Guild Ball

[Gareth]

I had been having issues with the Alchemists, because I had been trying to score goals with them. Vitriol and Midas both seem to have stats like goal getters, but loosing the ball in a tackle, then left me out of position. Against you both I have dropped those two and replaced them with Smoke and Venin, and clumped up in the centre. Smoke can really makes use of the AoEs that Calculus and Mercury drop, whilst Venin gives me a reliable way to throw out Bleed, on anything that has been poisoned. That then means I have added a third maintenance dealing condition, and with all three stacked thats 6 points of damage at the start of your turn. Seeing as most players do not have more than 18 health boxes, I can really take quite a few players down in three turns or less. Add in that each condition makes Katalyst much more deadly, and a well timed charge from Smoke and his Intensify, things can get very messy, very quickly.

I think against Steve in particular one of the key activations on my side, was when I took out Princess with the turns final activation. having played against Steve in the past, the has been taken out every game. However her Loved Creature ability has been horrid against me. I might have to start trying the Fish out, and make effect of that ability on Salt.
