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

In Play:  Velociraptor Pack [5]

Trash:

 

Time to choose, summon a relic or wait?

47

I revealed and replaced Lead From The Front. And at this point I'm not sure if a relic would be better or worse... I think I'm tentatively in favour?

48

Reveal and discard Prayer of Despairation

49

For the relic, can you say more about your reasoning?  I'm leaning against.  The next round will hurt, but there's no ongoing/equip destruction in the deck, so the longer we get set up the better.  Grim88, would you be up for using your Hypersonic Assaults?  That would help keep the villains down for the next 2 rounds, or 3 if I use Vernal Sonata. Also, don't some of the relics hurt?

50

I agree with dpt. One relic makes zombies more powerful and two of them force the choice between discarding/destroying and taking damage. If we start having to destroy cards now (each hero has to do it each turn), getting set up is going to be really hard.

51

Yeah, the longer we can set up, the better for us (also, I certainly don't mind taking damage)

52

I shall bow to the majority view then.

53

Is the Profane Zealot not at 3 health?

America's Greatest Legacy

HP: 13

Hand: Back-Fist Strike, Danger Sense, The Legacy Ring, Fortitude

In Play:

Trash: n/a

Additional effects: +1 damage for everyone!

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

Start of hero turn:

Play a card: Backfist Strike; kill the Profane Zealot.

Use a power: Gung-Ho!: Omnitron-X regains 1HP and gets to Timeshift someone. Do yourself to get the Gaussian Coil Blaster out before your turn, and that way I don't get the Lead From The Front that I won't need if Tachyon's gonna Hypersonic Assault.

Draw a card: Lead From The Front

End of hero turn:

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

HP: 13

Hand: Lead From The Front, Danger Sense, The Legacy Ring, Fortitude

In Play: Inspiring Presence

Trash: Backfist Strike

Additional effects: +1 damage for everyone!

55

Sounds good. The Coil Blaster comes out. Do you want the next Timeshift, or should I send it to AA?

56

Is the Profane Zealot not at 3 health?

You are correct.  fixed.

57

I'll take it, if I may.

58

Ooh, if Tachyon does the Hypersonic Assault then I won't take damage from the Sable Pin and don't need to destroy a card.  I was getting all worried, but this is much nicer!

59

How much do we want to try to damage Gloomy on his front side?  I can go with Divine Focus now, otherwise I'll be dropping Absolution/Zealous Offense the next two turns

60

I don't actually know how to play Fanatic very well, but it seems like Divine Focus would mean that you're taking a lot of damage and not able to build up your hand at all. If we were already set up and just needed a little more damage output to finish him off, this would be great. This early, I would tend to lean towards Absolution/Zealous Offense.
