[ 2359.9s] I'll attack Pisces for 4 damage.
[ 2364.4s] Okay.
[ 2378.3s] I'm not gonna like this, but I'll play them both in the same lane.
[ 2385.0s] I'll attack with the sword to Pisces to kill Pisces.
[ 2394.2s] That's just gonna be a big problem if I don't get rid of it.
[ 2403.6s] Yeah, your turn.
[ 2404.9s] Or, actually, next round.
[ 2410.5s] You're gonna have something big, though.
[ 2411.9s] You have all this AP.
[ 2441.3s] I'm not thinking.
[ 2452.6s] Ready?
[ 2456.8s] Okay, I got licks.
[ 2460.8s] Oh, okay, you probably have one of those big demons in your hand.
[ 2466.6s] And, um...
[ 2474.8s] I forgot what they do.
[ 2478.2s] Or are you gonna do that nuke ability?
[ 2485.7s] Okay.
[ 2505.4s] You can go first.
[ 2526.6s] Okay.
[ 2556.6s] Okay.
[ 2586.6s] Okay.
[ 2619.7s] Okay.
[ 2620.2s] Like banning your defense. Oh, go ahead. Yeah.
[ 2625.1s] All right.
[ 2626.4s] Like banning your defensive card really paid off.
[ 2629.4s] I might regret that still but
[ 2633.1s] um,
[ 2642.7s] he has more HP.
[ 2659.9s] I'll just wait a minute.
[ 2660.4s] 
[ 2660.4s] 
[ 2660.4s] If I exhaust you. Okay, so let's say it's your turn. And if I exhaust you as you use an ability, like I like with haymaker.
[ 2669.0s] Does it stop your ability from triggering.
[ 2672.9s] Okay.
[ 2674.0s] Okay.
[ 2676.6s] 
[ 2683.3s] But I might just do that.
[ 2689.8s] Wait, now we're still up though.
[ 2692.6s] Good.
[ 2708.8s] I just don't know what's in your hand so free to play on.
[ 2712.9s] Um,
[ 2743.5s] I think.
[ 2744.0s] Okay, I think.
[ 2745.8s] I'll use of licks here.
[ 2751.1s] I'll move for free.
[ 2754.2s] Hope I don't regret this.
[ 2756.4s] I'll pay one. I mean, get one mana move here.
[ 2761.3s] Oh,
[ 2761.8s] I'm going to
[ 2763.7s] 
[ 2766.3s] target I'm on with wardens command. So to AP.
[ 2772.8s] Now I
[ 2775.2s] licks disability and my next if I target the same demon, it costs one less AP.
[ 2780.1s] So I'll use I'm on say maker.
[ 2784.3s] So you move back to the sword lane, and you take
[ 2789.1s] to damage.
[ 2793.1s] Oh, you're right. Yeah, it's not fixed. Okay.
[ 2796.8s] And that's it.
[ 2803.4s] Okay.
[ 2808.9s] Okay.
[ 2819.2s] So I'm going to go ahead and do a little
[ 2819.4s] 
[ 2819.4s] And then I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit of damage.
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] 
[ 2819.8s] So if I wanted trade, maybe if a hand came out.
[ 2824.5s] I'm just gonna go back.
[ 2828.8s] 
[ 2831.2s] I shouldn't use anime
[ 2832.2s] 
[ 2832.2s] That's under a cold,
[ 2833.7s] 
[ 2837.4s] Let's call itfristodo.
[ 2839.0s] Looks pretty good.
[ 2847.3s] Combo action has been
[ 2849.2s] 
[ 2849.2s] 
[ 2849.2s] 
[ 2849.5s] 
[ 2873.9s] Okay.
[ 2880.1s] Is this okay? It's not fixed damage. That's actually pretty good.
[ 2893.5s] I know what's coming.
[ 2898.0s] Yeah, I'll go first.
[ 2908.3s] I'll use
[ 2909.3s] Warden's Command on Renovae.
[ 2915.1s] Play Dekakabra here.
[ 2917.0s] Your turn. At the beginning of your turn, he uses Perfect Defense.
[ 2921.6s] It keeps going.
[ 2963.3s] Oh, really?
[ 2964.1s] That's interesting.
[ 2965.7s] I thought you would not fuse.
[ 2967.3s] Okay.
[ 2978.8s] So pretty much
[ 2980.7s] you just heal Paimon.
[ 2983.7s] Well, actually...
[ 2988.7s] Yeah, I think it'll just be neutral.
[ 2992.1s] Because you heal the damage you do. It's the exact same.
[ 3011.9s] I think it's neutral.
[ 3013.9s] 
[ 3013.9s] 
[ 3014.0s] Yeah.
[ 3014.2s] Yeah.
[ 3015.0s] Yeah.
[ 3016.0s] Yeah.
[ 3016.3s] Yeah.
[ 3016.4s] Yeah.
[ 3017.5s] Yeah.
[ 3018.5s] Yeah.
[ 3018.6s] Yeah.
[ 3018.8s] 
[ 3029.3s] Yeah.
[ 3050.8s] In any circumstances, you are used to the Devein.
[ 3053.6s] 
[ 3053.6s] 
[ 3053.6s] 
[ 3053.6s] 
[ 3053.6s] Are you, essentially, designed to mustn't have prepared
[ 3053.9s] 
[ 3053.9s] 
[ 3053.9s] BckerI.
[ 3054.3s] 
[ 3054.3s] 
[ 3057.2s] very often,
[ 3058.0s] heto jus
[ 3073.3s] you get exhausted but
[ 3077.1s] but if you're just you're just gonna fuse right
[ 3088.0s] I mean it puts a lot of pressure on me because I have to predict when you're gonna go boom with that cabra
[ 3093.5s] you
[ 3116.5s] okay
[ 3126.2s] yeah this is this is we're kind of like at a stalemate right now I think
[ 3145.9s] okay this this lane is way too close
[ 3147.9s] 
[ 3147.9s] close to my hand it keeps to the way the to to adjust this because it like this card keeps on
[ 3162.5s] oh
[ 3164.8s] okay
[ 3185.4s] Sorry
[ 3193.5s] Ready?
[ 3200.2s] Ready?
[ 3204.7s] Viewer.
[ 3206.9s] I guess I have to decide if I want to ban or not.
[ 3209.6s] I'm not going to ban.
[ 3212.5s] Are you going to ban?
[ 3227.8s] No.
[ 3229.0s] It costs four AP.
[ 3232.7s] Well, I guess you can still type Renove, but...
[ 3236.9s] Or use Paimon, but...
[ 3281.6s] I guess I'm going to ban.
[ 3311.6s] I guess I'm going to ban.
[ 3328.4s] Uh-oh.
[ 3332.0s] Oh, no.
[ 3338.1s] Can I even respond to that?
[ 3340.9s] Not really.
[ 3354.6s] Um...
[ 3357.8s] Eight.
[ 3362.5s] Oh, sorry.
[ 3363.5s] I wasn't worried about the damage.
[ 3365.0s] I was just thinking if I could do anything.
[ 3374.0s] Yeah, I'll take that.
[ 3374.9s] Eight.
[ 3382.5s] Okay.
[ 3387.1s] You really don't like him?
[ 3392.9s] Okay.
[ 3393.5s] Okay.
[ 3395.9s] Okay.
[ 3396.9s] Okay.
[ 3401.3s] 
[ 3404.3s] 
[ 3404.3s] 
[ 3404.3s] 
[ 3404.9s] , you're just going to kill...
[ 3409.1s] You just killed...
[ 3414.4s] I mean, at least you took Corruption.
[ 3427.7s] Yeah, you heal with Viewer's ability.
[ 3429.5s] Okay.
[ 3431.2s] Okay.
[ 3436.3s] You healed the whole dude.
[ 3440.0s] 
[ 3440.0s] 
[ 3440.4s] Yeah, you're still healing with it for me.
[ 3443.0s] Yeah.
[ 3451.5s] Hopefully you heal...
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] 
[ 3452.2s] I see Cer č 걸 cіëșę There's a Saints пропski je.
[ 3454.3s] 
[ 3454.3s] 
[ 3454.3s] 
[ 3454.3s] 
[ 3454.3s] 
[ 3457.4s] And you were seeing me stress for three!
[ 3460.4s] My thoughts seemed really low days ago when out of work.
[ 3467.6s] I think I'll use Warden's Command to grab Renove.
[ 3477.4s] And I'll just play her here.
[ 3482.3s] And that's it.
[ 3513.9s] Wait.
[ 3550.5s] Ready?
[ 3554.5s] Vying.
[ 3564.5s] I'll be inviting.
[ 3587.9s] I'll be inviting.
[ 3588.3s] I'll be inviting.
[ 3604.8s] Well, you get to decide the order.
[ 3612.7s] You can probably guess what I'm up to.
[ 3619.0s] Okay.
[ 3622.7s] Hmm.
[ 3632.1s] Did he change this card?
[ 3633.7s] I'm just reading it.
[ 3641.8s] Yeah.
[ 3642.4s] Yeah.
[ 3649.6s] Sozystlin.
[ 3653.0s] Hmm?
[ 3658.6s] Am I allowed to use hein maker response
[ 3660.4s] to omnipotence?
[ 3665.8s] Right, OK.
[ 3668.8s] Oh, it's just gear actions I can't respond to, OK.
[ 3671.6s] Yeah.
[ 3679.6s] I need a lot of AP though
[ 3681.5s] to burst you.
[ 3688.2s] I'll fuse here.
[ 3692.6s] This is going to get risky, but I'm going to
[ 3696.2s] use Bloody Power.
[ 3719.5s] Do you...
[ 3720.4s] Okay, so if I use...
[ 3723.0s] Do you have to reveal which card first
[ 3724.5s] before I respond with a quick action?
[ 3728.1s] With Omnipotence?
[ 3730.8s] Okay, so I'd have to kind of guess
[ 3732.9s] what you're going to do.
[ 3739.6s] I guess I'll use
[ 3741.9s] Warden's Command on Paimon.
[ 3746.7s] And then
[ 3749.6s] it's your turn.
[ 3788.0s] Um...
[ 3794.4s] You can go ahead.
[ 3804.0s] No!
[ 3806.8s] I just can't predict what you're going to do.
[ 3813.1s] Well, that spoils my plans.
[ 3824.8s] We're kind of like neutralizing each other.
[ 3827.9s] I'm not doing anything.
[ 3835.9s] But Joe is to get theiente on hand and
[ 3843.7s] identify himself.
[ 3844.1s] 
[ 3844.1s] 
[ 3844.1s] 
[ 3844.1s] 
[ 3844.1s] it would be Bernadette.
[ 3855.6s] Thank you.
[ 3874.4s] 
[ 3926.3s] All right.
[ 3945.7s] This is getting very sweaty.
[ 3951.9s] Gosh.
[ 3953.8s] There's like three routes I can go.
[ 3955.8s] I don't know.
[ 3956.8s] They seem about evenly good for me.
[ 3963.9s] Yeah.
[ 3964.4s] I like that too.
[ 3988.5s] All right.
[ 3989.1s] 
[ 3995.2s] Are you normal?
[ 3996.1s] No, you're fast.
[ 3996.8s] Okay.
[ 4031.6s] All right.
[ 4064.8s] All right.
[ 4067.4s] All right.
[ 4084.4s] Going to exhaust.
[ 4106.6s] You're moving Asmodeus to the Amonley.
[ 4110.9s] All right.
[ 4111.9s] All right.
[ 4119.3s] All right.
[ 4122.1s] Okay.
[ 4125.6s] Oh, okay.
[ 4126.9s] Okay.
[ 4127.3s] That makes sense.
[ 4128.6s] I was confused.
[ 4137.3s] All right.
[ 4138.6s] All right.
[ 4154.2s] Effectively, I could still use
[ 4155.1s] A-Maker, but I don't think it's going to stop
[ 4157.1s] anything.
[ 4176.3s] What's five? This?
[ 4178.0s] Yeah.
[ 4180.5s] Yeah, if you kill that,
[ 4181.5s] you pretty much can win.
[ 4196.3s] Uh...
[ 4206.0s] Okay.
[ 4207.8s] Yeah, I guess I should have
[ 4209.0s] A-Maker'd.
[ 4212.1s] I wasn't
[ 4212.9s] thinking, but
[ 4214.4s] GG. I don't know if that still
[ 4217.0s] would have... Actually,
[ 4219.3s] yeah, I don't know if that would have...
[ 4221.1s] No, the game would still have been close
[ 4222.7s] if I did do something, but
[ 4225.3s] we've hit here.
[ 4232.2s] Yeah,
[ 4232.7s] before
[ 4233.6s] before
[ 4234.0s] before
[ 4234.4s] 
[ 4234.4s] 
[ 4234.4s] 
[ 4234.4s] 
[ 4234.4s] 
[ 4234.4s] these last two drafts,
[ 4235.8s] I always thought Pylon was kind of
[ 4237.8s] not useful, but I think
[ 4239.8s] if you can draft, like, yeah, like
[ 4241.7s] Baal, now it makes more
[ 4243.7s] sense to me. Before, I just, like, I didn't really
[ 4245.9s] get it.
[ 4254.2s] Yeah.
[ 4285.5s] Yeah.
[ 4286.1s] Yeah.
[ 4287.7s] Well, I spent so much AP not doing
[ 4289.8s] damage, just, like, stopping you.
[ 4292.2s] I don't think it really mattered because of that.
[ 4294.4s] 
[ 4301.1s] Well,
[ 4302.2s] well, I banned your high HP
[ 4304.0s] stuff because I was going to try to burst you
[ 4306.0s] with Botus, but
[ 4307.7s] that didn't work.
[ 4328.0s] So the way I drafted this time too was I drafted all the high HP guys
[ 4334.0s] that tried to stop you guys from getting them.
[ 4355.7s] I took these three out.
[ 4357.9s] I just feel like they don't.
[ 4359.7s] I don't like Phoenix anymore.
[ 4373.4s] Well, I think with my strategy, it doesn't really work anymore.
[ 4377.8s] But I don't know.
[ 4394.6s] Well, the purpose...
[ 4396.1s] Bonus is really meant more for David's deck.
[ 4401.6s] Because he has a lot of...
[ 4403.9s] I drafted Bonus for...
[ 4405.9s] Yeah, the shields, exactly.
[ 4407.3s] I don't have a way to deal shields, so that's why I drafted Bonus.
[ 4411.2s] Yeah.
[ 4425.6s] Yeah.
[ 4426.6s] Yeah.
[ 4433.6s] I should have just Haymakered Paimon.
[ 4438.7s] Because he's fused, so you can't reset him.
[ 4447.3s] Yeah.
[ 4452.5s] Yeah, that was fun.
[ 4455.7s] You too.
[ 4456.3s] Bye.
