That's what I was afraid of. Oh well I'll still get down to one
Citizen Tears was causing the discard and then 1 damage melee if you discarded. That damage was negated by the environment due to Time Crawls.
Citizen Blood die one damage to lowest HP character. 1 +1 (Citizen Tears being in play) -1 (Time Crawls). That was dealt to Setback.

That was referring to Round 6. Note that in Round 7 that was just posted the damage bonus was taken into account and Blood did 2 damage to Setback, and the heroes took 1 damage from Tears in addition to the discard.
Ah. My mistake.
Setback: A Change from Better to Worse
Start of Turn: n/a
Play: n/a (no cards to play!)
Power: Looking Up--I punch Citizen Truth for net 2 melee [1] and put 3 Unlucky Tokens in my pool (3)
Draw: Cause and Effect
O-X! Get 'em!
Anyone can decide to punch Setback in the face with Friendly Fire, restoring his health and giving him some unlucky tokens.
Does anyone have an argument that they should be a target for Syntactic Analysis (play, discard, or draw the top two cards of your deck)? Targetting Arrow would also be good (+1 damage to a target for a turn).
I already died and resurrected on the Villain turn. Please, no more punching me!
Also, I'm probably the least tactical choice for a Syntactic Analysis.
Discard Accelerated Assault for Tears
Tachyon
Hmm, I ran so fast it almost seemed like I had a new personality for a short time there!

Effects: Play one extra card
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start: I'm really not sure what to do this turn, I use my start of turn to spend 5 minutes considering my play. With Time Crawls I could happily skip and draw 2, with that gone I'm not so sure any more.
Play: I think I play Pushing the Limits and no more cards
Power: I reveal... Fleet of Foot, put it back.
Draw: I'm torn here. With Syntatic Analysis coming up I'm half tempted to put Fleet of Feet back on top and not draw... ... ... Nah, draw it and one other... well wrong choice there! Another Fleet of Foot!

Effects: Play two extra card, draw one extra, Take damage or destroy PtL.
Dawn should still be at 45, she's immune to the damage from Channel the Eclipse right now.
Syntatic Analysis... I really can't decide who would be best right now. If Omnitron is about to wipe the board with Disruptive Flechettes, I think the only bad thing that could happen would be from Setback destroying our stuff, and PtL is there as a sacrifice if that happens; I think the best choice is your choice, whomever you want to see do stuff.

Ok. Go have fun.
Fanatic destroyed Time Crawls so you can play cards and use powers if you wanted. In regards to Syntatic Analysis I'm fine with whoever it's played on though if you want cards that have an instant affect I imagine Tachyon would be the best.
I'd probably use the Syntactic Analysis on Parse. A good damage boost or two could set us up for a nice round.
Right, and I did. I was saying that while Time Crawls was in play I had a "no brainer" choice, skip and draw 2, Fanatic destroying the Environment card forced me to use my brain and weigh my options, curse you Fanatic!
I'll go ahead and play Syntactic Analysis on Tachyon. Tachyon, after Omnitron-X's turn, if you get a chance to play your Lightspeed Barrages, I think that will take Dawn down to be the second-highest HP so she can get munched by the Portal Fiend.
EDIT: Also, I can do 7 damage during my power phase, if you can pull off a little more damage.
sorry, I really should be awake for a while longer before I post as it makes more sense reading that again.
No idea how much I could do, you're relying on me drawing one of two Lightspeed Barrages left in my deck (I've no Lightning Reflexes or Fleet of Foots left in my deck, the only two cards that would get me a card play from my hand), if you think those odds are worth it I'll be happy to try but if you can do more, do it.
OK, I’ll go with the Syntactic Analysis on myself.
