Ascension - Qt3 league

The Hive Mind has gotten awfully small. The last turn it had only two bees.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-01T04:44:22.000Z

Really just a queen and a drone! But I figured that you would agree with the Lionheart play. Our next turn looks to be a bit more wild.

opkopk · 2013-08-01T04:53:36.000Z

Bzzz, Bzzz.

Witch first, then Skeptics, both. Then we see what we’re dealing with.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-08-01T04:56:12.000Z

Yeah, there’s no reason to delay the card drawing this turn.

Dave Perkins:

Do you sleep.

Do you? There were like 2 full turns between when I went to bed and woke up.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-01T05:04:50.000Z

He Honey’d the Temple Guardian and then Raven’d it into his deck, killing the Growmites.

Our turn!

I don’t think that we want to end the game on this turn. I suspect that his last hand will be so-so, and ours might be boss. But I’ll draw cards and see.

Why so many HI, lord?

I would discard a HI here. Your buzzing?

scottagibson · 2013-08-01T05:20:15.000Z

Yes, I would discard an HI & play the other Skeptic.

Does he really have 33 cards?

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-08-01T05:27:12.000Z

Discard a Heavy Infantry.
Play the other Skeptic.

This

Weird what happens when you buy cards that do more than control the middle.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-01T05:42:10.000Z

Now I really don’t think we should end the game this turn. Buzz?

scottagibson · 2013-08-01T05:52:11.000Z

Discard an HI. Banish Sadranis. Then what?

opkopk · 2013-08-01T05:52:58.000Z

toss APP
buy Snake Shaman Lest he Honey Siren it
banish sadranis or sensei
kill kill kill

Lantz · 2013-08-01T05:53:41.000Z

Gross. Buy the Sensei due to his 3/2 cost/value ratio. See what comes up. Probably burn the pool down to 1 with the HI and waste the Askara…

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-08-01T06:19:35.000Z

Discard Eternal Askara
Buy Arha Sensei
Kill cultists unless we got a monster - note that killing a monster will end the game.

Why not banish Sadranis? We don’t want him to use it this turn. There’s not much chance of that, but why take it?

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-01T06:32:23.000Z

I strongly urge the Hive Mind not to end the game this turn. His next hand will be dull, and ours could be terrific.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-08-01T06:36:24.000Z

I am not sure exactly what he has left, but it’s not like he has the Eye of Destiny in play. Yes, Honey Siren / Card Drawing gets him a hero he just bought, but he needs that and 5 additional runes in 3 cards to get Sadranis in play.

CLWheeljack · 2013-08-01T06:47:59.000Z

Discard the askara, take the Sensei, and draw it down to 1. We want 1 more turn.

I’d also accept tossing a HI, and banishing the snake shaman.

I agree, but if there’s no better use for the Askara, I’d take Sadranis off the table rather than discarding Askara.

Iron, should we remove that link from your post so it doesn’t seem like we are stalkers? ;) not sure what the etiquette is.

I like the idea of him having a google alert or something and stumbling across this thread accidentally.

“Doo de doo, let’s look at the internet. Hmm, some kind of forum mentioned me? That’s cool. OHMYGOD THESE PEOPLE ARE CREEPY AAAH!”
