Zombie Horde (Epic Digital Campaign Mission 11)

After seeing multiple requests for advice on the Epic Digital campaign generally and Mission 11, Zombie Horde, specifically, I streamed myself running through the campaign.

So far I’ve edited together our multiple games against the Epic Digital Campaign’s 11th mission, Zombie Horde. Watch me underestimate it and lose the first game. Then analyze, adapt, and crush it in (most) of the remaining games. [Zannos is a crazy strong card.]
Attempt 1: 00:00
Attempt 2: 12:40
Attempt 3: 18:52
Attempt 4: 21:50
Attempt 5: 36:44
Attempt 6: 44:22
Attempt 7: 46:14

Watch Zombie Horde (Mission 11 Epic Campaign) from TomSEpicGaming on www.twitch.tv

Next streams are

  • Thursday March 26 from 7pm to 10pm CDT. Not sure what specifically I’ll be streaming. Possibly the random 30 arena or constructed testing for the Digital Monthly this Saturday
  • Saturday March 28 starting at 10am CDT. Digital Monthly (Constructed) Go until we get knocked out (or win)
  • Sunday March 29th starting at 2pm CDT. No plans for this as of yet

Let me know if there is anything anyone would actively like to see, open to requests!

Random 60 Arena Stream (Build)

Streaming today at 7pm CDT. We are going to open by building a deck from this Random 60 pool. I have not yet looked through it (aside from what I couldn’t avoid seeing when taking screenshots of it). So, feel free to build your own version, debate with me on my card choices during the stream, and see how your final version compares with mine.

Epic Streaming

Planning on streaming Epic Card Game

  • Thursday March 19 from 7pm to 10pm CDT
  • Sunday March 22 starting at 2pm CDT
  • Thursday March 26 from 7pm to 10pm CDT
  • Sunday March 29 starting at 2pm CDT

I plan on running through the campaign for one of them, currently thinking Sunday March 22. Aside from that, let me know what you want to see.

  • Which format(s)? If constructed,
    • Any deck requests?
    • Any cards you would like to see me build around? (my most comfortable archetype is mid-range but I’ve been experimenting with aggro)
  • Against which players (top level players, direct challenges, queue/arena, etc.) [If anyone actively wants to play some games during any of these times, let me know and we’ll make that happen]
  • Anything else

Showmatch Video

I have also edited the first game from the showmatch against Christian Kudahl (Kudahlissimo). [Game starts at 00:47:00]:

Watch Dark Draft (including my excessively thorough explaining) from TomSEpicGaming on www.twitch.tv

I went a bit overboard in explaining my dark draft picks. For comparison, this is a video from the February Dark Draft monthly tournament with a timed Dark Draft:

Watch *Best Game* Epic: Game 5 – Feb Dark Draft Monthly from TomSEpicGaming on www.twitch.tv

I’m guessing most people would prefer somewhere in between these two extremes for untimed Dark Drafts (possibly similar to the remaining three games from the showmatch), but I would appreciate any feedback about this or anything else from the streams. If anyone has any lingering questions or anything they would like me to go over in a future stream, let me know in the comments. Always happy to have an excuse and direct motivation to explain something in detail.

Sunday Dark Draft Showmatch

This Sunday, March 15th at 8pm CET (2pm CDT), I am going to stream a best of 5 Dark Draft Showmatch against Christian Kudahl (IGN: Kudahlissimo) at https://www.twitch.tv/tomsepicgaming/

He is Danish, an excellent game designer (I’m looking forward to talking more about this in the future), and a blog reader who’s potentially surpassed me at Dark Draft. I think he has above a 50% win rate against me in Dark Draft right now, and there aren’t many other people who can boast that (Hampus Eriksson and Bill Anderson). We’ll see if I can hold him off or if he will demonstrate his superiority.

If looking for a Dark Draft primer, this is my Simplified Dark Draft article: http://www.tomsepicgaming.com/dark-draft-simplified/
I’ll be focusing on these concepts throughout.

In the meantime, I’ve edited out the individual games from the February Dark Draft Monthly tournament. If you only watch one, I highly recommend this one against Atlanta: Best Game
