Shadow Era Meltdown 25: Elementalis (Me) vs. Majiya - Ally Hubris

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: November 19, 2014 Version: 2.88 FRIDAY FAIL This was pure hubris on my part, wanting to rush my win, thinking I could recover with Infinity Core. Majiya's well-timed Tidal Wave with their Ill Gotten Gains allowed her to set up the Portal and to rush ME. A painful but earned loss.

Shadow Era Meltdown 24: Banebow (Me) vs. Eladwen Frostmire - Ally Control

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: November 18, 2014 Version: 2.88 WEDNESDAY WIN I didn't play too many allies here because I'm pretty sure I had a Lone Wolf somewhere (which is what the Dark Ascendant was for, to make sure I wasn't stuck with a disabled ally). But Eladwen seemed to have picked some bad meltdown cards, so I managed to win this without needing to regenerate.

I wish I could do them for every video but I just don't have the time. Maybe if I were to get more subscribers :) Apologies for not remembering the names of cards. I'm a very visual person and I just don't have good memory of card names :) Commentary games aren't live (they're me doing play-by-play on games I've played recently), since those would just take way too long and I play on my iPad normally, not on PC where I record these games.

Shadow Era Meltdown 22: Victor Heartstriker (Me) vs. Moonstalker - Friday Fail MILLSTALKED

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (with commentary), Wednesday (Normal victory), and Friday (Loss). Originally Played: November 18, 2014 Version: 2.88 This one was a heartbreaker for my Heartstriker. Biggest mistake was not saving my Shriek of Vengeance for his Infinity Core, which allowed him to overwhelm me with his allies. It's a mistake I would've definitely exploited if I were in his shoes.

Shadow Era Meltdown: Eladwen Frostmire (Me) vs. Gwenneth Truesight - Card Hungry

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: November 13, 2014 Gwenneth had a HUGE advantage over me here, especially when she disabled my Braxnornian Soldier at 3:36 (which prevented me from regenerating via Lone Wolf), and then Mind Controlled my Rider of Ellos at 5:44. But then she made several huge mistakes: - Used Blood Frenzy when she had plenty of other ways to draw cards, which made her bleed quickly with no help from me. - Used Healing Touch too soon, when she was still in no danger of dying, allowing me to use Engulfing Flames with no defense at 9:05. - MOST importantly, she decided to kill my Braxnorian Soldier at 7:06, when she had no reason to. If she had left him alone, he still would have died (because of the Evil Ascendants), she still would've healed with Crimson Vest, she would've dealt ME damage instead, AND MOST OF ALL, I wouldn't have started regenerating with Lone Wolf until one turn later, which would've been enough to kill me in another turn. Gwenneth got greedy, and I got lucky!

Shadow Era Meltdown: Ter Adun (Me) vs. Zhanna Mist - Underdog Fight

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: November 10, 2014 Two unusual heroes in this battle, and frankly this may be the first ever time I've actually won using Ter Adun, mainly because I had an opponent who had a passive hero as well as having bad deck construction (i.e. they loaded at 56 cards).

Shadow Era Meltdown: Banebow (Me) vs. Eladwen Frostmire - Friday Fail!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: November 10, 2014 Frustrating loss here; Banebow is very good at early board control but sometimes his low damage makes it hard to destroy higher-health enemies. Just couldn't hang on.

Shadow Era Meltdown: Banebow (Me) vs. Amber Rain - Textbook Milling

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: November 10, 2014 Temporal Disturbance drained the opponent well, but it was us stealing each others' cards via his Dimension Ripper and my Gravedigger's Cloak that made the game really interesting. He would've killed me when he stole my Stalwart Bodyguard, but then I was able to get him back when I stole his Meteor Shower. Remember kids: don't use cards that cause you to lose cards (like Temporal Disturbance, Dimension Ripper, and Gravedigger's Cloak) when you still have important cards left in your deck. Especially when you're a card dependent hero like Amber Rain!

Originally Played: November 4, 2014 After being down to 3 health vs. their 28 health, I successfully mill the opponent, who refuses to quit even though I'm slowly gaining health doing nothing and he's slowly losing health. Thankfully he didn't stick around until he hit zero.

Shadow Era Meltdown: Banebow (Me) vs. Eladwen Frostmire - Protector Showdown

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: November 4, 2014 I don't even remember having picked Mocking Armor for my deck, much less two of them. Thank goodness. Also, Ill Gotten Gains is a very good passive card drawer, but at the end of the deck it becomes a serious liability. I lost a game recently because of the same thing, so I feel for this guy.

Shadow Era Meltdown: Victor Heartstriker (Me) vs. Banebow - Ally Destroyer

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: October 29, 2014 Banebow is the best overall hero in Meltdown (even more than Zaladar, since Banebow can control the board faster), but Victor Heartstriker is a very effective ally destroyer with its Hunter cards. Victor is most effective against Elementalis, but with Lone Wolf he can be very good at outlasting any opponent.

Shadow Era Meltdown: Zaladar (Me) vs. Moonstalker

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown Matches every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Originally Played: October 23, 2014 Originally meant to use Lone Wolf and mill this guy but he never really managed to dispatch my allies. Good to note in the future, Morbid Acolyte, which disables an ally's passive abilities, also removes Stealth on an ally activated by Moonstalker's ability.
