Anyone got a good counter for the Jolly+Faiez nightmare that happened last time? I’m wondering whether Boots + lots of support can grind them down.

Joukahainen? He’s a two in one, dispels and prevents further buffs.
Otherwise, there’s poor Mnesseus or Tyrum. Honestly can’t remember if there’s some other 3s amongst the ones i never pulled dispelling/preventing buffs

S1 wizards with Superior Jinx would work most of the time. Ulmer and cJahangir for example.

Also Felton for reflecting buffs and cKvasir to block.

Tyrum toon costume will be popular when it comes out. Agree Jouk is the best option, for those that have him.

I think I’m just going to stack mono red when I get drawn against Faiez tank + Jolly support. Might as well get it over and done with one way or the other!

How’s this defense look?

On offense I can do Zarola or Waqas for Shrub.

Should I switch someone for Faiez, Boots, Kvasir or Joukhainen ?

For Example: Tree, Dawn, Jolly, Faiez, Shru ?

I so need to Lb2 my faiez, but i only have 6 to 7 Alpha Aethers and want to save them for Gestalt.

Buster too.
And to be honest, plenty more that are great

Maybe Bauchan can slow them down a bit …


Hopefully two Treevils is enough.

Probably going with this on defense:

Still debating Waqas vs Boots, Shrubbear vs c Belith.

Expecting to see quite a few similar set ups, so am going to try the following against Jolly/Faiez/Shrub defenses:

Give me 7 red tiles or give me death, can’t be bothered watching the clock run out as happened to me last time.

Safely through day 1. Usual assortment of toons, swans & treevils, but so far haven’t pulled a Jolly/Faiez combo. Closest I came was Faiez/Helo combo, against which I stacked three red, managed to take out Faiez before he fired.

Good luck everyone!

3-2 today, very annoying and disastrous. When you get the opposite tiles for what you need, there is no hope.

Find myself switching attack teams a lot more in tournaments recently (Sign of a mature roster I guess). The left side stayed the same (Zarel - Jolly - Treevil) throughout. Joukahainen and Greel were the other 2 to start, but switched in Starswift for Greel a couple of times in a Rainbow.

Lost the second match against a Dawn tank. She just kept firing and her owls just stopped anyone getting mana. Zero point loss. Will have to use my Toons against her if I face her again tomorrow.

Thought myself lucky not to face any Treevil tanks in the first 4 matches. Then in the last match, the defense was…


Brought in the bear brothers tGan Ju and Shrubbear. Induced the tank to fire while Shrubby’s auto taunt was active. Got a nice number of Yellow and Green tiles to win without losing anyone.

Defense hasn’t been attacked yet.

Good luck everyone!

Did go this for defence

Day 2: when RNG don’t want you to win, you don’t win.

Three matches like that, unsurprisingly went 2-3 on offense. Didn’t mind losing to the Dawn team, she fired before Kvasir so never mind. But losing two winnable (easy!) games before you can fire a special simply because you can’t get 7 tiles in a useful colour is annoying.

Only 4 Treevils faced today, 2 in one match. The diversity in defense is certainly an improvement in my opinion.

Similar attack teams as yesterday Zarel - Jolly - Treevil - Joukahainen/tGan Ju - Helo/Kvasir. Brought in Helo as a secondary healer + cleanser against Treevil and Waqas. Kvasir was in once for a Dawn flank. Some defenses above 4000TP today, mainly because of Toons and their bonuses. But none where I felt like I would get in trouble if I don’t get a good board to start, so a pretty easy 5 wins today.

Defense was 1-0 on Day 1 and up to 3-0 today.
