I'm a Teapot!

In my experience some players might wanna start with complex masters because the simple ones dont fit their general playstyle. I started with Tara because i loved the theme of a Time manipulating master and i have to say i got crushed super hard in my first few games (knowing nothing about card mechanics or the potential of focusing with a 2/4/7 dmg track). So a starting guide to those more complex masters is a good thing in my opinion. Maybe an added section about key things to keep in mind when playing Tara or Misaki as a last section is more important for those master as it would be for the Freikorps. If I was forced to play Von Schill or Viks to start Outcast, i'd skip the faction because i just dont like the simple beatstick crew. So thanks for the blog! I can only say if u wanna start Tara or Misaki cause u like their flair - Do it! Even if it has a rough start, it doesnt get bore with them =) (Both Masters have so much Potential) + Misaki in Outcasts is underrated. It might be worse in case of a cruise missile build than in TT but it has much more potential in some other aproaches. (Hand pressure, survivability, certain combos) Misaki and Tara just have different playstyle option in their different Factions. Explore those Playstyles, pick ur favourite and enjoy them.

if u have 2 other upgrades to discard.. The question is more like: Do you wanna spend stalking bisento or disguised for the third RT?

Nice to hear! Especially since he is only 10 bucks =)

Thanks for the answers! =) I didnt really think about the secound way of forcing enemies to spend their hand before - nice advice, that changes the option by a fair bit! So in case of terrifying i dont own desolation engine or ashes and dust. But I have a killjoy and thaught about using him but that would always come with a kind unignorable risk for my crew unless id go full disguised with misakis upgrade disguised aswell.. But then id give away some of her killing potential and therefore hand pressure aswell because stalking bisento gives her another ap to atk. Pride's song seems very interesting for that kind of crew, even tho the cheating tax would be kind of wasted, like you said. And i had a chat with a friend of mine who was interested in splitbuying the crossroads7 box anyways. =) I've considered the emissary, because it just sounds pretty fun to get free ap with misaki if u set it up the right way. But what i didnt see was his actions for discard or slow (my mind was kind of stuck with the shadow emissary when thinking about misaki, dont know why) - also it would kinda fit the playstyle to buff the crew with trinkets and then follow misaki for the free ap and a 2 person flank while montresor and the rest of the crew try to get enemy models involved in combat. Didnt hear a lot about sue before, is he worth his points in general? His anti totem atk seems powerfull against some masters.

Hi =), I'm kind of new to malifaux (just a few months) so i thaught i could ask for some opinions and advice =) So, could misaki work with some hand eating outcast guys? I was thinking about using Hans with 2 shots at the enemy master, montresor with his new upgrade and maybe some of the crossroad7s for some decent hand pressure. Ama no zako should have a similar effect i guess. When i read about outcast misaki it was basicly always about TT offering more [+], focus... and outcast misaki being more durable but not viable due to her low weak dmg. So i thaught about a way to overcome her low weak dmg and what outcast misaki could do better then her TT version. With a full crew of hand eating fellows and assassinate, the weak dmg would be less of a disadvantage. Also, other then yamaziko (who can join her outcast crew aswell) and misdirection, TT doesnt have that many ways of making the enemy discard cards. Do you think this could work? Do the upgrades for Hans and Montresor make them playable for this kind of playstyle? Are there other ways to discard the enemy hand in outcast or any mercs? Maybe just for certain scenarios or against some very card dependant masters this might be worth a try at least? (I'd really love to make this work) Thanks =)
