| I played in the WA Pre-Release today, there was 12 of us and it was really fun.
I played:
Storm,
Kolyarut,
Green Slaad,
Gnoll Priestess,
Trickster.
There was Solar,Pit Fiend,Fire Giant,2 Githyanki,Owl Bear,Succubus,War Hulk,Thundertusk.
Game 1: was vs the Pit Fiend, he played very defensively which let me eek out a win on VP's.
Game 2: was versus the Owl Bear band. He played fairly agreesively but through strategic use of silver fire,(this would become a theme throughout), I managed to kill his Owl Bear and the rest shortly followed. Win
Game 3: was versus the War Hulk warband. I was able to dispatch his Hulk very early which pretty much decided it right there. I was having a blast playing the slaad, that random spell is great. I noticed thorughout the tourney i rolled alot of conceal 11's though which unfortunately don't stack...conceal 22.. Win
Well we had agreed that we'd only go 4 rounds so it was down to the fire giant/hell cat band,(which had already beat the Solar but not by much) and at least one of the Gith bands, and me.
Game 4: He played very well screening with a hammerer and flanking with his hell cat. My error came when i let my Kolyarut,(who i had cast blindsight on) to deal with the hellcat get killed way too early. The Fire Giant was unstoppable, so nasty. Long story short it came down to him making his morale on his giant and finishing me off, good game and tournament though. There was 3 of us at 3-1 but it worked out where i came in 3rd, so i got 2 boosters. But i got another Kolyarut instead of the Vlaakith or another of the big baddies.
I have to say that in my opinion so far Storm seems like the best bang for the buck in the set. The trickster isn't as great as I expected as well though not bad either. I was very impressed with the Kolyarut who did very well for me for the most part.
On a side note I played a skirmish game with Epic Storm and Lillend,(I pulled Lillend out of one of my prize boosters and I have to say that I am downright disgusted with her. Putting her up within Range 6 is so risky plus the save is too low and 2 decent hits and she's done. Did we ever get a ruling on whether she can cast remove fear before the routing? | |

| I finished 2nd (also 3-1) at Lacey.
I had done pretty poorly (no wins) with decent pulls at the last two prereleases I attended (War Drums and Underdark). My first goal was to win on match. Which I did, even though Jason is the top ranked Limited player.  The rest was gravy.
I ran:
Thundertusk Cavalry
Air Genasi Swashbuckler
Dragonmarked Heir of Deneith
Orc Wizard
Harmonium Guard
Hammerer
Ethereal Maurader
Kobold Monk
on the Drow Outpost
Game 1: Jason (IuztheEvil)
Mezzoloth
Howler
Maug
Doomguard
2x Hammerer
2x Kobold Monk
We played on Drow Outpost. We converged on the bridge. I was able to knock out the Mezzoloth, Howler and monks. Fortunately for
me, his dice were ice cold, I only lost the Monk, Maurauder, Hammerer
and Harmonium Guard. Fortunately for me, his dice were ice cold. Maug hit once all game.
1-0
Game 2: Roy (?) Finished 1st
Fire Giant Forgepriest
Hellcat
Free League Ranger
Doomguard
Greenspawn Sneak
We played on the Drow Outpost. Fire Giant was too much. nuff said. As a side note, I did catch the Giant on the bridge and was able to have the Wizards use battering ram to push him over the pit...But he made his save on his next turn, by rolling a 5. D'oh.
1-1
Game 3: Van (vanrulzz?)
Owlbear Rager
Skeletal Reaper
Greenspawn Sneak
Elf Warmage
Dwarf Sniper
Mercy Killer
Phoera
Harmonium Guard
Again on the Drow Outpost. Won by elimination, though the Elf Warmage logged alot of "garbage time" points. Empowered Shocking Grasp is pretty mean.
2-1
Game 4: Don (?)
Solar
Gnome Trickster
Dragonmarked Heir of Deneith
Hero of Valhalla
Earth Element Gargoyle
Also on Drow Outpost. Tried to base the Solar fast. It came down to the last two inits. His Solar and Gnome Trickster against my Thundertusk, Hammerer, and Harmonium Guard.
He won the first, the gnome hit the flanked Thundertusk, but the Solar missed the flanked Thundertusk three times. Thundertusk hit the Solar once, Hammerer missed Gnome, Harmonium guard missed Solar.
I won the second, the Thundertusk hit the Solar twice and forced morale...1 or 2 and he runs... rolls a 2. I win on points.
3-1
Got three boosters, pulled Owlbear Rager, Pit Fiend, and a Hellcat.
