Shadow Era Meltdown 85: Victor Heartstriker vs. Boris Skullcrusher - Friday Fail!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: April 17, 2015 Version: 2.89 FRIDAY FAIL Yet another super close game that ended up with me losing because of a last minute bad choice. It wasn't really a bad choice, my Scrying Eye showed that they were about to destroy my Infinity Core, so I shuffled their deck, only for Supernova to show up instead.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 12, 2015 Version: 2.89 WEDNESDAY WIN Finally, here's an honest to goodness full game where I won with a Praxix. Still learning incrementally here, so definite room for improvement!

I don't actually know whether or not I would've actually won this game (if I worked it out I could probably deduce it), but my opponent (SPOILER ALERT) quit before we could even get there. It was certainly a close game throughout, lots of allies getting thrown around at the end.

New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 26, 2015 Version: 2.89 FRIDAY FAIL Um, so I would've won this game had I paid attention to what "Exaltation" actually does as a card... I thought it made an Ally immune to negative attachments. Turns out that only works AFTER Exaltation is attached. It doesn't negate any negative attachments already on the ally. If I'd attached Exaltation to Morbid Acolyte, I would've won. Nuts.

Shadow Era Meltdown 81: Praxix vs. Skervox - Wednesday Win!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 11, 2015 Version: 2.89 WEDNESDAY WIN So last month's Wednesday win showed me playing Praxix for the first time (and losing). This game is actually the second time I've won with Praxix, and my opponent quits prematurely*, but the first time I played the game the opponent quit even sooner. So I'll let this one stand for now! *Other than losing my Temporal Disturbance and Infinity Core, this game went about as well as I could hope for for a Praxix game. Skervox almost went out of his way to get themselves milled. I wish they'd played all the way to the end cause I think they could've had a chance to win. I don't think I've nearly learned all I can with playing Praxix.

If I were to make excuses I'd say it was because I accidentally sacrificed my Spirit Warden, but really it was just sad.

Shadow Era Meltdown 78: Skervox vs. Victor Heartstriker - Wednesday Win!!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 10, 2015 Version: 2.89 WEDNESDAY WIN As of the time of this recording (which is a few weeks before it got published) this was the first recorded game I had winning with a Shattered Fates hero. I'd won other games before but I didn't get to putting them up online until now. Bout damn time! According to the final stats the game was pretty lopsided on my end but I think my opponent hung in there pretty well, actually; it was a pretty tense ally-ally showdown.

Shadow Era Meltdown 77: Elementalis vs. Skervox - Commentary Monday!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 16, 2015 Version: 2.89 COMMENTARY MONDAY Skervox is a good hero against an ally-based hero like Elementalis, unfortunately, so the best we could do was hang in there. I shouldn't have sacrificed my second Tome of Knowledge, again card draw is what killed me here.

Shadow Era Meltdown 76: Gwenneth Truesight vs. Amber Rain - Friday Fail!

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 20, 2015 Version: 2.89 FRIDAY FAIL Of course one of the few times I play a weapon-based hero, I had to be put against one :). And I only choose to play Gwenneth (or Amber) when the card choices are really good, too! Grumble.

Please Subscribe! New Meltdown matches every Monday (Commentary Monday), Wednesday (Wednesday Win), and Friday (Friday Fail) Originally Played: March 10, 2015 Version: 2.89 WEDNESDAY WIN I wish replays would let you see the opponent's top card via Scrying Eye. Anyway, Scrying Eye is great against weapon-based heroes because you can see if/when they're about to draw a weapon card, and you can shuffle it out before they do. The funny thing is, in this instance, I never saw Amber about to draw a What Big Teeth, which is of course the point of choosing Amber in a Meltdown game.
