A Mexican stand-off, or is it a German stand-still?
Some days ago, I sat down to enjoy my favorite IOS game of all time (no, not Shadow Era but ACR).
I just wanted to relax and play a few games. Getting comfy in my chair I meet my first opponent. I recognize the name from before. I wasn't sure from what, but since I just got started and was in a general good mood, I decided to play a fun deck against him.
Sometimes I think I recognize a name from a person who play a lamoid deck and then I bring the punishment hammer only to realize it is some poor guy who have 200 cards in total and all of them are in his deck. That makes me feel a bit guilty. I should only punish the guilty lamoids, not the innocent new players. So by pulling the lamoid punishing decks, I'm either LuriFox the punisher of Lamoid or I'm LuriMoid troll of ACR. Today I'm just LurifaxB, fan of ACR and want to have a good time.
So... I'm playing my first concept deck with mass site recycle. It is very focused on sites and getting Gaspar and Ezio combo going and great draw potential from Kadir (these three cards can make you draw your entire deck in no time). The deck wins by recycling Lighthouse or Romani Camp that scores when deployed. This deck was what turned into one league deck and all time favorite deck. A LurifaxB original I think. I haven't seen anyone use this against me - ever.
The Battle begins!
I get a decent hand with a Sofias office and Gaspar and other good cards. And the game is off.
I'll call opponent Hans and pretend he is a German. *Disclaimer: I like Germans, but making a bit of fun or their accent is even more likable! So take no offense, I'm only kidding.*
Hans plays Political Patronage then Maffeo (gives opponents cards Defender) and a Vantage point (gives opponent -1 income). Hmm I thought, this looks a bit familiar. Down comes a second vantage point. I'm back to 2 income, but luckily Sofias office will get me back slowly. The income drain is not really what worries me, it is Maffeo and what I think comes next. Sure enough, as turd attracts flies, down comes Georgios Kostas (makes defender cards score nothing more than what oppoent has on the location = nothing if score is 0). This is before I even deployed by 3rd Sofias office! I'm in for the long haul here of doing no scoring and just sitting there facing each other. Now I know what is going on in Hans' mind.
"Ze plan is rrrunning smoothli, mein opponent will be surrender by ze attition of war and come out witt ze handz in ze air, like a FrrenchfriesMan" (*Disclaimer regarding French. It is not my fault Hans thinks this way, so don't sue me*).
I'm not giving up, but instead put on my LuriFox battleface. Turns out that 1 of each of the Maffeo and Kostas is not enough, he plays Auxiliary Ego and clones them. Down comes a second pair(!!!).
But I do have one trick for him, Gaspar and Assassins Guild (kills highest cost opponent agent).
Hans: "Mein Gott, thiz is no Frenchy, thiz may be a Yankeee. Aber ich habe ein waffen für diesen Yankeeee."
Down comes Bearer of Mixed Tidings which will make him draw 3 cards (one will be killed by my site first).
Great, I'm thinking, so he hans several game stoppers AND draw on the same time. Mein Gott! (That was me saying that BTW).
But then he deploys more MofoKostAss' to a grand total of 5 on the board. How he want to win the game I'm guessing is either draw opponent mad or campaigning with the agents, which he isn't btw. I do get assassins guild recycled once and deploy it again. Now for my little trick. Down comes Ezio mentor and with Gaspar down, this is usually when I win the game!.... But I can't score with the combo going on, so I just need to kill all of his guys.
"Aha ze Yankee hast waffen, aber zo do ich"
Down comes Target Practice = dead Ezio and Gaspar. Before I can do any damage due to income.
O M G
He plays Media/crime MofoKostAss!?!?
Now that's it. I can't take this. Down comes 2nd Ezio and Gaspar. I get fired up and charge, firing off Assassins Guild like a machine gun, his guys are flying left and right. My income is rising fast with the Sofias Offices replacing each other and Assassin guilds.
"Nein nein nein! WAS IST DAS! MEIN MËNNER! VEEEERÜCHT! VERBOOOOTEN. NICHT MEEEER. Aber I have one zing thaz can change ze fight. History Blitzzzz"
And down comes History Glitch, to no avail. My sites are already 8 - 11 - 7 influence and his the Kosta he deploys dies when it hits the ground.
I kill the last of his guys, he has no cards in hand. He quits before I win the next day.
*Hans goes down into his bunker, kicks his dog and swears a lot in German. Contemplating if this is the time he deletes the app. Since there is definately something wrong when his Waffen SS deck got beat by something so silly as a site deck.*
Auf wiedersehen Hans. I know we will meet again. And I'm Danish btw. We are neighbours. Just don't send your dog over to piss on my lawn thank-you-very-much.
P.s. I have pictures I can add if you guys can tell me how you do the dropbox thing.
