Combining the Flies and Bands spells is a one-two gut punch. Pretty cool! Looks well balanced to me.

[Tornado]

Yeah, I did not plan it that way but realized it would be fairly brutal.
I had really swingy dice.
Nemesis was slaying the first game.
He can be really scary against humans.
Hopefully Ronin can wrap this up.

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: Lord of the Flies @10 points

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Nemesis, Lord of the Flies @10, Dalek Drones x2 (555) vs Punisher, Scarlet Spider (Kaine), Robin (Dick) (555)

Spoiler Alert!

Lord of the Flies didn't get cast here, but it had indirect impact; Kaine got a couple OMs instead of Punisher early on, which ended up working out to Nemesis' advantage. He closed the gap and dropped Robin really quickly, and managed to heavily wound Punisher, denying him the chance to disengage and take potshots.

Kaine's auto-wounds dropped Nemesis, but not before a couple of the Daleks had moved up and exterminated Punisher. The Daleks won out in the final showdown with Kaine.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): 2 Dalek Drones, Lord of the Flies uncast

___________________________________________________________

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Doctor Doom (Sorcerer), Kristoff von Doom, Jason Voorhees, Lord of the Flies @10, Mystic Flames (650) vs Captain America (Steve), Bucky, Bloodshot, Angel (Warren) (650)

Spoiler Alert!

Lord of the Flies got cast by Doom in the first round, and prevented Bloodshot from going after Doom that turn. (He had to take what he could get and go after Kristoff, who was standing in between and blocking him from engaging Doom)

Doom ended up taking a bit too long to bring down Bloodshot, and the Soldiers ended up winning the day. Solid contribution from Lord of the Flies, though.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Captain America with 2 Life, Bucky with 1 Life, Angel with full Life

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Feels okay at 10 points - it can be played around, but forcing your opponent to play even 1 or 2 turns a little different is good for 10 points. I feel like it has potential to outearn its cost by quite a bit, but mainly against ranged multi-attack guys, and those guys can afford to take the hit. It's not a flashy, scary spell, but I think it's a really solid as a subtle utility thing.

Sweet. Thanks Ronin!
