Sentinels of the Multiverse Game 4

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Very well then.  Wraith takes one point of damage due to playing a card and Supercooled is destroyed so no one else will have to take that damage again.

Top 2 cards of the Villain deck are

Spoiler

Shadowy Ambush: Ongoing--Whenever Plague Rat deals 5 or more Damage to a single Target, play the top card of the Villain deck.
Shadowy Ambush: Ongoing--Whenever Plague Rat deals 5 or more Damage to a single Target, play the top card of the Villain deck.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Shadowy Ambush is probably going to go on top.

That lets you draw

Spoiler

Mega Computer:Equipment--Reduce Damage dealt by Environment cards by 1.

Which would have actually have worked almost as well, had you only drawn it sooner.  Oh well.

The top card from the Environment is

Spoiler

Escaped Lab Rat:3hp, Rat--At the end of the Environment turn, this card deals the 2 non-Environment Targets with the lowest HP 1 Melee Damage each.

Play or discard it.

[Uncle Yuan]

GG, don't let him force your hand like that.  Assert yourself and tell him that you're going to put Shadowy Ambush on top instead!

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Well fine!  Be that way!  Ignore my good advice and put Shadowy Ambush on top!  See where that gets you!








You shoulda put Shadowy Ambush on top instead.

[Uncle Yuan]

OK, I see how it is.

He wants the Rat to win.

That's right, the Cat is pulling for the Rat.

You, sir, are a despicable traitor to your kind.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I'm just trying to lull him into a false sense of security!

[Outcast]

Guys, stop pressuring GG. It's a difficult decision to make as it is. Either card she chooses will give Plague Rat an ongoing upgrade card to play.

GG, we just want you to know...that whatever decision you make. We will stand by you. There are no right and wrong answers here. Just trust what your gut tells you. It's ok either way.

If we lose, we lose. Legacy will be there to take whatever damage Plague Rat might try to deal against you.  Or i can just change whatever card's going to be on top.

Or Legacy can play Take Down later when he's got some good healing and resistance set up, and i'll just return it back to his deck to stop Plague Rat from playing any cards.

Your Sentinel Fu is strong!

And this illuminates another little blind spot of mine - a double one actually.  First is that I think of Mental Divergence primarily as a villain ongoing killer and secondarily as a tool for rebuilding after a tableau wipe.  Reseeding all those powerful little "Self destruct" ongoings hadn't occurred to me.  Also, I am learning that I am more averse to "spending" HP than I ought to be.  I tend to regard cards like Heroic Interception and Takedown as panic button cards and don't play them nearly enough.

I'd love to get Next Evolution into play before busting out self harm cards.  But my next play will be Legacy Ring and then my options will open up.

I had to learn to get over the self-harm hickup a long time ago.  Once you learn to just accept damage and manage it rather than avoid it, it can make a big difference.  I used to Avoid Pushing the Limits, for example, but now, I almost always play it the second I can and keep using it as long as possible.

Thanks. (I may owe it to my limited playing experience with Yu-Gi-Oh.) But for it to truly work in our case, we will need your two Takedown cards out (either in your hand or in your trash pile) to really stop Plague Rat from playing any of his cards. That's because my turn goes first before yours (By the way, don't really know how you determine who goes first and who goes next in this card game).  You'll definitely need your Legacy Ring so you can at least heal up twice as much or you can use one to just counter attack. Next Evolution will make everyone immune to Villain attacks.

Though we will still have to deal with the attacks coming from the Environment cards. If i have Visionary's Mass Levitation ongoing card, and you can provide me an additional power to use, then i think we will very much have less to worry about Environment cards as well.

As for the infection, we might be better off, just destroying them once Plague Rat flips. Not really sure if Wraith can benefit from the 3hp healing power, when she'll just have 2 hp shaved off once it's Plague Rat's turn. And of course, we're not really sure if the Environment will have something to attack her with next round like Chemical Explosion. So i'm tempted to use Prophetic Vision to protect her in her weakened condition.

[Glitch Girl]

Story of my life. 

[Outcast]

However, if Legacy can take the infection damage caused by Plague Rat (Well, he and the infection itself is a Villain card),  then i think Wraith would benefit from the healing power she gains from the infection when Plague Rat flips.

At least Shadowy Ambush gives us some time to heal a bit. It just being an ongoing card, causing no additional damage to any of us. I can choose to destroy it after it plays out next round. But sacrificing an opportunity to destroy one infection card.

Of course I could also just destroy Shadowy Ambush seconds after it pops up with my RPG launcher, seeing as my turn comes right after Rat's.  Just means my infection stays on longer.

[Reepicheep]

That being the case, looks like we can only destroy 3/5 infections, unfortunately. I'd be happy to take one, having the most hp.

Anyway, what are we waiting on right now? Does glitch need to discard that environment card?

Yeah, Glitch has to decide whether to discard the Lab Rat card. I think she's better off without it, she having the lowest HP.

Of course I could also just destroy Shadowy Ambush seconds after it pops up with my RPG launcher, seeing as my turn comes right after Rat's.  Just means my infection stays on longer.

Yeah sorry DJ, you're turn comes just after the Villain's turn, so you'll get first dibs on Shadowy Ambush.

But i'm not quite sure. The infection seems a lot worse than it seems though.

This turn, Wraith lost 2 hp at the start of her turn due to infection even though Plague Rat hasn't flipped yet. I thought infection dealt 1 irreducible toxic damage only. Was 1 point added because she is infected?

But upon flipping to Filthy Vermin, Plague Rat would be dealing each infected Hero 2 toxic damage at the START of the villain turn. Not counting an additional 1 damage for being infected....Then at the END of the Villain turn, Plague Rat deals each Hero AGAIN 1 irreducible melee damage. An additional 1 hp damage again for being infected?!

And ongoing infection card deals 1+1 more damage at the START of each HERO's turn! 

Visionary foresees doom! (next issue's cover! The Death of Wraith! and Visionary's descent to madness! )

Cue the commercials! Holy plague and infections Batman! Stay tuned next time!


Edit: Ok. I think when Legacy plays the Legacy Ring. You can probably use Motivational Charge to heal up Wraith to a safer level of HP. Expat/DJ can use his Launcher to destroy Wraith's infection next turn. I can destroy Expat's or Omnitron's infection. And Omnitron X/ Reep can destroy 2 more infections, Legacy's and one more.

Might be better if i destroy Wraith's infection now with all that damage during the start and after the villain's turn.

[Glitch Girl]

I think I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Discard Lab Rat.

[Reepicheep]

Not that it helps enormously, but this round I can get Wraith (and 2 other heroes) up one hp. Next round I'd be delighted to take a 1hp hit to help wraith recover 3. Because I care. Then I'll destroy her infection. Does that work out net positive for Wraith?

From what I can tell, she will lose 3 points before her next turn. I'll heal her for 1 now and can help her up 3 later (can only do if she is infected). If Legacy uses motivational charge, thats another 1. Any corrections on my maths?

It sounds like we all take damage (5 damage?) if you destroy the infection card now.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

This turn, Wraith lost 2 hp at the start of her turn due to infection even though Plague Rat hasn't flipped yet. I thought infection dealt 1 irreducible toxic damage only. Was 1 point added because she is infected?

I explained this the first time it happened, but there are still two Vats in play.  1 increases all damage by 1 and 1 reduces all damage by 1.  Normally, they balance each other out, resulting in no damage change at all, but Infections deal irreducible damage.  This means Infections get to benefit from the damage increase, but ignore the damage reduction completely, so all irreducible damage ends up at a net +1 right now.  Note that Omni could pull this same trick off with one of his components if he really wanted to.

Slight delay in the turn update.  My apartment is kinda in pieces as a result of moving everything to make room for a new fridge being moved in.  The table the game cards were on got moved, so I had to put the cards away. (carefully, so as not to disturb the game in progress, but I still can't get to them right now.)  Fridge is in, I now have access to that newfangled refrigeration thing again that all the kids are talking about, and I'll be putting the game right back quite shortly.

Someone asked what determines Hero turn order?  Nothing does.  Once the order is set, it much stay that way, but the order can be determined anyway I want it to.  In past game, I did it in the order people signed up.  Since DJ keeps signing up first (and everyone else in a roughly similar order) I decided to determine it randomly this game--only for DJ to end up first and everyone else in roughly similar order.  Sigh.

[Deaths Jester]

Okay, we need a game plan here. Wraith needs healing, so that should be Reep's turn. Next, that damaging tank should go. If no one else can do it, then those able to give others turns should tap me. I'll take it out and cause damage to Rat. After that, we can work on the infections, starting with GG and leaving mine for last.

Reep's healing won't kick in until his next turn as it happens at the start of his turn - i.e. before he plays the card that allows him to heal.  Also, clearing out the vat won't have a global impact on the damage we take as our Infection damage is irreducible, meaning it won't drop simply because we take out the buff.  It will drop not only Plague Rat's individual damage, but it will also all of our damage as it will leave only the debuff vat in play.  Honestly, unless we can find a way to also take out the debuff vat, I think it would be best to save your RPG and use it on an infection next round.

[Reepicheep]

I can only heal Wraith 3 points if she keeps her infection next round. If I put my healing component into play at the start of this turn using Electro-Deployment unit, she'll get 1hp at the start of each of my turns. By my turn next round, and as long as nothing else damages her, that'll net Wraith at least 1hp (2 if legacy uses motivational charge). Then Visionary can destroy her infection. As far as I can tell, destroying her infection before her turn will only let her break even.

Is it a good idea to take out the increase damage vat? Once our infections are gone it will be mostly to our own advantage. I think we may just need to brave it out for one more round, then go out all guns a blazing. Hopefully the environment doesn't play something debilitating and we know Plague Rat is playing shadow ambush. Any clue how often he deals 5 or more damage?

Glitch already destroyed the 3x damaging vat with her grappling hook. It was awesome. She swung it around her head and out of the window!

[Uncle Yuan]

Oh, yeah, I forgot that you just put an electro deployment unit out.  My bad - the heals will go into effect this round.

[Outcast]

Any clue how often he deals 5 or more damage?

Except for his Ravage attack which distributes 2hp damage to all heroes, i'd say most of Plague Rat's attacks range from 4 to 5 points of damage. Not sure about his (H) toxic damage cards, but i'm guessing its the total number of heroes. So i think he's got a lot of 4 (+1 while heroes are infected) to 5 HP attacks in his deck.

Here's my idea on how we might deal and destroy all the infections next round.

First up, Expat's turn he can destroy Wraith's infection before her turn comes up to avoid her losing 2 more hp. (But if Reep wants her to use the healing infection power, i'm not really sure how she would benefit from it as she would have taken 3 hp damage when it was Plague Rat's turn upon flipping.....) Wraith can then play a card and 2 powers of her choosing. My turn would be next, and i can destroy Omnitron's infection before it can damage him on his turn. (We also have to be careful not to let Omnitron be damaged for 5 or more hp points lest he loses all his components.) Next Omnitron can use his card to destroy Legacy's and Expat's infection. On Legacy's turn, if he wants to gung ho Visionary, i can use that to either destroy Plague Rat's Shadowy Ambush or my own infection. It depends on what Wraith might see on top of Plague Rat's deck, assuming Wraith decides to use her Eyepiece.

[Deaths Jester]

If Wraith goes down then GG can take up Expat from me. If not, then someone else will need to cause I'm going to stop playing for now. Don't ask why. Anyways, someone else can do a better job with her this game than I've done.

Sorry to hear that, DJ.  I can play Expat for you, if we don't get someone else to volunteer.  Anyone readying who isn't playing and would like to take over, just let me know.

Wraith takes 1 point of damage to play a card, destroys the vat doing the damage, then discards a dirty rat.  Or he might be a clean rat.  I didn't actually check.

Ok. I'm going to go ahead with Prophetic Vision. We can't risk Wraith incurring further damage from the Environment. While most of the cards in Pike Industrial deal damage anyway, at least i can pick the lesser evil.

Since i assume Expat and Omnitron-X are gonna use their cards to destroy either an Infection or Shadowy Ambush the next round. That leaves Wraith, Visionary, and Legacy the only ones free to use a card the next round and the ones who would benefit from Enlighten. The Environment will still continue to be a threat after we deal with the infection, so i'll choose to Enlighten Legacy hoping he'll get Heroic Interception to protect everyone from any damage including the Environment.

Then i'll draw a card and hope i have something to deal with the Environment as well.

Yeah, i know we are churning the Environment's deck pretty quick. If only 2 among those cards i drew were the really bad ones, it will go to our favor. But if they are weak, we are increasing the chances one of the the bad cards coming up sooner than we'd like.
