NM drew Astral Premonition, Mistbound, Oblivion. OK, what do you want me to do?
I think you're pretty in the clear as what to do. Not really needed to do anything, so you could use it as set-up time!
Wasn't sure if we still needed Planar Bansihment. Is it cheating to set up an excel program to figure out the probability of drawing a certain magic number?
We don't really need Planar Banish this round as the Bonds was Hypersonic, maybe next round though! I don't think it's cheating to set-up and excell sheet to figure at the chances, might takea while and not be very reliable though

----------------------------
Start of Environment Turn: Nothing
Play a Card: Spinning Vortex, everyone can destroy any number of their equipment/ongoing cards. If you have any in play then you'll deal yourself 3 sonic damage. NightMist won't take any damage anyways as she can't deal damage. Haka will keep his Taiaha in play and take only 1 (29) damage has he had reduction by 2. What about Tachyon and Tempest?
End of Environment Turn: Ethereal Bonds can't deal damage. Spinning Vortex Destroys itself.
----------------------------
In Play: Ethereal Bonds HP 4
Wow. Brambles is really working out well.
Just keep in mind that if Tempy takes damage, he will be the lowest. Just something to think about.
Also, Tachy should just redirect it. Where to?
But Brambles are going to start posing a problem now, so we may need to eliminate them as soon as possible, since we are all getting close to health. Which is sad for NightMist, but with Amulet out it won't be too big of a deal.
I've also already did the villain turn, so just waiting to hear Tempest and Tachyon's decision before posting it.
Edit: Something I realized I had forgotten to do was Play the top card of the Villain deck whenever a Environment target was played. Whoopsies! I'll be sure to apply that from here on out.
I'm going to sweep both Shielding Winds and Cleansing Downpour. I can Reclaim the Downpour on my turn.
Still lowest!

NOTES: I'm thinking Rampage may be a good idea, any objections? The only thing left though is redirecting Tachyon's damage from Sonic Vortex, which can only hit the Brambles, Carapace, Akash, or the Bonds.
Rampage might be a bit drastic at this point. I can scrag the Brambles and the Carapace, with a little damage to one of the Phalanges. Or with the Carapace gone, can do a little straight to Akash.
Or I can Ball Lightning the Carapace and destroy the Allies.
Or I can Stratosphere one of the Phalanges.
Well I would say Akash, since rampage will take out everything else, but wouldn't that be cheating?
Is Rampage worth redirecting?
On my turn I plan on playing Master of Magic, which should set me up for any other card I play.
Yes having the redirecting hit Akash would be a bit cheating, so it probably will hit either the Bonds or Carapace.
Sadly I don't think Haka will be rampaging though, since Grey isn't up for some damage. Maybe Savage Mana or Vitality Surge this round may be good for Haka.
A Ball Lightning doesn't sound too bad, As a Portal Fiend could get a little awkward with Allies of the Earth out.
Edit: Went ahead and applied the damage to the Bonds from Tachyon's redirection just to get it out of the way. As that sounds like the most logical target to me. Unless anyone objects?
Just to pooint out, with something like Chain Lightning, you can target NM as one of the shots, then she can redirect it to a target that was already targeted. (Right?)
Yes you could infact redirect it to a target that has been hit. With the amount of targets in play though I don't think it will be needed this time around.

Also, Am I now the highest in terms of HP? I feel like it should be lower...
Edit: Fixed HP
You're at 24, not 26. So you were the highest until you took 2, now you're tied for second highest with Tempest and Haka is the highest.
