    Wow total auto check misfire. That should have been before she gets Jacob or reinforcements.

    With Jacob out you get a 50% chance of giving 1 wound to all enemy units in 2 spaces so he can clear house quickly. I suppose Archangel could have done the job too but only one unit at a time.

    By the 5th round they had 15 magic so a single wall could have brought out 2 Champions or even Guardian Knights + Priests to hold me off while they search for a wall.

    VG has some fantastic staying power. Every win I've ever had with them has been betting run over and letting the enemy exhaust their resources and then run them over once I build up a nice magic pile.

    mass champs with priest/Sera behind them is generally VG strategy.

    Intercession is such a meh card, it's pretty much an automatic junk for magic card.

    Ya. Though if sera is untouched I use it to move 3/4 wounds from a champ to her a long distance away is sometimes a good deal. Thing is I can heal two outright with sera for 1 magic (the same as the event itself since i cant discard it for magic anymore...)

    I must've been using them wrong :/ I've just been doing Priest swarms and if they failed I'd fall back with meat shields until I can afford a champion.

    LOL, yeah. Grognack can 1v1 most champs and end up winning. There was one time I rushed him with Elut Bal and he ended up killing Elut when he already had 2 wound markers on him. I still won at the end coz all he had left late game were shamans, and I was cranking out the undead with Ret.

    EDIT: Twas vs AI so yeah. LOL

    VG strategy is to keep a low board count, have at least 2 cards in your discard pile (I generally summon an extra priest to use up that magic) and use your champs close to Sera. Grubs and Mal are great Merc champs for VG. You can also sometimes ambush an unsuspecting opponent with Holy Judgment'd Priests.

    I just experienced something weird with an game vs AI.

    My TO smasher was facing a GD fighter, both at full health. My common was killed in one round. Is this normal?

    And no, the goblin was not ganged up. He was alone, not adjacent to any ther GD card.

    Did the AI play a heroic feat card to increase the dwarf's attack to kill the smasher?

    I just got a forfeit in an FK mirror game which had turned into a great game of cat and mouse. For future reference, I will NEVER accept any invite below 3 days.

    relsircspotcat, I have no idea why you would create a game with a timer shorter than a day. Can you tell me why you would do that? Anything less than even 3 days is ridiculous. It was my fault for not confirming the time limit but I would never have guessed that anyone would create a game that short. I never look at the clock while taking my turn. I hope you enjoyed how our game was going, because it was definitely fun. But your timer reduced it all to nothing.

    In other news, the Create Game crash disappeared on its own today.

    Haha, know your enemy!

    Heroic Feat increases a unit's attack by two. Since Smasher has Sluggish and takes damage with no dice rolls you have to be careful of stat boosts like that.

    I'm betting it was a spearman that got up next to you (increasing its attack to 2 die) and boosted with a Heroic Feat to make it hit for 4 die, killing your Smasher in one go

    I was pretty sure it was a fighter. I must have been wrong. Thanks for the explanation, looks like the best is to try out all factions I have an idea what they can do.

    Here's a little problem I ran into today. If you play the Cloak's event card Spy, which order do the cards go to the bottom or top of the draw pile. Say I draw a wall, two commons and two champions. I drag the wall to his discard pile, then the two commons to his draw pile, then the two champions to his draw pile. Do the commons go to the bottom or top?

    Who's Celeric here?

    Had a blast playing my first ever online Summoner Wars game!

    Had a turn 3 Elut Bal out dropping Grognack down to 1 health til he killed Elut Bal. Everything was turning in his favor and I was struggling coz i didnt have anything (2 champs, 1 Magic drain and a dark sacrifice on hand) and Ret Talus was double frozen. All hope was lost for me til he made a mistake of destroying his own ice wall which opened up a path to Grognack who had 1 health and allowed me to summon a skelly archer next round to seal the game.

    He played better than I did im sure. And im certain id never win against him like that again, but I had great fun playing. Luck was on my side this time. :D

    @sapphire_neo:

    Sorry about the timer. I just created a game by default which was 30 mins. My bad. :( I'll make sure to make the timer at 3 days.

    It was a great game though very close match, that's why I was very surprised when you suddenly forfeited.

    Again sorry about the timer.:(

    lets have a rematch again another time.
