The Wombos of Wombo-don Combo 2: The Combo is On...bo

Shiiuga 1266

Everyone loves gratuitous sequels, right? Aren't they even better when they're made by an investment committee rather than an actual, no fooling movie studio? Of course they are!

Like any good sequel it's got everything you loved from the original and more!

The plot is more streamlined. Here's a summary:

Prologue: Score a Posted Bounty. Do not forfeit for the tag. That would be too easy, would lack character development, and make for a very short flick indeed.

Act 1: The action begins as you count the box office receipts in your office. 11 should do it, but if you can get more, it never hurts to be secure against a sudden crash.

Act 2: When the time is right, and you have all the pieces to put together a good flick, introduce the hero.

Act 3: Now the real action begins. The power goes out. Our noble hero sacrifices himself, but it is all for nought.

Roll credits as the audience (your opponent) weeps at the tragic events that have unfolded before their eyes.

Ok so the real sequence:

Streamlined from the original by including the 24/7 News Cycle in the Accelerated Diagnostics combo so you don't have to forfeit a Hostile Takeover and get a bad pub. This also means less agenda density, freeing up some space for an extra Fast Track to summon the PB. Further, it means you only need one, freeing up some influence, which has gone on Adonis Campaign, but could really go on anything. Better ice, maybe.

One thing hasn't changed about the deck though. The combo is unbeatable.

UNBEATABLE I TELLS YA!

Just to clarify, if you're only going for the double Scorch, you don't need to keep the hero on the board for a turn. Click 1, install Jackson. Click 2, Power Shutdown, then pop him. Click 3, Accelerated Diagnostics for flaming death.

But if you want that triple scorch, you'll need one in hand and a spare click, hence having Jackson out for an extra turn, smiling at everyone.

Can't wait to face this beast!

But if you forfeit it, can u still use it with 24/7? Because it's not in your score area anymore.

You're not forfeiting it using 24/7, as such. Accelerated Diagnostics removes the additional requirements for playing the operations, and so no agenda forfeit is required to activate 24/7 News Cycle. You use 24/7 to trigger the when scored ability, which happens to forfeit the agenda. At the point you begin to trigger the when scored ability, 24/7's interaction is over, so the state of the agenda is no longer relevant to it.

+1 for the name. Flavour to spare. Well done. And no, I'm not English, this level of raining death demands the +u for class.

I think adonis influence should be used for 1 biotic to allow you to be more flexible and maybe score posted bounty from hand.

That's a really good call, @mcpba.

@greylin bows

Why no Hive to score that first Posted Bounty?

25 Aug 2015 johncraven

is it confirmed that Posted Bounty works with 24/7 News Cycle?

25 Aug 2015 Shiiuga

@weepinggorilla good point

@johncraven not officially but it's a 'when scored' effect so I don't see what the problem would be? There's few enough of those kind of agendas without them saying one doesn't work simply because part of the when scored ability involves forfeiting it.

Why play this out of Titan? You are not crucially needing that 2 extra influence, and you are not using the ability. Wouldn't BaBW be better? And exchange the adonises for some Clearances? Or just go Blue Sun with OAI?

I think a mother goddess would work well here, as it is great to rush your posted bounty behind.
