27

We’re still waiting for a card play from AZ, right?

28

I'd assume the card play is cold snap, since Amby can go immune at any time.

29

Cold Snap is, indeed the one I was going to play first. May be a teensy bit problematic if we hit a Sonic Mine, but we'll deal.

30

I'm going to be at my data-free part-time job all day, so I'm putting in conditional orders now. I'll try to cover the likely contingencies; y'all have my permission to alter things as needed for contingencies I don't forsee.

 

HP: 18-ish

Hand: Coolant Blast, Sub-Zero Atmosphere, Modular Realignment, Focused Apertures x 2, Hoarfire

In Play: Null-Point Calibration Unit, Focused Apertures, Cold Snap,

Trash: Onboard Module Installation, Glacial Structure

Additional Effects: Any cold damage done to me causes HP to be regained instead. Increase cold damage dealt by me by 1.

---------

Start: All bad guy targets take 2 cold damage

Play a card: Hoarfire. Do 3 cold damage to (in priority order) Ambuscade, Chupacabra, me. Do 2 fire damage to Chupacabra or any of Ambuscade's devices. I take 2 cold and 1 fire damage, net heal 1 [19-ish]

I don't desperately need another play right now, but if I get one it goes to Impale (on Ambuscade, even if he goes immune) or Sub-Zero Atmosphere, in that order of priority.

38

My Flak Jacket is destroyed, and I prevent the Rat Beast damage.

39

phantaskippy, AZ only heals himself 1 from the Hoarfost, correct? He doesn't have the Isothermic Transducer yet. EDIT: Never mind, I missed the Thermodynamics. Fixing things now. The Rat Beast will hit AZ, correct?
