Shadow Era Meltdown 52: Banebow vs. Majiya - Friday Fail!

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 29, 2015 Version: 2.88 FRIDAY FAIL Yes, this is another Shattered Fates loss. That said, the loss is more attributed to their having an Infinity Core, which is one of my favorite cards in the game, which is from Dark Prophecies. If I had been able to destroy that card, I probably would've won.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 19, 2015 Version: 2.88 WEDNESDAY WIN Another straightforward Lone-Wolf milling here. Just play it super slow and conservative, and remember to not draw too much with Ill Gotten Gains, which can drain your deck very quickly. Having the ability to see your opponent's hand proves invaluable in not wasting cards.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 25, 2014 Version: 2.88 COMMENTARY MONDAY Welcome to the 50th episode of the Meltdown Miller! In celebration of this feat, I am doing my first livecast of a meltdown game using a Shattered Fates deck (3 COTC and 1 SF). Unfortunately, my newb skills show through and uh, well, there's room for improvement.

Shadow Era Meltdown 49: Gravebone vs. Eladwen Frostmire - Friday Fail!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 19, 2015 Version: 2.88 FRIDAY FAIL Secret to Gravebone is to have a good early attack; you'll push the opponent on the defensive immediately, and then once they've spent their resources killing your early allies you revive them and start swarming. Strategy doesn't work when you don't have a lot of early allies.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 16, 2015 Version: 2.88 WEDNESDAY WIN For the life of me I can't understand why he decided to destroy my armor instead of my What Big Teeth. I guess he assumed that since he'd eventually draw his own What Big Teeth, he'd have enough saved SE to be able to ambush me, so he'd rather just get rid of my armor to quicken my death, and also to prevent damage to himself. Oh well! :)

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 17, 2015 Version: 2.88 COMMENTARY MONDAY Nice solid win again. Majiya made the common mistake of using her Shadow Ability against an ally with Sacred Fire Walker, which makes the ally immune to Fire Damage. It's a mistake I'd made many times in the past.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 14, 2014 Version: 2.88 FRIDAY FAIL This was another bitter loss because I really had most things going for me, mainly Infinity Core and Lone Wolf. The funny thing is I sacrificed as second Lone Wolf not long before Eladwen cleared all the attachments, so if I hadn't done that I might've survived a few more turns. Still, he just had a really good roll of allies going.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 8, 2015 Version: 2.88 WEDNESDAY WIN This might look like a thorough beatdown but I actually played thoughtfully conservatively throughout. Eladwen's ability is better at controlling my allies and with her Ascendant it wouldn't be hard for her to mount an ally army that I wouldn't be able to stop, so I played slow and steady making sure her allies were dispatched before they could be a threat.

No Lone Wolf, no Tome of Knowledge, no Infinity Core. Just normal grinding (plus What Big Teeth).

Shadow Era Meltdown 43: Banebow vs. Gravebone - Friday Fail!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 3, 2015 Version: 2.88 FRIDAY FAIL With a good collection of allies, Gravebone can easily overwhelm Banebow, who can't cause enough damage quickly enough to dispatch of high-HP allies. I hung on as much as I could, but couldn't get enough of an upper hand.

Shadow Era Meltdown 42: Zaladar vs. Gravebone- Wednesday Win!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: January 1, 2015 Version: 2.88 WEDNESDAY WIN I've usually been hesitant to use Blood Frenzy because stacked with bleeding and ablaze, I could die very quickly. But given any other lack of card drawing abilities, sometimes you have no choice. With a rush hero like Zaladar and a more defensive hero like Gravebone, you can win quickly before you run out of cards.

Shadow Era Meltdown 40: Victor Heartstriker vs. Zaladar - Friday Fail!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: December 30, 2014 Version: 2.88 FRIDAY FAIL An opponent with a deck size in the low 30's is pretty confident in their card choices, and with Zaladar they have a pretty good rush deck. I might've been able to outlast them with my slow game but the combination of POISON and ABLAZE just kept me from recovering in time.
