The latest matchup: Grand Warlord Voss (Advanced) invades the Ruins of Atlantis:
The heroes assembled to stop him:
Setback (dpt)
Unity (grysqrl)
The Sentinels (PlatinumWarlock)
Dark Visionary (oaktree)
Dark Watch Expatriette (Powerhound_2000)
Post your hero claims below.
I'll take Dark Watch Expat
Starting Hand : Tactical Shotgun, Arsenal Access, Reload x2
Unity please.
Starting hand: Swift Bot, Flash Forge, Powered Shock Wave, Robot Reclamation
I'm sensing a draw 2 first turn here.
Setback, please.
Update: Starting hand: Wrong Time and Place, Fumbling Fool, Surprising Fortune, Looking Up
Is there enough demand for two games at once? I could set up another, if so. (I want to be sure PlatinumWarlock gets a chance to play!)
I can bail if PlatinumWarlock doesn't get a seat and we don't have enough for two games.
Hard to say on that dpt. I definitely agree that PlatinumWarlock should get a chance to play in a game after running the last one.
Just start a new one and see if the spots get taken.
Thanked for the consideration. I'll go with The Sentinels.
Opening hand: team communication, positive energy (x2), horrifying dichotomy
I just committed to some other games, so can't start another myself. But I think we're probably good.
Just need a Dark Viz player
oooo... Open Spot. I'll take Dark Visionary!
Starting Hand:
Mental Divergence, Prophetic Vision (x2), Mass Levitation. Lots of environment manipulation cards, which are arguably more useful for Atlantis.

Comment: Begin deck manipulation activities. Nothing combat related yet drawn. Mental Divergence will only be useful as a sacrifice card, or if someone needs an ongoing card recovered, and a slight chance we want a Forced Deployment blasted at the #4 spot in turns. Brain Burn might be useful if we want to drain out the villain discard pile of minions to weaken Forced Deployment potential.
Ruins of Atlantis reveals The Kraken, Hallway Collapse and Pillars of Hercules
Voss reveals Vyktor and Gene Bound Guard
Anyone have any opinions on what to bury?
If we're willing to take the Hallway Collapse damage it will take out the minion pile (no DR affect on that). Downside of that is it is not good for the Sentinels in particular. Otherwise I'd favor having the Kraken out to chew on a minion per turn for the time being. Not so fond of Pillars of Hercules unless everyone thinks the extra play/power/draw is worth the villain plays - which I don't think it is.
For the villain deck I'd favor Vyktor over another Gene-bound guard, especially if we stomp the minions before hand.
The Hallway Collapse would flip Voss, of course. He'd then be playing another card, which you haven't controlled. I think it's probably worth it. If we go with the Kraken, we'd have it kill off the Psi-Weaver, of course. But if you do flip Voss, it's worth considering the Guard; it will be much easier to kill on Voss' flipped side. I could take him out myself using Plucky Break, although I might rather work on build-up.
I'll be taking out the psi weaver if that helps any. I'd prefer to see Vyktor and the Kraken
As much as I'd like to flip Voss this round and start the damage onslaught, that Hallway Collapse would massacre my manz.
I'd recommend the Kraken on top, as well as Vyktor.
Vyktor and Kraken on top of respective decks then. Villains take less damage, but heroes also take a lot less as well.
And given choice of Kraken-chow I nominate the Banshee since I suspect the Sentinels will get more on-goings out.

Given my cards I'll repeat what I did in Round 1 in Round 2. Alternative to mucking with the environment deck again is Brain Burn in order to put the three minions on the bottom of the deck in order to lessen the pain of a Forced Deployment. However, if I keep doing Turmoil I hopefully can prevent that in any case.

Comment: Tempted to play Brain Burn for the first time ever and bury three more minions on the bottom of the deck. However, I yielded to wanting to manipulate the environment deck again - if we know a Water Leak is coming we can make sure the Shock Trooper goes down.
At worst I'm shooting down the shock trooper
True. Putting the Brain Burn off another around might allow me to snag a bigger pile of minions too, but it will be at a price. We'll see what the cards say.
You've got a decoy. If it can survive a turn it'll take the damage
Villain deck has TCF Stalwart and Forced Deployment
Environment has Kraken, Kraken and Hallway Collapse
If we could do the Forced Deployment, Visionary could Brain Burn away the stack of Minions, so the Deployment won’t put any minions out at all…
Aside from that, I’d recommend a Kraken on top…
If you put a Kraken on top we will be rid of all but one minion. However, we likely become targets the next round. If you do the Collasped Hall then Setback is taking 24 damage and he only has 6 he can redirect.
Bear in mind that I have Wrong Time and Place out, so I will either take or redirect the first damage to heroes each turn. I can save up to redirect the Brain Burn damage.
EDIT: Assuming the Crushing Hallway doesn't kill me first. I vote for the Kraken, and then we can take out at least one of the Krakens next round.
Kraken and Forced Deployment on top seem like winners now.
Edit: so when the Kraken attack they should leave Vyktor alone. That way we have no damage coming this turn and Voss won't have any minions giving him DR outside of playing on advanced.
Not sure I agree - we might want to avoid having Voss flip, which means leaving one Minion (not Vyktor) alive.
That's right. Hmm guess the firesworn should be left then. Best if we can kill him before the brainburn
Concur with general thoughts.
Villain deck - Forced Deployment on top and TGF Stalwart on bottom.
Environment - Kraken on top and Hallway Collapse and Kraken on bottom.
I take the plan for this round is that Setback will redirect Brain Burn damage (if possible) and that Brain Burn will be used to pot the minion pile back under the deck to leave nothing for Forced Deployment to bring into play.
So we'll have the two Krakens take out Vyktor and the Bionaut, leaving the Firesworn.
I think I have enough tokens in my Lucky Pool to afford redirecting its damage; I think I'll send it to a Kraken, and maybe punch the Kraken myself as well, depending on Unity's schemes for that Flak Jacket.
Well, the Flak Jacket would look mighty nice on Swift Bot. I can either get Swift out this turn or I can play Flash Forge and delay a little bit, but have a better selection. That would be entirely up to the owner of the gear.
The flak jacket is open for use on a golem.

The damage to Unity is actually redirected. Setback discards 2 tokens from his Unlucky Pool to push it to a Kraken (the more recent one).
We might want to leave the Firesworn alive to provide a target for the Kraken. Can we kill one of them, in fact? I can do at least 2 damage, Brain Burn (redirected) will provide 5, and then Ex-Patriette can do another 4. I'm going to be building up my Unlucky Pool as much as I can.
The Sentinels discard Coordinated Assault to Fumbling Fool.
(Also, Idealist is at 10. She got healed by Medico and didn't take damage this environment/villain turn.)

The Sentinels have DR 1 until the start of their next turn (DR 2 for Mainstay). (Block)
Voss discards a Frosthound and Atlantis discards a Toxic Seaweed.
Stalwart is the bottom card of Voss's deck
Writhe absolutely discards The Stalwart.
I'd actually like to be hitting Kraken #2, so we can possibly use the redirected damage from Kraken #1 to destroy it.
The Firesworn is the one doing the damage not Setback so shouldn't the Kraken take two damage from the redirected damage?
edit: discarded Speed Loading to Fumbling Fool.
He did, the Kraken is at 13
Ok I read that wrong. I really need to wake up a bit more before I start reading through this
Why did the sentinels hit a different Kraken? Sorry, I'm confused. I meant all of my damage to be directed at Kraken #2, the second one that entered play, so that we could use the damage from Kraken #1 to potentially kill Kraken #2, and I was suggesting the everyone else also focus on that one.
Gah! All right, then, I'll change it back!
I question using Extract on Voss' deck and from there. We knew that Stalwart was on the bottom. And Visionary doing Brain Burn is just going to put it back there again - unless we want the extra point of damage redirected by Setback. I figure The Sentinels could use the power for establishing a block, or possibly fishing on another deck if necessary.
(Edit: That first sentence comes across too harshly. I would like to get a greater understanding of what the intent is here given my expectation to play Brain Burn shortly with the intention of burying all of Voss' discards back on the bottom of the deck.)
Dark Visionary discards Mass Levitation for Setback's one-shot.
You're right--that was a bad play on my part. It had slipped my mind entirely that Visionary had put the Stalwart on the bottom previously, so my line of thinking was "oh, let's see if we can find a bad card to get rid of."
Given that Visionary has not gone yet, are we still allowed for The Sentinels to revise their turn?
I have no problem with that
Thankee-sais! *revises*

Comments:
If I control order I want to put a couple of the "less harmful" minions on absolute bottom. If they stay as bottom then the Sentinels have an option to have Writhe Extract them to put on top. Though we'd want to wait until the Forced Deployments are gone.
Turmoil is going to fish for the other ship this turn, maybe next. I'm favoring putting Mass Levitation into play next turn and activating it in order to mitigate environment damage since the minion supply for the Kraken are running out; plus Mystical Defenses, Toxic Seaweed, etc. are the majority of the environment deck at this point.
There's also a point where Turmoil gets us to the bad stuff quicker, that's another reason to stop doing it. Especially once we flip Voss and he starts burning through his deck quicker.
Oaktree you'll be at twenty health as Wrong Time And Place doesn't give an option. Only condition on it is that Setback can redirect the damage if he has enough unlucky tokens in his pool. Lastly, Voss decreases damage dealt by heroes by 1 so you only have 6 damage coming.
Setback will indeed discard 6 tokens from his unlucky pool to redirect the damage to the Kraken (4).
Setback will indeed discard 6 tokens from his unlucky pool to redirect the damage to the Kraken (4).
I'm hitting the other Kraken as my three damage won't take out the hurt one and Setback will get 5 damage coming to him from one of them regardless.
Top two cards of Voss deck are Gene Bound Frosthound and Quark Drive Translocator
Yuck. If the Quark Drive Translocator comes out we likely have three cards played by Voss coming up but if the Frosthound is played Setback has a lot of damage coming his way from just the Frosthound and no tokens to redirect it. No matter what Setback is going to take a beating on Voss's turn.
Edit: Setback depending upon order of damage may not take everything from the Frosthound but he'll likely take a majority
Ruins of Atlantis
In Play: The Kraken #1 (4), The Kraken #2 12)
Trash: Toxic Seaweed
Start of Turn:
Play: Phosphorescent Chamber
End of Turn: Kraken #1 deals 6 melee damage to Firesworn
Kraken #2 attempts to deal 6 melee damage to The Idealist, redirects to Setback (18)
Each player must discard one card
Additional Effects:
Increase all damage dealt by 1
Increase all HP recovery by 1
At the start of the environment turn, 1 player may discard a card to destroy Phosphorecent Chamber
Setback has enough tokens to redirect the damage back to the first Kraken even with damage buffed up by one. His unlucky pool will be a zero though after that
I'll discard a Reload then.
I want to eat this damage. Whichever way we go (Frosthound or Translocator) I'll be able to use the Firesworn's damage to kill a Minion.
Unity discards a Powered Shock Wave
Between the Brainburn and the Kraken Setback's unlucky pool is empty. Unless I'm missing something
I choose not to discard tokens for the Kraken. The situation changed.
I do not discard tokens for the Kraken. The situation changed.
I do need a decision on which card before I play the villain turn
The Sentinels discard a copy of Dark Delusions.
I’d go for the Frosthound.
I agree with Frosthound on top since Setback still has tokens
Frost Hound on top and Quark Translocator on bottom.
Dark Visionary discards Mental Divergence.
Setback discards Surprising Fortune.
Based on the turn order, Voss will be attempting to damage Unity for 4 that will redirect to Setback then the Idealist for 3, then the Firesworn and then the Frosthound. Setback still has 6 tokens, are you planning on spending tokens and redirecting the damage?
Didn't Kraken #1 munch the Firesworn?
Yes, but Forced Deployment brings it back.
The damage amounts you quoted need to be increased by 1 for Phosphorescent Chamber. I'll eat the first instance of damage, and redirect the second to the Frosthound at a cost of 4 tokens. The Firesworn will then be hitting someone else (whoever's highest, certainly not me).
(I'm planning on playing Plucky Break on my turn, so want exactly 2 tokens. I'll be shuffling Wrong Time and Place back in …)
Do we want continued Turmoil on the Voss deck to look for the other ship, or shift over to Levitation coverage to reduce environment attacks? I expect that Mystical Defenses or more Toxic Seaweed is due shortly.
I would say Levitation is probably going to prevent the most damage at this point

So, Setback will be incapacitated after hits from 3 of the 5 other heroes. I assume that he will take that instead of taking his hit. I need to know which two other heroes will take hte 4 damage from Conqueror
I can take 4 and ideally Mainstay should as well since he has a DR of two. I was hoping Setback might survive but it was not so.
Setback should let the Sentinels or me use a power. I've got 5 damage from the shotgun or you've got 3 damage from the Sentinels along with another power use after dealing damage.
Don’t know mind me, I’m just the punching bag!
Looks like you have Unity set up to take the ship damage already. Regardless, I'll take my shot.
Dark Visionary will take one.
Mainstay should take part of it since with his DR he'll take two damage.
So Mainstay for 1, either Viz or Expat for hte other (both have volunteered). I'll edit the damage totals once y'all decide, then it's Setback turn to decide what someone will do
If Viz takes it this turn I'm the target for Voss's bigger hit next round. That will give time for Viz to put Mass Levitation and then a decoy into play.
Actually, if I can lay claim to Setback's incapacitated ability, I could throw down Positive Energy, which will heal everyone, deal damage to everything, and net me a power use...then I can do it again on my turn. With the increased healing and damage from Phosphorescent Chamber, it's more beneficial for everyone.
Mainstay could take one of the instances of damage, but Writhe is a better choice, as it'll redirect some damage to a target of our choice.
I'm fine with that. I forgot you have half your deck in your hand.
Oh wait: can I use my remaining two tokens to redirect the damage after it’s been reduced by DR?
Yes, you could do that, You'd still die, but it would take another instance of damage
OK! Well, then, I'll discard two tokens to redirect the 2 damage heading to Mainstay (which becomes 4 damage when it hits TCF Conqueror), then eat the damage to Writhe, Dr. Medico, and Visionary. On my turn, The Sentinels can play a card.
If we're ready for it, here's The Sentinels' card play: Positive Energy.
I think you guys forgot about Swift Bot when calculating damage, though it won't really matter since everything was going to Setback when lowest HP was getting hit. I assume it took 4 from the TCF Conqueror and then healed 2 by Positive Energy.

The Sentinels have DR 1 until the start of their next turn (DR 2 for Mainstay). (Block)
Should I hit Voss for five, take out a Kraken, or hitting all Krakens and Voss for three?
Those Krakens are going to annihilate The Sentinels if we don't get them under control. Taking out at least one is a priority.
If Telekinetic Jab goes to the lower kraken instead of the higher, you could hit everything -and- take out a kraken.
Viz is planning on playing mass levitation to minimize environment damage. Not to mention the Bots are the initial target currently

Comments: Got a few offensive one shots and a decoy to play. Will keep Mass Levitation going I think since I don't think speeding Voss' deck turnover with Turmoil is that profitable in comparison since we got the 2nd ship out of the way.
Oh, go Sentinels! :)
PlatinumWarlock can you update your turn to hit the other Kraken? That way I can kill one off and still damage everything else.
Editing now...good eye!
Ruins of Atlantis
In Play: The Kraken (9), Phosphorescent Chamber
Trash: Toxic Seaweed, The Kraken
Start of Turn: I assume everyone is discarding to destroy Phosphorescent Chamber; if not, let me know
Play: Atlantean Font of Power
End of Turn: Kraken deals 5-3-1=1 melee damage to Platform Bot (2), let me know if this is redirecting to Stealth Bot
Play the top Card of the Villain Deck - Gene Bound Ion Lancer (3)
In Turn order, play the top card of each hero deck
Unity discards Bee Bot for Atlantis
The order for the Font of Power card plays is Unity, Sentinels, Visionary, Ex-Patriette, right?
Yes that is the right order but we have to get discards settled from The Sentinels and Viz first
The Sentinels discard Dark Delusions, though, truth be told, I'd almost rather see the Phosphoescent Chamber stay in play. It makes Medico's healing so much more potent and the extra damage really helps us more than it does Voss.
If we didn't have to worry about Voss minions that hit everyone I would be more inclined to agree. Not to mention some these environment cards as even with Mass Levitation some of them can still hurt us a bit
edit: we would also be forced to discard every environment turn which as expat is no good.
Fair enough; I'm not too worried, either way.
Dark Visionary discards Mind Spike.
(Sorry about the delay. Work n'at.)
Time for card plays then starting with Unity. Remember that Voss has an Ion Lancer in play if any of the cards that come up deal damage.
Unity plays Inspired Repair.
Draw Modular Workbench.
Play Supply Crate (I know that I could play a bot, but I'd rather have the start-of-turn card draw from Supply Crate).
Draw Scrap Metal.
Heal Platform Bot back up to 3 (I think the rest are full).
Grysqrl I think you got a bit ahead. Currently you should be playing the top card of your deck because of the Atlantean Font of Power
Inspired Repair was my top card. It lets me draw a card and play a card. Supply Crate lets me draw another card.
I'm sorry that sounded like a full turn. Should've looked up the card first.
Need a top of deck play from The Sentinels and then Dark Viz.
The Sentinels play...Coordinated Assault!
Mainstay deals Voss net 5 damage (5 - 1 + 1) [76]. Because Mainstay dealt damage, The Sentinels get to use a power!
The Idealist uses Telekinetic Jab to deal net 2 damage to the Ion-Lancer [1].
Need a top of deck play from Dark Viz and then I can play the top card of my deck to finish out the environment turn.
Dark Visionary plays Psychic Maelstrom - 2 psychic damage to Ion Lancer [x], Voss [74], and the Kraken [7].
Reveal Tactical Shotgun which gets discarded, next is RPG Launcher which I'll use to destroy the Kraken and deal 2 Fire damage to Voss [72]
That should be it for the environment turn.

It's probably best for Setback to give a The Sentinels a card play again as they have a few different options to take out Tamar.
Stealth Bot will take the initial shot to Platform Bot, so they should both be at 2 HP.
Unless there are objections, The Sentinels will play Fling Into Darkness on Setback's turn, which kills Tamar and gives us a free power usage again. We'll use that power usage to heal Stealth Bot back up to 5.
Sounds good to Stealth Bot.
And sounds good to Setback.
Looks like Unity can go then with a Tamar down and a healed stealth bot

I'll probably use a Hasty Augmentation next round. Let me know if you have a good use for it.
I have an assault rifle that would deal 4 damage to 3 targets with Hasty Augmentation and that would kill any minions that come out next round. That way your bots would be free to attack Voss entirely.

Let me know if any of that damage is getting redirected
Redirect the Raptor Bot damage to Stealth Bot, please. Looks like no Hasty Augmentation this time around.
Well no card plays at all. If I could have Setback give me a power play then I can take out the Firesworn with my shotgun so that bots can chew on Voss this turn. Next turn will hurt though as we will have at least two minions who deal everyone damage.
I don't have a better idea.
Sounds good on my end--cock that shotgun, Expat!
I do find it a bit humorous next turn that Dark Visionary's decoy will take all of Voss's hit next turn since Viz is the highest health thus directing it to the decoy and then the decoy will take the second part of the hit.
Unless dpt has a better idea for Setback's incap abilities I'll be killing a Firesworn with 4 proj damage since we can't play cards this round.
Does taking out the Firesworn net damage against Voss? The Firesworn will be coming right back of course. Ex-Patriette can have the power use.
It either breaks even or allows for a bit more damage
OK, go for it!
Dark Expat deals 4 proj damage using tactical shotgun to Firesworn[x] with Setback's incap ability. Unity is up next.

Let me know if any of that damage is getting redirected
Let's redirect the first instance of Champin Bot damage to Stealth Bot, so it should survive with 2 HP.
Done
Wow, I’m impressed everyone survived. Maybe I could let Expat use a power now? The Hasty Augmentation would be serious overkill.
The Sentinels discard Horrifying Dichotomy to the Phosphorescent Chamber.
I have a third Positive Energy in my Hand, which will heal us all and kill off everything but the PsiWeaver. Your call, though!
Dark Visionary discards Foresight.
Unity discards Scrap Metal.
All right, The Sentinels may play a card! You've got a lot of juicy cards in your hand there, and of course you'll also get a power use.
I discard a Flak Jacket
A Hasty Augmentation should allow me to kill off what's left and deal Voss 6 damage with the Assault Rifle.
Also Unity has Volatile Parts in play shouldn't some minions have died from bots going down? Depending on order the bots died it could prevent damage to us since it would be 3 Fire damage to the non hero target with the lowest health because of the environment. The minions are all tied so Unity should have the choice when the bot dies.
Edit: I'm not sure how much of villain turn redo it would cause but at the least the psi weaver could be taken out after Voss demolished the Raptor Bot
Curses, stupid volatile parts. Unity, pick who you want to die. You'd have to lose bots to kill, Stealth and Raptor were killed by Forsthound, Platform by Ion LAncer, Swift by Psi Weaver
Voss blasted the Raptor bot since he was he lowest health during his attack.
Unity, if you could kill the Psi-Weaver with Volatile Parts, that'd be spectacular, because I can wipe the board with the following...
On Setback's turn, The Sentinels play Unique Capabilities!
I search my deck and put Aura of Vision into play. I draw Second Chance. I play Positive Energy!
All Hero targets regain net 2 hp (Unity [12]; Champion Bot [4]; Mainstay [14]; Writhe [13]; Medico [10]; Idealist [9]; Visionary [13]; Expatriette [13]
Idealist then deals net 3 psychic damage to all Villain targets--all minions are killed. Voss is at [34].
Dealing damage with Idealist nets me a Power use:
Idealist uses Telekinetic Jab, dealing net 3 psychic damage to Voss [31].
Also know you are wasting health if you let stealth bot die from its own attack, from an outside observer
Ok, how about this?
Voss kills Raptor Bot - Volatile Parts kills the Frosthound
Firesworn hits Visionary or Expat
Ion-Lancer deals 2 energy damage to Platform Bot [1]
Psi-Weaver hits Platform Bot first, kills it - Volatile Parts kills Psi-Weaver
Firesworn hits Visionary or Expat
Soldier deals 3 to Unity
Ion-Lancer deals 2 to Stealth [2]
This leaves:
Firesworn, Ion-Lancer, Firesworn, Soldier, Ion-Lancer [all 3]
Swift Bot [5], Stealth Bot [2], Champion Bot [8]
And all of the heroes avoid getting hit by the Frosthound and Psi-Weaver.
This is a placeholder for my turn. I need to go pass out, but I'll put something together in the morning. Tentative plan is Hasty Augmentation + Modular Workbench, get Raptor Bot in play, chew on Voss.
That works, I'll edit accoringly when I get the chance, but for ca;culations sake that would leave Viz and Expat at 17 and Unity at 16

"Warlord Voss's Fortress"
I'd like to be under the sea
In the Warlord Voss's Fortress in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his Warlord Voss's Fortress in the shade
I'd ask the heroes to come and see
The Warlord Voss's Fortress with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In the Warlord Voss's Fortress in the shade
We would be warm causing a storm
In his little hideaway beneath the waves
Bashing his head on the sea bed
In the Warlord Voss's Fortress near a cave.
Hey, at least that lasted longer than the last game I ran in which the heroes dispatched Plague Rat in a round and a half
Drew Unload from Aura of Vision. Time for some overkill
Nice game, everyone. Thanks for running it, cmschex!
Well done, all! Thanks for running it, cmschex!
