Wow.  I don't think I've ever seen someone incapped on the second turn before.  This looks like it's going to be a short game.

I suspected it might happen, but I thought I'd get through to the end of this turn with 1 health. 

Sorry about the delay, I had to go out of town suddenly.

Ooooh. Top card of Sky-Scraper's deck into play:

Ugh. Rest and Recover. Heal 1 [6], draw Linking Incursion, and put Cortex Hyperstimulator back into my hand.

Guise puts Selling Out from top of deck into play.....dang

Sorry guys, I've been crazy busy over the last couple days. I'll update tonight.

So anybody got any news from Ranis? And if not what do we do when we hit the one week mark of absence from the forum? Do you guys want me to play his turn ifhe doesn't come back?

I would say play his turn.  

my sanity is in the balance.

I second.

I third.

Ranis' turn played. I just hope you guys didn't expect a roll over and die play as that's not my style.

Haka's Turn in replacement of Ranis

 

DDA: Haka of Battle Draw Elbow Smash, Ground Pound Discard: Enduring Intercession, Ta Moko, Punish the Weak The next damage dealt by Haka is increased by 3 (should be enough to smash the crushing cage with the Taiaha)

Eternal Haka

Ground Pound Discard Elbow Smash and Vitality Surge
Power: Haka of Knowledge; draws Taiaha no haka cards  to discard
Draw: Vitality Surge
End:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HP: 5 (-1)
Play: Ta Moko, Ground Pound
Hand: Taiaha x2, Savage Mana, Dominion, Vitality Surge

Trash: Vitality Surge, Elbow Smash,Haka of Shielding, Enduring Intercession, Ta Moko, Punish the Weak

Effects:

Damage Taken -1 (Ta Moko)

Non-Hero Cards cannot deal damage (Ground Pound)

Next Damage dealt by Haka increased by 3 (Haka of Battle)

I can let someone play a card. Any ideas?

I would suggest Haka or The Scholar.   Sky-scraper still can't play cards until that Crushing Cage is removed.  I know with my current hand I can't take out the manifestations which still have DR 2

I'd say Dominion for some out of turn card draw if ever one can put ongoings or cards on top of decks with incap. Kinda kicking myself for not keeping the elbow smash wich could have destroyed the crushing cage.

It's worth noting that I think the only manifestations Infinitor has left in his deck are 1x Twisted Miscreation and 2x Crushing Cage.

 

Also, what happens if a hero is incapped with a Crushing Cage attached to them?

It would stay on that character I would think.  

Yup like links it has no bound character transfer
