had a match versus a hunter. He passed turn 1 and I coined Prince 2 on my 1. He goes "Well played" and then conceded.

So i finally drafted a mage deck with frost lich jaina

It's 4-0 right now. Not only does it have frost lich but it has full on elemental synergy. The only thing it doesn't have is a bonemare. But I mean when it has the DK, Flamestrike, Blizzard, multiple good elementals, strong early game, double poly, etc I can overlook some stuff.

6. Your Lie in April
https://myanimelist.net/anime/23273/Shigatsu_wa_Kimi_no_Uso

Your Lie in April is a melodrama about Kousei, a young boy who was once renowned to be a prodigy at the piano, but various circumstances have made it so he won't play anymore. Having given up what was his passion he happens to meet Kaori, a young violinist whose determination and constant pushing is what might just get him back on track.

This is a very emotionally charged show so simply reading a short write up about it is not going to convey what makes it great. It has things and turns in it that might seem unreasonable, drawn out, pointless at times, but it does so in like a reflection of a characters feelings. Seeing the changes in the characters because of either their own private circumstances or due to other characters is extremely well done. The two main characters themselves work very well together. The overall parallels they use for the characters in relation to the story might be a little heavy handed, but not the worst offense in the world.

The story is not as much about Kousei getting back the playing piano, it's more like he's getting back to living his life. There is a ton of character development and change for the main cast as new challenges await them. The show makes some of these things seem larger than life, but a lot of the material that is presented in the show are things that are not common within a lot of anime.

In terms of animation, music, artwork, this show is beautiful in all aspects. The OP is among the best I've ever seen.

Your Lie in April, over the course of its run, has some of the most heart wrenching scenes and events but consistent moments of youthful wonder all packed into one show. A must watch.

7. One Punch Man
https://myanimelist.net/anime/30276/One_Punch_Man

What is it like to be the strongest alive? Saitama knows this and he will tell you, it's fucking boring. His workout regiment of doing 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and running 10KM would air conditioning for any of it has made him into some sort of super human. Because of his power he becomes a "hero for fun". But how much fun can he really have?

It would be an understatement to say how hyped OPM was. And for the most part it delivered, unlike some other shows like SAO where people got on the hype train for it OPM is generally very well received throughout all the anime community. There's not much to the story, Saitama is super powerful and often times after a bunch of the other heroes struggle against a villain he defeats the bad guy with ONEEE PAWNCHHH. You would think that a character being so overpowered would make the show boring, but it doesn't. In reality, besides the witty writing and overall comedic effect everything has, the whole premise of OPM is almost like an inside joke that everyone is in on. It's like you know what's coming, and when it does you go to yourself "that's great."

Saitama himself is also simple, his design is purposely kinda lame to reflect his whole attitude. Genos, who is a an Android, knows how great Saitama is and struggles to understand why he's content with his current position as a hero. There's not really a lot of character building, but the characters it has are fun and memorable due to either designs or how they interact with others, mainly with Saitama.

Of course, all of this doesn't matter if the fights are not good. They are. Great even. Best on this list even? Like the battles with Saitama in them are incredibly one sided but they are animated and presented so wonderfully it doesn't seem to matter. The ones without him though have just about all the tension you'd expect from a typical show.

Despite how good OPM is, it's certainly better if you've seen other shows like DBZ and HxH. But in general, I think what OPM is going for his accessible enough for a general viewer.

It's all over my facebook and I don't even have a very large number of friends compared to some people (on facebook). I don't really have a lot of close ties anymore since I've moved around so much so I can't even talk about the "validity" of each person using the hashtag.

On one hand I don't want to make light of sexual abuse or harassment. On the other something like this somehow seems a lot less authentic for some reason than it should be. Mainly because the scope of what it could mean for each person is just so vast. The message of what it wants to do is clear, but I can't help but think some people might be bandwagoning on. Not saying not for a good cause or even for good reasons, but in a sense it's like someone who uses the tag because of being sexually abused and someone using the same one because some guy said they looked like a stripper seems like not equal things. Again, not saying that either of these things should be allowed to happen, but maybe like the issue is too big for hashtags.

Well, I said I would keep March Comes in Like a Lion S2 on a short leash, and the leash just shortened even more. Opened up with one of the worst possible episodes it could have. Heavy focus on shogi players who aren't relevant to Rei's growth, as well as a heavy focus on comedy and Rei's bonding with bit characters, all as a means to show a small bit of development that could've been expressed in a much shorter and more satisfying way. Though I guess we actually did see character growth, which happened so little in the latter half of S1, so I guess it is showing some sign of reform.

I'll give it one more episode, but damn, it sucks to see what could've been a masterpiece devolve into such a sorry state.

I didnt even pick it up. Like, I didnt even think the first season was that good. The show has almost no focus at all and when it does it does so in some of the most unsatisfying ways possible. Rei is not even the most interesting character in the show.

8. Erased
https://myanimelist.net/anime/31043/Boku_dake_ga_Inai_Machi

Erased is among the more high profile shows on this list. It's about Satoru who finds himself in his body from 18 years ago as he tries to undo tragic events that happened in his time line. With his foresight he plans ways to protect Kayo, a young girl who he never paid much attention to. However, despite his knowledge he still has the body of a kid.

The primary strength of the anime imo is that it has some of the best singular moments on this list. IMO it's rare that a show is going to give you a genuine emotion and at the same time do it consistently and several different types. This excels in that area. There's a show that aired just last season called Clione no Akari that tried to do similar things in terms of emotional impact but they just do it poorly. It's hard to really explain without you having seen both shows but best I can tell you is that besides that based on a production standpoint Clione no Akari is just complete shit Erased gives you plenty of reason to be emotionally connected. For the most part it takes great care in the handling of the progression. It has a couple of the best scenes in the entire list.

Kayo fills a unique role within anime. Rare is a character in a show that you feel a wanting to protect and that's really it. The circumstances of her life and the emotion you see on her face when you try to pull her from it are strikingly powerful. At the same time Satoru is a decent main male lead, albeit somewhat predictable overall. The anime is not only the characters changing, but how the changing outlook on the future changes them.

The elephant in the room is the ending and that's why it's number 8 on this list and not in the top 3 (although we are splitting hairs around now). Personally I thought the ending was fine, in a similar way that the ending of Charlotte was "fine"). It's more like I'm not really sure what else they could do to give the show some sense of closure for at least some of the characters.

Erased was a terrific anime. Probably a must watch.

9. World Conquest Zvezda Plot
https://myanimelist.net/anime/20973/Sekai_Seifuku__Bouryaku_no_Zvezda

World Conquest is a comedy anime about a loli named Kate who wants to take over the world. she leads a small group called Zvezda as they work together to achieve their goals and come across some rather unlikely situations in the process. Why do they follow her? It's because she possesses a very unique power of persuasion.

If you're looking for a show with a colorful cast this is a great choice. It has some of the most "anime" characters on this list. None of the characters are particularly strong in the sense of being like a top tier pick if I did a character list but each one fills in a different spot to add personality to the show. The anime does a good job at using each of the characters different traits to bring out more comedy. I personally like Kate and also Roboko (but more so because of the OVA). There is also a "bad" or "good" guy group depending on how you look at it called White Light. The whole set up makes the show have a feel similar to Yatterman (but probably closer to the loosely related sequel Yatterman Night).

Another strength is the comedy happens in both forms of running gags and in episode long set ups where things come to a boiling point. Some parts for the comedy and story elements takes almost the entire season for the payoff, and even though you know it's going to happen doesn't make it any less glorious. Each episode basically has a self contained story and parts of it add to the seasonal story and gives some minor character development.

The show really shines through a few very strong episodes, especially the hot springs and smoking ones. It also has one of the best overall finales as it gives senses of closure. I think that they really mixed all the aspects that made the show enjoyable very well in the final episode.

World Conquest is a wonderful anime for those looking to try something different. May the light of Zvezda shine throughout this world.

I have a good warlock deck at 6 wins. My 6-1 game versus another warlock is like we're going back and forth and im biding time to set up some bigger threats and I have death wing. Well like a couple turns before the other guy uses renounce darkness and a little later he's top decking and I have a two turn lethal. The following happens.

1. Spikeridge stopping me from pushing in
2. Top decks equality killing deathwing
3. Top decks Light fused stega AND rolls poison (+ attack would also win him the game).

Basically he drew the three perfect cards in a row and got a bonus luck effect at the end.

It's time for the first week anime rankings. (UQ Holder Starts the week)

1. The Magician's Bride
-I was very impressed by this. I thought the mood of the show was spot on. Like I think it really portrayed the point of view of Chise very well too. Really excited for this to continue.

2. Girls' Last Tour
-Oh my god those faces.

3. Children of the Whales
-In this case I think they built up decent intrigue for a potential future great. It's too bad netflix picked this one up.

4. Houseki no Kuni (TV)
-I think aesthetically this one has some stuff going for it. I also think out of all the shows that aired in the first week it established the main characters the best.

5. Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World-
-I was kind of on the fence at first, and despite the kind of obvious progression the packaged story was satisfying.

6. Netojuu no Susume
-I thought this started a good balance of like actual in game stuff and how the irl girl reacted to things and such. Good comedy too.

7. Food Wars S3
-A pretty good episode to start the third season. No cooking yet so like it's not up there yet.

8. Animegataris
-That rich girl puts me to shame.

9. Blend S
-You know, for something that exists in like real life... I'm surprise I don't know another show that has a similar premise.

10. UQ Holder!
-Almost didn't pick this up, but I liked the first episode. Is this going to be the fan service anime this season?

11. Konohana Kitan
-Man this show is cute. I also really liked this anime. In fact, I think all the titles from like 1 to 11 are relatively close to each other and the second episode is probably going to change a lot of spots.

12. The iDOLM@STER SideM
-Started kind of slow, but closer to the end I think it started to feel more like what I'd expect from idolmaster.

13. Just Because!
-Some of this seemed kind of pointless, but there was something about the baseball part that kept this up for me.

14. Juuni Taisen
-That animation at the very start was great. Hopefully this gets some more substance.

15. Black Clover (TV)
-Looks like a typical shounen although overall I thought this was good. However, the main characters screaming all the time was annoying, not really because of the screaming but because the actual voice sounds I dont know... almost fake?

DROP LINE
16. Two Car
-Just kind of boring. A soft drop as this was kind of borderline.

17. Code:Realize
-There was this show Amnesia... this reminds me of that somehow. I dropped Amnesia, and I heard that show was awful.

18. A Sister's All You Need
-You know, there's a point where even I get incredible annoyed at like the lamest budget savers in anime. If the show was that girl doing a lot of sex jokes it would be better (and also a different show).

19. Urahara
-Not really sure what was going on. At some points I thought the animation and such was pretty unique and in some spots almost good, but in a lot it's so bad.

20. Ousama Game
-Well this is a train wreck.

21. Sengoku Night Blood
-I was thinking "this is not that bad" but when the guy at the end of the episode said he was a vampire I was like "NOPE." like aren't we over this?

22. Dynamic Chord
-I thought the opening song was pretty good and was like, maybe this doesn't suck. But then it goes right into another song. It was like a series of bad anime music videos. Why.

23. Tsukipro The Animation
-To be honest, this probably is not as bad as Dynamic Chord, but this was dropped the fastest as it did that lame character sheet intro. Some of them before the character said more than 3 words.

What. It completely matters. UI is why druids can ramp like 3 of 5 turns until UI because it gives them board presence, armor, and probably most importantly all the cards they used back. UI is a card that probably should have been printed after jade rotated out.

10. Kill la Kill
https://myanimelist.net/anime/18679/Kill_la_Kill

It's somewhat difficult to fully explain what Kill la Kill is. The anime almost plays out like some sort of fan fiction complete with a tremendous amount of fan service, clothes being ripped apart, over the top fights, a like elite 4, school outfits literally called "goku uniforms", and the complete overuse and crushing of several anime tropes. The show is self aware of what its doing and the fan should be too so this is clearly something that is more for a seasoned veteran rather than a newbie.

The initial story is our main heroine, Ryuuko Matoi, is seeking out the other half of a giant scissor that belonged to her father as she's looking for clues into his death Armed with the one she has she challenges the school, but when she finds her power is not quite enough she eventually stumbles upon Senketsu, a school uniform that gives the wearer extraordinary abilities. Of course the story evolves as more is revealed and it gets weird at times. It just keeps getting bigger and more extreme. If you think that the anime is going to slow down and is out of twists, you are wrong.

The cast for the most part is small in terms of characters who are important and I'm really only going to talk about two of them. The first is Ryuuko who I think most everyone who watches the show likes. She has a type of tomboyish attitude, is brash, and generally takes things to extreme levels. She is also subject to a massive amount of fan service. The other is Mako. Mako is one of the more polarizing characters in the anime where she is basically a comic relief character in a show that is pretty much almost all high tension type comedy. She's very energetic so it should be fairly obvious I enjoy her. What's more is that you can genuinely see she cares for Ryuuko as a friend.

The fight scenes are great, some of the most exciting ones that are going to be on the list. The animation in general is impressive and the art style distinct. Like the way the show moves too is almost as chaotic as the story progression. Not always the cleanest thing, but it really catches your attention and makes you want to watch. The soundtrack is somewhat limited but just about every track that plays in it is a hit.

If you were a fan of anime like TTGL and have a decent anime resume behind you Kill la Kill is a must watch.

11. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next
https://myanimelist.net/anime/14967/Boku_wa_Tomodachi_ga_Sukunai_Next

The second season of Haganai continues to follow the neighbors club, a group of students who got together in order to make friends. Each of the members has some weird quirk that makes them hard to get along with other people, although to be fair, to most people looking from the outside a lot of them are more endearing than anything.

Despite the fact I really liked the first season the step of the second one has was surprising to even me. But the level of engagement each character has with each other, the way their dynamic change in situations, and just how they mixed in the drama and the main sources of comedy together created a very seamless show. While a lot of the episodes are fairly standard comedy fair they have some minor story and character stuff built in but nothing too major.

The overall cast is very strong. Both Sena and Rika are very high up my overall character rankings. I guess Maria still kinda sucks, but she spends a lot of her time with her sister (cousin?) and Kobato. Like again each character has some weird thing that makes it hard to get a long with people. Rika is a huge pervert, but to the point where it probably makes people uncomfortable. Sena is more or less a tsundere but much more stuck up than a typical one. Yozora is manipulative, Kobato is a chuuni, Maria whines a lot, and Yukimura is well lol. Then we have fucking Kodoka who people are scared of because of his hair. I mean come on now. But it's more that he struggles to get close to other. In fact, one of the things the show does very well with the characters is showing why each of them struggles with other people in areas much more relateable to a normal person.

Of course some stuff had to bring it over the edge. It has a some very standout scenes, but most notably the roof top one at the end of the season. In terms of the impact, tension, emotional impact it has, especially for a show that is primarily a comedy. Enough great moments often lead to great shows so it should not be a surprise that the remaining list is going to be packed with them.

Haganai is an excellent show. It has the main shell of a "high school cub" anime but uses its cast very well. The production value is high and in general is fairly accessible anime.

12. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san
https://myanimelist.net/anime/11785/Haiyore_Nyaruko-san

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san is a parody comedy anime about Mahiro, a normal boy who gets saved by a girl who calls herself a Nyarlathotep or the crawling chaos. However, despite being incredibly impressed by her heroics it so happens that Nyaruko falls in love in Mahiro, much to his annoyance.

If you know the character types I tend to like it should come to surprise that the high energy Nyaruko is among my favorites. She is by far among the most aggressive characters in terms of searching for some love from the main male character. However, unlike a lot of harems, Mahiro (who is a tsundere) basically has none of it. In fact, we actually don't see that much of him like reciprocating anything and it takes the entire season for him to admit he actually likes the rest of the cast which also include Kuuko (a girl who is in love with Nyaruko) and Hasuta (a trap).

Being a parody anime the show is packed with references, I'm actually hard pressed to think of a show that packs more in. It's almost certainly the winner in that regard for this list. Some of the references are to like stuff that is considered ancient or even obscure too. While in this case I would say you can fully enjoy the show without knowing any of them (although a few of them are from very mainstream things) it does give a little extra fun to it.

The actual show is set up where it sounds like something very important or serious is happening but they just turn it into some sort of joke (often to the annoyance of Mahiro) and Nyaruko and gang saves the day. It does take some liberties in what it does because its a parody anime that is not meant to be taken seriously by anyone and for the most part they do a really good job at it.

In terms of pure entertainment Nyaruko-san is a hard show to beat. It doesn't really have enough to pull it into the top 10 for this list but in forms of zany comedy this is among the best.

13. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
https://myanimelist.net/anime/12445/Tasogare_Otome_x_Amnesia

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is a romantic comedy with some mystery and horror type elements mixed in. Teiichi is a member of a paranormal investigation club at his school where they look to find the secret of many of the schools legends (something that like every high school in Japan has apparently) however, the school has a history... one that is going to haunt Teiichi... or more like hug him because its the ghost Yuuko who is hoping the club can find information on how she died.

As a romance this is a terrific anime. There is not that much in the way of like relationship push and pull and even the introduction to a love rival doesn't really mean that much, it's more watching a progression of two characters who enjoy each other falling for each other. The only real weird thing is that the girl is a ghost. But the dynamic as well as the story manages to create a lot of different emotions for the viewer depending on the many angles they are taking the scene, and being a show that has such a weird combination of genres it can do this in stride. So it's not the like slow burn type heartthrob love story, but it's still pretty good.

As for the story itself it's mainly about uncovering Yuuko's past. It has some other side things too but a big part of the show is not only what they uncover, but their reactions to it. As we learn more about the history of the school and what happened before the show starts to capitalize on its more horror like elements a bit more. It's not a scary show, but one that manages to use atmosphere well to set a mood of like spookiness.

But the star of the show is Yuuko. She is a ghost, she's hot, and she's a massive troll. Almost always fun to watch. The rest of the characters kind of blend in to be honest which is the primary reason this anime is not much higher up the list. I say that but this is like number 13 so we're in great territory here.

Despite having a somewhat weak first episode (it was a borderline episode 1 drop for me) Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is an excellent show which also has some good production values and among the best female leads on this list. It's a well balanced show that uses its unique genre combinations well.

I have no issue with needing to memorize cards you and your opponent plays. I do have issues with like

"Oh this guy has kept card 2 in his hand since the second turn and the 5th card in his hand since he drew it. It's turn 9 now, so I'm guessing card 2 is this and that based on what he's played that 5th card in his hand is something else."

That's not something that should be part of the game.

I'm not complaining, I'm doing the opposite. I'm commending an area where more skilled players will more often succeed. just because you're bad at hand tracking doesn't mean it should be removed from the game to allow you to play evenly against people with better hand tracking skills than you.

Im not bad at hand tracking. I still think it should be removed.

You are complaining about the lack of things that require actual skill in the game.

hand tracking is one of the few elements in the game that is purely skilled based and gives better players an edge over worse players. and you want to remove it...

The skill in hand tracking is not actually related to playing cards. The only thing that should be information is how many cards your opponent muliganed. When I win I want to win by like being the better player not because I had better memorization skills than the other guy. If you're complaining about the lack of things in hearthstone that require skill, you're like 3 years late to the party.

14. Is This a Zombie? Of the Dead
https://myanimelist.net/anime/10790/Kore_wa_Zombie_Desu_ka_of_the_Dead

Ayumu Aikawa has been killed by a serial killer but was revived as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe. Now he lives at home with a bunch of crazy girls. In the second season you can expect many of the same comedic antics from the first one.

Is this a Zombie is an ecchi harem comedy series. To this day it's among the funniest shows I've ever seen in terms of pure comedy I put it up there with the likes of FMPF, Nichijou, and Milky Holmes S2. While the story is not that impressive it does exist meaning it's not a skit show. The comedy typically comes in the form of running gags (ie that's not a kick). Also from pretty dumb (but funny) situations like the cafe episode.

The cast is really fun. Ayumu is a helpful person who has a crush on Eucliwood, and he wants to help the people living with him, but also can get visibly annoyed with their antics. Eucliwood rarely speaks (story reasons) and normally her only lines in an episode is through one of Ayumu's fantasies (one of many running gags) she is voiced by a different person each episode. There is also Haruna, a magical girl who uses a chainsaw instead of a wand.

Zombie is not really groundbreaking in the comedy department but remains to be among the funniest shows that have aired in recent memory.

I don't think handtracking should be a thing you should have to do in the game.

You kinda have to though with all the discover and tutor effects

No. The game should just tell you something was generated in the hand. I've had issues with hand tracking and visible muligans (although this less so) as I often find them to be against the spirit of the game.

They should make hand tracking a thing that's not possible to do.

That's really high considering the ridiculously goofy ending.

AFAIK that happens like at the end of each book in the series.

15. Rokka no Yuusha
https://myanimelist.net/anime/28497/Rokka_no_Yuusha

If there was a surprising show of 2015 it was this one. Originally set up like an action show it turns into a type of whodunit mystery with one of the more eclectic casts so far. The story is about the demon gods return and as legend tells six warriors called the braves of the six flowers must journey to defeat him. However, a seventh brave appears so one of them is a fake.

As far as mystery shows go, Rokka no Yuusha is one of the better ones. It's a story of changing alliances and the likely culprit changes just as often. In fact, a good portion of the cast actually have enough motive to be the fake which is something that keeps it interesting. It doesn't always have the cleanest transitions, but it does a good job at creating doubt.

The cast consists of, to like no surprise, 7 central characters as they try to find the fake and also maintain their own innocence. While not all of them have an equal stake it does feature a couple of decent characters, primarily Adlet Mayer and waifu candidate Fremy Speeddraw. Adlet himself is among the prime candidates to be the 7th and basically takes the role as the outsider or unknown of the group. Fremy is basically a emo girl that has some great hair.

Animation wise the art is pretty good but the actual animation is kind of lacking in spots. It's clear that if they wanted to make an action show that they would have struggled a bit to do so. In any case Rokka no Yuusha sold extremely poorly meaning that it's never going to get a second season despite having enough content to make this into a long running show.

mage arena

actually I don't know why I started an arena run. I havn't drafted a death knight in like maybe 30 runs and see one like every three games. If I get to like 6 wins I see one basically every game after that. If it's not that then I see decks with multiple bonemares (another card that despite being a common never get offered)

However matches included an 0-2 where the Paladin played the following cards: Righteous Protector (2), Tar Creeper, True Silver, TARIM, Sprikerdige, Bonemare, Consecration. This is a fucking deck that should get 7 wins on a bad day and i'm facing him at 0-2.

Games today

1. Priest vs Jade Druid
-Raza and Anduin are the bottom 10 cards in my deck (Raza was bottom 3, I didn't draw it). I actually could have won if I drew Raza first.

2. Priest vs Priest
-Both Raza and Anduin are bottom 10 cards (drew neither of them).

3. Preist versus priest
-The other priest gets his combo out 7 turns before I did. Yes, that means I lived for 7 turns when he had a 0 mana hero power.

4. Rogue versus Rogue (NOT A KELESETH)
-Was like WTF when he played Corpse Flower. But eventually won.

5. Rogue versus Druid (jade)
-Patches in the opening hand.

6. Rogue versus Druid (jade)
-Just drew poorly. Loss

7. Rogue versus Preist
-Manage to win before he can pull combo. Worth to note that he conceded on his 8 mana turn with Raza already played, if he played shadowreaper I would have lost.

8. Rogue versus Priest
-Played prince on 2. Won on turn 7.

9. Rogue versus Mage (control)
-Played prince on 2. Drew two shadowsteps. Eventually drew a pirate that was not patches.

10. Rogue versus Druid (aggro)
-Drew patches on turn 1. Actually split the difference and kept a backstab in case it was aggro (it's like 60% jade 40% aggro right now). However drawing patches is awful. However, I mean the druid played the cute penguin and conceded after he played it... so maybe it was beast druid? I don't know.

11. Rogue versus Priest
-Again, drew a turn 1 patches. The priest basically had perfect answers the entire game.

12. Versus the same Priest
-I didn't draw patches on turn 1. I draw him on turn 2 >.>

13. Versus Druid (aggro)
-Druid has double mana and double mark of the lotus in his first 10 cards.

14. Versus Priest (big)
-Lol big priest trying to beat rogue. It didn't even matter that I drew patches on turn 2.

Again, whenever I add more card draw because I can't find combo pieces my actual draw luck gets worse. The only matches where I've had both is when I've had them in my opening hand.

Just had an incredible match. I was versus a armor gain deadlans nozoth warrior and Im like okay hes getting a lot of armor. So Im saving resources for a huge burst when I get raza but he uses Geist and kills like 4 cards in my hand

I thought it was hopeless because he had like 100 health but glimmerrooted into deadmans and I eventually used it to shuffle back a. Velen and mind blast among other cards. Then after he used his removal up and dropped Lyra and had it stick around for a while

But Lyra died eventually but now before she got eternal servitude and resummoned velen and it lived so I played a second velen with a radiant and a mind blast for like 50 damage (could have done more but didnt need to )

It was a match where he used nozoth 3 times
