Welcome, everyone, to another exciting game of BattleCON! I'm your mod, ActingPower, and today we've got two great combatants for you.

On the left side, we've got Cherri Seneca's soul walking the edge between dreams and reality. It's Lymn, being played by Andarel!

On the right side, we've got the short yet scrappy summoner with a thirst for power. It's Lesandra Machan, being played by Dire Wombat!

Give it your best shot, and we'll see who comes out as the victor!





Send me your starting Discards and your Finisher choice. Once I've got that, we can get started!

What is this ante wizardry? I is just dog.

(Less ante makes things easier for everyone I suppose...)

ActingPower

Yup. If both characters have antes, we have to do the whole back-and-forth thing. With just one, it's much easier all around.

In this world, there is no truth. The truth is made later on and overwrites what comes before it. Real truth doesn't exist anywhere.
I'll let Borneo take the hit, of course.

Burn two life to summon the wyvern.

My brain has never quite figured out a mental image for how Lymn actually fights. Throwing a sacrificial Borneo into the mix just makes things more confusing.

Lesandra, Lymn's where she was at the start of the Beat, and your attack is gonna miss. Where do you wanna be? (You can even stay right where you are if you want.)

Also, do you want to summon up a familiar?

If Lymn hits you, Lesandra, your price will decrease by 3. You have Blood 3, so that means anything. Which one would you like?

I'm on the cornermobile.

Will hit, I'd rather take a 3 for 3 trade than an 0 for 3 even if it maxes out her blood. Good call not summoning last turn, you were in a good space to limit what I could play even without threatening Window.
