Quick report on my match vs Juli. (druid vs necro)

It all started out pretty basic. The druid casting her [mwcard=DNJ12]Vine Tree[/mwcard] and the necro using the [mwcard=DNQ10]Meditation Amulet[/mwcard], a [mwcard=MW1J04]Battle Forge[/mwcard] and  [mwcard=DNC19]Venomous Zombie[/mwcard]s. After this the druid sprints to the middle and casts a roused [mwcard=DNC06]Kralathor, The Devourer[/mwcard].

Both mages use their army to kill the opponents one. [mwcard=DNC21]Thornlasher[/mwcard]s and many [mwcard=DNC22]Zombie Brute[/mwcard]s started ripping each other to pieces. The venomous zombies got devoured by [mwcard=DNC20]Vine Snapper[/mwcard]s, etc ...

After a very long battle both mages end up at a different side of the Arena. The Necro only had 2 brutes left (1 eternal servant) and the druid only had [mwcard=DNC18]Togorah, Forest Sentinel[/mwcard]. The normal zombie brute was next to togorah and the druid, but both mages were depleted of all recources. No gunpowder left in them.

After this I stated that I would probably win, since I could still summon (almost useless) [mwcard=MWSTX1CKC09]Giant Wolf Spider[/mwcard]s. Even without the use of the poison, they could still guard, use the web to catch the necro and deal 2 dice of damage. These spiders combined with togorah are stronger then 2 brutes. (even though 1 brute would live forever, since mana was no problem)
Juli agreed on this and we ended the battle, it could have taken a very long time otherwise. (I guess another hour or 2)

Knowing Keejchen is the master of surprise and my druid is not the best necro-killer I'll have to think of some brilliant stuff for my next match.  :o

Dude! Awesome write up! Togorah! Crazy! Looking forward to watching the video

yeah! cool game. The fact that it was a fresh and new fm was cool. The deck did have some errors but when tweaked, this could be a completely new viable strat.  :D

Congratulations to all the players today in the Thunderdome. Every match has been really enjoyable so far. If you haven't check out the matches yet here are the spoiler for who has advanced so far.

Sharkbait vs Henry_Ketchup ---> Sharkbait won! A very close match involving blur, exchanging enchantments and a key deathlock closing it out. Amazing duel!

MasterMystery vs Fapostol ---> MasteryMystery won! A crazy match of the wizard focusing on conjurations to dish out damage and fapostol cleverly using range to keep away and build up strength with Thoughtspores.

Akiro, I have never prayed to you before. No one will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that one stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Akiro... so grant me strength! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

I should have played with the deck a bit before, so much should be changed ;)

the second wizardstower should have been played much later immo was totally useless so early in the aftermath.


the other game was quite crazy

Schwenkgott, I was thinking, maybe you could cut the planning phases out of the videos? I think they would be much more enjoyable to watch.

No editing needed in my opinion.

I´d much rather have the videos uploaded at Schwenkgott´s amazing speed than later or never.

The 2 live matches I've ben watching has been painful/hard to watch due to terrible lag.

The YouTube videos are easier and I can pause, and even watch later :)

Anyway, amazing work with the tournament and videos!
