Anti-Core Versus The Teeth

This is the second game I played against BobbyDoc2 in the same day. I have been going through my Twilight War playtest decks in order so far, so my next choice was my anti-Core deck. I even told BobbyDoc2 so. The idea of this deck was to test Keelie in a starting magi as well with her starting combo of Nocturne and Weebo. For anti-Core, this could be a guaranteed Tillant. For anything else, sicne my anti-Core deck is an Alpine Xamf deck, it would fetch this creature instead to start the energy gains early.

BobbyDoc2 went first with Rayje. Rayje played out his construct. For his other starters, it was Elemental Shield and Warrior's Boots. With lore drawing an extra card, Rayje was off to a good start. As planned, Keelie would start off by fetching the Alpine Xamf with Nocturne. She played a Weebo and a Giant Carillion. Giant Carillion would stomp the construct and Weebo restored the Alpine Xamf. Rayje was quick to eliminate the Alpine Xamf by using Warrior's Boots with an Agrilla. Tap Roots would finish off the Agrilla and make it so the Weebo could use its power again. A restored Giant Carillion would take out Rayje. Keelie would now attempt energy gains with Orwin's Ring although she had lost the Alpine Xamf. Kazm was up next, and he would have none of that. He used Shattershards on the ring and eliminated the Weebo. He used his Cleansing on Zungg, then played a Giant Baldar and a Baldar. Topple would take out the Giant Carillion by sacrificing the other giant in play. With Elemental Shield to protect the Baldar, Kazm was looking fairly good. To deny Kazm extra energy, Keelie would play out a Tillant although it offered her no advantages. Kazm would sacrifice his Baldar to the mutual defeat of both creatures. With a Vopok now in play, Keelie would crush it before playing out a Lumber Hyren. She seemed to be hard pressed to keep Kazm from gaining extra energy. Kazm opted to go ahead and play some small creatures to take advantage of the power of a Zungg. With a Sagawal for support, he was looking good. After gnawing at the Lumber Hyren, Topple took out the Lumber Hyren by sacrificing the Vopok. Keelie would smile upon Kazm as she played an Ember Hyren to singe the Zungg. Sagawal would defeat the hyren in an attack, and Kazm would play another Vopok plus a Rock Yajo. Keelie answered with a Leaf Chogo. A weak response, but it was the best choice at the time. The Rock Yajos would attack to eliminate Leaf Chogo. Keelie survived, and so she played out a Robe of Vines and Lumber Hyren to consume all her energy. Kazm would discard a card so his mighty Vopok could attack. In the end, Keelie would be defeated. Yaki would crush the Vopok first to keep Kazm from gaining energy. Once that threat was resolved, Yaki used Nocturne to fetch another Alpine Xamf. During his creature step, he played out his starting Weebo and two Furoks. Kazm had no creatures in play, and apparently couldn't play what he did have in his hand. So, with Yaki's effect allowing two strikes each, Kazm went down in defeat despite all the energy he had stored up. Yaki would add an Ember Hyren to his swarm before Krue appeared. Krue, Helper, would play another cleansing to allow the Chaos Plith in hand to stand up and represent Kybar's Teeth. Krue also tossed out two Zungg, a Rock Yajo, and an Agrilla. Rayje's Belt would lock retrieve from the Furoks. Relic Stalker would fix that back up for Yaki by eliminating the belt. After the hyren singed the opposition and Bythan's Gift returned it to hand, BobbyDoc2 declared "gg." Apparently, BobbyDoc2 had suffered from a severe case of Core cards in hand with no Cleansing to fix it.
