The only valid (and desirable) target is Kismet, I think.

And, for that matter, let's nuke one of the Ongoings on me--let's start with Scattered Mind.

(BlueHairedMeerkat, thanks for catching Volatile Parts.)

84

Yeah, Spike Trap isn't important enough to destroy, this is the last round anyway (unless Kismet gets really lucky).

85

And, err, Volatile Parts hit the Talisman for 2...

[hr]
Edited to let Stealth Bot take some damage.

88

Without meaning to give Unity or Tachyon the shaft, I'm pretty sure that we can win this turn if Expatriette and Argent Adept don't lose much equipment, as I can let Expatriette play the Unload that's sitting on top of her deck.

I'd recommend losing Modular Workbench, Volatile Parts, HUD Goggles, and Submachine Gun.

89

Tach has fleet of foot, so that's a Lightspeed barrage coming in, Unity and Tach should finish it before my turn.

Take my three and Pushing the Limits, Tach can't play enough cards to make keeping it worth while, and If miraculously she has health on my turn I have quick draw.

Unity can get a bot out and Tach can Lightspeed (and Hypersonic if needed) and that is game.

90

I approve of Phantaskippy's plan, but I really don't need Volatile Parts if it's required.

91

Sounds fine on my end.

93

Unity, if you're okay with losing Stealth Bot, we could make sure that we have this in the bag--Stealth Bot's destruction would save you a bunch of hp and deal a few damage to Kismet thanks to Volatile Parts.

94

Volatile parts would actually flip the Talisman.

95

I don't want to take ten damage, so I'll redirect the four to Expat, and then the subsequent ten to Expat, to Stealth bot, explodering it.

VICTORY! :D Another, I'm guessing?

98

I'm in for another round, if we're kicking up a new one.

Does anyone else want to run it, or should I take it up again?
