tech a death and decay first. Skeleton as an extra chump blocker in case of another fencer --> two attacks.This should be fine - I’m ahead on cards and board position, and not even really behind on economy. It will be bad if Vandy dies somehow ofc, but I don’t THINK he has a way? Something with discord to get rid of the skele maybe, and a starlet…? Can’t be bothered to math it out now.

I don’t see a rich earth in play

He just doesnt have any float, carry on :smiley:

Well, I can’t be quite so discouraging of Metamorphosis this turn. I’ll build Tech II and forgo the tower for now… The tower would be broken for just the loss of just one of Orpal’s hit points, and I don’t think James can manage a double tech break this turn…


Well geez, woulda been nice to pull one of the three basilisks out of the deck!

Meta time. So what do I attack? I can destroy one tech building, kill either patroler, or just unload 10 into the base. Tech II cards I would be concerned about from him - not that many actually? sure, a lot of them are big beefy things but not as big and beefy as my demon heroes. River spells to be concerned about: two step onto fencers I suppose. I am more concerned about arg buffs than that tbh. He is going to have 8 gold next turn. Arg (6), dinosize (2), starlet does 14 damage but means he cannot build that crucial tower. If he doesn’t build a tower and I just unload this turn, I win next turn, and can also burn him with DPs. Eeeergh aaaallll innnn? Or play it a bit safer? FINE a bit safer.

This is a fun one to watch!

So now Death and Decay is a distinct possibility. As ultimate spells go - it’s really got quite the deluxe feature set! Maxbanding River is a bit of a waste of gold, but I’m hoping it will wear down Orpal, and a free Prospector isn’t bad. Shield’s Fencer from StW, and might even net me some cash next turn.

Decay time. So which building do I attack? The tower to prevent him using a dinosize fencer to kill a hero? the base to put him on 5? Another D&D will deal 7 to the base, and if I still have two heroes at that point I can just punch once to take the detection and then run it down. I think me losing a hero is first step to his comeback if that is a thing at all, so I’ll take out the tower and then dark pact into the second D&D next turn if I need to. Anything I need to be scared of not patrolling? Fencers have haste. He doesn’t have the gold to double dinosize anything, so that’s whatever. He can play big basilisks with his tech 2, but that’s also whatever if I just win the game with burn at this point. OK, no tower to allow a dinosize fencer to kill Orpal for you.

Winning is easy - just draw Death and Decay bro. Maybe I should have respected that tech II more last turn though, as that ancient is a bit scary if I don’t draw it… here we go, DARK PACT. Draw 1… nope. OK, 2/3 of drawing either the DP or the D&D, draw 2… It’s the second DP, phew! A nerve wracking finish for me, though probably there was something I could have done to remain ahead this turn :smiley:

Ayyy GG! I don’t think there’s anything cheesy about it - on this map it’d be madness to go any other way. I didn’t have a great deck to counter and just had to hope I got lucky.

Well played, it was tense! Good luck in the rest of the tournament!

indestructible HH vs black is p harsh. You played well, but black here can really shine
