Sotm Event #18: App Team Battle!
Overview
This is a team based event, where you try to score the most points. During each round, you will have to make 3 teams to go after the three villains. Each villain you defeat will score you a point. Whichever team has the most points at the end of three rounds wins.
Teams
Each team will consist of 3 players, and each player must face a different villain in each round. Each player will only play 1 match a round. Please submit your teams here. TEAM SUBMISSIONS ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED.
Villains
I will randomize the villain and environment matches for each round. All villains must be played on advance. Villain variants will be added to the randomization. If a variant is rolled, you must play the variant version.
Hero Teams
In order to face the villains, you will form 3 hero teams from the eleven available in the app for each round. At the start of the new round, you can rearrange your teams. You can select your teams after seeing the villain/environment matches, and you can select which team will fight which villain.
Each hero can only be selected once per round, and all heroes must be used. You can either spread out the heroes in 3-4-4 or 3-3-5. This is your choice, and it can be changed from round to round. You can select the order of the heroes for each game in each round.
Promo Heroes
At the beginning of each round, I will randomize which variant of a hero is available. You can only use the variant that is rolled. You can know which variant is available before selecting your teams.
Timeline
You will have until Sunday 2-22 at 7:00 PM CST to submit your teams.
For each round, you will have 48 hours to create your teams and play your games. Any games not done by then will be considered a loss, and all heroes incapped.
Results
All results should be submitted here. You will need to submit your team, the player on the team, the heroes used, number of incaps, and a link to a screenshot of your results (if you can). Any loss, not just being incapped, is considered a loss, and all heroes are considered incapped. Please do not post your results to the forum, so other teams can’t see your hero selection before playing.
Your team scores 1 point for each victory you had. You do not lose anything for being defeated.
At the beginning of a new round, I will post the results of the last round. At that point, you may post any session reports of the previous round.
Rounds, Winner, and Tiebreaker
The game will last for 5 rounds. The team with the most points is the winner.
In the case of a tie, whichever team had the least amount of incaps will be the winner.
Prize
All members of the winning team will be given access to the Mega Computer. The Mega Computer is a text based SotM game where Handelabra tests out all of the rules. This will allow you to help make sure the game works correctly, and play the decks early. Currently, the Mega Computer is testing decks from the Rook City expansion.

It's hard to tell if people are enjoying it, since there is no chatter that I can see.

With my team, most of our chatter is happening in personal messages.

Not according to what I see.
This is the most strategic I've had to get with the app by far, and been great to have allies to plan and scheme with. I'm having fun, and I've learned some good new strategies.

My team is definitely enjoying it as well. We all live in the same city (attending the same university, even) so most of our talk has been in person. But yeah, this has been a blast as an event.
I've liked the event, even if some of the matches were terrible. In my match against Dawn she started off with Blood, Sweat and Tears and played a Blinding Blast.
By the end of the first turn, eveyone had taken seven damage and had no cards in their hand.

That is... brutal.
I'm extremely surprised that Sieve have won all matches in the last three rounds with no incaps.
Some of those matches were brutal. Seriously.
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
