Eidon Stumbles Against Corrupted Weave


It was fun to play another of these older decks I had. Frosty Ninja was online and asked if I would like to play a game. Empress Gia would go first. While I had a far from ideal starting hand, I went ahead and played a Tropical Jumbor in the hopes of starting some card draw for this corrupted Weave deck. Sure, the corruption isn't that big. Anyways, Delia would flip for Arderial. This spelled swarm. Three Vellup and an Elder Vellup later, Delia was beginning to setup things for Frosty Ninja by putting a Flying Hinko in the hand. Nagsis (Empress Gia) and Delia would continue to battle it out for several turns. Delia would stick to her Vellups and managed to get in the final blow on Nagsis. Although, I made sure on my previous turn that Nagsis sent his one energy creature over in an attack to prevent him surviving by his defensive effect. Spending all his energy on a single creature to be left in play meant that Delia could beat him with just the two Elder Vellup in play being used. Taisa would flip over next. He would play out a Grass Etiki, Uwamar, two Drowl, and Tropical Jumbor all dreamwarped down where possible. This would be followed with an Aritex and Weave Hut. After using the power of the Aritex, Taisa had plenty of creatures and plenty of energy for the next turn. By the time Taisa defeated Delia, he was building up quite a swarm of Weave creatures. Although, Delia actually sacrificed herself by using her power and using Warrior's Boots to put an Elder Vellup into play and attacked to eliminate all her energy and all her creatures. On Taisa's next turn, he would just play a copy of Drought. This would prevent Eidon from starting with his energize. With a healthy swarm across the table, Eidon needed that energy to swarm himself. It would be later that I learned another issue facing Eidon was that Delia lasted too long and drew too many cards creating a unique problem for Eidon that way as well. Eidon would play nothing and it would be defeated easily. Niffer would have to make the last stand for the Naroom/Arderial deck. She would level Taisa's swarm easily with Cataclysm, using her effect to save all those Naroom cards in her hand. With a follow up attack using a Wasperine, Taisa was defeated. Niffer would toss down a Flutter Yup for good measure. Ashio would play a copy of Agram's Staff first before beginning the rest of his opening turn. With Brushfire in the discard pile, Ashio eliminated the Flutter Yup and then used Sawgrass from the hand to eliminate the Wasperine. A Tropical Jumbor, Grass Etiki, Aritex, and Weave Hut would round out his cards for the turn. Ashio would sacrifice the Grass Etiki to the power of the Aritex and hope to survive the next turn. Having run out of deck, it was helpful to have another copy of Brushfire in the hand. While a Galiant gained a fair bit of energy because of the Tropical Jumbor, Weave Seed and Brushfire would end the game by eliminating the fresh Flutter Yup as well.
