Are you slowly assembling a team and then going to roleplay what the team fight will be like? ---

“OH COLTDAMMIT! I was gonna pick Valkyrie! Augh…” Power begrudgingly sits and weighs his reamining options. After some deep thought, he takes the Templar card. “This better not buck me over.” ---

As Actreal puts on the finishing touches ensuring the goblin cannot escape the manacles connecting him to the high explosives, his Bone Dragon is once more summoning, this time an ancient warrior spirit heeds the call, reanimating his… **Skeleton!** If I understood right, @Zelfore is now up? ---

Hope I didn’t keep you all waiting long. 😜 My final troop pick shall be the one who worships the stars as they shall now worship the gods. I’m going with, **Star Gazer**! May her powers prophesize victory. My team order will be exactly as I picked them: **Abhorath** **Aziris** **Giant Spider** **Star Gazer** Throwing a call out to @yonizaf to finish things up on troop selection! ---

My banner choice doesn’t rely on @yonizaf’s final troop selection, so in case I’m not on later, I’ll kick off the banner selection. The teams take their places in the opening ceremony of the Games. Team Actreality appears mostly bone white and undulating green with a whiff of lightly toasted goblin so the banner they unfold before them clashes dramatically… **The Old Gods’ Banner!** 👿 _(Purple/Purple for those that don’t memorise banner names like I do…)_ @Zelfore is up next for banner selection, but he is welcome to be more patient than me in waiting for @yonizaf. 😛 ---

Might want to hold off on banner selection in case it impacts his pick. I don’t imagine it will. But FYI. ---

I will allow @actreal’s Banner choice but I would ask @Zelfore to please wait for @yonizaf’s pick. ---

And… once again, my preferred choice was stolen from me on the turn before mine. How do you guys do that? Keeping my hope till the moment, then crushing it mercilessly like that… Oh well, whatever works. I’ll take Siren. My team order: Knight Coronet Anoited One Sheggra Siren I gather @Zelfore should be picking a banner next? ---

Sorry, yozinaf. If it helps my 1st-4th picks were also taken, now I’ve only got 4 color coverage. Considering my team already has two Magic Links, what I really need is something to power my spider. Which is why I’ll be choosing the **Woodland Banner**! _(+2 Green)_ @Studs, you’re my last callout, lets see what you got! ---
