KrazyCaley vs. squire1

KrazyCaley's deck - Kon'iro no Shinobi. Ninjas!

Game 1

Squire wins the toss and plays first. He keeps his opener.

Caley mulligans a no-land hand. Then he keeps a hand of 2x Swamp, Jwar Isle Refuge, Arcane Sanctum, Island, and Throat Slitter.

T1

Squire plays Mountain for Mogg Fanatic and passes.

Caley draws Ninja of the Deep Hours, plays Jwar Isle Refuge, and passes. (Caley 21, Squire 20).

I AM NOW WINNING THIS DUEL. SCOREBOARD.

T2

Squire plays Mountain, casts another Mogg Fanatic, attacks with the first one, and passes. (Caley 20, Squire 20).

He's TIED THE GAME! An AMAZING COMEBACK by Squire!

Caley draws Throat Slitter, plays Arcane Sanctum, and passes.

T3

Squire attacks with his Mogg Fanatics and passes. (Squire 20, Caley 18).

Caley draws Mistblade Shinobi. He plays Swamp, casts the Mistblade, and passes.

It has taken an unfortunately long time to get to this point. Usually I have Ornithopters and Flying Men to be ninja bait. I'm sure Squire's goblins seem slow in coming too, though.

T4

Squire attacks with everything and passes. (Squire 20, Caley 16).

Caley draws Swamp, plays Swamp and attacks with Mistblade Shinobi. Squire tries to Burst Lightning it, but Caley responds by smoke bombing in Ninja of the Deep Hours in its place, fizzling the Burst Lightning. Ninja of the Deep Hours hits, and Caley draws a card (another Mistblade Shinobi ). Caley passes. (Squire 18, Caley 16).

Ninjutsu rules refresher: Squire tries to Burst Lightning the Mistblade. Once I ninjutsu in Ninja of the Deep Hours, he can't respond to that by trying another method of killing mistblade (like those Mogg Fanatics, for instance) because pulling UP the unblocked attacker that is going back into your hand is part of the COST of ninjutsu and happens as soon as you choose to activate the effect, even though the effect itself (namely, Ninja of the Deep Hours coming IN) uses the stack as normal.

Also, note that the best time to try and kill ninjas is usually outside of the combat phase, or failing that, when they have been blocked. Otherwise, they are tricky to kill.

T5

Squire attacks with his Moggs. (Squire 18, Caley 14). Then he passes.

Mana screw strikes again.

Caley draws Throat Slitter, plays Island, and attacks with Ninja of the Deep Hours. Going unblocked, Caley ninjas in Throat Slitter. Squire tries to kill the Throat Slitter with Lightning Axe. Caley responds by reninjaing in Ninja of the Deep Hours, pulling up the Throat Slitter. Caley draws Flying Men with the hit from Deep Hours. (Squire 16, Caley 14).

NIIIIINJA

T6

Squire plays a Mountain. He sacrifices one Mogg Fanatic, hitting Caley. (Squire 16, Caley 13). Then he attacks with the other Mogg. (Squire 16, Caley 12). Then he sacrifices the last Mogg. (Squire 16, Caley 11). Then he casts Pyroclasm, killing Ninja of the Deep Hours. (Probably a misclick resulted in him sacrificing one of the Moggs before attacking).

Caley draws Arcane Sanctum and plays it. He casts Flying Men and passes.

T7

Squire plays Mountain and casts Balduvian Horde discarding Fireball. Squire passes.

Caley draws Echoing Truth. He attacks with Flying Men, but ninjas in Throat Slitter, killing Balduvian Horde. (Squire 14, Caley 11) Then he casts Flying Men again and passes.

T8
