I've been feeling an itch for another PbF game. Wacky gimics like the deckbuilding game can be fun, but I'd like to run an ordinary game. So here's the lineup (from Spiff's randomizer):
Villain: La Capitan
Heroes:
Environment: The Final Wasteland
Who's in?
I’m in. I’ll take legacy. Starting hand tonight when I can grab my cards
I'll take Haka. Played him yesterday in a marathon 3-hero vs Cosmitron game. Every hero deck reshuffled once and villain deck twice.
Los Sentinels, please
Opening Hand: Unique Capabilities, Restorative Burst, Fling Into Darkness, Dark Delusions
Scholar, please :D
Chrono-Ranger left for me, then? Sure!
Full house, pretty quickly! I'll put up the opening setup soon-ish.
Turn 1
La Capitán
HP: 75
In play: La Paradoja Magnifica: 15
[hr]
Start of villain turn: No hero ongoing or equipment to destroy. Villain trash and deck is shuffled.
Play a card: Temporal Thief. Take top card of each hero deck: Inspiring Presence, Savage Mana, Fling into Darkness, The Masadah, and Know When to Hold Fast.
La Capitan deals each hero target 1 psychic damage (Legacy 31, Haka 33, Idealist 10, Medico 12, Mainstay 13, Writhe 13, Chrono-Ranger 27, Scholar 28).
End of villain turn: La Capitan deals 4 projectile damage to Haka (29).
La Paradoja Magnifica: play “Walk the Plank!”. La Capitan deals 3 psychic damage to Legacy (28). Legacy cannot use powers until start of the villain turn.
[hr]
HP: 75
In play: La Paradoja Magnifica: 15
Under La Capitán: Inspiring Presence, Savage Mana, Fling into Darkness, The Masadah, Know When to Hold Fast
Trash: Temporal Thief, “Walk the Plank!”
HP Status:

Sentinels: Idealist 10, Medico 12, Mainstay 13, Writhe 13

Fling Into Darkness revealed from top of deck, put under LC
Starting Hand : Inspiring Presence, Next Evolution, Surge of Strength, Lead from the front
Inspiring Presence went under La Capitan
Humble Knight, you're up first
OK
Play inspiring presence
Power N/A
Draw Backfist strike
Everyone regains 1hp, all hero damage is +1
Chrono-Ranger's initial draw: The Ultimate Target, Kill on Sight, Hunter and Hunted, Eye on the Prize
Temporal Thief steals: The Masadah
Haka - HP: 30
Play: Elbow Smash the boat for 4 [11]
Power: Crush the boat for 3 [8]
Draw: Haka of Restoration
==
Figure that smashing the boat was more valuable than a few points on LC that she will heal up shortly. And if we're lucky we might take the boat down before the flip, and it'll stay in the trash for a while.
Do we have a preference about a strategy regarding LC herself, and which side of her card we prefer to deal with?

In Play:
Trash: [Know When To Hold Fast]
Additional Effects: All hero damage +1 (Legacy: Inspiring Presence)
Is there a reason everyone is listing Legacy's +1 damage under 'Additional Effects'? Exactly which effects should we list there?
On the BGG play-by-forum games, they been listing all effects together in turn summaries. I find that very hard to read, myself.
The Final Wasteland
Start of environment turn:
Play a card: Amphibious Chupacabra
End of environment turn: Amphibious Chupacabra deals The Idealist 4-1 melee damage (8) and then 1-1 toxic damage (still 8).

HP Status: Legacy 29, Haka 30, Sentinels: Idealist 5, Medico 13, Mainstay 14, Writhe 14, Chrono-Ranger 28, Scholar 29
[hr]
EDIT: Took Block into account
Idealist is being Blocked, she should be at 5 due to -1 damage taken
I copy-pasted CR's turn and thought 'that bit applies to me!' and so didn't delete it. No great reason, really.
Legacy

Standing orders: I will take any damage that block will not negate that is done to the Idealist
I think we each list our own effects and the villain may list them at the end too. I get listing the +1 for all of them but it would get long
Yeah, that was my fault for listing it on my turn. Only your own hero effects should be fine. Thanks for the assist Legs!
Thanks! Fixed.

You're forgetting Aura of Vision here.
Thank you. 
Do we want to leave Final Breath for the environment beasts to chew on, or try to take him and them both out?
I'd say let Chupy eat Final Breath and focus on getting La Capitan down to one card so we can pound her next turn
La Capitan should be down an additional card, as I got to hit her for free when she damaged The Idealist. I'm nominating that one to be The Masadah, for ease of play.
Chrono-Ranger
HP: 28
Hand: , Kill on Sight, Hunter and Hunted; NeuroToxin Dart Thrower
In Play: The Ultimate Target (La Capitan)
Trash: The Masadah; Eye on the Prize

Draw: Temporal Grenade
End of Turn:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 28
Hand: Kill on Sight; Hunter and Hunted; Temporal Grenade
In Play: The Ultimate Target (La Capitan); Jim's Hat; NeuroToxin Dart Thrower
Trash: The Masadah; Eye on the Prize; Displaced Armory
Additional Effects: Chrono-Ranger deals +1 damage to La Capitan. The first time each turn that La Capitan deals damage, Chrono-Ranger may use a power (currently NeuroToxin Dart Thrower, for 3 projectile damage and -1 damage dealt)
The Scholar draws two; I'll post a full write-up (and the actual cards drawn) later.
FYI, Final Breath was at 1 HP before CR's turn. I propose you use the armory damage on LC and let the Chupycabra kill Final Breath
She never damaged The Idealist, it was Final Breath who hit her. La Capitan didn't do any damage on her turn.
Gotcha. In that case, consider the Displaced Armory damage against her, which would cause her to lose the same net amount of cards.
So how many cards are left?
She has 3 cards under her
Yes, La Capitan still has Inspiring Presence, Savage Mana, and Know When to Hold Fast under her.
Dpt, it's the environment turn. The Scholar hasn't posted his cards, but that shouldn't affect The Final Wasteland
If I'm counting right, she should only have 2 cards left under her:
She lost one from the Taiaha, one from Displaced Armory, and one from NeuroToxin Dart thrower.
Sorry for the delay, I didn’t have my cards with me. I randomly chose to discard Inspiring Presence from under La Capitan.
The Final Wasteland
In play: Amphibious Chupacabra 6
[hr]
Start of environment turn:
Play a card: [i]Ancient Library
End of environment turn: Amphibious Chupacabra finishes off Final Breath
[hr]
In play: Amphibious Chupacabra 6, Ancient Library
Trash:
Additional effects: (Ancient Library) At the start of a hero’s turn, that hero’s player may draw 2 cards. If they do, play the top card of the environment deck.
I have to say, Maria Helena is being a bit of a push-over this game.
This turn, we shall crush her
Legacy
HP: 29
Hand: Surge of Strength, Next Evolution, Back-Fist Strike, Heroic Interception
In Play:Inspiring Presence, Lead from the Front
Trash:
Underneath LA:

End of Turn:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 25

In Play: Inspiring Presence, Lead from the Front, Heroic Interception
Trash:
Underneath LA:
Additional Effects: All hero damage +2 (Inspiring Presence, Galvanize), All hero targets except Legacy are Immune to Damage
Standing orders: I am not intercepting The Idealist’s damage until Heroic Interception is destroyed
Scholar, if you play proverbs and axioms this turn, you still draw 2 but the rest of us can also draw and everyone but me can use a power for free
Do you mean last turn (Turn 2)? I think it's too late to go back and do that.
Nope, this round. If he still wants to draw 2 this round this allows him to and we get to beat on La Capitan while she is vulnerable
Do we want to consider doing Ancient Library draws this turn? Haka can put out Enduring Intercession and redirect environment damage targetted at heroes to himself - which would combo nicely with Heroic Interception. That gets us more cards and possibly puts out monsters that chomp on La Capitan, and possibly any crew she pulls the next turn.
Also, Enduring Intercession will be a useful soak ongoing for next turn when LC flips.
If we do that I would request the draw from Aura of vision because I will be the only one who doesn’t benefit.
A couple other thoughts I had, Chrono ranger might want to put kill on sight on one of the environment targets, the sentinels might want to extract and a death worm would be awesome
Yeah, I was planning on Extracting and MDing Idealist this turn this turn. Legacy can have Aura of Vision. You are thinking to extract the environment?
Haka
HP: 30
Hand: Vitality Surge, Haka of Restoration (x2), Enduring Intercession
In Play: Taiaha
Trash: Elbow Smash, Savage Mana (under La Capitan)
Additional n/a
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start of Turn: Draw 2 cards; Ground Pound, Rampage; Environment plays Horrid Skunk Ape (Ancient Library)
Play: Enduring Intercession
Power: Taiaha; 3+2 damage to Cupacabra [1]; 3+2 (prevented) to La Capitan (Savage Mana to trash)
Draw: Punish the Weak
End of Turn:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 30
Hand: Vitality Surge, Haka of Restoration (x2), Ground Pound, Rampage, Punish the Weak
In Play: Taiaha, Enduring Intercession
Trash: Savage Mana, Elbow Smash
Additional Effects: Redirect any damage that would be dealt to a hero by an environment target to Haka. (Enduring Intercession)
Comment: Going with Ancient Library draw and playing Enduring Intercession combo since Heroic Interception is in play. A risk to put a bunch of environment cards in play, but they shouldn't hurt us this turn and might help hurt La Capitan. Might need to be dealt with next turn however, and also if they take out crew cards we get hit by retribution until LC's ongoing gets removed.
I also think the draw was worth it since Ground Pound and Rampage were acquired.
Environment play on Haka's turn is Horrid Skunk Ape: At the end of the environment turn, this card deals each target other than itself 1 melee damage.
Nope the villain so we can avoid nasty cards. Also you should get 4 powers this round. 2 on your turn (dark delusions probably won’t deal damage but it will allow everyone including you to wail on her). So you would use one of the other powers other than jab on your turn and one on the scholars. Unless we aren’t playing advanced in which case you only get 3 powers
Because the sentinels said I could take the draw from aura I drew next evolution. If he decides to rescind that I will shuffle it back into my deck
The Sentinels
HP: Mainstay 14, Writhe 14, Dr Medico 13, The Idealist 5

Environment play on The Sentinels' turn is Abominable Snowman (immune to cold, at start of environment turn deal non-environment target with second lowest HP 2 cold damage and 2 melee damage).
Extract reveals Raiding Party.
EDIT: I believe with Dark Delusions, Writhe only hits villain targets, no?
Let's trash the Raiding Party, editing turn to include damage to Snowman
Not sure you saw this earlier, as we were posting at the same time: According to the text spoilers, Dark Delusions only hits villain targets, not environment targets.
Ach, I missed that. In that case, I will save it and use Horrifying Dichotomy instead
I am forgoing the Ancient Library draw. Next round, I can start throwing down Hunter and Hunted, so she can destroy that at the start of her turn, while I reap the sweet sweet damage bonus.

Additional Effects:
Mongolian Death Worm comes out on The Scholar's turn. I'm going to wait to see if anyone uses powers before doing the environment and villain turns.
Draw Horrifying Dichotomy. Telekenitc Jab La Capitan (65). Extract La Capitan's deck again
Chrono-Ranger draws Ranger's Mark and uses NeuroToxin Dart Thrower on La Capitan (61). Her damage is reduced by 1 until the start of my next turn.
Legacy draws Lead from the Front and takes the health [27]. I considered galvanizing but it was 4 damage to me and only 3 to her. Also I can lose lead from the Front to destruction in a turn or 2 because I have another. I just want Fortitude down first
Extract reveals Siege-Breaker. Top of deck or discard?
Oh man, I've been forgetting about the Nemesis bonus between La Capitan and the Sentinels! It's too late to go back and fix earlier turns, but I'll be taking this into account now.
Top deck for our bespectacled friend, since he won't hurt us this round and there are certainly worse cards that could come out. Any thoughts on what we want to lose this turn? I was thinking Enduring Intercession since it will not be destroyed until after Enviro turn. Also, Temporal Grenade on Maria Helena's Revenge this turn might be nice
Also, I'll edit Sentinels HP for Nemesis, they are just down 1 each from the first turn
Oh, I guess that wasn't so bad with the nemeses.
There's no card destruction from La Capitan this turn: she destroys equipment or ongoing at the start of turn from her advanced effect, but flips at the end of the turn. (And you just guaranteed that she won't play a card that causes destruction.)
Got it. Consider it done.
So we’re just waiting on Haka to make his move for P&A then we get the environment
Haka draws Haka of Battle.
Haka goes with Taiaha and hits La Capitan [56] and the Snowman for 5 each.
I think the environment draws worked in our favor since I think the Skunk Ape and Mongolian Deathworm will damage La Capitan during the environment phase. Might need to trim some of them out during the next turn though before they start chewing on Sentinels or Haka.
Also, if there if we are going to want Haka to Rampage at some point we'd want to skip Galvanize that turn and/or have Heroic Interception back in effect in order to minimize the damage to heroes. Something to keep in mind if more crew pile out in a turn or two.
That’s what I was thinking. Just let me know ahead of time and I won’t Galvanize.
Also we don’t have to worry about the worm because it goes away at the start of the environment turn. That leaves the snow man and the skunk ape. The ape should not be too bad and I think we have enough damage to take care of the snow man
Shieldbreaker is coming out, so he'll draw fire in addition to heaping more damage on LC. Skunk Ape is 5 HP, and I hit the Snowman already, so it should be at 3 or less. Have to see what else the environment brings out and what the total target count is at the end of the villain turn.
Might be a useful time for Haka to play Ground Pound and everyone can go full offensive on hitting LC and crew this turn. Let LC destroy Heroic Interception this turn after she flips, and Enduring Intercession next turn.
She doesn’t destroy any thing this turn, because she flips at the end of her turn. Even if she did we would destroy enduring intercession first because we would be hit if we destroy HI in the start of turn. Next round works for killing EI though.
CR said he is using his grenade this turn so we have at least 3 damage from him to 2 secondary targets.
Ground pound sounds great though.
The Sentinels will be doing a lot of damage. A whole lot
The Sentinels will be doing a lot of damage. A whole lot
OK. Group can expect Ground Pound from Haka and plan accordingly.
Players can arguably do library draws as well since more monsters won't hit us this turn. However, that pretty much guarantees need for Rampaging Haka the turn after.

Environment plays another Abominable Snowman on Haka's turn and Amphibious Chupacabra on The Sentinels' turn. Extract reveals A Motley Crew; top of deck or discard?
It doesn't matter either way, trash it
Given the fact that we have another turn without incoming damage, I'm going to hold off on the Temporal Grenade for a turn. I can't imagine I'm going to get another turn after this one...
My draw from Aura of Vision nets me Sudden Contract

La Capitan mopes off into a corner.
An example of La Capitan being less dangerous when she never gets a heavy early crew presence. And then she got simply overwhelmed once she flipped back.
Last night on G+ we beat her down despite her having all her crew out at one point, and we were only half set up at that point
