It will be the funzie to end all funzies!
Weird, I wondered what happened in that game - it just disappeared from my list. Sounds like it didn’t matter anyway.
Anyhow, not my best month - my only wins:
bigdruid def scottagibson 103-86
bigdruid def fuzzyslug 94-67
Tyjenks - can’t remember if we played yet this month, so I sent you a challenge. If we’ve already played, then it’s a funzie :)
Another report straggles in:

Hellooo, just wanted to post a quick result before Dave chases me out of the room.
iron barely hangs on for dear life from Dave, Circle of Bananas, as he had an Aiyana/Big Emri/FHQ doomsday machine waiting the next turn, I am sure.
That is all, happy holidays all!
Barely hung on by 20 points! Close shave.
Yeah, but if that games goes two more rounds, that’d easily have been a 20-point win for you.
Maybe four more rounds. But we will never know, thanks to your meddling!

Both points focused strategies that built up too much of a lead for cards to balance out, good games.

Not sure I remember game 1 well, but game two was me point rushing and pulling too far ahead for Dave to catch up, good games!
I was grooming a horse…
…that horse, and thinking about how most of my Ascension games this week have been blowouts, and wondering why. My game with you, Pacman, came to mind, and at that moment our game ended and my phone chimed in my pocket. I checked it right away, just in case it really was a weird coincidence, and it was!
I’m in two games where I am the one with the stupidly awesome deck. Against tecwrtr in Circle of Xmas, I had my original ten cards banished by about round 8, and replaced with cards like Big Emri and Oziah and Cetra. Even crazier is my deck vs Mark Gray, where I have 8 mech constructs including Dream and Project, so I can take two 8 point cards for free every turn.
Pretty fun for the person fiddling with such a deck, but definitely not interesting games. I wonder why most of my games this week feature such lopsided messes?

Woo, just got my invite to the Steam version from Kickstarter. Still missing a lot of features, but the basics seem fine so far.
I think that is partly the effect of Immortal Heroes and the promo packs. I have been playing mostly with SoS and IH (and sometimes some promo packs if the other person sends the invite). I think in general they up the power level in the game, and that increases the swingyness, and soul gems introduce another random variable that can drive big swings.
I looked over my games from this month, and of about 17 league games, only 2 were decided by fewer than 10 points (both losses, and both to Gus!), and the average margin was about 22 points (21.9 something but I think we can round up). So I think the data supports the view that IH games have not been as close lately.
These games I mentioned were decks 2 and 3 with promo deck 2 vs tecwrtr for Bananas, which I won by a couple dozen, and decks 2 and 3 and promo deck 3, vs Mark Gray, in our unicorn series, and which I submit as evidence of manslaughter:
Can anyone top that margin of victory?
