Ok, I know this is delaying further, but do you guys want me to take out Imbued Fire? If I do, I will hit all non-hero targets for 1, but Anubis will hit someone.
I can take out Anubis on my turn is Imbued Fire stays in play without him hitting anyone else, so it's up to you
Tough decision, you could be getting killed ina round or two if you don't, but then you might want to save destruction for when return with the Dawn is no longer desired.
That's the thing. I'm also saving Cold Snap for when she flips back, since hitting everything every turn is not helpful right now. Out of interest, who would take the hit, and is that going to be a serious problem?
Fanatic would take the hit. Next round we will really want Return with the Dawn gone; maybe you could save Fueled Freeze until then? If you can do any damage to Anubis, I can take him out and then destroy Imbued Fire on my turn. (I can play Flame Spike for 1+1+1 damage, then Pyre for 2+1+1, then destroy Imbued Fire.) I could also just put out Flame Barrier, although that's slightly dangerous.
This turn, I am completely unable to deal damage without hurting myself which is getting dangerous, unless I Fueled Freeze. I could use Glacial Structure to get extra cards, but Anubis would hit Fanatic, or I could skip my play & power phases for an extra draw.
Don't forget that Citizen Dawn is herself a Citizen, meaning there is always 1 citizen in play.
I'm really not sure, it's a tough call, which probably means it doesn't matter so much. I'm thinking we probably want Imbued Fire out of play before the villain turn, which I think means Fanatic will take the hit from Anubis one way or another. I guess my vote is for keeping your Fueled Freeze until we want to destroy Return with the Dawn.
Alright then. Putting Glacial Structure out to be used later.

The Spectre of Anubis had vanished, and the Heroes continued towards the location of the Rod. Staying ahead of Dawn was taking its toll, but they had to reach the Rod of Anubis first. "Look out for the holes!" Ra suddenly yelled, pointing at the floor. They navigated carefully through through the trap, careful not to cross over any openings on the floor.

That Spike Trap is certainly going to be taking out Citizens. The question is whether we need it gone to help Dawn flip back at the start of her next turn. I vote for leaving it, then taking it out if we need to leave it around (eg, with Consecrated Ground).
I'm happy to Consecrate it, not having much else to do on my turn.
The light had grown brighter, it was nearly blinding, and Dawn was a dark figure in the midst of it. The light felt cold now somehow, and more citizens were joining her.
"YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!" Dawn's voice was piercing, and it was having the desired effect, Ra swallowed hard, his hands trembling; and tried to move clear of the Spike Trap faster. "Your a sun god, can you do that?" Ryan asked. He received no answer, things were not looking good.

I went with AZ healing since there are now 6 citizens in play and he was getting pretty low, but if you want to do something else Theta Sigma, let me know.
If you want to plan to leave Spike trap out do so, otherwise someone can destroy an equip to kill it.
All right, we're getting pretty close to the Rod now. We just have to survive Dawn a little longer. The mummy Mdjai is liable to come out and attack everyone, so don't let any Citizens get down to 2HP.
Yes, I'll heal myself this time.
