Turn

Since I go second, I start with one star.

Hearts: 20
Cards: 5
Stars: 1

I draw my first card, up to 6.
I'll spend my star, and play Happy Biker.
He can attack on his first turn, so he'll target one of the Active Toilers to deal 3 damage, and 1 to himself.

I draw a card, up to 5. I gain 1 star from my remaining toiler. I immediately spend that star playing Join The Cause on the Happy Biker, stealing it for my team. I then attack you directly with the Happy Biker and the Active Toilers for [3+1=4] 4 damage.

Well, I draw my card. I play Quick Thinking, and roll a 4, then a 3.

Spoiler: Quick Thinking (click to show/hide)

That means I draw another card and may play another.
That's less than ideal, as it effectively just wastes the card, replacing it with another.
So, I guess I'll play Baby Swarm

I can't attack with them, so that's a small issue, but it's a lot of bodies in between me and my own biker.

I draw a card, up to 5. Gain 1 star from my Active Toilers. I play a Black Flag to increase the attack of the Toilers. Then with Active Toilers and the Happy Biker, I put two of the babies to bed.

I do my card draw, and play another Quick Thinking (not gonna do the spoiler this time). I roll a 6, then a 4. Which... is the same effect as last time. Oh well. I draw... and play, and Quick Thinking. This time I roll 6, then 5.

So I have a star, and everything in my hand... requires a star now. I guess I'll play a Desert Comber, and add a card to my hand.

I draw a card, up to 5. Gain a star, up to 2. I then spend those 2 on Nestor Makhno. When he comes into play, I can play an equipment card for free. So I'll throw a Little Round Bomb.

The eight damage randomly assigned among your field destroys everything.

Now with the enemy field clear, I'll attack with the converted Happy Biker and the Black Flagged Active Toilers [3+1+3=7] for 7 damage.

I draw a card, and play the only viable option, an Expendable Soldier.

... unless you do something really stupid, I think you win this one.

Hearts: 9

[notquitethere]

I draw a card, up to 4. Gain a star, up to 1. I then play a Join The Cause on the Expendable Soldier.

And so with the board clear, I attack with the Expendable Soldier, Nestor Makhno,  the Happy Biker and the Black Flagged Active Toiler [1+5+3+1+3=13] for 13 damage, winning the game.

Thanks for the match, Flabort. I'm happy to go against anyone again, either newcomers or rematches.

[Kashyyk]

Oof. That Join the Cause is hella powerful.

[notquitethere]

I think it could do with making more expensive, perhaps star cost +1, as it's equivalent to eliminating a foe at the same time as playing an identically powerful card.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Honestly, yes.
Wizards of the coast know this. Mind control effects in MTG commonly run 6 mana for a permanent effect, and 2-3 mana for a temporary until end of turn.

Also Kashyyk, want to try a game?

[Kashyyk]

Sure thing!

To begin my first turn I draw a card, and then play Deployment Initiative, which lets me put two Battle Droid tokens on the board.

Can't attack yet, so I end my turn.

Alright, I'm going to make a ruling on Join the Cause. For now, I am going to say it is limited to one per deck. We'll see if it causes any problems after that.

Fine by me. I was thinking of some of the other one-off cards as implicitly having a 'unique' tag to them anyway. I had four in my deck, so I'll replace one with an Insurrection!, one with a Redistribution, and one with a Barricades, as I haven't played any of those three cards yet.

[notquitethere]

Oh, Supernerd: did you have a deck ready for checking? I'm happy to start and mod a second thread if you wanted to play.
