Omni and AA both take awhile to get set up well. As long as the cultists aren't too terrible, I would probably not rush into pulling out the relics. Cultists we can deal with; one the relics are out, we can't really do anything about them until Gloomy flips.
When a Relic is destroyed Gloomweaver takes damage equal to 25 minus the hp of the relic when it was destroyed.
But if they're indestructible, does that mean we can push them into negative HP, so that a destroyed relic could hit Gloomy for any amount of damage?
No thank you. I'll alter the language to get rid of that.
Tachyon starting hand: Hypersonic Blast, Accelerated Assault, Quick Insight, Lightening Reflexes
(I hope we weren't waiting for me to post my starting hand. If so, I apologize.)
Just need Bluehairedmeerkat's starting hand and we are good to go.
To start Gloomweaver puts a Cursed Acolyte, a Profane Zealot and a Chosen Disciple in play, at the start of the Villain turn you can destroy two of them to summon the first relic in the deck.
This would result in:
Two Zombies and 1 relic would enter play, then one zombie would be replaced by one of the two that you destroyed, so two of the Cultists, one Zombie, and one relic.
Everyone put your vote, that way when Meerkat is ready we can go with the first turn.
So, we would be trading one cultist that we kind of get to choose (50% chance) for a zombie and a relic (that we have no control over). I have a slight preference for the known problem and killing the cultists the old-fashioned way until we get better set up.
Back-Fist Strike, Inspiring Presence, The Legacy Ring, Fortitude
Yeah, I think I'm with grysgrl; let's try to get some stuff out before we start summoning relics and the like.
I concur, it’s too soon to be summoning relics.
I'm going to go ahead and post turn 1, if the other three would rather summon a relic now we'll have to change it.

Someone needs to claim the pin. (end of their hero turn discard a random card)
I could take the Pin. I have burst cards in my hand. :)
Makes sense. I'll eventually be getting good card draw, so can take one of these at a later point, but it might actively help you.
Looks like it might be a tough fight!
This is going to be fun. We could either try to shut down the damage for a turn while we get set up (Inspiring Presence + Hypersonic Assault) or we could wail on the big damage dealers with things like Backfist Strike and Absolution
I vote 'get set up'.
America's Greatest Legacy

In Play:
Trash: n/a
Additional effects:
------------------
Start of hero turn:

End of hero turn:
-------------------
HP: 22
Hand: Back-Fist Strike, Danger Sense, The Legacy Ring, Fortitude

I'll take this Timeshift. If it's a component, then it will activate on my turn.
The Timeshift on my turn goes to AA. The next turn goes to Legacy.
Edit:
Oops. I forgot to actually include what happened. I pulled Self Sabotage, which does nothing right now. Discard. Oh well.
Makes a lot of sense.

(You have my starting health at 21. Should be 27)
grim88, everyone took 6 damage during the villain turn. Legacy then did some healing, so you should be at 22.
phantaskippy, the end of turn summary says a Crimson Pin is in play, when earlier you said Indigo Pin. (I like the summaries of the hero HP, thanks.)
Good catch, fixed. (I just hope I can keep track accurately.)
