PReDS (red, dungeon, Dimmer, Dimmer) def Redwhite (blue, ramp, Aeris, Brissa), Mini-nostalgia, 146.

The first three-plus weeks were helpful, then the clashes began. Zhenka has more ducks, I have a flood. His combat stats are higher; I have HP 37 and over 1000 mana. Without monster experience, the blues had no arguments against a chain-cast for 2340.

Thanks for the game.

Yes, it was one of those frustrating defeats. On the second week in the treasure zone, if they'd given me a mage in prison instead of a level 10 non-unit that can no longer fight, a very important day would have been saved. In the end, on turn 132 I take the level 5 hat in the center treasure zone, and by 133 the opponent is already hauling away an army from the conf treasure zone via chain-casting to who knows where. As a result, I spent a bunch of more time in the central sandy treasure zone, took the fire book and other random stuff; Brissa leveled beautifully—they just didn't give intelligence, but all 4 magics, wisdom, scout, attack, and even logistics in the last slot.
Further, the plan for turn 137 was to snatch the conf from the opponent, but a dimmer with 400+ mana had already settled there—phoenixes, 30 ducks, and maybe 4 angels; I had 60+ ducks, 5 angels, and fodder in the form of mages and single genies, and not that much mana, around 150, + scary HP there, so I didn't risk it. Then he bought himself phoenixes from two caches and came to kill me; I ran around, but both had 2 DDs, so it didn't last very long.
Thanks for an interesting game and good luck in the tournament.
PS question to the moderator: Why is red rush cancelled on mini-nostalgia :confused: this isn't HL+.
