What Would You Do? Week 2!

1/14/2018

It's time, once again, for 'What Would You Do?', with your host, Slimsch! Remember to comment saying what you think, and let us know what you would do were you in that position, whether it be in Discord, the Facebook comments, or the comments on here! Of course, you'll no doubt wish to check out the relevant videos in order to see whether your chosen course of action was taken. For your own posterity, the stream the still is taken from, as well as the time-stamp it is taken from, are provided (just don't be that guy and post what happens in the comments, obviously). Happy arguing!

Game 1: Jammies (Druid) vs. BlakeHall (Warlock)

Relevant Information:

Two Voidlords have died,along with 4 Voidwalkers.
The Rin Seal in hand is 'The Third Seal'.
Many Jade Cards have been played, though not the second Jade Idol; Skulking Geist would have immediate value.
Opponent has 5 cards in hand.

Game 2: Nate (Priest) vs. Cyclometh (Paladin)

Relevant Information:

The Paladin secret was just played. We have no information other than Righteous Protector being played last, Grimscale Chum being played first.
Blessing of Kings has not been played, so Kabal Songstealer could get future value.
Duskbreaker is not active; this is a Prince Keleseth deck so there is no chance of a Netherspite Historian.
Opponent has 1 card in hand.

in the first one, i would swing the 1/2 voidwalker into a 1/5, defile, skulking geist.

in the 2nd, i'd probably just swing both and tar creeper. that's probably wrong af tho.

In the first, same as lefty above.

In the second, I'd silence the righteous protector and swing the 3/3 into the tidecaller to check for redemption/kodo/get down, then swing the 5/4 into the 2/5 corridor creeper.

First one: 2/2 into 3/5 a voidwalker into a 1/5 then defile for a full clear. Follow that with giest on an empty board.

2nd same as Sage with the silence and test for Kodo/Redemption on caller.

The 1/3 voidwalker don’t attack with the 1/2.

Agree with what others have said above. In game 1, attack to setup a Defile clear, then drop Geist. That gives you a bunch of follow up options on the next turn with Lackey+Dark Pact, Seal development, Hellfire or Nether board clears, etc.

In the 2nd game, the Songstealer is good to get around the Protector, and taking out minions that turn creates a great follow-up the next turn to drop the Creepers and start snowballing the board against his 1 card in hand.

Scenario 1:
I think setting up defile is appropriate. Hit 1/2 voidwalker into a scarab and pact the now 1/1 walker into defile. Then geist as a follow up. Geist in turn is hard to kill for the druid, losing not only second idol but any spellstones that may have been hanging around and UI not clearing the geist either.

Scenario 2:
There's many scenarios to go thru, secret is the main issue though, so testing for what you can is appropriate. However i think songstealer on protector is the line to go with and then go for the hit on the tidecaller with duskbreaker. If noble you can clear with second minion, if kodo or redemption you clear creeper with acolyte. And if it was repentance you clear both tidecaller and creeper appropriately.

Scenario 1:
1/2 Voidwalker into 1/5 Scarab. Dark Pact 1/1 Voidwalker. Defile. Geist.

Scenario 2: Songstealer the Protector. 3/3 into 2/1 Chum to check for Sacrifice, Redemption, and Kodo. 5/4 into Tidecaller.
If the secret is repentance, Creeper and Tidecaller get traded into.
