For any observers: this is Adventuring Party 1 Brennen Blackcloud vs Jericho Reborn.

Okey doke. No changes otherwise to the deck, I have all the other cards (don’t know if there’s any version changes but I guess we’ll just play what I have?).

Here’s my opening dice - 4 basic.

3 basics here, so your choice of start.

Hmm, I think I’ll let you start.

Main: spend heart to play Summon Gilder.
No side.

Main: play Raptor herder, also play Raptor Hatchling.

No side

Eek.
Main: spend a leaf to Summon a Gilder. The Summon also lets me do one damage to a target unit, so I’ll make that the Raptor Hatchling.
No side.

In case this changes your lack of side: as a response to the hatchling dying, cast ‘summon sleeping widows’

Yeah, fair enough, I’m sure I’ll regret that. Go ahead.

Main: both widows attack your phoenixborn.

Gilder takes one of them and is destroyed (not putting out a status token), Jericho takes 2 from the other.

Presumably the gilder hits back and kills the widow?
No side.

No, it has attack zero.

Main: spend frog, music and time basic to summon Hunt Master.
No side.

Ahh of course, sorry sorry.

Place ‘summon vampire bat swarm’ as my main. No side.

Main: no dice, activate Summon Wishing Wing.
No side.

Side: meditate and discard from deck (final cry) to switch a basic to a unicorn.

Main: unicorn and knife (lovely combination!) to summon a vampire bat swarm.

Main: spend turtle as hourglass to summon a Wishing Wing. I don’t have another turtle, so it doesn’t get a status token.
No side.

Main: play summon salamander monk

No side.

Side: Hunt Master uses a status token to add 1 to Wishing Wing’s attack for this turn.

Main Attack Brennan with

  • Hunt Master 2/3/2
  • Panther Spirit 1/1/0
  • Wishing Wing 1/1/0

Okay.

Block the hunt master with the vampire bat swarm, exhaust to do 2 damage back.
Block the wishing wing with the herder, exhaust to damage back.

Bat, herder and wing die. Brennen takes one damage from the panther.

Spend a dagger to bring vampire bat swarm to table with ‘swarm’ ability (presumably not exhausted?)
