Ahahaha! Unlucky you, the whole point of the league is to get to play more. Sorry bud.

Thanks for the mention! We'll try to bring as much coverage to it as we can

Sarcasm doesn't relay well over the internets.


But puns do. What kind of world do we live in?

Anyways, have fun all!

This sounds like an epic match. I sadly can't be there to stream it but gl and hf!

[SharkBait]

I may need an extension for this round since I'm going to be out of town through Sunday. Tough to line up schedules on a non weekend day to play.

[Schwenkgott]

Well, here is the result from a match of round 2.
Anvil Throne Warlord (Schwenkgott) vs Druid (Adoryc)

It was a tough fight. I lost my Barracks very early, he lost an enchanted Grizzly in return. With attack spells bound on my Elemental Wand, i was able to kill his reinforcements (Kralathor, Gorgon Archer, some Plants), while i only lost some Goblins Grunts. My well protected Warlord was separated from his minions by thorn pushs but was not hurt too bad. While regenerating, I summoned more and more ranged minions.
In the end adoryc conceded because he neither was able to break my defense, nor would he survive the ongoing ranged attack storm much longer without suffering casualties every round.
I had some very good rolls sometimes and I don't know if the outcome would have been the same with adoryc attacking my creatures instead of my mage

Scratch the previous post, theasaris and I are playing tomorrow at 1830 UTC+1/1130 UTC-6

[Puddnhead]

Arxiducs (Priestess) vs. Puddnhead (Straywood Beastmaster)

After 10 rounds of creature destruction the Beastmaster fell to the 3rd Hurl Boulder in a row.

Major points of interest:
1) Arxiducs churned out creatures via his Temple of Asyra and set a guard matrix around his Priestess all while gaining maximum health via a Sunfire Amulet.
2) Puddnhead summoned and fed cats to Kralathor the Devourer while making a slow and steady march toward the Priestess
3) Kralathor fell victim to a sleep spell (for 9 mana!) and was summarily awakened by an elusive Beastmaster.
4) Kralathor devoured every creature (except one that died to a bear) of Arxiducs' and had 6 growth markers by the end of the game.
5) Were it not for Arxiducs heavy (3 Boulders!) use of attack spells and a round of Marked for Death on the Beastmaster it could have been a very different fight.


Congratulations Arxiducs...I owe you a loss someday in the future

Would have used my Johktari in the first game against Henry_Ketchup
That was a default win, because he could not play.

[theasaris]

Ok, edited in.

@Dude
Which mage would you have played this round?

[theasaris]

Wow, that was a quick game. Thx again Sharkbait!

Theasaris (Beastmaster) bt Sharkbait (Priestess)

Samandriel putting the pressure on the Beastmaster through Divine Intervention didn't save the Priestess from getting punched hard by a Dire Wolf, Emerald Tegu and Timberwolf quickly appearing from the Lair.
