In my last battle report, I said I was taking a little break. Well, now I'm back, and here's the game I played before I left, the third game in the pod tournament we're playing in my local meta.
My opponent was Dave, the Legion player whose Anamag list crushed me a couple months ago, so I knew I needed to have an answer. I thought about using Zaadesh, since I'd been able to block drags with Inviolable Resolve before, but then I looked at Anamag's cards, and she has Hex Blast, so that was a no-go. Instead, I came up with a new list that I was pretty sure would be able to tangle with Primal Terrors and still be decent into some other matchups depending on what Dave brought.
Lord Assassin Morghoul (*29pts) - Winds of Death
*Mammoth (38pts)
*Archidon (10pts)
*Agonizer (6pts)
*Aptimus Marketh (0pts)
Siege Animantrax (17pts)
Mortitheurge Willbreaker (0pts)
Venator Dakar (4pts)
Extoller Soulward (3pts)
Venator Rievers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (9pts)
*Command Attachment (Officer and Standard Bearer) (4pts)
Venator Slingers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (8pts)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (5pts)
Morghoul 2 has some excellent tools against Primal Terrors: Mortality to help take care of those pesky Chosen, and a Feat which can take most infantry Morghoul can see out of the game for a turn, not to mention dropping Def to levels where the Mammoth and Turtle will have no trouble hitting. Overall, I was pretty optimistic about this list into Anamag, and willing to play it into an Oracles list if he brought one. This would be my first time ever playing Morghoul 2, so we'll see what he's capable of.
