Weekly One Sot 205 Skullcrusher Island

Mint at 5 / 0 / 9 / 18. Sold out for damage with the exception of a turn 2 Shielding Winds, and got Blade to flip after only two rounds. When he flipped, I used Into the Stratosphere to help reduce our incoming damage in multiple respects, Reclaim From the Deep to get back some high damage stuff, and Ground Pound because it was Ground Pound. Blade's flip side never had a chance to get rolling.

Ah yes, the classic "kill Tempest" strategy. Why didn't I think of that?

I'm just mortified I had a fun and easy time against the Chairman last week, but got torn apart by Baron Blade this week.

Ra got Flesh of the Sun God in turn 2. Not much of a fight left after that :)

...never saw that, it certainly would have made the game a cakewalk. 

Did you not play Summon Staff round one? That might explain why we never saw it...

Yep. Don't play Summon Staff until round 2. Flesh of the Sun God is Ra's first draw. Also, don't make the mistake this newbie did and try to use Absolute Zero's power after all heros are immune to fire. :S

Mint with Tempest and Absolute Zero down.

Once I had Flesh of the Sun God out, I thought I'd draw the first side out to get a good setup by outracing the Baron's card destruction. But the environment and the non-fire damage (stupid Backlash Field) from the Baron took Tempest and Absolute Zero out. But then the game was pretty much locked. Tempest's incap power brought Ground Pound back into Haka's hand every turn (he had both copies available) and Absolute Zero's incap power destroyed any environment cards out so Haka's Domain would allow for lots of card drawing power every turn to fuel the Ground Pounds. With the environment and Baron Blade rendered helpless at that point, Ra blasted the Baron who could only stand there and watch the massive fireballs coming his way.

Super easy Mint with everyone at least mid teens. 

Entirely because of Flesh of the Sun God. I don't know what I did to get it differently from everyone else, but I played it round 2 and did almost nothing else with Ra for the rest of the game. I let the volcano do most of the work, and BB didn't last long. He did play 2 separate chains of Hasten Doom before and after he flipped, but that was the worst it got.

Easy mint with Zero down, everyone else above 10.

I used flipped zero to control the environment, then used the "increase damage to and by targets" and activated Ground Pound twice in a row, handily burning down Blade.

Also: I got that reference, Handleabra.
