Lots of people eager to try out their new shiny cards? Here's an opportunity! And if it's popular I'll start Ep 39 B as well to get five more people some playing time.
Heroes:
Guise (RanisTheSlayer)
Captain Cosmic (cmschex)
Prime Warden Tempest (phantaskippy)
Sky-Scraper (platinumwarlock)
Scholar (Medic-Tank)
Villain:
Citizen Dawn (advanced)
Environment:

Changed my mind, I'm going PW Tempest.
Have to pass until next week.
Captain Cosmic, please
I'll take the scholar WotC not in yet :(
Chalk me up for Skyscraper!
I'd be up for maybe joining a 39B game (as this is full and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the BF format) for my first PBF if my partner doesn't mind me leaving a deck of cards around our pokey little flat. Regardless, I'll be reading this one with great interest as WCos hasn't arrived for me yet and won't for a while because of the Atlantic Ocean.
Dang, I saw this too late and missed out. Poo.
I think Guise is still available
If Ranis doesn't take a look again and realize Guise is available I'll take Guise. Or join in to a 39B game.
Oh, Guise is available? I thought Oaktree took him. I'm in!
I am up for a B game, I just have the WotC No mini-expansions, but now that spiff but up the promos can play those now too
Will hold 39B slots for:

Effects:
If SS can get to Huge we should be able to clear Hammer Anvil and Tears at least before Dawn's next turn
Well, Tempest took out Anvil, which was really great for us. I was hoping he had a Chain Lightning or Lightning Slash in his hand.
Don't forget that if you do an effect that has extra targets on your turn to include me so I can redirect it to one of the citizens.
Ah right, so we can leave up Hammer since we can kill him with Winter or his own redirect damage, so if we can take out Tears we can actualyl keep our cards
Scholar starting hand: Flesh to Iron, Transmutive Recovery, Proverbs and Axioms, Know When to turn Loose
Discard: Know When to turn Loose
I'll probably play a Proverbs and Axioms, That way I give you guys options and you can take a few hits to get threats out of the way with the extra powers.
If you play Proverbs and Axioms, Guise will do 3 psychic damage to himself, which will redirect to whichever Citizen needs to die the most, and use Tough Choices to draw a card, then hit something else for 1 damage.
We need a game plan.
We are going to be 1 citizen from a flip, we have no way to remove citizens from the trash, and 4 citizens we can't afford to keep out.
Surviving the 6 Citizens required to cause a flip will be rough, but If I can get healing we should be okay for that. The big thing is we can't rely on return from the dawn shortening the process because that will put the nasty citizens back into play.
So basically, we are looking at a long game, so we need to be smart about taking damage and staying alive.
But for now we need to nuke what we can, because if we get lucky and avoid Truth we could do this quick.
I'll take the card draw and the damage to Fabricate. I want to get set up as much as possible because Constructs actually survive That Card
If needed I can redirect and deal damage to Citizen Dawn. I'm planning on dropping three one-shots on my next turn depending on what I drew, but I could hold off for the flip as well. I'm a very visual person and don't remember exactly what all of the Citizens do offhand, so I'll bow to all of your expertise in this matter. Advanced Dawn is crazy difficult.
the big all target damage are Winter and Hammer, Anvil summons Hammer from the trash and Tears eats our hands. The only real nasty damage left is Summer (3 fire to 2 heroes)
You changed your avatar. 
Never fear, little Maenarian! I can defend you from these burny men!

Start of Turn:
Play a Card: Thorathian Monolith. Sky-Scraper becomes HUGE! Until the start of her next turn, redirect all damage dealt to hero targets to Sky-Scraper and reduce all damage dealt to Sky-Scraper by 2.
Use a Power: Concussive Clap: Sky-Scraper deals net 2 sonic to the following targets:
Negligible damage is dealt to heroes (which would be redirected to me and reduced accordingly, anyway).
Draw a Card: Colossal Left Hook

The laylines were right it seems my wisdom is needed here. Good job on Tears team. Like a German proverb says: ''Nothing dries sooner than tears.''
As far as plans go I'll probably play Truth Seeker next turn I need to up my card draw and I'll keep the flesh to iron and alchemical redirection I can get to mitigate damage when dawn will flip.

Trash: Know When to turn Loose, Proverbs and Axioms
Effects: Not sure if I put this here again (Each Player Draws 1 Card, Each Hero Character Card May Either Regain 2 HP or Deal Themselves 3 Psychic Damage and Use a Power)
I believe the cost for using a power would be Sky-Scraper taking 1 Psychic due to her play in her turn. (In case anyone is wondering.)
Captain Cosmic draws Cosmic Crest. takes 3 psychic (redirect 1 psychic to SS (21) and fabricates Vitality Conduit which I will place next to Sky Scraper
Guise deals himself 3 psychic damage, which reflect off of his amazing abs and deal 3 psychic damage to Citizen Winter [X]. He activates Tough Choices, draws Blatant Reference, and accidentally slaps Citizen Dawn for 1 damage [77].
(I'm pretty sure that even though all damage is being redirected to SS, because it's two overlapping redirect effects we can choose which one happens first, thus enabling this to happen. If that's not how it works, let me know.)
As fond as I am of the Mafia Penguin, River City Ransom is true love. Also had to make a life-long friend jealous.
As for Beefcake, they would occur simultaneously and therefore you can redirect it before Sky-Scraper does. Well done.
Tempest will regain 2hp.
Just waiting for Sky-Scraper option on Proverbs and Axioms before we move on to the Environment.
Citizen Dawn at 77 HP. 4 other citizens are lurking in the villain trash. On-going Luminous Leadership is in play.
I'm not worried about Winter right now. Give me the 2 hp, returning me to 23.
I drew a Linking Incursion, as well.
Winter’s dead anyway we did a quick clean up.
Environment - Time Cataclysm
Melting watches flow across the blurry landscape
In Play: None
Start: None
Play: Marsquake!
End:
Marsquake deals Citizen Dawn [75] 2 melee damage. Attacks on Sky-Scraper and 6 other hero targets all are directed to Sky-Scraper and damped out for no damage. (?? Do 2-2 = 0 attacks trigger Vitality Conduit, or is this held as the environment not actually dealing damage due to the DR ?? I think it doesn't count due to previous rulings.)
Effects:
- At the start of the environment turn, destroy 1 villain on-going card, 1 hero on-going card, and 1 environment card. (Marsquake!)
Guise redirects damage directed at him to Citizen Dawn with his amazing abs before Scy-Scraper can intercept the damage. [73]

Comments:
Nice work by Sky-Scraper with support from Captain Cosmic!
Vitality Conduit should only trigger when it takes damage, so it'll get hit once, die, SS will heal 2, then Guise will reflect the fire damage to Hammer before he causes any more damage-related issues. Or I can redirect it first and we can keep the Conduit alive, whatever SS wants to do.
Dawn should be at 75 at the end of her turn. Guise turn incoming soon.
Oops. I will correct turn since i had it heal SS earlier in the turn.
Dawn is at 76 due to Luminous Leadership healing her 1 at the start of the turn.

Just for clarification if damage destroys the conduit the healing effect cannot trigger because the conduit will leave play.
Side note: I'm trying to build myself up for a nova turn when we need to nuke all 6 of the citizens Dawn will have in play. Looking back on my turn it may not have been a good thing to destroy Return With the Dawn, but she's got some of her nastier minions in the discard and I don't want to see them again. And we certainly don't need Hammer bringing Anvil out (or was it the other way 'round? I can never remember). Also, I want to be the lowest or tied for lowest HP target in case we see Citizen Autumn for more than one turn, my ongoings go away at the start of my turn anyway.
Will give a philosopher stone strike of two I can use it on you if you wish. btw the marsquake could have destroyed the return, given our limited ongoing destruction might have been a good idea. On the top of my head I'm not sure if autumn targets character cards or hero targets, if it's hero targets constructs do not possess ongoings to destroy. going to work so can't double check.

You forgot to include the +1 damage dealt by citizens in your compulsion cannisters meaning Dawn is at 60 HP instead of 62
If Guise really feels like he would make better use of the 2 melee damage than Dawn you can put it on him. I would rather Pile Dawn a quick kill would be favorable.

No, keep piling damage on Dawn while we can. The main reason I dropped Gritty Reboot was for Marsquake fodder, but if I get card draws out of it that's great too.
SS is a Citizen? Really?
If you want Gritty Reboot to be fodder I wouldn't mind keep Sustained Influence out, especially with a Potent Disruption in hand
Absolutely, keep it in play. Gritty Reboot dies at the start of my turn anyway, it's not a big loss.
No, compulsion canister, the card Scrapes played, causes the target of the card to deal itself and another target damage. So since its on dawn +1.
Back to lurking.

Are we destroying Leadership instead of Return?
We had already destroyed it, the Main Computer Room brought out the second one after Marsquake ate Leadership
I assume we're killing Tears again. I can one-shot her with a Potent Disruption next turn. I'll discard the Autonomous Blade
I discard a mortal to energy to tears, we need to kill her and the environment too. I wish we had a way to destroy this ongoing too the return keeps us under threat... And the quickest way I see is using the reclaim from the deep to pull back retcon. I would pull back a proverbs and axiom in this case that extra card draw would mitigate tears damage to our hands. If you guys have a better plan I'm all ears.
That sounds good. I'll take out tears

If someone is taking out Tears and I'm getting Retcon back in my hand, I don't have anything really meaningful to contribute this turn. I can copy all of someone's ongoings for a turn and also have the ability to copy an equipment, but there's nothing worth spending those cards on at the moment. Going to continue building up my hand for a nova turn when it's applicable. Selling Out is much less useful than it would be if I weren't first in turn order. I don't know how else to be especially useful, because Guise is so....uhm...Guise.

Environment - Time Cataclysm
In Play: Main Computer Room [6]
Start: Each player may draw a card.
An alarm clock bell rings and a small box appears in front of each hero. Each has a different colored bow on it.
Play: F.I.L.T.E.R. Spy [5]
End:
- Main Computer Room plays the top card of the villain deck:
Channel the Eclipse (no immediate effect)
- FILTER Spy deals 4 Toxic damage to Sky-Scraper [19]
Effects:
- At the end of the environment turn, play the top card of the villain deck (Main Computer Room)
- At the start of the environment turn, each player may draw a card (Main Computer Room)
- At the end of the environment turn, FILTER Spy deals the non-agent target with the second highest HP 4 Toxic damage.
Guise draws that Retcon he put on top of his deck. What's our primary target with this, now?
I think it's that second Return with the Dawn (unless she ends up flipping soon)
I can't say I like channel the eclipse extra plays bring us that closer to devastating auroras and blinding blasts
I would target Channel the Eclipse before Return with the Dawn, but that's just me.
If you want I have a ball lightning that could be used to get rid of both.
It won't much better than that good idea. ( Got WotC today so I can finally rely on the cards themselves instead of the (very useful) spreadsheets!)
Cool, I'll save Retcon for when we need it down the road. Something tells me this game is going to be long and gruelling. Advanced Dawn is never fun.
Everyone other than Guise still has a card draw coming due to the environment. But here goes...
Oh Captain, My Captain - ROUND 4 - Dawn of the Dead (send for more zombie citizens!)

Comments:
A citizen outbreak has occurred. Please seek appropriate shelter.
Citizen Sweat forces a hero ongoing to be destroyed.
Scholar drew get ou of the way, I propose we keep the damage dealing citizens out I'll sponge out the damage on the next turn with twin iron and alchemical redirection. That way we can hammer on Dawn (let's kill the computer room too) and go for the kill without flip or at least short flip. I will need my ongoings to do that though
Guess we'll burn Electrical storm. sigh.
I drew Aquatic correspondence.
I'm going to throw down this turn, start with Aquatic hope to get something good to go with Slash and Ball Lightning, those two with Shackles are worth 13 damage, hopefully I get another good one-shot with Aquatic.

Actually get truth seeker destroyed, yeah I figured as much we could have taken out sweat if Assault had been left alone, I sure am not giving up on Tempest your pretty much the one ripping damage on villains.
Oh crap.
I just re-read the turns, I originally though Guise had taken out MCR. But it is still there. Dawn will get 2 card plays again.
Crap. I could have taken it out on my turn but I wasn't paying attention.
Well if we survive this mess Captain Cosmic can put an Energy Bracer on Sky-Scraper, and her monolith can buy us another round, and then I can reclaim and play stratosphere again, she can grab monolith from her trash and Scholar can put it in her hands with Proverbs and Axioms.
That buys us a second round, at which point we might be able to run Alchemical again, or just survive a round, but either way we are looking at a shot to finish this off.
We just have to survive the coming play, and then get rid of MCR and don't kill a citizen.

I *so* wanted Dawn to play "That Card" just to watch it have no effect. But instead I think Fixed Point is helping the heroes out right now as compared to the villains.
So if we smash down Dawn here we got this, just need to clear Computer Room as well.

Comments:
Nova turn initiated. I can use retcon twice in this round at the end of your turns to kill Fixed Point then MCP. If not, I'm going to keep doing as much damage as possible to Dawn. Let me know what you want me to do.
I can lose one of my ongoings to Citizen Sweat because they die at the start of my turn anyway. Don't waste yours when mine come pre-disposable.
Scholar drew Grace Under Fire, as far as I'm concerned Fixed Point will fix itself, just kinda get to laugh that my alchemical redirection will stay in play, So will the flesh to iron even if I don't discard

Effects:
I put it next to Guise on the likelihood we can deal enough damage to Dawn to get her to 0 this round.
Also, am I correct in interpreting Contruct Cataclysm to have no effect in terms of damage since nothing would be actually destroyed (ie hit the trash). If not, I would certainly play it for more damage
Construct Cataclysm unfortunately contains the phrase "for each construct destroyed this way," so it would do lots of zero damage. We might be able to use that as a finisher next round, though.
I drew Ball Lightning. Yeah!
Guise gets a card play before my turn if he wants it.
I'm going to Reclaim, and if Scholar wants to play DDA Everyone could put their best damage card on top and we can all throw down.

Effects: Everyone gets to put a card on top of their deck.
Autonomous Blade hits Dawn for 2, she's at 8 pending Guise plays after CapCosmic and Tempest turns. I also put Harsh Offense on my deck (not that we'll need it.
I'll be glad to use DDA, and will put a know when to turn loose on my deck cause at that point she might as well get it all.

At the end of Captain Cosmic's turn, Guise plays I Can Do That, Too! on Scholar's Truth Seeker, hits Citizen Dawn for 2+2+1 = 5 damage, draws Gimmicky Character.
At the end of Tempest's turn, Guise plays Where Did I Leave That..., draws two cards, discards them to put Look What I Found! back in my hand.
At the end of Sky-Scraper's turn, Guise plays Look What I Found! and deals Citizen Dawn 5 damage.
I believe that kills her, but she's indestructible, so we have to wait until the environment turn for her to die.
Overkill time! She's down to at least -6 due to Autonomous Blades
Or you can spend the damage knocking off citizens or environment targets so as to get a bigger effect when everything suddenly drops dead early in the Environment turn.
No reason to hold back anymore and you had the grace to soften her up for me. *Loud crackling noise as an arc of lightning hits Dawn* And this is for good measure said The Scholar as he rammed the philosopher stone in Dawn's chest one last time, Well anytime now the pain should kick in...

Cleansing rain into play for Tempest
Colossal Left Hook to top of deck for Sky-Scraper, not that it will matter momentarily.
Harsh Offense off the top, reveals 1 Contruct for 2 more damage to someone
What I want to know is how many cards where left until Truth came out to play
Depends on when scholar got his second DDA. Once #2 showed up we could lock Dawns deck down infinitely, taking no damage and putting a citizen on top every turn.
With Monolith and Slchemical redirection able to redirect all damage it would have been a Cake Walk from there, since even hero self-damage would get redirected.
Will check. Upcoming in the RISE deck:
Citizen Assault, Healing Light, Citizen Summer, Channel the Eclipse, Blinding Blast, Blinding Blast.
Citizen Truth was 4th from the bottom.
So both restating auroras and truth were in the 4 bottoms that is one heck of a lucky shuffle
The first aura was just after the cards I listed. The second aura was 2nd or 3rd from bottom. So, yes, this could be considered a fairly weak RISE draw. Some of the nastier citizens early on, but her most dangerous one-shots and one of the most annoying citizens were less likely to be reached.
I'm really not sold on Guise at all. Every time I play him I feel like I do something every third turn - the rest of it is just drawing cards, playing something that lets you draw cards, and just otherwise sitting on your hands while smacking something for 1 when you can. I don't feel like I'm actively contributing to the group's objective until that third turn, and even then it's a flash in the pan.
I dunno. Maybe I just prefer the characters that seem to have more of a direction. For me Guise will always be the hero that gets pulled as the 5th after everyone else has selected one because A) the villian is already easy enough, B) the bases of what we need for a situation are covered, and C) I'm not taking that particular game too seriously.
Guise is a gimicky hero. If the gimicks don't line up right you don't do much.
He can still have value when he's doing very little, and often when I play him I sacrifice the eventual awesome round for more effective early play. Things like using Barbarian or Extreme when you won't get a lot of card play.
But honestly, the best way to play him seems to be building up a huge pile of cards and then playing them all in one round to make the most of your one-round buffs.
I don't play Guise much at all, because I prefer heroes that help a lot in the early game, over ones that play the finisher role. When I do play Guise it is because the team is solid, has good base powers to copy, as well as Equip I can make use of and ongoings of value.
When one of my friends play Guise I tend to play someone that will give them stuff to copy or steal.
