Spawn Phase Mayhem

[Zxqueb]

Thinking about this list:

(Spawn Phase PUMP)
2x Chewbacca
1x birthday cake
2x dryad

(Spawn Phase Beats)
Thunder Sultan
Dervish
Ice Troll
2x Flame Harrower

(Support)
Fleshless reaper
2x samurai
Noble dragon

So the idea is to first get big spawn happening and get out Dervish, sultan, harrower and reaper. Keep reaper and harrower together and in a cell behind what you want DEAD at the beginning of the turn. For 8 spawn, you can jump the dervish in there, expel the target into the reaper (6 dice) and the harrower (5 dice) -- likely enough to kill anything... Then you still get to go!

I'm considering other permutations of this, like dropping the ice troll and a samurai in favor of an Horrid Poltergeist (expel/scare), and maybe another reaper.

Thoughts?

Not bad, needs more Chewbacca's and possibly a second cake. That gives you MASSIVE spawn points to pay for the abilities and get multiple guys out. And at the beginning, you need to drop the cakes in position so the Chewbaccas aren't terrible if you can get to the 2 cell and either 1 cell. That where they need to be in the early game drop. If you can mize into a drop into their 4 cell than it could rule. Spawn phase powers don't work on no spawns, so all the points could be wasted. Just remember to keep a healthy board first.

Just a second til lunch is over..... I think you need some cheap weiner pieces to spawn first to get your cakes into position in the middle scoring rows. This army won't pay dividends until about turn five-six, when dryads are out and the cakes are in position. Therefor I think more wieners are needed to tie up those first few rounds.

What time are you guys on VASSAL and what are your names. I play sometimes as MikeD. Let me know, it would be great to play over a 700mi. distance.

Chewbaccca's and Birthday cakes... Was there a big Dreamscape lingo convention this weekend I wasn't told about? Spontaneous slang. A sure sign of a good game....

The next time I will be able to get on is Thursday night between 6 and 8pm. If you can make it there, it would be fun to play a couple of games. I'm Zxqueb on there too.
