I’ve found the plus flips vs Terrifying one of the best parts

I’m in Craig’s meta. It’s 100% a joke. He got beat by a MK 2 Raspy player consistently when he first started and now it’s a running joke.

Craig on “tilt” is pretty funny and it gets played into, kind of like George Carlin ranting about toy soldiers. It is just the normal “stuff that I’m getting beat by right now is OP” whining we almost all do when we first play against things and not real OP yelling.

I’ve only played them once but I don’t think gun lines would be particularly effective. They are very fast and heal back chip damage. 

Some kind of control elements seem like they’d be strong.

In this specific matchup, eating his alpha on some minions and counter-punching might work. Or set up an alpha on the model that is going for the Cursed Idol since you know there will be a model there?

How is Kang discarding 4 cards every time he activates? I can get to 2 (focus everyone and juggernaut ) consistently.

What else are you finding he discards cards doing consistently? (I know he has the slow/distracted protection.)

I’ve been thinking about running a couple of steam arachnids with M&SU particularly in Idols. 

Cheap wounds that just need to cover the board for a random drop might be alright. At least that’s my theory. Haven’t tried it yet.

He also has recorded some others both Arcanists and other factions.

It’ll just take time to get through it all. Ray and him have a lot of content planned.  (I’m thirsty for more podcast/deep review content too since I drive a fair amount with my commute).

I probably should work on some stuff for a transferring wargamer article.

@Franchute That’s hard to say exactly as I’ve been trying a couple of different things and feel like there is still so much depth to explore.

A couple of initial points while I’m on my phone:

1) I’ve loved Cerberus. I have run 2 for a few games and have enjoyed it. It leans even harder into the fast and killy style. The excellent defensive mutations (Butterfly jump/Nat Camo) keep them alive welland I’ve run my “super” Cerberus (soulstone cache) consistently after I realized the combo.

Super-C gets survival mutations (butterfly jump, stealth) and hunts things. He often lays down a scheme marker or scores outflank (my favorite scheme for Markus) in the early turns. I’ve hunted down Reva with him as well as consistently killing scheme runners. He uses a soulstone to choose masks (Onslaught trigger) which gives him a positive flip. Two 3 damage attacks kills a lot of runners and then you get your stone back. 

2) Primal Roar lets you get models on the close points without extra AP on a couple of deployments types.

I’ve played almost exclusively Marcus and 6 in Turf War. The combination of speed and kill potential has consistently let me score 3 Strat points.

What is it that you think Marcus needs in Arcanists?
