Our draw pile is:
6 APPs ?
2 HI
1 Deathsworn
1 Dandelion Witch

I’d rather go Mystic than Monk + GoS. And I’d rather go Monk than HI. But there isn’t much between them.

2+ card stars we won’t draw for a bit beats a Mystic we won’t draw for a while in my book
The Monk looks like it could be useful and there could always be another 1star under there…

It’s early to start buying cards purely on honor points. I’d rather have a Mystic and flexibility than an extra honor point.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-07-31T12:41:18.000Z

True. I think we are about to banish 2 Apps and our Deathsworn, so it would be good to stock up a bit on runes or power. (Runes, in this case.)

I’m amazed at how we’ve had important decisions every single turn!

I’d say 90% chance he takes the Autobuilder this turn.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-07-31T12:45:22.000Z

It’s the most attractive card on the board. I love me some Autobuilder 5.0. Now that they’ve fixed that pesky bug.

opkopk · 2013-07-31T12:49:54.000Z

Eek! I had Askara confusion, happens all the time…

The more I look at this The more I think we might have to buy a useful card here. We’ll banish 3 here next turn (hopefully) and have enough draw cards to have pulled 8 this one hand. Perhaps Mystic.

We can’t stop him from efficiently converting either 5 white or 5 red into 5 stars this next turn and probably the one after as well. Big hill to overcome still.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-07-31T12:53:21.000Z

I think the game pretty much ended when he nabbed Akam. Sure, he doesn’t last, but he lasts long enough to make a serious difference.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-07-31T12:53:35.000Z

Took Mystic. His turn!

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-07-31T12:55:39.000Z

At least we’ll kill some stuff efficiently with the Deathsworn Warrior, and it’s not so late that we want to hang on to him for his measly 1 point. Woulda been nice to draw both Heavy Infantry so we can kill the Polaris Demon. Still could happen, I guess, we have the Dandelion Hotty to draw another card.

Yay!!! we finally get to esscan the DW and 2 APPs!!! Shoulda happened 3 times ago.

If Jakey goes white like AT thinks then we draw the other HI with the Witch or Minotaur or both and kill the Polaris.

Our draw pile is:
3 APPs
1 HI
1 Askara (draw two, banish)

Chances are quite good we can kill the Polaris.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-07-31T13:12:12.000Z

Wait, do we have two Askara of Fate? I thought we only had the one, taken with the SCE. I’ve lost track. We’ve already played one, it’s in the discard.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-07-31T13:25:15.000Z

We have two!

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-07-31T13:45:22.000Z

We are the banishing gods. Though Askara of Fate bugs me since giving an extra card to your opponent(s) can hurt you badly if the timing is right.

I’ve never been a big fan. We end up with six cards, he ends up with six cards. It’s a null.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-07-31T13:50:44.000Z

But we get six first, and our deck is going to get better and better.

We do have last turn. That makes it great for us specifically.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-07-31T13:58:42.000Z

Good point!
