As a reward, I got festive cosmetics, a legendary pack, and three Globs shards, which I exchanged for a whole one, I still have two left. Now I have three Globs, but I don't know what to animate with them... Maybe a new Satan, if I pull him? 14 animations from one Glob is a mega-value! Although, how playable he will be is another question.
This was the end of the last game:
Latham's effect allowed me to activate Perseus's evolution effect, it turned out interestingly and just in time. This is not quite the end, actually, but the opponent was already practically defeated. On the next turn, he played Olivia, which didn't save him in any way.
I didn't get to discount Latham with Gawain in this match, but I did pull off such a trick in one of the previous ones.
It's a little sad that Gawain was rotated, he would definitely be played in the current mid-Swords...
Here are a couple more highlights from the recent Grand Prix:
Octris is such an unpleasant card. Honestly, I don't quite understand why I encountered Leonid more often than her at this Grand Prix... He wasn't very reliable at the last event either, and now he's lost even more in this regard with the appearance of Usurpation and other Mordekai counters.
I agree with Vish about the Forest in this Grand Prix - I also enjoyed drafting it more than the other classes. It's great when you can assemble a control Forest in tier 2 with a Wolf and a Bolt/Elephant. And even better when you can actually pull off an OTK in the tradition of Chrono-Forest x) I once did something similar with a combination of Corvus and a Roach, but I didn't screenshot it, unfortunately...
And here's another one, just for good measure. This is already a rotation constructed, Highlander Swords, which I've been playing with recently. I played the Usurpation servant on turn 2, then on turn 3 I cast Star Shields on him, lol. The opponent couldn't clear him throughout the game x) Although he had a chance to remove him, but he chose to destroy the evolution Vayne, which is quite understandable. And the servant ended up buffing so much that it was really impossible to do anything with him. The opponent thought for a long time before conceding x) Looking at such situations, it becomes clear why no one likes to play against Highlanders... I haven't had so many disconnections from opponents since the WD Ambush Swords!
