I drop Mighty swing because it give your opponent more chances to defend: I don't need dicey attacks, I need successful attacks.

 

I have been replacing any cards that rely on a dice roll to work for the same reason.  I want everything in my hand to DO something when I play it, not have a chance at doing something.  There is already an element of chance in drawing appropriate cards, by them also needing a dice roll it slims those odds even more.

As an extension of this logic, I am trying to keep 'Reaction' cards to a minimum unless its something very common, no more than 2 or 3.  I keep trying to tell my friend this but he keeps playing games staring at a hand that he cant use, waiting for that one situation to come up.  Keep those card choices generic I say, especially for our poor Reavers.

PS this is not advice to you specifically Mr Biboune you seem to know what you're doing better than me, just something I was thinking about today rightly or wrongly.

Biboune, how are you getting on with your pure offense deck?  In particular have you played Orruks or Stormcast?

You mean Master of War? I don’t like that objective. You have three conditions and it’s one glory. There are objective which are much easier to trigger. Plus Master of War is really hard to score if you have it on your starting hand to score round 1

No I don't mean that, that is indeed a terrible card. I mean Spoils of Battle: " Play an upgrade card.  This doesn't cost a glory point."

I think you are mixing up power step with end phase.

While the action phase you have four activations and each of them ends with a power step within each of them you can play as many upgrades you are able to.

I just read it all again, we have been playing it that you can only play upgrade cards in the end phase.  A lot of cards make more sense now, thanks all.  I really like Escalation now and will definitely include it, in light of my new found knowledge I think I will also try using Spoils of battle and one of the 'Key' upgrades.

I mean 3 upgrades...

Hi Qraith,

I could be wrong but at the moment I don't see it possible to score the Escalation objective.  The 3 objectives have to be played in the preceeding Action phase (not end phase as normal).  So far I can only see 2 cards we have to cheat them out in an Action phase; Spoils of Battle and Legacy.  If there is another I have missed someone let me know.  Even with a 3rd card I think this is unlikely to all come together and score. 

However I am thinking of putting both these cards in my Reavers deck anyway to upgrade fast and build momentum without scoring obj's first.
