I'm not one to discuss strategy, but this

is such a cooooooool image!

*NecroBlade goes off to grab Theracus, X17, and a Cyprien stand-in and plays out this scene, "swoosh" and "clamp" sound effects and all*

That's just...cruel. My opponent could have used that strategy the last time I killed a full Life Mimring with Chill Touch, natural 20.

X-17 has never looked so cool, that is to cool, got to remember that one.

Nice thread, drafting is fun for the whole family

It's not cruel - it's justice. I've used this counter to Cyprien before, and it freaking pwns him. Necro - that's exactly what happened in the game i used him. Cyprien swooped down to take out my squad figures in the front, and Theracus immediately swooped in carrying X17 and totally wrecked Cyprien. No more Chilling Touch, no more 8 move, no more Stealth Flying, no more Cyprien.
