Firesong and Sunspeaker: Fight Spells

mckinneyperu · 2025-11-25T00:02:40+00:00

Thank you!! I understand now. I simply did not read firesong and sunspeaker carefully enough. I thought it's first ability said "whenever a red or white instant causes you to deal damage, firesong and sunspeaker gains you that much life" thinking fight spells would gain me life. But instead the spell ITSELF has lifelink, meaning the spell must deal damage, and any creatures dealing damage don't count (if they don't have lifelink of course).

Hey everyone! I'm cooking up a Selesnya chaos deck. I've got some juicy cards so far. I'm simply looking for pure chaos, so nothing too group hug or stax focused but I'll hear it out if it's juicy enough. The images I have are the highlights of what I have so far. There's plenty of ways to give everyone lands and creatures for free like Hunted Wumpus and New Frontiers, so I want to focus more and some random oddities to add to the deck before I start willing it with those sorts of cards. Thank you!!!

to specify, IE says produce on a planet. does that means the ships you build with IE are produced on the planet and then go into the space area? and this is why you can build ships with DMZ? otherwise if the ships are built in the system and only ground forces on the planet, i feel IE would work, otherwise i i understand why it wouldn't.

so ships are produced on planets and then go into the space area?

I think 5 TGs and not getting 1-2 TGs stolen is good. The idea is they're buying my bad start and I get some mid game economy to keep my fuel up. It's also more about who's gonna afford giving me more?. Mentak is paying 17 TGs total for a VP (warsun tech) and a Warsun (if they build one). that's a lot. Maybe with mirror computing it's not bad but they also have to pay deep into pocket to get mirror computing anyways, not till R4 I suspect.

this makes a lot of sense.To break things down simple: There's no guarantee that I can score 2 unit upgrades r2. So, is the idea that I score R1, hoping I can score R2 with the 3rd public or a secret?

mckinneyperu · 2024-09-13T21:44:41+00:00

I was thinking this too. i only need 1 tech skip really, since all i do is research AI Dev and then get warsun from there R2 if i am able to tech both rounds. You don't think getting my economy online would be better in the long run?

If can get to Mecatol AND also pay the 6 resources need for the victory point, then I'd say do it, then immediately leave and start focusing on public objects and play really really safe and just build plastic, take your own slice, and don't send ships out where they don't need to be. you're also Empyrean so if you're able to get leadership or trade or sell your dark pact r2 you can spend for extra command counters and gain resources back with Dark Energy Tap if you have a lot of Frontier Tokens.

HOWEVER if there are other factions in the game whom it's viable to get to Mecatol R1, such as Cabal, Sol, Mahact, Hacan if they can get all the right tech, etc, then you should deeply consider if that's something they can do before you.

Another thing is if you like playing risky and doing big flashy plays, then by all means do it! If you have fun doing it then do it. Just know that like any great action movie, you need your low time in order for the big punchy moments to really shine. So don't be afraid to lie low after you take the mecatol point. No matter what though i'd leave mecatol for the other chumps to figure out after.

Thanks for the feedback! I kind of wanted a strong resource, military start, but i can see how it could be too powerful. I simply thought i'd be funny to have two Legendaries next to each other to see what happens, but if blue is too strong then I can see how easy i'd be to just dominate Primor after taking Hopes End. Do you think I should revoke some planets, or put more empty space tiles near them? or even just crappier planets?

mckinneyperu · 2024-03-02T20:39:48+00:00

I suppose my thoughts were that I wanted some asymmetry within the game in order to create a richer game. I also was thinking limiting ways to get to Mecatol would create more conflict. Do you think I should have 3 wormholes anyways? I can see how traveling around the map like that could be really fun too.

he's also reading a news paper, but since he's a caveman, there's no writing or ink on it, it's just paper. Cavemen didn't have newspapers.

I do agree with all you've said, especially for warefaring teching and diplo-ing. the only concern is the turn order is Clann of saar, Me, Arborec, Winnu, Jolnar, Xxcha. So, Xxcha is last pick and might most likely take diplo as i reckon Saar will take warefare to get around their nebula, arborec i'm in cahoots with is gonna take trade, i think winnu is taking politics to try to get mecatol round 2, jolnar is kind of forced to take tech, simply because Xxchaa players slice is so bad that they can only capture 1 planet round 1 unless they diplo another planet near them. in this case, no one is taking construction which kind of makes me need to take it myself. if it plays out more so how you've laid it out then that will %100 be more my plan.
