Lately, to make my solo games more interesting, I've been playing my matches with a backstory, a campaign of sorts. Regular fights, no additional objectives or rules (that may come later) but still, its a series. It was almost, almost, almost ruined tonight by a fight with Warlord Voss (I had decided that a loss would mean that the heroes I used would be incapacitated until the Final Battle-messing up the story).
I had three heroes, Legacy, Tempest, and Haka in that order, while Voss had out a Banshee, and a Lancer. We were in Insula Primalis, with two Obsidian Fields out (+1 to damage). In short order, he and his minions took down Legacy and Tempest, leaving Haka with only 3 health, while Voss himself still had about 38 HP. Haka had out a Dominion, and a Savage Mana with 9 cards underneath. I almost gave up then and there, but decided to go out with a bang. Using Tempest's and Legacy's incap abilities, I let Haka use Crush twice, killing the two minions to add to SM (now at 11 cards). On Haka's turn, I let loose a powerful Haka of Battle, throwing down 12 cards, and then finally hitting the Warlord with Savage Mana, for a total of....36 points.
Ouch. So close.
He still had 2HP, and he was definitely going to wipe the floor with me next round.
I figured, hell, let's play the next environment card. Might as well.
It.
Was.
Glorious.
That T-rex popped out like a gift from God, snatching up Voss in its jaws and gobbling him up.
...and now comes the, ah, painful part. The T-rex eats up the second highest target around, except itself. I played it that I totally did not include the T-rex in the ranking (so it ate Voss instead of Haka), but now I'm not so sure. Is the ranking supposed to be (15>3>2) or (3>2) What is the official ruling for this? Should Haka have been eaten, or did I play it right?
Either way, it was beautiful. And in the AAR I plan to write after I finish the campaign, I know which version I'm going with.
