Ashes: Rise/Return of the Phoenixborn #2

I did not mark my Summon Butterfly Monk as exhausted. It was. Apologies.

Main: exhaust Odette to deal 2 damage to Three-Eyed Owl, taking its attack (0) in return.
Side: spend my last Frog to deal one damage to a Mind Fog Owl, destroying it.

Main: remaining (mind fog owl and bear) attack Odette. Both have 1 damage currently.

I am unsure of the timing for the next bit, so I’ll just do it now (I’m not sure if I can wait for you to respond or if I have to do it immediately , text says ‘you may play this spell after you have declared attackers’)

Anyway… play crescendo spending my last die. 1 dam to my bear and 3 (2) to your celestial knight.

I agree with you on the timing.
OK, both of mine are destroyed if they block, so be it. They’ll do 3 and 3 back to your attackers as they go.

Okey doke, no side and over to you.

Pass/none.

Darn, I could have taken 4 damage to do 6 back to you. Oh well, never mind.

I’m very grateful you didn’t! Although I could have attacked again when the round ended.

Oh if it wasn’t clear, apologies, to cast Crescendo I needed to discard a card, which was Redirect. No cards in hand, no dice left - pass and none here too. Round ends!

Recivery phase - I have no live units. Odette and the spell lose exhaustion. I will exhaust my two masks and reroll everything.

Round 4

I draw three cards. Hand 5, deck 8.

Your start.

Similarly, no units left. Unexhaust everything. Reroll dice, slightly better this round.

Side: discard card from top of deck (Amplify) to turn a note into a unicorn.

Main: Spend unicorn, heart and leaf (for basic) to play ‘Essence Druid’

Retrieve ‘Summon Orchid dove’ from discard to hand (not played, just showing for reference)

Now 5 cards in hand and 6 (!) in deck.

Side: spend angel to play Heal, heal Odette 2 points.
Main: spend mask and divine basic to play Sword of Virtue and destroy that Essence Druid.

Hand 3.

Well, to quote Sun Tzu… you bastard.

Summon a frostback bear. No side.

“If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him.”

Main: spend frog to Summon Butterfly Monk.
No side.
Hand 3.

Main: okay summon orchid monk (spellboard is now full).

No side.


Side: Meditate deck (Frost Bite) to turn mask up to wolf.
Main: spend wolf, angel, and mask as basic to summon Celestial Knight.
Hand 2.

Oh yay, another one :grimacing:

Main: exhaust ‘summon mind fog owl to do so’. Use a heart and a fox - because of the ‘focus’ on the summon spell i can now put a fox on a unit of yours - I will drop it on the celestial knight, dropping her attack to 2 (from 3).

No side.



4 cards in hand, 6 in deck.

That is not fox, that is snek.

No side.
Main: spend angel to Summon Light Bringer. You must attack.
Hand 2 deck 7, no change.

Always looks like a fox to me! But yes I forgot. Will do move shortly,

Side: cast ‘exhortation’ - both attack 4 now.

Main: both attack Odette
