Round One AGL VS SHIELD

Round 1

AGL VS S.H.I.E.L.D

 

It’s the first game of round one.  My friend Ben that is helping run this tournament decides on Shield so I take AGL.  We roll for initiative and I win taking odds.  I mull my Chomin less hand into one that does have Chomin score! and Ben keeps. 

 

Game 1

 

Turn 1. I play Chomin and Ben has a Shield Agent burning me for 2.  I go into the agent with a flying kick.  AGL 48, SHIELD 46

 

Turn 2. Ben bounces his Agent to Origin story then plays two Agents burning me for 4.  I have two AGLs.  Ben passes his attacks.  I send one AGL into an Agent and he reinforces.  I send another AGL into the other Agent, and then Chomin goes in direct.  After combat is over Chomin stuns an AGL to his effect and I bounce the other to Origin Story to get an AGL.  Ben loses an Agent in recovery.  AGL 43, SHIELD 39

 

Turn 3. I recruit three AGL.  Ben recruits Nick Fury then uses his ability to put two more Agents into play burring me for 4.  I try to send an AGL into an Agent and Ben decides to send his Agents back to his hand via flipping Shield Hellicarrier.  So I swing to the face with my AGLS and Chomin, the use Chomin’s ability stunning an AGL.  All my AGL’s die to their ability except the stunned one of course.  AGL 39 SHIELD 20

 

Turn 4. Ben recruits Squirrel Girl bringing an Agent with her, and then recruits two more Agents burning me for a total for six.  I recruit four AGLs.  Ben sends Nic Fury to the face with two Savage Beatdowns for 16 points of damage.  Three Agents and Squirrel got the face for 9.  I send an AGL into Squirrel Girl, an AGL into an Agent three times, and an AGL and Chomin Direct, with Chomin stunning an AGL to his ability.  AGL 7 SHIELD 1

 

Turn 5. I have one measly AGL because this deck likes to make things difficult for me; luckily all Ben could recruit was one Agent as well.  I play Banished to the Anti-Matter Universe on an Agent to break up reinforce I saw like no pumps this game so I am trying to do as much damage as possible.  I send an AGL into the lone visible Agent.  Then send my remaining AGL and Chomin to the face.  Ben sends his hidden Agent to the face for two and Megablasts Nick Fury and powers him up twice.  Its close but when the dust settles its AGL -7 SHIELD –8

 

Game 2

 

Ben decides to keep even initiative and it’s on to game two. 

 

Turn 1. I recruit an AGL and Ben has an Agent.  AGL swings into the Agent.  AGL 48 SHIELD 47

 

Turn 2. Ben plays Origin Story on his Agent, to get another Agent, and then recruits two Agents.  I have a Watchdog and an AGL.  Ben has no way to pump through the Watchdog at the moment and passes on his attacks.  I send an AGL into an Agent and he reinforces.  I bounce my AGL back to my hand with Insect Swarm.  AGL 44 SHIELD 46

 

Turn 3.  I’ve had a Willworld since turn one but so far it has just been revealing plot twists and laughing at me, this turn it feels sorry for me and gives me a Chomin I recruit him and two AGLs.  Ben has two more Agents.  Feeling reckless stupid or both, I send a Chomin in as my first attack to break up reinforcement; Ben decides to bounce three agents back to his hand to flip Shield Hellicarrier.  So now I decide to send an AGL into an Agent and that one gets bounced to Origin Story.  So now I send an AGL to the face with Megablast.  Another AGL direct and Chomin direct.  Then Chomin does his thing to an AGL.  AGL 39 SHIELD 31

 

Turn 4. Ben recruits Nick Fury and an Agent.  I have an AGL.  Nick activates to bring in another Agent.  Ben sends an Agent into Watchdog with a Megablast.  The remaining Agent goes in direct.  I send AGL into Agent twice, then Chomin direct with a flying kick, then Chomin an AGL.  AGL 30 SHIELD 19

 

Turn 5. I get a Xallarap off Willworld.  Ben has four Agents.  I send an AGL into an Agent to leave one Agent all by himself so Xallarap can beat up on him with the next attack.  This fails though when the lone Agent Xallarap is gunning for gets bounced to Origin Story.  Xallarap can only go into a reinforced Agent for one with his new attack.  Chomin can’t hit anyone so he stuns Xallrap to his ability.  Nick and the remaining Agent attack to the face.  I flip Torture Chamber and KO a AGL to it.  AGL 14 SHIELD 10

 

Turn 6. Ben recruits three Agents.  Flips another Hellicarrier KO’ing the first one and bouncing the three Agents back to his hand then re-recruiting them.  I draw into another Xallarap and an AGL.  So making the most of it I KO my current Xallarap then recruit the new one and the AGL.  Ben sends Nick Fury to the face with two Big Leagues and a Savage Beatdown. Then his five Agents swing to the face as well.  All I can do is send an AGL into an Agent and Xallarap into an Agent.  Final Score AGL -27 Shield -3

 

Game 3

 

Turn 1.  I have Chomin, Ben has an Agent.  Chomin into Agent.  AGL 48 SHIELD 49

 

Turn 2.  Ben recruits two Agents.  I recruit Qwardian Watchdog.  Ben has no way to get through the Watchdog.  Chomin goes into an Agent; Ben plays Origin Story on that Agent.  Chomin goes after the other Agent.  AGL 44 SHIELD 48

 

Turn 3.  I have no recruits, yep you read that right no recruits.  Ben has Nick Fury.  Chomin figures out that the AGL are sitting this one out so it’s all on him.  So he Banishes an Agent to the Antimatter Universe.  Then he goes to the face with a Megablast and Cosmic Conflict.  Nick goes into the Qwardian Watchdog with two power ups.  An agent decides to get frisky and goes after Chomin with a power up.  Little did he know is that in lieu of giving me AGL the deck has already gave me three Chomin, so I power up as well.  Feeling the Agents are better served being played instead of pitched to power up battles Ben lets the Agent stun on the brick wall.  AGL 42 SHIELD 37

 

Turn 4.  Ben plays Origin Story on an Agent, and then recruits four Agents.  Yet again I have no recruits.  I decide to keep my Chomin that is visible to at least soak up one point of damage instead of recruiting him into the hidden area.  Ben sends Nick Fury into Chomin.  No hellicarrier yet so the Agents can do nothing.  AGL 30 SHIELD 37

 

Turn 5.  I recruit an AGL, then Origin Story that AGL play him again and play a Xallarap.  Ben recruits two Agents.  I send an AGL into an Agent and Ben reinforces.  Xallarap is free to whale on a lone Agent and does so.  Chomin does the stun thing on Xallarap, and then goes after an Agent himself.  Nick goes into Chomin.  I origin story an AGL back to my hand to search for another.  AGL 19 SHIELD 25

 

Turn 6.  Ben recruits an Agent and a Maria hill.  He then puts an Agent on top of his deck with Asgard  and activates Maria and of course hits, giving all his guys plus 1 attack this turn.  Then recruits the Agent he just rallied for.  I recruit a new Chomin (I kept Xallarap last turn) and three AGL.  Nick Fury goes to the face with two Savage Beatdowns.  Six Agents go to the face.  All I can do is swing back into his Agents have no pumps so it’s not enough to come back.  Final Score AGL -5 SHIELD 7 I believe it wasn’t enough to kill him so I may be off a bit

 

SHIELD wins 2 to 1

 

I really felt like I let Shadow trooper down but I couldn’t overcome the lack of guys game three and the lack of pump all match.  Even with good draws on both sides these deck seem pretty evenly matched.  Shield can swarm out some many guys it’s hard to deal breakthrough.  I hope it wasn’t too annoying with me not saying what each person kept during recovery.  I kind of didn’t realize how important this was until half way through doing the games.  My reports in the future should be more detailed as I get the hang of this.
