Wasperine Blitzed

I played CapAp this past Saturday. I went first with Tiller who drew cards like normal and played a single Balamant. Evu took the field opposite Tiller and it became a battle of Naroom versus Naroom. Evu played a Furok, Plith, and used Grow. Tiller would crush the Plith, play both a Wasperine and Wasperine Stalker so that Evu survived with just two energy. Evu would play a Robe of Vines and a Leaf Chogo for defense. Tiller would finish off Evu and the Chogo on his next pass. To this end, Tiller also played a Weebo and Lumber Hyren. With Orwin's Ring added to the mix, I realized I had made a mistake in my deck construction. Orwin's Ring and Nightmare Channel are not exactly compatible. Ouch! The deck list here reflects the change I made after the game. I swapped out the Nightmare Channels and put in Flood of Energy instead. However, back to the game we were playing. Realizing my deck construction error, I held the Nightmare Channel in my hand were it wouldn't get in the way. Wence took over from Evu and used his power. Then, Wence played a Vortex of Knowledge. He crushed my Weebo after playing out an Arboll. Grow would top it off, giving Wence a good shield. Tiller would use Warrior's Boots to push the offensive. His Lumber Hyren survived by one energy. Wence would return the favor Tiller had shown Evu earlier. A Wasperine and Wasperine Stalker would finish off Tiller. Playing out a Twee, Wence prepared to face Keelie. Keelie would play an Alpine Xamf followed by two Stagadan. Wence would crush one of her Stagadans and attack to eliminate the other. Keelie would use Tap Roots in frustration to eliminate the Twee and attacked to defeat Wence. This is when Eidon would reveal the surprise in store for my forces. Eidon would play two copies of Flood of Energy. With a massive amount of energy now at his disposal, Eidon would play Robe of Vines and use Warrior's Boots to play a Leaf Chogo and a Furok before the attack step. Yes, two creatures summoned with two copies of the Boots. Grow gave plenty of energy with a roll of five, and Yaki's Gauntlets ensured plenty of attacks to come. So far, not too bad. Keelie was looking to be in a bad spot, but she had energized right along Eidon. However, he played out a Wasperine and Wasperine Stalker. With enough attacks to spare from Yaki's Guantlets, Keelie didn't stand a chance. Forest Jile would be icing on the cake for Eidon and make Woot's position very tenous. Woot would take his chances with two Wasperine Stalkers for their free energy. A Wasperine would assist, but the even tossing down a Giant Carillion to use its stomp wouldn't be enough. Vim and Vigor would shrink one of the Wasperine Stalkers down to where it could be crushed. Once it was crushed, Eidon would have the strength to push through Woot in just one turn. I was quite impressed. That was the first time I have seen Naroom played like that. It certainly steamrolled right over me.
