ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yen can also resummon that medic card from the grave for a nice wombo combo. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Not especially useful for me since I usually just use throwaways on the first round, so I don't need a healer until the third. Unless my opponent resigns early in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 it’s useful if you have a decoy card and that medic card already dead. Then drawing Yen allows you to bring her back and pocket her later for the third round, if there even is one and you’re not forced to use her in the second. It’s just one more option you’ve got, which early on before you’ve got like, four or five different spy cards is a godsend on hard. That and the AI sometimes is pretty damn smart and oftentimes, especially on hard, they’ll always save their best stuff for last as well, so either you resign early and throwaway the round or they’ll force you to drop better cards.

Celan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 That's why I said it's not especially useful, since I rarely have anything to resurrect until the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Why’s that not useful, it’s an easy extra few points, 10 if you saved your leader ability to double siege cards attack. So you get a summon, another summon, and a cool 17 total extra points not counting whatever card you brought back which may even be another siege card. All that’s very useful on the last phase.

ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 If you go by that logic most cards aren’t useful because you save everything to the last phase anyway. Excluding spies.

ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Anyway, I didn’t put that out there as a game winning strategy, I just said it to say the Yen card with other resurrect cards gives you more options in general, that being one of them. Even if one option ain’t all that useful to you, it’s still an option that can come in handy making that card more versatile in a deck despite not having 10 or 15 points like the other special cards. Which is why often times I’d rather draw Yen than the others. That’s all. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because my Dun Banner medic is almost never in play in the first or second. If I redeploy her, it's with a decoy card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The Yen card is very useful for the way I play, but I like to hit hard in the first round and usually open up with siege equipment. More often than not, opponents will burn a Scorch on the first catapult so Dun Banner comes in handy for that. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I do a mix of both, mainly to bait that card early. On hard, everybody has a fucking scorch card. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 It depends on what faction I’m against and how my starting hand looks. Ideally, if I’m up against anyone but Scoia’tael, I like to open strong, bait out scorches, and either get my opponent to use up way too many cards in the first round or surrender early and let me hit them with a bunch of spy cards at once to stack up my hand. If they’re Scoia’tael I never do that last part, because they’re bound to have a shitload of healers who will swipe my spies. In that case I like to save them for the end. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 They should have the Yennefer card refuse to deploy unless everyone in the row matches her outfit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 If it’s the elves, I honestly don’t even worry. They’re the easiest deck to handle. You got to try to lose against them.

ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yea the monster deck swarms like crazy but they also run out of cards pretty quick. And get fucked by the frost bite card.

BigBossBalrog Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Since I cant be the true evil in Fallout or Skyrim (the real kind of real evil Capitalist dickhead who racks up the prices for my own amusement and gain) I'm pretty excited to try this.

ColonelKillaBee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I was being sarcastic lol. That’s one brand of “evil” I don’t care to explore. My brand is more about doing what’s necessary, or being an agent of chaos and change. Or spiteful and vengeful.
