Zombie Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Hello, just a quick question as I'm pondering what crew to get next and I'm trying to decide between McMourning and Somer. Basically I like the idea of the summoning spam of Somer but I'm bit afraid of how many bayuou gremlins I'll be needing? Would 8 be more than enough or will there be situations where I need even more ? Quote
wizuriel Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I run with 8, never needed more (but I don't just spam the summon either) Quote
Dumb Luck Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I have sixteen, all of which I have used once. I'd say ten would be fine. Quote
Kofibrake Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I have 8.I find that it will be rare a case where I need more, because when summoning, i tend to kill one of the summoned Bayous in each turn of summoning to draw extra cards. It goes like: summon a Bayou in base contact to the first Gremlin next to Som'er, then summon another one in base contact with the first, killing him and drawing a card. I get a net gain of one every 2 summons but i get extra cards. These are particulary handy if you also use Bigger Hat than yours and force you and opponent to discard hand, these Kill a gremlin, draw a card make up for it. Of Course, that this all depends on what I am doing with them at the time, as the Kill and draw a card make more sense for the middle of the game phase.The first couple of turns, I may summon 3 to 4 extra Bayous, Heal them up with a Hauler and let them take it up to the opponent Edited November 18, 2015 by Kofibrake Quote
Flat Tooth Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 8 has been plenty for me as well! I wouldn't hate having 16 on the table though... Quote

Omenbringer Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 I would agree that 8 is probably the sweet spot unless you are really pushing the summon factory and your opponent isn't killing them quickly. I suppose in this circumstance or if you really wanted to spam the Bayou Gremlin's in a skew list 12-16 could be desired. Dont think you would ever need more than 16 though. 1 Quote
Flat Tooth Posted November 19, 2015 Report Posted November 19, 2015 A lot of the time I'll finish off my own gremlin on 1 wound with Somers' melee for that piglet summon and 2 card draw so that also keeps my numbers under the 8 mark. 1 Quote

Guildenstern Posted November 19, 2015 Report Posted November 19, 2015 8?! ugh, I have 6... still painting lol Good to know though Quote
Dogmantra Posted November 19, 2015 Report Posted November 19, 2015 It's ok, I only have the four in Som'er's box and rarely feel like I want more, although I don't normally play summoner. Quote
Brewmaster Posted December 4, 2015 Report Posted December 4, 2015 What I see as a "normal" Summon list is bringing in 1 Bayou a turn, and just having 3-4 already baked in. 8 is a perfectly fine number (mainly cause you can have unique minis using 4 old and 4 new ^_^) Quote
