Why I Hate Raelin

Now it may supprise some people to know that I had owned my copy of Rise of the Valkyrie for nearly two years before I ever used Raelin. I came to Heroscape after playing Magic for a long time (I had been playing Legacy format tournaments back when the format was still called 1.5), and in Magic (generally speaking) cards that do something to your oppenent to help you win are better than cards that just protect your stuff. So when I first got a look at her card, I knew there were better things I could to with 80pts.

Flash forward a year or so, and I get a call from a friend that I hadn't seen in a couple years. We talk, and eventually he says, "I'm playing this awsome new game. It's called Heroscape . . . ." So we get together and play some gamesj and he tells me about the website. I come on and lurk for about a year, and I see alot of love (and hate) for Raelin.

So eventually I try her out with some...

So National Heroscape Day has come and gone again. Unlike last year I actually had some company driving up, my brother (thebigbadbird) and I carpooled up with Wukieslap. None of us had really done as much preparation as we had planned, so we were all working out our armies on the drive. I knew I wanted to play Atlaga and Minions, but I wasn't sure about the remaining 200 points.

By the time we got there I'd settled on this as my primary army,

Atlaga
Minionsx2
Q10
Marro Warriors
Isamu

with this as my secondary (we had the option of switching armies after our second loss).

Anubians x4
Nilfheim
Dumuteff
Isamu


Round 1 vs. IHeroscapedYourMom
on Broken Skyline

I really liked seeing BS as my first map. I fealt confident that I'd be able to put Atlaga onto that central pillar and control the middle of the map without too much trouble. IHYM was playing Q10,...
