Anyone up for just doing a draft with the prelims slices? Not sure I can add a new game right now but this light help me get a bit more familiar with the slices.

6/6/6, I need to find the slices string

I don't mind helping. I'm not playing in SCPT but always enjoy drafting.

Sounds fun

#

I’d draft with you, but you may want someone less casual?

leaden basin
#

Yes

#

for the slice string

green dove
#

Sure as long as it’s just draft.

half summit
#

Cool that's 6

#

I'll set it up or anyone else can too

green dove
#

Why don’t you do the honors? 🙂

half summit
#

Because I'm busy 😅 but I can do it now

Good point. And it’s sound. However I have a question for the draft. Are we doing a post draft mortem or running through our picks now? This is a tournament game and if I talk about it now it influenced our picks later.

I'm OK with after

I’m good with after

Done!

#

Wanna discuss?

vast night
#

@sweet bloom and @half summit left I think?

green dove
#

I mean…how do you know? Besides they’ll see this later. I essentially drafted the way I did because Naaz Rokha is a strong faction, regardless of what I was going to draft later. I also got some skips…but I screwed up because I forgot the triple green faction tech was yellow.

#

Factions

half summit
#

I think I regretted not just taking titans like right after my pick. Idk

green dove
# half summit Yellow?

The tech you always complain about on your show lol.

But yes. I picked a slice with cybernetic tech instead of biotic

sweet bloom
#

I got Xxcha

#

@half summit

#

I feel like if I get good secrets this is a great Xxcha spot

#

And can get an early hero

green dove
#

Oh man whoops. You didn’t pick a faction you sly dog.

half summit
#

I assumed I'd be left with Xxcha

green dove
#

Literally did the thing I lambasted someone for doing. Oh well it can’t affect the draft since it won’t affect much. Sorry @sweet bloom

half summit
#

I was surprised to see my highest ranked slice available at pick 6, and the factions were all acceptable, so I went slice and order

#

Probably wish I'd gone titans instead though - looking at the map now

vast night
#

Picked Speaker - (I know I won’t be stuck with Xxcha unless I want to be, since Mango grabbed slice. And if I decide I want to be the turts then obbie dependent I can grab Trade and bribe the 6 to take Diplo. Having played these before, I like slice 6, but none of them are absolutely miserable)

Slice 6 was marginally worse than the other remaining in terms of planets (1 less) and optimally spent resources, but lacked the blue and red skip, contained asteroids (when no remaining factions had Antimass), and had a planet on a wormhole which seemed more likely to be contested.

Empyrean was kinda my aim here. Easy access to a couple DET’s, nebula defense, could grab psycho R1 and get Gdrive/Fighter II or something later on. 1st spot means I could own Trade timing depending on obbie

#

NRA would be okay with Titans PN, but imo they suffer in any of these from only being able to mill 1 deck

half summit
#

First pick and empy feels like a win

green dove
#

Was thinking about your slice. And I wanted Empyrean or Muatt but I thought draft order precluded me from getting a good slice for either.

vast night
#

With a red slice, someone with more than 2 infantry would be ideal

green dove
#

I kinda tirpedo’d the draft though with the biotic mistake though.

vast night
#

I feel very good about that draft

#

Probably do something stupid like grab Psycho R1 (off secondary maybe, with Trade as primary) and bank on Enigmatic or tech primaries to get Carrier 2/Fighter 2, and the blue suite eventually

#

Let’s flip two random objectives

vast night
#

The slices don’t feel super different in terms of power. Green ones maybe the worst?

leaden basin
#

My only regret is being between titans and argent

sweet bloom
leaden basin
#

Should have avoided that

Less candy but more attachments & money

vast night
#

Maybe objective 1 will be attachments

#

Then RNG will screw me, not my explore chances if I were in green

#

Slow-ish Xxcha to one side and a partially blocked NRA on the others feels relatively safe

vast night
half summit
#

Yeah you need a game

#

Someone just pick them from a list
