BattleCON G20 - KingdomAces (Lixis) vs. Zorblag (Magdelina)

[Zorblag]

Wow, you really don't want me to go first.

Pass.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

Safety Blessing it is. You get to retreat 1 or 2 (I have a guess!)

I'll discard Grasp and Burst, take 4 damage from the attack and then think about where I want to move and get back to you momentarily.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

I'm going to assume retreat 2 for you. I'll go ahead and advance 2.

[KingdomAces]

Yeah, retreat 2.

Don't have time to keep going now though.

[Zorblag]

That's fine, I have way too much work to do to really keep going now anyhow.

Soak 1.

[KingdomAces]

Pass

[Zorblag]

Pass (and heading out the door now, so nothing else for a little bit from me.)

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

OK, looks like I win priority there, can't advance because of Lance and stand still and hit you for 5. You're stunned, but I'd be out of range anyhow.

Naturalizing Drive

[KingdomAces]

Pass

[Zorblag]

Pass.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

And you've got priority. I'll advance 1 with my start of beat. I think that you have to advance 1 with Drive and that we won't be hitting (though I do regain 1 life at the end of my action.)

END OF BEAT 5

Look right? Again, I'll need to figure out my attack pair later; probably late tonight.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

No, it doesn't seem right. I'm losing and you're only level 2.

Aside from that, yeah it seems fine.

Pass.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

Pass

(And probably not doing next beat now.)

[KingdomAces]

Thanks for anteing the power, I completely forgot that Force Special existed again.

And I take back everything I said about the matchup. Magdelina is ramping far faster than I thought she would.

[KingdomAces]

Oh yeah, I'm leaving the corner.

Spoiler: All the wrong things
