NOTES: Now we've got entomb! remember it has an HP so we could actually hit it to destroy it if we so desire.

64

So now we have to take out Entomb so that it doesn't take out everything else (they would have 1 HP left).

Oblivion is also useless until Imbued Vitality leaves.

65

I'll take the 3.

Notes: We've almost got the villains cleared, anyone able to finish off both Phalanges and Entomb?

67

I can use Planar banishment to take out Embued Vitality and Entombed, but I don't think it is worth it.

I can play Heedless Lash to kill one and redirect my damage to kill another.

Or I can redirect my power to kill one.

Those are all my my options short of drawing more cards.

68

I was just reviewing people's cards. It looks like Tachyon has an Accelerated Assualt and Sucker Punch, so she could easily wipe out the remaining 3 targets. If you wanted you could just target Akash with the Heedless Lash and the redirection to her aswell. Unless you have something else in mind. Though NightMist and drawing more cards is always an excellent option!

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

EDIT: Fixed the errors.

71

Yeah the cards you discarded sounded alright, though if you have multiple copies of them you always want to discard the lowest for redirection, and save the highest for Starshield if you ever get it into play.

 

Though there are a couple of errors in your play. NightMist can only redirect the first time she was dealt damage, which would of been Heedless Lash, so you would redirect that 3 and would take the 4 damage from Scouring Mist. Also putting Scouring Mist into play is slightly different than Playing a card, so you wouldn't regain HP for chaining it. So you would only be at 3 less HP while Akash would have 1 more HP. Went ahead and fixed it in the Doc. Still a very good turn though!

 

Now to type up the environment and villain turn before heading to bed.

74

No! the play of Living Rockslide discarded a Time Flies off the top of the environment deck. Granted I don't really have that many cards I want to play, but still.

75

I was thinking something completely different. I wanted to keep a bunch of high numbers in the discard so I can Mist of Time and be guaranteed some high numbers for the next couple of turns.

76

Oh yes! That makes sense than, nevermind me.
