Sentinels of the Multiverse Game 11

[Reepicheep]

That's fine by me. AZ is gonna be fast asleep in his cryo tank for the next couple of rounds to notice his card draws.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Alright, I'll use the last part of the Harp to heal again.  That makes it the Temple's turn.



Start: Mysterious Ceremonies reveals and discards Shinobi Assassin: Dragon's Student, HP: 3--When this card enters play, it deals the non-Environment target with the lowest HP 3 melee damage. When this card would be destroyed, move it to the top of a Hero deck instead. When this card would be drawn, discarded, revealed, or played, put it into play in the Environment play area.

Shinobi Assassin goes into play and takes out Mr. Fascimile.

Play: Mysterious Ceremonies--At the start of the Environment turn, reveal the top card of the Environment deck. If it is a target, discard it. Otherwise, put it into play. At the end of the Environment turn, 1 player may either draw 3 cards or play 1 card. If no cards are drawn or played this way, destroy this card.

End: We have to decide what to do with each Ceremony--destroy it, play 1 card, or draw 3.  I'm of the mind that maybe we destroy one and use the other to get someone some cards, but I'm willing to go with whatever you think best.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

As of now, we only the Homunculi left.  Things are looking up!

[Deaths Jester]

Whatever you guys decide...

[Glitch Girl]

Don't want two ceremonies in play just in case we start getting targeted, so the destroy one use one for draws sounds good.  Who has teh best chance of getting some healing?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I have the highest potential for healing, as I could potentially kick up 2 hp for everyone + 2 for myself + other effects, but that would take at least 3 very specific cards to set up.  AZ has self healing going already.  You have a rather poor healing card not usually worth the trouble.  I think Expat is probably the best choice for the draw right now.  Could be any of you.  I am fine, especially with my base power giving me bonus plays.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

The good new is that since most of the damage is going to the highest, AZ and I can tank it pretty well. He can potentially heal for at least 5 every turn + do a bit of damage and I can heal for 4 each turn, plus do other stuff.  That's 9 hp we can straight up absorb every round.

[Reepicheep]

That's my plan. I think I'm gonna aim for two or three rounds of just tanking those highest HP hits with a wee bit of damage here and there.

Happy with destroying one ceremony and keeping the other, though I'm not desperate for any card draws anymore.

[Deaths Jester]

So what be the verdict?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Well, everyone seems to agree on the keep one to draw, get rid of the other plan, but no one seems to agree on who gets the draw, other than that AZ and Argeng can do without.

So which of the two of your should get it?

[Glitch Girl]

I can do without a draw for now.  Expat can always use more daka.

[Deaths Jester]

Looks like no one else wants cards, so I guess I'm the one elected to draw...

[Reepicheep]

You're going to need to be our main damage doer, so getting a bigger arsenal in your hand rapidly is the best move. Not to mention you need to get your hands on Prejudice.

[Deaths Jester]

One thing we'll have to watch is the Enviroment's assasins, because once the minions fall Wraith and Expat become the lowest HP targets. Even if I get all my guns out and hit an unload, I won't be able to gnaw enough HP off a villian in one round to save us from being hit by the assassins at least once...

[Reepicheep]

It's not foolproof, but maybe Glitch's eyepiece could move some assassins to the bottom of someone's deck. If the assassin is on mine, I could opt to not draw a card on my next turn.

Edit: just reread and saw that the eyepiece only works on villain decks. Plus, the assassin goes into play when revealed. Too bad. Still, I can keep the assassin sitting on my deck for a while.

[Deaths Jester]

I think they are autoplayed and even if we kept one on AZ's deck, there is already one out in play.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

We actually want AZ ninja to come out and kill the villains.  Once out, they do nothing but sit there until destroyed, so as long as we don't kill them, they will sit there harmlessly.  I don't think the villains have any way to destroy them, so we have total control over the situation.

Also, I have an extremely hectic and busy week, so I'm not sure when or how often I will be updating the game.  Should go back to normal next week.

[Deaths Jester]

Well, we at least know that I've been elected to draw three and then the villians will gang up on us again...

[Glitch Girl]

yay?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I'm back, have gotten a good night's rest, saved Nora Friez in Arkham Knight and am now ready to get this thing going again.

Man, I can not get a good draw...and I thought we just had the Homonculi left to get rid of in the minion category...and didn't AZ get rid of the villians Ongoings?!?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Man, I can not get a good draw...and I thought we just had the Homonculi left to get rid of in the minion category...and didn't AZ get rid of the villians Ongoings?!?

List of Ongoing effect is just for reference.  I do not always remember to update it.  The list of cards in play for each villain is, however accurate and shows not Ongoings.

As you said, we have just the Homoculi, plus the new close that was just played.

[Deaths Jester]

So we have the Grosser too, then? Just trying to make sure for for when I get to my turn and hand out damage.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

So we have the Grosser too, then? Just trying to make sure for for when I get to my turn and hand out damage.

The Grosser is not listed anywhere as being in play. If he's in the spoilers, then that is just so you know what thing in play do.  I sometime purposely do not removed those.  They have nothing to do with whether anything is in play or not.  The list of cards in play is all you need to look at.  I will clean up the effects list though.

[Deaths Jester]

Ah ok, sorry about my confusion there, Cat.

[Reepicheep]

I'll play Cryo Tank and fire off a Thermal Shockwave. I'll hit myself, the clone and Miss Information. Then I'll hit myself with the fire damage and the hit myself wih the resulting cold damage.

Then I think I'm throwing up a ninja.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

AZ draws a Shinobi Assassin, who goes into play.  The clone and the homunculi are tied for lowest right now.  Which should we hit?  I'm thinking the clone so we can continue getting rid of Proletariat.

[Glitch Girl]

Sounds good.

[Deaths Jester]

Works for me.

When we get to my turn I plan on playing an Arsenal Access.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Well, that's 3 out of 4, so we'll continue.

It is now Biomancer's turn.



Start: Nothing

Play: Friend of Foe?: One-Shot--The Hero target with the lowest HP deals the Hero target with the highest HP 3 melee damage.

Argent Adept deal AZ 3 damage.

The Homunculi deal 2 out of AZ, Expat, and Wraith 2 damage. each.  Which two will take it?
