Well, I wasn’t going to try for higher scores, but it seemed a shame to leave that low Ironclad dragging me down. Did my first run in a couple weeks and it went well. Got last unlocks for him too.
All right, think I’m done now:
Had to drop down to Ascension 2 to get a Defect run I’m happy with. Massive deck, but when every power heals 2 points and makes another card in the hand cost 0, and a couple of them are Heatsinks so you get at least one card draw, might as well take every one you can find.
Well, I still can’t get above 1000, but got closer this time. I just don’t know how to build decks to kill the heart. Been a fun tournament though regardless.
Yeah, I saw that … might take another run or two at improving my lower scores.
For what it’s worth, even though I said I’d participate and even though I’ve been here talking about the game, I’ve never even played the Wanderer, I’ve never won a run, and all my scores are no higher than 250. So you can probably give me a DNF in the standings.
I still like the idea and as we tweak it, does anyone have any interest in moving this format to another game after StS? Something like Meteorfall or it’s ilk. I know Monster Train is a big one right now but it sadly isn’t on iOS.
I was thinking of doing Monster Train next.
The way I was thinking about it would be that you have to register 3 scores, and they can be any clan mixes, as long as the 3 scores have all 6 clans represented. So mix and match as you want.
Unless Monster Train is on iOS, I would vote for Meteorfall. Or Dream Quest if that’s an option.
I’m happy with any of those choices … and if we come back to StS at some point, I’d vote for basing the tournament on daily runs so everyone’s playing the same run. Maybe play for a week or two and drop each week’s lowest score, something like that.
Upgraded my Silent score:
I think that’s the first Silent win I’ve ever gotten that wasn’t a poison-heavy deck.
Yeah, I’ll be sitting Monster Train out. But if I have to wait a few weeks for a new card game to roll around, so be it.
Got Runic Pyramid and Ice Cream Cone as my first two relics, so in a way I am disappointed at this outcome even though it was a good score.
I know fantasy/sci-fi lend themselves much better to abilities/magic/bosses, but I can’t help but think that I would absolutely love a game of this type with a real-world theme. WWII or special ops or something. I can’t see why it couldn’t be done.
Oh, I just realized I never officially said: Congrats @Hustlertwo for winning our first attempt at this. @geigerm was a strong runner up. @Baelnor you beat me with a good showing.
Thanks! Geiger definitely took it down to the wire, it was a great tournament. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks team! That was the first time I had opened this game since purple dude came out
Congrats @Hustlertwo! I did spend a good chunk of Sunday night trying to put up one last good score but couldn’t do it.
