Frozen Swamp

I played a game with BobbyDoc2 a couple days ago. While I failed to get a screenshot, I still have my notes. BobbyDoc would go first using the Secret Lovers. Using their power, they revealed a very good card but not one the power would put in the hand. With just a Zyavu played, it didn't look like a powerful start for the dual Magi. Eryss would flip as my first Magi. She would play out a Swamp Hyren, Fog Hyren, Gremble, and Poison Baloo Root. Not a bad start at all for Eryss. When the Secret Lovers tossed down some more creatures, I opted to sacrifice Eryss. Quite possible with this deck. Olabra would be next to battle for Bograth. Now, I would forget her own effect and make some choices later that could've been different for perhaps a better result. Oh, well. Anyways, Olabra flips and plays a Deadwood Staff, Swamp Hyren, Jile, Treepsh, and Ruid. Using the Deadwood Staff, she placed a second Swamp Hyren in play. Adding in a Moss Pendant made for a nice opening swarm. With two Swamp Hyren, she had a power position for building a vast swarm. As I wasn't playing against Underneath or Arderial, I probably should've played a few more creatures out earlier rather than hold them for my next Magi. It still looked overwhelmingly in Olabra's favor when Odavast flipped after the Secret Lovers were defeated. He would play a Yaromant, three Mombak, and Ice Lens. A great opening. Olabra would attack then use the power of her surviving Muck Vinoc to eliminate the Yaromant which had grown in size. With the help of Ice Lens, his protection in attacks, and a constant freeze, Odavast would slowly comeback from his desperate situation. When he defeated Olabra, it would up to Brog to try for the Bograth comeback. He would play out a Tar Hyren, Fog Hyren, Torpar, and an N'kala. Having seen all three Crushing Ice in gameplay, I felt it safe to leave some creatures at four energy. Odavast would defeat Brog by using Warrior's Boots to bring in an Aegris. This would allow him to take out the Tar Hyren cheaply and without harm to his creatures or magi for future play. Although Brog would survive, he didn't have the creatures in hand or energy left anymore to oppose Odavast's growing swarm. I declared it a “gg” and enjoyed the impressive comeback by Nar after suffering some terrible card draw in the early game with the Secret Lovers.
