[Tournaments-HotA/SoD] Mirrors - 3

Bought the color, didn't ban anyone additionally.
The start wasn't great; I was lagging in money (LOL unusual) and tempo. Grindanan showed good stats and on 133 came to my plane and took a village, and on 134 seized the Dragon Utopia and a 2nd village, gaining momentum. The opponent thought this was enough for victory.
By that time, I had taken 2 cons in another corner of the enemy plane, reclaimed a DD scroll, and built up to GM4. With a pawn, I picked up a freely lying Impl scroll near the dungeon village on the enemy plane, which greatly surprised me, and immediately fired the pawn with the scroll so as not to give it away.
It became clear that the opponent was without control and without taking cons. Finished building GM5 (fire mages), took both cons, and picked up important DD and Impl scrolls on the other plane. Losing the main on 135 no longer mattered. On 141, I seized the enemy main; they had GM3 and one more bird (LOL). As expected, the Dragon Utopia on that side hadn't been taken (turned out to be a double with +5 belly, a black orb, and a gladius). Got bracers, bought up, started seizing villages, and leveled up on the main boxes. Cielka fought well against the pawns, distracting attention. Brissa supported from the main.
The army was already showing as stronger. Reclaimed +1 speed, which mattered a lot in FB.
On 144, we met at another Dragon Utopia and village. Cielka was destroyed and used one of the Impl scrolls to rush 10 ducks. Moner with 27 attack and 100 mana, against Grini's 3 defense, killed everything in 3 rounds via Mass Haste and Blind; didn't even need bracers. Moreover, at the end of round 1, a stack of ducks was exposed to a burn for -10 ducks through a hastily cast fake (LOL).
The only combat magic there was Ice Arrow at 400+. Easy FB )
Thanks for the game.
