You missed this match. We talked about it at the thread earlier but we were a bit vague i guess :lol

GG Astrolad. I think I was behind for about 80% of that one...at least it felt that way. Didn't help my perception any that I was dropping games left and right to random people last night.

You guys already played a match earlier. :) The tournament is set up so that each person plays against the people in their group once.

Strong has started a game with me, but it's still in round one. Hopefully it's just a time sync up issue and we can get our match done soon:)

Went back through, and yup! You're right. Got a few names mixed up.

I've gone through the thread and updated the standings, so let me know if there are some results that I've missed.

Yeah right! Maybe on your part! :p I was basically stumbling through the whole thing. Any type of strategy I had was wrecked from the get-go. :lol

Part of what I enjoy about Ascension is that general strategies can change with every random string of cards. You'll see in some games that the tableau is filled with monsters and all you've been hoarding are production oriented card and you end up biting yourself in the ass if you haven't built a balanced deck. I'm really digging this game. :)

So I've been playing a shit ton of this during my month absence. I thought it was a great game at first, but after all the matches I've played.. it seems the randomness really really kills it. It makes some cards extremely powerful (especially if you get them the first turn). Mostly the draw cards. Stuff like "Arbiter of the Precipice" is just game breakingly powerful if scored early in the game IMO. Which ever player is able to get enough deck cycle control cards early on, they've pretty much won the game since they can control the pace, and have a better likely hood of scoring good cards.

Cards that are just way too good:

-Seer of the Forked Pat (should be more expensive)
-Arbiter of the Precipice (Best card in the game hands down. Should be more expensive, it's priced lower than "Ascetic of the Lidless Eye" and is better...)
-Temple Librarian (not as good as the above too, but still great for it's price)
-Sea Tyrant (The *only* way to get rid of constructs effectively.)


Cards that suck horribly:

-Cetra, Waever of Stars (seriously what a POS)
- Mechana Initiate (other than discard fodder it's pretty useless.)
-Xeron, Duke of Lies (in a 1v1 game it's too much of a crapshoot)


I still like the game, it's just really flawed compared to something like Dominion. Usually within the first 5 turns you can predict who's going to win. I have had some good close games, but most are usually one sided either in my favor or my opponent. And once you start getting behind in the game, it's pretty hard to rebound back.

Funny that you forgot Flytrap Witch that early game can win a game for you.

It's a good card too, but it costs 5 so there's less of a chance to get it within the first couple of rounds.

It looks like we're down to the wire, with 2 games left to be played in group A. Any updates on those games? Looking to move to the elimination bracket within the next 1-2 days. If we don't receive results on those matches, I'll just determine them to be draws and 1 point will be given for draws. Also, it looks like we have a tie in group B between galvatron and jessecuster. Could you two play a tie-breaker match to determine your seed for the elimination portion?

I decide to just buy the game, its only 5 bucks.



Luckily its awesome! yay! Not quite as good as dominion, but its 5 dollars and I can play it anywhere, with anyone. Still dont have any sort of strategy in mind when I play though, might take a few more games :p

Congrats on getting a real copy! The game is so fun when you can actually get that tactile feel to the cards. We're starting the next round now! Look below for the link to the elimination bracket:

I did have to give players some losses, which affected the rankings. Remember, this elimination round is best 2 out of 3, so please report your games accordingly. Good luck!

Nice game Kosh, you had some amazing turns. I couldnt believe how many constructs you got set up.


I need to work on some strategy! I wing it a lot :p

Yep, good game. During your last turn, you should have taken the 6 cost/point construct. The game was over at the end of your turn and it was the highest points you could have got.

I usually watch the total amount of victory points, it's starts at 60 for a two player game. For the first half of the game, I concentrate on building my deck with synergy cards no matter how many points they are worth. Then once the victory points hit half of what they started at, I just take the highest amount of points I can get with my current rune and power points. Hope that makes sense.
