Killing the Nihilist reveals a second Nihilist. So, status quo, minus our killing power:
We have 4 runes. We could take a second Delver; or take D of E; or take Deathdealer; or burn the hand.
Yikes, I just noticed that the Hive Mind has less than 3 hours to finish this game. I think this is a wrap! If we finish, it will be with Scott on his own…
I used our 4 runes to take the Delver.
50/50 that we’d pull the Paladin to activate our Void construct, and we did!
Anniebanannie deliberates…
3 hours? That’s 179 minutes more than necessary for Scott to lead us to eternal glorrrrryyyyyyy
Egads! It seems as if Dave will score many points this turn. The only good news is that he will cycle when he draws his two bonus paladin cards, and the scion and paladin will be unavailable for his next cycle. Let’s see what order APBA decides to execute things this turn.
Killed Nihilist with Scion and then the Sower.
Here’s how Dave finished out his big turn:
I played the Scryer, drawing and discarding an app.
I played the Delver, banishing an app.
I bought Deathbound Druid (hoping to score) and D of E (hoping to transform).
Really a weak round for us.
Dave racked his construct, activating Alset, and managed to draw a Mystic and an App, which gave him enough points to buy Dhartha. He killed the banishing monster and is now contemplating what to banish.
This picture from Dave highlights our only hope:
Dave decides to banish Wildgear Druid revealing Wolf Shaman.
I played the Scryer drawing Deathbound Druid; played the Druid banishing an App; played the Everbloom; played our runes and bought Timestream Seer. The last was a close choice between that and another Delver. I chose the Seer to increase the chances of Lifebound scoring and transforming our Scripture. We’re ahead on Honor points but only for the moment.
This is the point in the game when I always go check who went first.
We did. :(
Dave’s turn:
With no draws or banishes in our turn, I played it out straight. We took the Deathdealer Noble because of its honor value.
In our hopefully-not-last turn, we drew FIVE APPRENTICES.
lol
We took the Black Watch for points.
BTW if anyone’s wondering WTF why are we playing so fast!!! It’s cuz the Hive Mind has very little time left on the timer.
