RE: Splinterlands 101 - Ep 20: Battle Analysis and Stuff

Lol. @mattclarke I didn't know @giotrix was gonna win that match, but when you were giving your analysis I didn't hear you mention backfire damage from chaos agent at all, and you had a lot of slower cards, particularly Swamp Thing, which I knew would die back from backfire if Chaos Agent held on long enough.
Also, the disbelief of how if played out was just wonderful. That's how I felt when @aussieninja pulled that bullshit that got me on the show's radar. I've been trying to abuse him for retribution, but he's sneaky. I think he's hiding in gold league, where Gods don't roam.
Also, it may have come up elsewhere, but we definitely discussed the Stampede ruleset being a trap, since it limits your tank options, but it's excellent for opportunist rules. I try to use Hydra with whatever native trampler I have in the splinter I'm using stashed in the back lines. I've gotten some pretty amazing stampedes that way, particularly with fire splinter since there are so many cards that have it... Molten Ogre, Giant Rock, and Exploding Dwarf all come to mind.
Challenge our beast masters :)
Lol. I was thinking about it but none of you can really compete in my league and I'm shit below diamond. It's a conundrum.
Ok, we'll get @aussieninja back to flog you again then. 🥵
It wasn’t a floggin’. It was some sneaky ninja bullshit and dark magic. It doesn’t count as a home run if you hit it with a corked bat.
Or maybe, that was just "not the win you're looking for" 🥷
Oh it's the one I wanted. I beat him often enough to be a nemesis so apparently I got the rest covered. 😁
Yeah. Like that but from behind and for no good reason.
Yeh, that's the way to do it :P
I wish I'd grabbed a Hydra back in the day.
I've also found the double-up of Silvershield Knight (pierce and inspire) and Sacred Unicorn (divine shield and self heal), can offer enjoyable outcomes in Opportunity/Stampede.
Oooh, yeah. Forgot about knight with inspire. That’s a sick combo.
Magnor too. That guy is a juggernaut.
Lol. I once beat Magnor with a baby unicorn tank. Best day ever!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 no one saw that win from Gio
I didn’t call it but I have a lot of faith in Chaos Agent. I’ve even used it in reverse speed with spirit hoarder and had it work almost as well as the swift variant I like to preach about. It’s almost like he’s The One.
Our Gio is growing up fast :)
both you and i man. Had no clue i was going to take that. Chaos agent again proves its superiority.
