[TricMagic]

Crippled Genius and cards like it rarely die to combat. Compared to greater threats on the board, the generation has often run away as soon as you play it, since most times you can get two procs which is enough to build up.

NQT vs TricMagic Friendly Match

(This doesn't count for the rankings)

[TricMagic]

Coin flip landed tails, so NQT going first? Also,


I'm playing a bit dirty. Take two burn damage.

[notquitethere]

I reveal:



And then play:



I draw a card, then at the end of my turn, I get a star.


NQT
Stars: 1
Hearts: 18
Board: Token Quicksand 1/3; Weary Toiler 1/1

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

Five cards, Quicksand

[Elephant Parade]

Wow, Lava Flow is an absurd card. Pinging on-reveal for 2 is a really strong effect.

[TricMagic]

I gain a star and draw a card at the end of my turn. Your move.

Tric
Stars: 2
Hearts: 20
Board: Crippled Genius 0/2
Hand: Lava Flow, 6 cards

[notquitethere]

Take out Crippled Genius with Weary Toilers and Quicksand.

Play:



Face-down three 0-star cards:



Gain a star.


NQT
Stars: 2
Hearts: 18
Board: Token Quicksand 1/3; Weary Toiler 1/1; face-down, face-down, face-down

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

2 cards, Quicksand

[TricMagic]

A duelist is unamused.

"I'll play this."

Explosions happen off-screen.


"One more card,

2 more stars."

Tric
Stars: 4
Hearts: 20
Board: Crippled Genius 0/2
Hand: Lava Flow, Grand Canyon, 6 cards (Bad at math apparently.)
DP: Crippled Genius, Battleship Maid

[notquitethere]

It's technically discarded for an effect, rather than played, but yes, okay.

First I draw this, rather inconveniently as it messes a bit with the optimal sequence of events here, but okay:



This card is flipped up:

 

So, the loss of hearts means nothing. I shuffle the warriors into the deck.

Then I play this:





NQT
Stars: 0
Hearts: 18
Board: Cult Leader, face-down -4h?, face-down -4h?

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

2 cards, Quicksand

[TricMagic]

Hasn't been the best hand, but might change soon.

"I'm sure this is a fan favorite. So we're having a sequel.

The materials are gathered. The ritual begins again!"

Menacing, Menacing

Menacing, Menacing.

"I draw 7 cards, then discard six.  As some of them are nonsurprise, they get revealed."

"You take 6 damage and I gain a star. I then discard Mirror Maid, both Grand Canyons and 2 Construction Drones, and Call of the Grave."

"Have no worry though, your hand looks a bit... Lacking. Allow me to aid you!"

"Now I take the damage too. Aren't I friendly, you even get more cards to use!"

"Ah, but I do require compensation. Like that Quicksand card, yes?" (Also gain a star/draw 1.)

Tric
Stars: 6
Hearts: 12
Board: Quicksand 1/3, Crippled Genius 0/2
Hand: Lava Flow x4, Quicksand, 8 cards.

(Anything special in there?)

[notquitethere]

Classic Tric!

OK, you get copies of these cards:

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

Can you tell me clearly what cards you've just given me or do have to break into your house and look at your computer?

(Also, shouldn't the Construction Drone and Crippled Genius be listed on your board?)

[TricMagic]

It's another sacrificial effect, so no. Also sent it via pm given one card still hasn't been revealed. It's the win condition for today too.

..Ah, haven't sent it yet. Anyway, your move.

Yes to CG though, forgot that one. Got enough to play the Battleship now!

[notquitethere]

Ah so you sacrificed the drone. It was ambiguous, as you could have used the double-action effect and played the ritual from your hand.

OK I think I see how your strategy works. It seems to be killing you as fast as it's killing me, but we'll see...

I play a Lava Flow:



Cult Leader destroys your Crippled Genius, and I end my turn.


NQT
Stars: 0
Hearts: 12
Board: Cult Leader 3/5, Lava Flow 2/2, face-down -4h?, face-down -4h?

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

5 cards, Quicksand, Lavaflow x3

[TricMagic]

"Time for the mixup!"

Spoiler: What could have been (click to show/hide)

"10 cards go into the deck, and 10 more come out!"


"Quite the hand yeah? Sure I shuffled away my win condition, but always a chance for more. I add Battleship Maid and Divine Lambitual back to my hand. And you take 6 more damage! Not done though, the quicksand engulfs your cultist before I discard Battleship Maid to blow up the field. Fire the nuke!"

"13 cards go in, 13 come out!"

"My Quicksand then grasps your cult leader, setting it up for a fall.. And you take 8 damage!"


Tric
Stars: 5
Hearts: 12
Board: Corrupted.exe 4 Attack, 7 Hearts, 2 Stars
Hand: Lava Flow x4, 9 cards

(When you only shuffle in your cards.. Still. That's a strong card combo huh?)
