Was good playing with you Flabort, but I must now end you.

Hearts: 18
Cards: 3
Stars: 4

I draw, then play a Nanite Cloud, this immediately becomes a Cloaking Device Module on the Phalanx.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The hoplite gets the honor of killing Flabort.

Seeing as I cannot feasibly keep you from gaining stars, I'm choosing to put the hurt in now.
 Every worm gets the chaingun treatment, the last shot sinking into you directly along with a missile attack and the main gun all for 10 damage.

Then, my Phalanx and all modules cloak for one star and I gain back two. Show me what you got.

Spoiler: Board (click to show/hide)

Shield at 3 hearts.

OK, probably doomed still, but let's see if I can put up a fight. First I spend a star to upgrade my baby bear to a Brown Bear. Then I draw a card.

Then I play it's Verdant Growth:

So I draw two cards and play another. The first is a Biodiversity.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So I play two more cards.

First I pick a Weasel and then I'm going to do some attacks before playing my last card:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First: Badger will flip over your Phalanx Assault Mech. As the Brown Bear is a replacement, it can still attack this turn. Which I will, attacking Phalanx for 6. Then Badger will attack for 4, bravely sacrificing itself. Then Weasel, who can attack straight away will attack Phalanx, and also die. It was brutal, but this has the nice benefit of also destroying all the attached modules.

And then I play a Decay! This removes 14 cards from my discard (including all those worms) and spams my board full of Worms again!

Huh. By MTG rules, a token is not a card, so any effect that would send it to the discard pile would just remove it from play instead.

I don't 5hink we have an official ruling on that yet.

I don't 5hink we have an official ruling on that yet.

In the rules as written here, a token is explicitly a card:

Token: This is a card that is "Created" by another card which is not an actual card you can draw from your deck directly. Tokens should have their own card made for them, (There is at least one grandfathered exception)

The 'tokens' in this game aren't really tokens at all, as they have more than just health and attack, often they have quite involved effects of their own.

I don't remember seeing that player mechanics spoiler. Serves me right for not checking the OP regularly I suppose.

I draw, and play...

Spoiler: Rapid Assembly (click to show/hide)

I fetch a Chaingun Module and Mech Shield Module and attach them to my Hoplite.
  I then have the Hoplite ram into the bear to kill it off, this destroys the shield.
 My turn ends and I get two stars.

As a side note, not sure how I feel about worms begetting worms.

It is a bit cheeky yeah. I could amend it to have them be exiled from play after dying in future games. If it makes you feel better, this is one of only two ways this deck gets stars, and it has no every-turn star generators. Rather than an infinite drip-feed, there's just a big load of them all at once.

I'll draw a card, then play a Fox.

I draw, and play another Nanite Cloud.

Spoiler: Reminder for the audience (click to show/hide)

This one adds 3 hearts to the chaingun and gets me a star.
 I then attack the fox with the Hoplite and then chaingun, lowering the Hoplite to 1 heart and the Chaingun back to 2.
 The chaingun proceeds to once again mass produce worm paste and hits you directly for 2 damage.
 My turn ends and I get two more stars.

[Supernerd]

I think that decay may need to be nerfed. This is a positively inappropriate amount of stars being generated here.

[notquitethere]

I think that decay may need to be nerfed. This is a positively inappropriate amount of stars being generated here.

In a single chunk, probably? Though that's really only because Shadwodump is choosing to kill all the worms in one go. He could have chosen to build up his forces until he could wipe me out in one swoop. It's even possible that for whole game-wide star generation, SHAD0Wdump may have generated more. It's also partially balanced out by the fact that the deck has no real mega game ending cards. The most expensive effect is Fox which is just a 2 star 4/4 with First Strike; and Acorn -> Oak Tree, which requires me to first play a Squirrel. Still, I think having the worms be exiled would prevent me cycling the same worm hoard out twice. (Twice currently being the limit as I only have two decay cards, so I'm not going to repeat that trick again.)



I'll draw a card, then play a Verdant Growth, which allows me to draw two cards and play a card. And so I do that, and play a Squirrel. Squirrel drops his nut, which I then spend 2 stars to immediately turn into an Oak Tree. And... I'm back in the game with a fighting chance. At the end of my turn, the Oak Tree drops an acorn...

Looks like I still have a decent fight on my hands. Also you are currently at 8 hearts, not 10.

Hearts: 18

I draw, Then play another Hoplite.

The chaingun obliterates the acorn and puts its final damage into the tree. The old Hoplite hits the tree as well for a total of 4 damage.

 My turn ends and I get two more stars.

I'll draw a card, then play my last Verdant Growth, which allows me to draw two cards and play a card. And so I do that, and play a Plump Pigeon, spend two stars to upgrade the acorn that dropped at the end of your turn to an Oak Tree.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'll sacrifice the Plump Pigeon to beef up the Squirrel +5h, and have the Squirrel attack your injured Hoplite, destroying it.

Then at the end of my turn, I drop two acorns...

I destroyed that acorn with the chaingun.

[notquitethere]

I destroyed that acorn with the chaingun.

Yep, but read the wording on the oak tree:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It happens at the end of every turn. So another one dropped when your turn ended. If you read back, when I faced both you and Flabort, I had three acorns every round from the one tree. As you nerfed your similar every-turn scavenger bot stars, I'm happy from this turn on to only drop the acorns on my turn from now on. Would that work for you?

[SHAD0Wdump]

Ugh... Go ahead and keep it, but I know now that I'd rather avoid 'end of each turn' effects if possible in the future, it just feels wrong whether I'm doing it or my opponent is.

 Still, if people are allowed to continue using it, I'll just have to be more aware of it.

Hearts: 18
Cards: 3
Stars: 7

I draw, Then play another Nanite Cloud. This becomes a Mech Shield Module attached to the Hoplite.

The Hoplite eats an acorn... For fuel I guess.

 My turn ends and I get two more stars.
