Lunging Hugh

[jamesmcmurray]

And one more before I wander off to bed.

Hugh Fitzcairn
Hugh +1

Attacks
9 Basics (-LL, -UL, -UR, +3 LR)
5 Lunge

Defenses
6 Basics
5 Evade
1 Master Block (that's all I own)

Situations
2 Scalper
3 Darius
1 Duncan (I'd drop a Darius to add another if I had it)
1 Who (all I own)

Plots
1 The Hunters (all I own)

Events
2 Master's Wit
5 Combination
4 Trip
2 Police
1 Misfortune

Locations
3 Irish Pub

Edges
2 Alertness (Block)

Attacks: The Agility attacks are crystalled out to make room for trips and dodges. They're replaced with Lower Rights because it's an empathy gem and so it combines well with Combination.

Defenses: Standard blocks and dodges.

Situations: Most of them are just there to put Empathy on the table, although Darius and Duncan are certainly useful. The Stalker could probably be something else, but would help to mess with other ally decks like Duncan and the mirror match.

Locations: Irish Pub all the way. It's another Empathy in play for Combination and helps him to heal as well. Trips are there to recycle Master's Wit and Combinations/Lunges.

Won't the Scalper remove your own allies if your opponent runs out of allies to munch? I'd only run him in a no-ally deck.

[jamesmcmurray]

He can kill himself once the opponent has run out of allies.

Yup thats why Scalper is so mean .

[jamesmcmurray]

He's also useful for Hugh and his "Who?", as Hugh can ignore him until his opponent plays an ally, and he'll count as an in play for Combination.
