First game: I managed to play nova, chrysoara, cremation on the first turn, together with a pillar and a forest spirit. The second turn I played the flayer, and started growing the spirit. After a few turns I managed to play a second spirit, after another nova and chrysaora (which got a change to poison) + immolation. I drew both momentums for more damage, and just started chewing away his hp's while growing my spirits.
The turn after I (finally) got a steam machine, he managed to play his first vampire (he already had a nightfall and a stiletto hitting), but I lobo'd that vamp and the next one, and won after that.
Second game, I started with 2 immo's, 1 flayer, 2 steamies and 2 pillars. I played the flayer the second turn, drew a nova and played that too. The turn after I drew a forest spirit, and decided I didn't want to wait for a decent cremation target, so I cremated the first steamie, to allow the second one to grow. Mith was building quanta, so I feared he was up to something, most likely spamming a few vamps at the same time, or waiting for a cloak. I managed to screw that, because I drew a nova, and the turn after that, the discord, so I started to scramble his stocked up quanta. At that point he played a vampire, after I drew a momentum. When I finally had enough quanta to finish it, I drew the first Chrysaora (glad I didn't wait for it
)
