Episode 27: Plague Rat

As it is now important to know, Sudden Contract back on top of my deck from Tempest's Reclaim from the deep, leaving Displaced Armorary on top of my trash to get back under my deck.

Also Writhe redirects his

So if Parse discards for just doin my job, CR does 30 damage. Since the rat hit himself for 3 that brings him down to 19. I'm good for 4, Parse is good for 7 so that leaves 8 health. Ra can do that on his own without the infection but it's 14 with it

EDIT: I also forgot ultimate target damage so this is over

Plague Rat's actually 10 down from where he currently stands, C-R gets to use Compounded Bow when PR hits The Idealist, take another 10 damage there ol' meany face.

EDIT: Ah! You edited while I was posting about "The Ultimate Target", you should be the one playing the cowboy with the fast draw, not me!

I moved Team Communications to the top of the deck and Unique Capabilities went to the bottom during the environment turn.

2 things. First is ra or I after CR? We talked about it between the two of us but dpt never confirmed one way or the other.

Second Ra should discard something other than wrathful gaze so he can use it on the rat

Eh, I'll go, just to keep things moving along.

CR hasn't gone yet. He will leave the rat at 1 hp, unless he draws another eye on the prize in which case the rat is dead

Rat no more...

And he actually kills the rat if Parse discards for just doin my job

And yes that was fast. Even faster than our Blade demo game on hangouts when we recorded it

There are very few Nemesis bonuses that see as much action as C-R/PR, add in the fact that PR can also boost hero damage and that makes for very short fights one way or another when C-R is hunting his other half.

Sorry for jumping the queue! For whatever reason, I had it in my head that it was my turn...looks like it really didn't matter too much though!

Thanks for running the last 2 games, dpt

(Watching smoke from blazing Rat corpse waft through the forum.)

Thanks for running the game, dpt. Nice face-smashing, everyone.
