My friend and I played a really fast game a couple days ago. It was Benders (me) vs Mountain Vargath (him). I don't think I have ever as easily defeated the MV ever before.
He started by rushing a deceiver hoping to get a quick magic and remove some stun from the board. This failed and I laughed as now I had a free magic point essentially.
On my turn I drew 3! Deceivers and a magic drain and Kalal! Pretty much a dream hand! obviously I couldn't use the magic drain so I decided to scrap it for magic. During this turn I collected the sitting duck on my side of the field and kept my guys away from his brutes.
His turn he only got one attack with a brute which failed miserably again. He scraped most of his hand for magic.
My turn drew my 1 card and played 2 of the 3 deceivers and with that was able to stun ALL of his units, except his summoner obviously. Scraped the extra deceiver and gained 1 other magic point from attacking with controllers.
His turn. Using his self generated magic he played a warrior and used that one event card that put commons close to his summoner so he could get away from my deceivers
It didn't help him much as I was able to destroy most of his commons at that point where he only killed 1 deceiver and 1 controller. I had about 5 magic at this point and decided to summon nothing to save for Kalal I killed his second to last common on the field which boosted it to 6 and I discarded his other common with Tacullu's couter summon. Which put me down to 4 magic so I scraped 3 from my hand to get Kalal next turn. (it's nice knowing that I'm not fighting a magic steal deck, lol!)
His turn he summoned a brute cause other than that he had events that were unhelpful. He then proceeded to kill another deceiver.
MY TURN, summoned Kalal. At this point he was absolutely screwed. I started doing all I could to just build crap tons of magic. Even killed my own deceiver for the extra point.
His turn, managed to summon another 2 commons but were little help, as he couldn't roll hits to save his life... literally.
My turn again! draw some cards, summoned a breaker and started sifting through his deck and discarded a champion of his cause he had no magic to save it. lol!
Basically the game continued like that, I kept summoning breakers and in combo with Kalal is just too evil. I've heard a lot of flack about Kalal but after this game I never want her to leave my deck. Eventually I was able to maraud Sunderved with shots from kalal and finish him off. Neither of us got through our deck even with all the discarding we were doing.
It was quite an incredible game. Anyway, just thought I would share that cause it's kinda evil and seemed really over-powered.
