Challenge-level Baron Blade is in Mordengrad trying to destroy the world ("Again?" chorus the heroes). Can Luminary, Young Legacy, The Scholar of the Infinite and Golem-Spawn Unity stop him in time? (Yes, yes they can).
Baron Blade is always a villain you just punch as fast as possible as often as possible, doubly so when playing at Challenge level (his discard pile does *not* reset and continues the countdown).
I got a mint with the heroes at 27/19/26/9. The heroes recklessly took damage to attack Baron Blade (Unity most of all). I managed to do a few unexpected things to get Luminary to discard cards so he could power up his "Orbital Death-Laser" ("why do you even HAVE that?", asks Young Legacy. "Don't worry about it", answers Luminary, "And aren't you glad I did?"). Once the "Orbital Death-Laser" goes off in round 4 the rest was just mopping up.
PS
This is my first time leading off a weekly one-shot discussion. I feel honored. Is there a "no prize" for this?
You get no prize from me! :D Thanks tho.
This was fun and decently easy, though Challenge Blade (especially in Mordengrad!) is always a heart-pounder. I was a little sad when I lost my laser cannon, but I had drawn the Explosive Reconstructor the turn previous, so it ended up not mattering. I think Blade had a whole 8 cards in his trash by the end.
Sometimes Baron Blade can pose a challenge. This was not one of those times. Pound him down.
