(I'm happy to continue the Miss Information game if people want to keep fighting, but here's another anyway...)
Is this original or promo Spite? I'll take Chrono-Ranger.
Starting hand: Temporal Grenade, Sudden Contract (2), Hunter and Huntee
DW Expat please.
EDIT: Starting with Submachine Gun, Flak Jacket, and Speed Loading x2.
Scholar please.
Edit:
Starting hand: offensive transmutation, alchemical redirection, transmutive recovery, expect the worst.
Original alive Spite.
Tempest!
DW Nightmist
Opening hand: Mistfueled Recovery, Starshield Necklace, Oblivion, Planar Banishment
Advanced, right?
Since we don't have anyone with reliable deck-digging (Nightmist might manage to Attune a Premonition a turn or two earlier, but this is nothing compared to Wraith Impromptu-Inventing an Eyepiece or Dark Visionary coming with Turmoil built-in) to get Lab Raids early, and even Tempest + Chrono Ranger + Expat are hard pressed to race the amount of healing Spite has, I predict that we're in for a frustrating slog of a game. I will probably spend most of my turns drawing 2 and discarding to save Bystanders.

ST: Spite regains 7HP.
ET: Play the top card of the villain deck. Then Spite deals the highest-HP hero 4 energy damage.

When Spite deals damage, he regains that much HP.

Whenever a hero uses a power, Spite deals them 2 toxic damage and discards the top five cards of their deck.
When Good Samaritan is destroyed, Spite regains 5HP.

Well, this is going to be an awfully boring game for Nightmist with that drug flipped first turn

If people want I can stop him from doing damage so after my turn people can be a bit more care free with their powers. It’s earlier than I would normally do it, also I’ll take the hit for thr lost child.
Yeah, same here. I've seen someoen play DWEP, but he never once used Aim, and I might not either at this rate. Just have to fish until I find a Tactical Shotgun, as anything else is a waste. I can confirm this, though, from my first game against Spite: if Misty can get Mistbound out, we've essentially won the game, as once she has the highest HP, he can't hurt her, and thus can't lifetap off of her. Were I you, I might even take the damage Attuning to try and get Mistbound sooner, though it does risk it being milled.
Maybe wait a round or two to stop his damage. I'm going to get a few bounties set up so we can hit him a little harder and he'll be doing more damage later.
Yeah, that's my biggest issue. I dont care about the damage, but the milling leaves Attunement completely useless. Utter dreck. Strategically, I'm thinking I'll either Enlighten myself to hope for Mistform or Astral Premonition Spite and mill the deck. Thoughts.

I'm inclined to say we don't want the extra card play, especially with Time Flies out, but will defer to other opinions.
