Thanks, both of you. Now I'm awake. I was too fixated on the Hazardous combo. You're right, Operative is a good model. I didn't realize that Terrifying didn't work, but considering that it also works against Serena Countenance, I see no reason not to include it. Also, I hadn't appreciated Corvis before, but the tanky model is very important in this match where Armor doesn't work. I'll give this guy a try next time. To my surprise, I'm looking forward to the next game with Dreamer. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd want to fight Dreamer!

I had Surveyor in because I wanted to try out the unresistable AoE with Union Buster and Field of Steel combo. I thought it would be easy to use, especially with so many models having regeneration this time around, but it was hard to get it to work on Incorporeal. However, it seems to work well against Champy and Yume, so I'll probably include one in the next matchup. You're right, Ingenuity seems to draw a few more cards, but I think I'd rather combine it with Surveyor than go for it every turn with Rifleman. Unfortunately, my Sovereign and Surveyor were taken out by Daydream. Instead of a regular Dreamer, Insomnia Dreamer can easily access high cards, so they in Df4 had their health cut in half by a focused Daydream blow. (I don't know the odds, but all the cards my opponents got on their first Drifting Off were J+). I forgot to mention that the hardest part was the remove actions of scheme markers by Chompy's Trail of Gore and Coppelius' Shifting Sands. I felt that the game was bugged when the models where I wanted to place the scheme markers the most were the easiest positions for my opponent to remove them. In any case, I should have taken more advantage of the mobility of Anya and Sovereign.

My List Anya Intrepid Emissary Sovereign Winston Austera Yannic Rifleman Surveyor Opponent' Dreamer Insomniac Lord Chompy Bits Coppelius Widow Weaver Lady Yume Insidious Madness Insidious Madness Daydream Daydream Strategy: Corrupted Ley Lines Scheme: Outflank Vendetta Research Mission Spread Them Out Breakthrough I picked Spread Them Out and Breakthrough, my opponent picked Research Mission and Spread Them Out. I gave up in mid of Turn4. in my estimation, VP should be 6 vs 7 if we will continue to play by Turn5. As you can see, it was trial game for both me (with package of Yannic and Rifleman) and opponent (Titled Dreamer and Yume) so I have several misses in that game. Points to consider - Sovereign charged to Dreamer on first turn but exited with half the enemy master's health down due to ton of armor ignoring attack. Furthermore, Stitched together was summoned from the scrap. - I forgot that Bleeding Edge is a gun action, so I lost the chance to use it twice! - Anya got bury in Turn2 by Yume's bonus action in Tomb 13, which she got by Drifting Off. - After Sovereign left the board, almost enemy models except Lord Chompy focused on getting VPs, and I was unable to interfere. - In early turn, the Surveyor was carrying token backwards to the Strategy Marker, so there was little opportunity to set up the Hazardous marker. - The Yannic and Rifleman gimmick was interesting, but while I was spending 12SS to draw a single card, my opponent is recycling his hand every turn. While I think these points can be worked around a bit better in the next matchup, I still feel like it will be difficult to win out. As Rufess said, it's important to focus on VP, but when my opponent also focuses on VP, it's hard to keep them from getting VP.

Thanks guys. It becomes crystal clear!

I'm sure this question has already been posted somewhere, but I couldn't find a clear answer. If a model takes interact action within 1" of another friendly model with lodestone, whether this model will be able to receive lodestone token or not? It feels like it's perceptible, but as far as the FAQ's "Another" ruling is concerned, it seems that the Another model doesn't include the model that performed the interact action.

I played Syndicate crew for the first time today against Dreamer and it was a hopeless match. Hazardous ignoring by Incorporeal, Scheme marker removing, Armor ignoring attacks all stung me and it was a tough game. I'm not used to Anya, and there were times when I couldn't use Bleeding Edge effectively, so I think I can play better next time, but I don't know if I can win. If you have any advice to play against Dreamer, please let me know.

Ohh. I missed out it. Thanks!

Thank you. As far as I can tell, the term "cancel" for condition only appears in the following rules. Pg.29 in PDF rule book. “A model can only have one instance of each Conditions at a time. If a Condition is cancelled by another Condition, both Conditions are immediately removed from the model in question.” From a non-native English speaker's point of view, the word remove, like end, seems to eliminate the condition itself, regardless of the value. This is why I was wondering, am I still correct in lowering the value?

Focus and Distracted now cancel each other out in Errata, but when you get Distracted+1 with Focus+2, does it behave as Focus+1, or does it lose Focus? My initial impression is that it's the former, but I'm not sure.

Thank you soooo much! I am so thrilled that you responded so quickly!

‪Hi,‬ ‪Would you be willing to make your podcast available on YouTube as well? YouTube's subtitling service can be a hearing aid for non-English speakers.

So far, I used Anna for counter unit against Tara and Dreamer to prevent their unbury effect within 6” inch Aura. However, Mar Errata says “ Add the following sentence: “If a model would be Unburied but cannot be because of an effect such as Laugh Off, Planted Roots, or Staggered, it may still be Unburied as above, ignoring such an effect.” This means, now Gravity well cannot obstract their pracement. Right?

Hmm. I can perceive you meant but not make sense logically. (Probably it is because I’m non native English speaker.) One more question, if Bushwhacker selects to be deployed with From the shadow, is it possible to place the pit trap marker after deployment? My points, Normally pit trap should be placed after deployment but Bushwhacker is not on the table at this timing. If can, Bushwhacker works his ability without in play.

Almost agree your comment but may I confirm the definition of "in play"? According to the sentence about bury, buried model is still considered as in play so I guess the model is not on the table is in play. Yes, models with From the shadow are not deployed when loadstone is attached but still hired. I am almost sure that the model with From the shadow cannot get the token but not crystal clear yet.

Hi, I would like to ask your thought whether the model with From the shadow have a lodestone token or not. I mean, the timing of lodestone token movement effect is "Before a model with Lodestone Token would be removed from the table" so I think movement effect will not occur since the model with From the Shadow is not on the table at the timing having lodestone token. I understand that From the shadow doesn't allow the Interact Action in first turn so not sure how effective the model with From the shadow have it.
