At least there's one good thing about this match - I don't actually need the Matriarch's physical deck at all anymore, it was stacked two rounds ago and now I can just keep working through what's left of it until it shuffles (not that it will). Still, this post had to wait until I had Insula Primalis handy.

Even at 40 we are going to burn her. Tachyon alone is going to be good for at least 20 points of damage with Lightspeed Barrage plays before you and AZ go.
For once, Tachyon is silent, her mouth drawn into a thin, determined line.

Comment: Going from Villain turn listing Matriarch HP as 40. If it is actually lower I will edit - and did so with Matriarch starting Wraith turn at 31.
We may not know what happens after it ends, but we can finish it easily. It's basically over now
Wraith, unless you don't think tach ended her turn at 49 or there's some reason AZ and I couldn't do 9 damage a piece she should have started your turn at 31
Sure, I meant the series as a whole.
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
Even at 40 we are going to burn her. Tachyon alone is going to be good for at least 20 points of damage with Lightspeed Barrage plays before you and AZ go.
Game 3 on the other hand...
Triple Lightspeed Barrage FTW.

I know it doesn't matter but if you ignore it, my only contribution was discarding for obsidian fields and saving us 3 or 4 damage
Part of the game. And you also nailed 3 fowl the round we opted not to make a flock sweep of any kind.
I know it's part of the game, just changed my mind on bunker a bit. And I was counting killing the birds in saving us damage
Oaktree, can you go ahead and count that 9 damage in your totals?
Have edited turn accordingly. Please proceed.
