Looks like a fun mix.
Advanced Bomber Blade, that might be tough.
I'll take The Naturalist.
Would like to but I'm out of town for a while and only have an Expat deck
I'll take some Nightmist, if that's okay!
Opening Hand: Tome of Elder Magic (3); Mistbound (4); Mistbound (1); Mist Form (3)
(This is going to be a rough match for Blade, with two Mistbounds sitting in my opening flop...)
I never get to play Wraith anymore so I'll take her
I'll grab GI Bunker, if I may.
I'll give AA a shot.
Fair warning: I've never played by forum before, so you may need to guide me here or there if I goof something up.
Just make sure you have the special PBF dice and you'll be fine.
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Hello, my name is Rabk, and I'm a musician.
Is there a preferred game-tracking spreadsheet/card randomizer, or do you usually just play using physical deck(s) like in a live game?
I can't speak for others, but I just use the physical deck
I've done both, either using a physical deck (arranging the facing to keep track of hand vs discard, etc), or keeping a text file that I randomize.
Naturalist's initial hand: Crafty Assault, Cornered Beast, Indomitable Force (x2). I'll probably start by tanking with Rhinocerous/Indomitable Force.
Adept's opening hand: Arcanae Cadence, Inventive Preparation(x2), Vernal Sonata
Almost certainly going to start with a Cadence, especially if Nightmist's playing Mistbound and won't be helped by showing her the top of her deck with Inventive Prep.

If Nightmist doesn't want it, I could do some damage by shifting into Crocodile form before my turn.
I'm okay with some The Naturalist taking the power. I should be fine, discard-wise.
OK, then I'll search my deck for The Deadly Crocodile and put it into play, unless someone else has a better move. I'll be able to do 6 damage on my turn.
Just be careful with those teeth around my instruments; they're kinda rare.

Can we flip him this turn? I can contribute 8 damage.
I can do 4
It's looking like Bunker could toss in another 3 from Flak Cannon, and we could get another 3-4 from Argent Adept if he lets someone use a Power.
Herein lies the rub: If I throw down Amulet of the Elder Gods, we could potentially flip Blade this round, as he could target me first and I could redirect the damage to Blade. However, that means he doesn't get Mistbound this round.
Thoughts?
We could use an Infrared Eyepiece, perhaps. Would he keep dealing the damage after he flips?
On his reverse he deals X at start of turn, where X= the number of cards in his trash. He shuffles his trash when he flips, so if we roll him now his only damage this round will be from his card play. Do note that he'll wipe six of our ongoings and equipment as soon as he flips, however, so don't put out anything you can't part with this round.
Mr. Drake can give someone a power use, but I don't have much else to offer in terms of damage.

[If you're confused right now, yes, I did heavily edit this heavily after posting it. It's a bad habit of mine. -_- ]
I can do 3 damage with the power use, which might be the best we can do. Not sure destruction fodder is worth it; are we going to lose everything anyway?
It depends on what else gets laid down; we now have six on the table so anything beyond this means one more saved. I was mainly offering it up to help keep Wraith rolling beyond the flip.
[Again, edited after I realized I had swapped the timing of BB's start & end of turn effects.]
I think we're good:
OK, if no one else has a better plan, The Naturalist will use The Deadly Crocodile to bite Baron Blade for 2+1 melee damage (19).

Hero TO DO List:

2. Nightmist discards two cards for activating the Amulet (Elder Ring x2) [completed]
3. Decision on whether zero, one, or both environment targets get bombed before the Baron does. (Both) [completed]
I'd like to keep either a Stun Bolt or Razro Ordinance, if possible. I can take out the Backlash Field on my turn if it doesn't get taken care of earlier
Both of my ongoings can go to the trash.
I move that we kill at least the battalion gunner; I’ve no opinion on the poor little repairman.
It would be nice to keep my Flak Cannon (though if I don't I could use Panzer-Buster to render Living Force Field moot).
As stated earlier, I'd like to keep my amulet.
I'm all for both environment targets dying.
To fuel the discard earlier, Nightmist discards both copies of Elder Ring.
I'll destroy The Deadly Crocodile.
So AA's two ongoings, Crocodile, and three of Wraith's four makes six! :D
They were. The mixed display was due to him flipping mid-turn. The next round's villain information will be much cleaner since it will just be Maniacal Death Ray information.
Blade is currently 1 card in Trash. That's what drives death ray damage to high HP hero at start of villain turn.
Nightmist [22] puts the trashed copy of Mistbound back on top of her deck.
I decline to top-of-deck a card.

Comment: Let the final beatdown commence. Nice work by Nightmist locking Baron Blade down for two turns.
Baron was better off as a bomber since Mistbound didn't nullify what the advanced rules let him do.
I almost feel sorry for the poor Baron. Almost.
We can take him out this turn, right? I can do 9 damage myself.
I can do 17, so yes.

Trash: Drake's Pipes, Inspiring Supertonic, Inventive Preparation, Vernal Sonata, Silver Shadow, Instrumental Conjuration

[Not that we need it at this point, but a double Cadence made AA's tableau too pretty to not play the turn out. This one was a doozy - check my work if you don't mind.]

Additional effects, in order of application:
Looks good to me! It took me a minute to figure out why you were doing things in that order, but it makes sense.
I'd like one of the damage boosts for Naturalist (upping the total damage output to 12). Unfortunately I still only have one card I want to play.
Yeah, I had to fiddle with things so he would have time to both put Onslaught on the table and ring the Bell before Subdominant blew itself up.
Go ahead and take the boost and the play. He's finished on Bunker's turn anyway:
I'll go prep Episode #35. The Randomizer came up with what I think is another interesting mix.
All right, I will go ahead and unleash my Feral Fury on Baron Blade for 8 damage, taking him down to 15 health.
GI Bunker
HP: 25
Hand: External Combustion, Heavy Plating, Adhesive Foam Grenade, Decommissioned Hardware, Recharge Mode

Gatling Gun hits Baron Blade for 3 [12].
Play: External Combustion: 2 damage to Bunker [23], 3 to Battalion Brute [1] and Shield Generator [3] and 4 to Blade [8]
Power: Omnicannon; destroy twelve cards under Omnicannon to deal 13 damage to the Baron [-5]
Kaboom! Way to smite some Baron, Bunker!
That was definitely a short one. Thanks for running it, Oaktree!
Bunker's computer fails to do maths, it must be all that low-ball bidding the government uses!
He only had 6 cards under Omnicannon so the damage is right but a typo on how any cards he destroyed under Omnicannon
While I am well aware of that, the targeting computer is not.
Dammit, I've been meaning to fix that damn computer...
Thanks, Oaktree - that was fun. :)
