Sentinels Deckbuilding, Game Four: Fourth Time Lucky?

Inspiring Presence; everyone gets 1 HP and we all deal extra damage

Expat draws Mental Divergence due to Leadership.

 

I should be able to take out Trueshot next turn.  Play Shotgun - blast with same, and then have Platform Bot finish her off. (Thank you Inspiring Presence.)  Assuming The Dreamer doesn't roll out something that gives her DR.

The Final Wasteland

VICTORY TO VILLAINY

 

 

DECK MAKEUP:

The Dreamer:

  • Dark Hero x2
  • Granite Oni x2
  • Grotesque Arachnoid x2
  • Macabre Spectre x2
  • Whipacorn x2

Citizen Dawn:

  • Citizen Summer
  • Citizen Winter
  • Citizen Truth
  • Citizen Dare
  • Citizen Hammer
  • Citizen Assault
  • Devastating Aurora x2

La Capitan:

  • La Paradoja Magnifica
  • Trueshot
  • Final Breath
  • Battle Forged
  • Siege-Breaker

Omnitron:

  • Electro-Pulse Explosive x2

 

I think The Dreamer is the best way to make a minion deck, because a) on her flip side she gets like four card plays a turn, b) you can't use AoE attacks without slaughtering her, and c) you have to wait for her deck to cycle instead of pounding on her (indeed, if it weren't for the Ship you'd need two cycles of the deck to get all the projections in her trash). Perhaps it's a particular strength of building around the Dreamer; even the strongest of heroes keep getting hit.

Right, who's up next? :D

So, Trueshot, Final Breath, and Battle Forged were all Hypersonic Assaulted - they can't deal damage. Only Siege Breaker and Whipacorn should hit us.

NOT DEAD YET!

I think we're at  3, 3, 3, 1, X and the Whipacorn hit the Environment monster.

Oh, and I am slightly disappointed that the villain card that could deploy Omnitron components without worrying about losing them due to damage did not take advantage of the opportunity.  :wink:

3/3/3/1/x sounds right.

 

 

Assuming 3/3/3/1/X is correct:

Naturalist

HP: 3

Hand: Temporal Grenade, Displaced Armory, Sudden Contract, By Any Means, Surge of Strength, The Predator's Eye, Cornered Beast, Natural Form's Power, Natural-Born Vigor, Durasteel Chains

Play:

Trash: Jim's Hat, Displaced Armory, Flying Smash, Inspiring Presence, The Deadly Crocodile, Fling Into Darkness, Team Communication

Effects:

[hr]

Start:

Play: Displaced Armory - take Jim's Hat from the trash and put it into play; deal some meaningless damage

Play: Natural-Born Vigor

Power: Transform - put The Deadly Crocodile into play

Power: The Deadly Crocodile - deal 2 (3-1) melee damage to Dark Hero [3]

Draw: The Predator's Eye

End:

[hr]

HP: 3

Hand: Temporal Grenade, Sudden Contract, By Any Means, Surge of Strength, The Predator's Eye (2), Cornered Beast, Natural Form's Power, Durasteel Chains

Play: Jim's Hat, Natural-Born Vigor, The Deadly Crocodile

Trash: Displaced Armory (2), Flying Smash, Inspiring Presence, Fling Into Darkness, Team Communication

Effects: Damage dealt by the Naturalist is increased by 1

So plan: I will stop everything out there from dealing damage one more round at least. If we need it, I can lightning reflexes + mistbound as well. Hoping against hope that we see another grease gun come out from team leader.

Edit: nooo! I need a damage boost to stop seige breaker.

Edit Edit: With Citizen Truth coming up, I don’t think we’ll win. Shame though, without that second Aurora, we stood a decent chance.

So, I could change one of my card plays to give you a damage boost against Siege Breaker. Truth will be a problem, yes.

MISTBOUND YES!

 

I can stratosphere Siege Breaker, you mistbound and hypersonic and we live another round!

 

Then I need to find a grease gun.

Sounds like a plan.

BluehairedMeercat: Just so we are on the same page, I need you to stack the environment deck with Con’s Bunker and Ancient Library, and then make sure the Dreamer plays nothing but projections. I promise to look the other way if Citizen Truth gets “lost” somehow and doesn’t come out when Dreamer can play cards.

*thinks*

Nah.

Comment:

Got Dark Hero out of the way, put another target in play, and tried to chip villains down so that after the Hypersonic Assault if the Environment plays something that preys on low HP non-environment cards it will have villains to chew on.  IF we're more concerned with getting a "high" HP hero target out I can replace Raptor Bot with Champion Bot and give the Whipacorn 3 HP back.

Can I salvage Yard for Omni's card play?  If not I'll do salvage/grease next round using his play.

I honestly forgot I switched a salvage yard in for I think the second Gene-bound shackle.  I'm glad I did.

I don't even remember what is in my own deck.

 

Also if no one minds I have a great idea for Match #5 that I'd like to do, have the villain ready to go.  If someone else is dying to go that's cool too.

Sure why not! Play your Salvage Yard.

SALVAGE YARD!!!

I take Dual Crowbars and Grease Gun back to my hand.
