On my end you're #642. *shrug*

After eleventy-squillion mulligans, DW Nightmist, Setback, DW Expat, and DW Fixer went to Rook City and introduced the Chairman to the sharp end of a crowbar. Now to never do that again until OblivAeon is released and Harpy hopefully ties the team together somehow.

Dark Watch defeat:

Advanced Omnitron at Pike Industrial Complex

Advanced Dawn at Silver Gulch

Advanced Voss at Wagner Mars Base (Featuring Crowbars + Grease Monkey Fist + Friendly Fire + Silver Lining + Oxygen Leak for 30 damage to Voss to heal Setback from 11 to 21 HP). Despite that, the match went on to become increadably close as Fixer was incaped the next turn and NightMist wound up the last hero standing).

Advanced Ambuscade at Enclave of the Endlings.

 

Dark Watch lose to Advanced Spite at Silver Gulch.

The Dark Watch team is full of redirection synergy.  Crowbar to 1 target, then to Nightmist with an amulet.  Jack Handle Setback with multiple Friendly Fires.  RPG Launcher a target and Nightmist.  Oblivion of 2 or less with Driving Mantis and Wrong Time and Place in play.  Your team takes nothing and someone gets targeted for huge damage.  Expatriette may seem like the least synergistic, but she has the easiest time feeding Setback's "Whoops!  Sorry!", although Mr. Fixer can, too, with Tool Box and Bloody Knuckles. 

Their Dark Watch promos are a bit harder to deal with.  The best here is DW Expatriette, followed by DW Fixer.  DW Setback is great with no tokens (but leaves you token starved) or with lots of tokens and no other ongoings.  Plays slower but a bit more predictable and safe.  Otherwise his other ongoings eclipse things.  DW Nightmist is great for setting up her spells for the next turn, but otherwise is better off using Tome of Magic (or whatever it's called) for the extra card each round if using either of her amulets.

Looks like Dandolo missed my last post -- 5 games listed, count went up by 4.

Helped one of my brothers with achievement-hunting:

Captain Cosmic, F6 Tachyon, Ra, Legacy, and Dark Visionary defeated Infinitor at Wagner Mars Base. (Bro got Heroic Infinitor, Flawless Victory, and Infection.)

Legacy, Wraith, Fanatic, and Bunker defeated Grand Warlord Voss at the Block. (Bro got RC Wraith, GI Bunker, and Omnitron-II.)

4 More losses to Advanced Spite with Dark Watch at Silver Gulch.  Apparently reading the cards and knowing how they work is key to winning. Still this match is really hard.

More testing. Termi-Nation Bunker, [REDACTED], DW Expatriette and Xtreme Fanatic against Ambuscade in the Court of Blood. It was a nice, easy game, with Bunker Omnicannoning Ambuscade down to 1 HP, and then Custom Hero being unable to finish him off because Unhallowed Halls. XD
 
Next, Baron hunting in the Final Wasteland, with [REDACTED], Guise, Haka, KNYFE and Mr. Fixer! It was a total rout, the heroes won big time. XD
 
One more! Naturalist, [REDACTED] and Nightmist faced Chokepoint in Insula Primalis. It was a very interesting game, and surprisingly hairy. Thanks to interaction with Custom Hero, Nightmist mostly played the glass cannon role, and didn't get her Amulet out until late. Once she did, though, she ruled the roost, and took Chokepoint down with environment damage.
 
Through some digital trickery, Argent Adept, Tempest and Termi-Nation Absolute Zero faced Deadline in the Tomb of Anubis. He didn't have to destroy the environment, he destroyed the heroes pretty darn well.
 
Next, Xtreme Tempest, Mr. Fixer and Xtreme Fanatic went back to Silver Gulch to stop Kismet! It was a fun, easy game, and a good introduction to Kismet.
 
Next, Hunted Naturalist, Haka and GI Bunker faced Wager Master on the Celestial Tribunal. All it took was a couple global shutdown cards and the heroes won to the odds after three rounds! Hooray!
 
Hunted Naturalist, Mr. Fixer, Setback and the Adamant Sentinels tried to stop Chokepoint from taking over the carnival! They got lucky with the environment cards and just beat the everloving crap outta Chokey.
 
Lastly, Fanatic, Mr. Fixer, Haka and Tempest faced Citizen Dawn on the Mobile Defense Platform. Not only did we have a great team, we got really lucky. Despite dual Channel the Eclipses at one point, we never saw That Card, and a lengthy sojourn on the Sky Deck meant we could take out Citizens with impunity and she never flipped. Victory was brutal and glorious.

I'm kind of curious who the [REDACTED] heroes could be, considering didn't we at least know who all the heroes are and will be by now, if not their exact mechanics?

Anyway, Chokepoint took on Chrono Ranger, The Wraith, Sky-Scraper, Ra and Haka in The Block and got her butt kicked.

Then the Ennead faced Ra, GI Bunker, Scholar and Setback in the Temple of Anubis. With Ra leading the charge, it was a fast and easy win.

Hunted Naturalist, Tempest, Ra, F5 Bunker, and the Scholar fought Ambuscade, Miss Information, La Capitan, Fright Train, and Biomancer in the Ruins of Atlantis. Victory was quite narrow, with Bunker falling to a round of Memory Loss and Naturalist crushed by one of the twin Krakens. (I blame Ambuscade pulling all four damaging Nemeses on the first turn, combined with Miss Information opening with A World Improved > Naturalist has to skip his turn > Deja Vu > A World Improved > Tempest has to skip his turn.)

Sentinels meet-up saw:
966: (all Base) Ra, The Naturalist, Parse and Fanatic versus Apostate in Megalopolis. He got decimated very, very capably. Environment far more trouble than Apostate.

967: Legacy, SS Tachyon, Captain Cosmic, vs Kaargra Warfang in Freedom Tower. SS Tachyon got Chaos Lord on her first turn, and then got Reckless while on Kaargra's turn, then got The Seeker and The Indiscriminate on her next turn. Tachyon became a true force to behold, it was awe-inspiring. She also had on her a CC Energy Bracer that had Stonejaw, giving her play area five titles. She played twelve cards in one round, at one point. She cleared the entire field, and then, with us at 17 points in the Coliseum, she nuked Kaargra with a Lightspeed Barrage with 18 Bursts. That got us two points, putting us at 19! ...and flipped Kaargra over, with no gladiators, so Kaargra came back out at 40 HP again. We ended up losing with 31 victory points, and Tachyon was undoubtedly the Albatross of our game.

968: Minted one shot.
969-976: Six failed attempts and one success with regular Dark Watch (with DW ex-pat) vs. The Chairman in Rook City.
977: DW Dark Watch (except Setback) vs. The Chairman in Rook City.

Sorry, when I redact hero/villain/environment names, it means I'm playtesting my own custom decks. :B Nothing special. Also, I never list games with more than one non-official deck in play! (I'm glad someone finally asked!)

Legacy, Fanatic, GI Bunker and Haka took on Citizen Dawn in the Realm of Discord. A fairly easy win, considering Time Flies came out and Dawn didn't get any Ongoings out until her last turn -- and it was Eclipse, so all it did was damage her.

Omnitron-U, Captain Cosmic and Absolute Zero tangled with the Ennead in the Realm of Discord. Fairly straightforward win, AZ got set up so was bouncing fire back at them, hit OU with all the equipment and ongoing destruction to whack the Ennead, and finished off with Volatile Wiring + Singularity and Self Sabotage thanks to a Time Flies.

Vengeance 5 on Advanced versus Termi-Nation Unity, The Scholar, Setting Sun Ra, and two custom decks on the Mobile Defense Platform. Oh man, that game went from the heroes getting trounced to the heroes steamrolling the bad guys after two rounds.

No sense in waiting to post! Redeemer Fanatic, the Scholar, Visionary, Omnitron-X and Super Scientific Tachyon faced Ambuscade in [REDACTED]. It was one of those classic games where the question wasn't "Will the heroes win?" but "Who gets to beat the villain, and how much ludicrous damage will they do?" (Answer: It was Tachyon playing a 13-point Lightspeed Barrage off Don't Dismiss Anything.)

America's Newest Legacy, Chrono-Ranger, Ra and Tempest fought [REDACTED] in the Ruins of Atlantis, because that totally makes sense. Everybody just diiiiied.

Replayed the Weekly One Shot.  A High Risk Caused and Effect took down Kismet almost all the way, and then the True Form ate a construct and the good Capitan dealt the final blow.

990

Tried the "Final Battle" with Advanced Baron Blade vs. the Freedom Five in Atlantis.  First turn Consider the Price of Victory, followed by a first round Leaking Room, and we quickly imitated Majora's Mask.

991

Tried it again, this time with much better luck.  Took him down fast, then took him down faster once he flipped.  Ended with AZ's Cold Snap for 3, Thermal Shockwave for 3, then burn self for 9, and then 11 damage to put Baron Blade on ice.

992

Guise, Haka and Ra took on Baron Blade on the Mobile Defense Platform. It was a quick, fun game, and the heroes won.
 
Next, the Scholar, Mr. Fixer, F6 Tempest and F6 Unity went for a rematch against Omnitron on the Celestial Tribunal. America's Greatest Legacy was called to represent earth. And thanks to Grandpa Legs, Unity was able to get all the robots, who slowly chewed through Omnitron. Mr. Fixer finished things off in style with Bloody Knuckles.
 
Last fight of the night, Mr. Fixer, Expatriette, EWAZ and KNYFE went back in time to save some cowboys from a demon! Explosives Wagon made things hairy - Apostate beat Expat from double digits to 2 HP in one turn. But thanks to a risky play by Fixer, the heroes triumphed in the end.

This was the most exquisite Blade loss I have ever suffered.

His first play is Consider the Price of Victory. We end the first round with 9 cards in his trash. The F5 flail miserably for a round. Blade does more stuff: 12 cards.

We had one more round, and our strategy was literally "Pillars of Hercules is out, let's see if we can get him to shuffle his trash into his deck". The Terralunar Impulsion Beam activated with 1 card left in his deck. So close. D: It was greuling and amazing and terrible.
