Game Reports / Better than I imagined.

« on: June 17, 2011, 04:55:16 pm »

Here's a game I played where I started off with a plan, and it ended up working even better than I could have imagined.

Basically, I wanted to grab a tactician and forge to quickly trash down to a very slim deck. However, I picked up a bishop to avoid getting behind on tie breaker points. Once my deck was trimmed down to just golds, I fed the forge to the bishop and a five card deck of (Bishop, gold, gold, gold, x) presented itself.

Game Reports / A Cautionary Tale: Skipping the Witch

« on: June 14, 2011, 11:47:19 pm »

Whenever you're thinking about skipping over a cursing attack, think twice... and then think a third time.

I thought that with a specific plan, I could afford to skip over the Witch. My plans was to spam Bishops using the opponents curses as fodder. Instead, I gave the opponent an ultra trim deck while I struggled to keep up with the curses.

And that's why you don't skip cursing attacks.

I actually made a similar mistake against Sea Hag very recently. I managed a 4/4 split of the Provinces and got the tie breaking Duchy with my Torturer engine... only to lose to the -10 VP from eating the entire curse stack.
