Sam vs. Spoon

[Spoon]

Okay, so I'll roll to see who starts. A 1 means I start, a 2 means you start.

[dice=2]

Your start! (And, if you don't mind, I'll use the Insciens Spoonius V2 deck here, as I haven't given it a duel yet)[rand=6272215431907466422992060071439451651554238472499634809721670734]

My first turn draw:

[dice=30]

I'll play Commoner Kitten as my Active Ally and I'll put Hunter on the bench.

Commoner Kitten (Colorless)
HP: 6
(*)(*) Basic Attack – 4 Damage
Nothing special.

Hunter (Water)
HP: 4
(*) Hammer Smash – 2 Damage
(W)(W) Ice Hammer– 3 Damage
(*)(*) Long Rant – The target is now asleep.
"My hammer comes equipped with a n00b–be–gone spray, freeze ray, and popcorn maker. Mmm, popcorn..."

I attach an Earth Energy to Commoner Kitten.

Sam:
Active
(E)Commoner Kitten - 6/6

Bench
Hunter - 4/4

Spoon:
Hasn't gone yet.

Just a quick, irrelevant question. If I play a card that heals an Ally, and the Ally I choose already has full health, does that mean it gets extra health, or does the card not work?

Edit: Forgot to say "end turn". [rand=46930241538211703565698999911546770309594040736569334759288467467]

[Spoon]

Your health can't exceed that on the card, so no, the healing attack would do nothing. (And, as a note, if you 'Preview' your message before you post, it'll show you the result of the die roll, so you can complete your turn before you post)

And my draw for my first turn

[dice=30]

I play Anti-Gravity Skull as my Active Ally, and put Elven Archer on the bench.

Anti–Gravity Skull (Dark)
HP: 6
(D)(*) Absorb – 2 Damage. Heal 1 HP
(D)(D) Curse – The target is now paralyzed.
How on earth does it float in the air like that!?

Elven Archer (Earth)
HP: 4
(E) Hunting Knife – 2 Damage
(E)(E) Sniper – 4 Damage. You may target any Ally in play. If you target a benched Ally, this attack does 2 Damage instead.
Legolas: Proof that androgyny is more elvish than pointy ears.

I attach a Dark Energy to Anti-Gravity Skull.

I play Call To Arms to summon Patjade onto the bench.

Call to Arms
Search your deck for a Common Ally. Place that Ally into your hand
Sometimes, the outcome of battle is a simple matter of mathematics. There is great strength in numbers.

Patjade (Earth)
HP: 5
Special Power: Charisma – When this Ally is in play, –1 to your Allies’ retreat costs
(E) Silver Arrow – 2 Damage
(E)(E) Rejuvenate – Heal 3 HP.

Thanks for the answer, and the tip! I'll definitely do that!

I draw:

[dice=30]

I'll play Killix on the bench and attach an Earth Energy to her.

Then I attempt to attack Patjade with Commoner Kitten...

[dice=6]

...but fail. Miserably.

Sam - 1 KO:
Commoner Kitten - (E)(W) - 4/6 {Paralysed}

[Spoon]

I draw a card

[dice=30]

I attach an Earth Energy to Elven Archer.

I withdraw Patjade (returning her Earth Energy to the deck - reduced retreat costs due to her special power) and make Elven Archer my active.

I attack Commoner Kitten with Sniper.

Commoner Kitten takes 4 damage.
Commoner Kitten is KO'd.

Sam - 1 KO:
Commoner Kitten - (E)(W) - 0/6 {Paralysed}
Hunter - (W) - 4/4
Tamia Wendfeld - (E) - 5/5

[Deleted]

Draw:

[dice=30] *becomes 3*

I make Killix my Active Ally and put Patjade on my bench.

Patjade (Earth)
HP: 5
Special Power: Charisma – When this Ally is in play, –1 to your Allies’ retreat costs
(E) Silver Arrow – 2 Damage
(E)(E) Rejuvenate – Heal 3 HP.
Administrator, janitor, babysitter, and assorted odd jobs.

This is a risky move, but I think it'll work...

Using Patjade's Special Power, I retreat Killix using only the Earth Energy attached, which gets reshuffled into my deck. I then bring Hunter into play, and attach a Water Energy to him.

Using Killix's Special Power, Hunter's attacks get two more damage for four turns. So, with the newly attached Water Energy, Hunter's Ice Hammer does 5 damage and effectively KO's Elven Archer.

Sam - 2 KO's:
Killix - 7/7
Hunter - (W)(W) - 4/4
Tamia Wendfeld - (E) - 5/5
Patjade - 5/5

Spoon - 1 KO:
Elven Archer - (E)(E) - 0/4
Patjade - 1/5
Tabloid Town Zombie - 5/5

(Nice!)

I draw a card

[dice=30]

I send out Patjade as my Active Ally.

I attach a Dark Energy to Tabloid Town Zombie.

(Thanks!)

I just realized I forgot to post Killix's stats up here! Sorry

Killix (Colorless)
HP: 7
Special Power: Rally – Whenever this Ally is benched from active, your current active Ally's attacks get +2 Damage for 4 turns.
(*) Thwack – 2 Damage

Now I'm assuming Rally only works on Hunter, so everyone else's attacks stay normal, while his are powered up for the next 3 turns.

Draw:

[dice=30]

Okay, I've really got to be strategic here. I know that once I KO Patjade, Tabloid Town Zombie will be able to KO Hunter in one turn, unless Spoon doesn't have any Dark Energy...

So using Patjade's ability, I'll retreat Hunter for one Water Energy and put Killix out as my Active again!

I'll now attach a Water Energy to Killix and KO Patjade with Thwack!

Sam: - 3 KO's:
Killix - (W) - 7/7
Hunter - (W) - 4/4
Tamia Wendfeld - (E) - 5/5
Patjade - 5/5

Spoon - 1 KO:
Patjade - 0/5
Tabloid Town Zombie - (D) - 5/5

[Spoon]

(You're more than welcome - you've got a worryingly strong deck. One of the strongest I've seen. And not a problem! I always have the card list open, and I tend to search that rather than the list. It helps to have it, but it's by no means a hindrance. (Besides, I keep having to check what my own cards do most of the time!) And yes, I'm pretty sure that's how Killix's power works.)

I draw a card

[dice=30]

I play Midknight - Shadow Mage on my bench.

I attack a Dark Energy to Tabloid Town Zombie

I play Tornado and switch Killix and Hunter.

Midknight – Shadow Mage (Dark)
HP: 7
Special Power: Darkness Falls – Roll a die before each attack, if the result is 6, that attack gets +1 Damage.
(*)(*) Cutlass Slash – 3 Damage

Tornado
Target one of your opponent's benched Allies. Your opponent must switch their active Ally with the target.
No thanks! I'll play with you some other time.

I attack Hunter with Brain Brunch.

Hunter takes 4 damage.
