Return to the field

With moving to another state for a new job, I haven't been able to get in any games of Magi-Nation for a while. Since my new job requires access to the internet, I was given a loaner computer. Hooray! One step closer to online participation. I've only entered a few decks into this computer so far. Each deck met the requirements for the October tournament, though about half the decks are restricted and the other half open with just one Elder's Legacy deck.

Arderial - open
Cald - open
Nar - restricted (open version has Crystallize instead of Warrior's Boots)
Naroom - Elder's Legacy (in Novelty's Custom Card Forums)
Orothe - restricted (Brother's of Vengeance)
Paradwyn - open (not entirely entered as of this post)
Weave - restricted

Tonight, CapAp accepted the challenge for a tournament game. I ended up going with Weave. Since it seems that I'll have to stay with one region for the tournament, it looks like I'll be playing Weave for the rest of it. Chances are that I'll use the same deck too.

My preference with Weave is to attack a lot. A lot! So, the defenses of Underneath put a real damper on my game. This isn't the way my deck was built to conduct its battles. Still, it was fun. Lots of fun to take the deck and have Kesia keep Trygar on the ropes. Since Kesia is my second magi, this meant Ahdar had made the sacrifice to set her up. Three Tropical Jumbor and a single Drowl went after opposing creatures in an ongoing battle to break the defenses of Underneath, mostly attacking with the Drowl and letting the Tropical Jumbors grow and grow. Kesia had twelve energy just sitting on her with her smallest creature at eleven energy when she defeated Trygar. His effect placed a Freep down. This set up Trug's Cataclysm. Each down to our last magi, and the end of each our draw piles as well, I tossed out my final magi, Bo'Ahsa. With Warrior's Boots in the hand, I played a conservative Uwamar and Drowl setup. By the time CapAp finished with Fossik's turn, an impact had eliminated Bo'Ahsa's energy and a couple other spells and powers finished off her two creatures. It was a fun game. I was very pleased with it. I gather that CapAp may have enjoyed the game too. I am glad I went with the Weave deck.
