Forceful_Dragon 07/19/18 12:07:39 PM #288: | Going through yesterdays HGG vod and I got to the 4th match of New Zealand vs Portugal. Shudderwock vs Control Mage. Control Mage bottom 2 cards were DK and Alanna. Which is terribly terribly unlucky. But I think even WORSE than that was the ridiculous outcomes from the shudderwock batlecry orders. -Shudderwock #1- Zola Grumble ~Saronite Lifedrinker MCT Keleseth ~Saronite Hagatha Ooze Complete whiff. But he had a 1 mana zola in hand so he was able to return a 9 mana shudderwock back to hand. (now 2 zola battlecries in list) And then the sick thing that happens next is the fact that hagatha is consistently, CONSISTENTLY giving them terrible cards clogging up the hand. Things like crushing hand that would overload you for a shudder turn or just expensive cards with no targets like hex. -Shudderwock #2- Grumble Ooze MCT ~Saronite Hagatha Zola Lifedrinker Zola ~Saronite Keleseth Grumble whiff, but both zola's hit. Gives them two 9-mana shudderwocks in hand. Oh and their hand is completely full with pointless spells they can't remove easily. -Shudderwock #3- Ooze Grumble Zola Zola Hagatha ~Saronite Kelseth MCT Lifedrinker Glacial Shard ~Saronite Complete and total whiff. Now there is one 9 mana shudderwock left. Then they get stuck for a few more turns trying to dump cards. -Shudderwock #4- Grumble Lifedrinker MCT Zola Lifedrinker Glacial Hagatha Kelseth Ooze Zola ~Saronite Glacial Shard ~Saronite 0 shudderwock's left in hand. Three FULL WHIFFS across 4 shudderwocks. They went on to make a misplay a few turns into fatigue after mage made played Alanna where they could have cleared and didn't, but that seems wholly beside the point, but the fact is I don't think I've ever seen so many ineffectual shudderwock's in a single game. There were between 9-13 battlecrys on each of the shudderwocks and grumble landed first or second on each one, and ALL of the Grumble/Zola's landed before BOTH of the saronite's 3 out of 4 times. I'm not sure what the math on that is exactly, but it's pretty freaking awful. Like just Grumble luck alone is a 67% chance to succeed each time, and grumble failed all 4x. Throw in the extra chance from 1/2/2/2 zola's on each one and I'm not sure what you get except screwed. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
