BattleCON G 3 - KingdomAces (Hikaru) vs. Zorblag (Kallistar)

[Zorblag]

Yeah, wait till you're ready. I think redoing the beat 4 clash will make sense (as that's when trouble started,) but I'm open to other ideas. I'm also happy to play another match, probably even with Kallistar (though not the default discards, those had all the cards I wanted to play the opening beat!)

For now take it easy and do what you can to make the day better.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

OK, when you're ready, here's a reboot of my clash:

Burst

Drive!

[KingdomAces]

If you want to Grasp, I should Burst. Anything else and I should Drive. Therefore...

With that as my move, I think this is the only way this can work out. Doing that is harder than I thought it would be though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I messed up somewhere.

[KingdomAces]

Assuming that's right...

Focused Palm Strike, Ante Earth

[Zorblag]

That looks great! Thanks for taking care of it!

I also like the position you left yourself in there. Let's see if I can deal with it via a

[KingdomAces]

I think I posted something that's not here anymore. Like, it wasn't important, just commenting about how the site had crashed for what I thought was a brief amount of time which was over at that point, so I guess it doesn't matter.

We're ready for resolution now, right? I may or may not write it up soon, but at the moment I don't think I'd end up doing it right..

[KingdomAces]

Or I could actually realize that you still have an option here.

I go first, throw you and deal one. You then hit me for four, then get to move one or two from the position of oHKoooo.

[Zorblag]

Good to see we're back up, and nice work recovering the important info!

The good news for you is that you anted your Earth Token so I only hit you for one. I'll then retreat 2. Other than that your analysis looks good!

I can write that up in a couple hours or so if you don't want to.

You move first. The only way I don't hit you is if you put yourself back in the corner.

I'll need to edit in your token regain, but otherwise that should be where I think we're at. Let me know if you see any problems!

Ugh, I want both of them. I guess I'll take Wind.

Was that what I had in mind? I'll never know!

OK, good. That was the dash that I couldn't quite work around. Now you can decide where you'd like to be for next round.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

I forgot about Volcanic's -2 priority property. Should have taken earth...

Still thinking.

[Zorblag]

It's on hit and shouldn't apply unless you choose to stay in my range.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

I also forgot that I was advancing. Move next to you.
