Malifaux Battle Report [Neverborn vs. Arcanists]

[@tabletopandgaming]

[Read this First!!] A reminder that we’re casual players flipping cards for fun, we play casual and it takes a lot of time and effort to record and edit in this style. If there are any rules queries please roll with them, and avoid spamming a load of timestamps with corrections, as it tends to come off as more disrespectful than helpful. Thank you all for watching!

[@floweringnight-lord3008]

Think the MVP is.... Ice Pillars 🤣🤣

[@Mystrich]

e looks so gorgeous but also MVP moment to the drawing a 4 when you needed a 4+ for Broodmaster's Domain.

[@robbell5346]

MVP is Courtney himself for his reaction at the reveal 😂

[@farfarawaywargames]

MVP, as always, is probably the video recording and editing. Malifaux is a really involved game, but you manage to show what’s going on at all times. Thanks.

[@spilledpaintpot]

The MVP is Barbaros (who I keep hearing you call Bob Ross) for tanking all those Raspy shockwaves in a row.

[@morok8977]

The real mvp was jonny for that lovely paintjob

[@michaelgrey1351]

I think the best tip for playing Rasputina is when placing her on the table you sing Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina" song, replacing "Gasolina" with "Rasputina" while maintaining eye contact the whole time.

[@djmacbest]

I really have to give you guys a lot of credit for these battle reports - they are not just a lot of fun, but also so, so good for people like me who are still learning the game, basically perfect for play-along (in my head) to get a grasp of the millions of little interactions these cards provide. Many, many thanks for that, really so appreciated! I'm looking for that same type of help to understand Tara and Tiri - any Battle Reports with those ladies coming up, by any chance? ;)

[@tabletopandgaming]

Thank you so much! Tiri is next in this season :)

[@sinisterrain2079]

That Gwyll voice for whisper in their ear was the MVP ahaha. Love me some Raspy, always up for some cold themed sorceress!

[@Sybaritepainting]

Great looking crews! Looking forward to watching.

[@tabletopandgaming]

I hear you're on the Raspy train too now!

[@Sybaritepainting]

@@tabletopandgaming Well, more like pondering it! I jumped back onto the resser train, but then I was also tempted by the ice queen. Got too little time to play these days!

[@Gilbragol]

The MVPs was the Kaldgeists, great unpacking potential. Thanks for a fantastic game. I love that you guys keep things inside keywords.

[@gajukes]

I’m so glad you’ve started a new season; now I’ll get to learn Rasputina

[@bryceozak4913]

MVP is that terrain, looks super cool

[@brunobraga6905]

The hype for some more Neverborn goodness is real!

[@incompotent100]

MVP is Courtney for that super pure reaction at seeing Raspy

[@GaryArkham]

And once again this channel has made me start a new crew. Time to learn Kastore! Now you have the moral obligation of talking about him in your podcast (nods solemnly)

[@tabletopandgaming]

We're recording his episode this Sunday! :)

[@FairieSword]

So Excited to See Rasputina and December! She was my first Master

[@colbygonzalez6546]

It's cool to see the Returned keyword in action! I haven't gotten a chance to play against that keyword yet!

[@robryan5478]

MVP to Courtney, for the streak of showing off his hand to the camera! But as always, hugely hyped to see new masters, new crews and the ever-lovely paint jobs!

[@Ventruethful]

I'm digging the new approach!

[@aaronl.5029]

MVP is Kaltgeist way to keep everyone busy and cause chaos.

[@chrispymm9874]

Poor Barbaros's wings don't work because the flight muscles were cut with a cursed knife that prevents them ever healing. The mean folk who ran the fighting pit he was trapped in did it to stop him getting away (before Bishop freed him and lead a big ol' break out).

[@alexanderbuttler3902]

Raspy is MVP. Hand pressure is how you turn bad flips from a problem into a nightmare.

[@robertgregg2093]

Courtney's MVP had to be Kastore such an awesome and versatile master. Tom's MVP was Courtney's deck.

[@phantasiandream]

MVP is Rasputina for dishing out so much damage

[@mo0po0]

MVP is the Raspi simply for doing what the ice queen does best. Also, what deck of cards is Courtney using?! They are brilliant!

[@devintowne8473]

Can I call all of you the MVP for inspiring me to pick up a few core boxes and starting a local scene?

[@lightthemoononfire735]

The real MVPs are the enemies we slaughtered along the way :))

[@stcunningham85]

MVP is the Kaltgeist next to the Ice Golem, it was such a good player the Golem got jealous and punched him.

[@marcoconte134]

MVP was the ice golem for sure lol, 1 hit 1 kill!

[@morgankelly3526]

MVP is ice pillars for being so disruptive

[@yuhangma6901]

MVP is the Ice Golem! really well painted

[@tarekt8427]

woot woot new season. so hyped. plz more explorer's society if possible. woot woot on the rasputina as i was considering her as a keyword. my friend is offering it to me for not expensive. damn the slow if start activation near a pillar or discard seems busted strong. Rasputina is my vote. seems like a great Master.

[@TheDramaPinata]

Mvp was the editor. Liked seeing the stat cards included. Other batreps I've seen didn't include stats so they weren't as accessible to watch as yalls.

[@spilledpaintpot]

The Least Valuable Player has to be Courtney's deck on the 4th turn, colder than Raspy's toes.

[@KieranDunleavy]

Kaltgeists felt like the MVP in this one. Enabling group movement, and being more resilient than you could imagine!

[@harveyg3958]

Amazing board ..best Malifaux terrin so far across the web. Great crews and paint jobs

[@robbiephilly389]

Great battle report and format, guys! One questions, these terrain/building pieces are gorgeous, from which line are they? Thx!

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi there, it's the battle systems fantasy village you're after.

[@robbiephilly389]

@@tabletopandgamingthanks!!

[@orkybob]

Love Rasputina, her lore is so great!

[@Frozenkoldfury]

MVP was Marathine, because that model is just so gorram cool

[@NapoleonSoares]

these are always awesome. Also, theres no way im the only one who hear's "Barbaros" as "Bob Ross" right? As if he's now taken up painting ever since he was branded a traitor

[@LockedInAnotherRoom]

Rasputina enforces so much CC that I feel she deserves the mvp title. Despite the excellent movement and sequencing by the kastore player, rasputina demonstrates her truly oppressive board presence.

[@voltroncentipede]

MVP was Raspy for setting up all the ice pillars and hand filtering

[@jamesnicholson4713]

Courtney was the mvp for playing the all the nephalim!!!

[@JingoTheJinxed]

Technically since Kastore eats other nephilim, this is a Cannibal vs Cannibal vote off

[@oisingaffney6348]

I always said that if I ever finally got in to malifaux that rasputina would be the leader I would go with

[@unholyllama]

I love thèse battle reports and hope you keep them up!! Do you have a reference as to where you obtained your terrain? It looks great!

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi it's the Battle Systems Fantasy Village, you can find a full review on the channel.

[@Poggergobbler]

That reveal gave me chills lol

[@ellyeahbrother9678]

My MVP has got to be Raspy! She put out so many Pillars and so much Slow over the game. She really kept like half the crew at bay by herself 🥶

[@adamtomczak4283]

Well, good timing since I just picked up the Returned keyword and have been looking hard at December with its new toys.

[@robmildon8612]

Unf, that table looks so dang good. Is it eligible for MVP?

[@mikey_vengenz]

This was a great game! Between Rasputina bouncing damage everywhere and Kastor's dominate moving the Ice Golem, it's tough to decide who the MVP is. Both Master's did great! Edit: so i watched this in 2 parts and I'll have to add barbaros to the list for taking on an ice golem and kaldgeist.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool report.

[@cadeparker6808]

LFG I LOVE THE MYSTERY MASTER SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

[@tylanjackson4593]

You should put Ancient Pact on the Cavern instead of the Urnbearer. The Urnbearer will still die. But your opponent won't be as incentized to kill it

[@FrDeerhands]

In my experience, they gun for the urnbearer anyway as she provides alot to the crew. I suppose on the flip, your not losing that extra 2 stones though when they inevitably die

[@vinnytest16]

MVP has gotta be Big Chungus, the Ice Golem, for just being SO large.

[@Pokephantom]

I'm late! but MVP is Barbaros dude was a tank and excellent painter

[@mattc1043]

Great battle report. Love the terrain. May I ask where they are from?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi, it's from battle systems, you can find reviews on our channel.

[@grzegorzcholewinski994]

Courtney Deck - the "real" MVP :D

[@Saekhor]

MvP is obviously the Strategy Marker for making the middle of the board ass to move in. ;) Jokes aside, Memeflips Meta dictates that Courtney's Fate Deck gets the MvP because we all love an Underdog.

[@SomeFilthyCasul]

Second place to the Silent One for chewing through soulstones like paracetamol so they could deliver that sweet middle finger to Kastore.

[@FrDeerhands]

As the only international memeflip member i hope you were both rooting for me!

[@SomeFilthyCasul]

Always mate, you've yet to sully yourself with Pandora 😂.

[@Saekhor]

@@FrDeerhands Of course. :D

[@tabletopandgaming]

Whoa whoa whoa wtf Roo

[@colemiller8180]

My first and last game with Raspi I completely got shut down so here's to hoping I pick up a thing or two

[@brooklynthecity6506]

Oh boy, the MVP spot has got to be tied up between a few selections. Most obviously, Raspy's ice pillars blocked so much in the way of LoS & movement, and with that discard-or-slow ability constantly draining the Kastore player's hand. The Blessed of December scored and blocked the most points on it's own. The Kastore player was the MVP for his upbeat attitude even when flipping horrible cards (how did that Wendigo and Silent One escape alive?). Barbaros did hold his own though, lasting much longer than I had expected. Great batrep yall, I'm looking foreward to seeing how the Raspy player changes and grows his crew in the coming matches.

[@psycojester]

Euripedes and Kastore aren't mates. Euri simps for Titania and Kastore is ride or die for the Nephilim and thinks that Titania needs to re-die.

[@TeapotDaddy]

I think [REDACTED] was MVP because I am a huge fan of ?????!

[@repentia1]

love this game, sadly it died in my local community

[@QueerOldMagic]

The MVP is definitely Courtney for his lovely reaction to the Raspy reveal. . . And there want a pixel deck in use, so he gave up a huge advantage? In game, the Urn Bearer and her “battle juice”.

[@mdleone2000]

Mvp are kastore's minions talking to kastore.

[@bluething3D]

Makifaux yeeee!!🎉🎉

[@lachlanlewis3696]

Definitely kaldgeists as the MVP for me

[@sebastianschmidt7234]

Rasputina i love you ❤

[@dmeep]

I really hope ??? wins

[@GaryArkham]

Thank you for these batreps. I love Malifaux but it is impossible to follow the action unless you can read the cards and the super dense interactions in real time. You make that possible with what no doubt is rather tiresome editing work. It is super appreciated.
