Rules Mistakes: - Regenerate has an X not a status symbol so the ability after dying stays up even when it comes back. Great catch @Jacksuhn. - I missed Butterfly Monks trigger both times when it dies. Great catch @Jacksuhn.
I’m excited to see the rest of this series! I’ll add some tips/suggestions to what has already been noted. Hopefully this will help you in future attempts! I’m sure it’s hard to get all the rules right and consider all your options when you’re making content like this, though, so please don’t take this as criticism, just potentially helpful feedback. At the end of the first round, you could have mediated from the top of your deck to get a frog to bring in a Butterfly Monk. I’m not sure if you remembered that you can meditate from your deck too. Regardless, I wanted to point out that in my limited experience, it’s usually worth meditating so you can use those dice rather than letting them go to waste. Speaking of meditating, at 41:14 you discarded 2 cards to turn a basic die into a frog. When you meditate, you set the die on a side of your choice, you don’t have to only raise it one level. So you could have kept one of those cards if you wanted. On a similar note, I noticed you changing a die to a mask instead of a wolf when using your Shifting Mist ability. When changing dice to a side of your choice, there isn’t any reason I’m aware of to choose the class side instead of a power side. You can always use the power side as the class side anyway, and if your plans change, or if you need to lower a die, it’s better to have that power side so you have more options. Against Constrict, I believe you can put an exhaustion token on a card that’s already exhausted. You don’t have to choose one of your unexhausted cards. I probably would have piled them on Shifting Mist, but that’s just me. This would have spared some of your ready spells to summon some units, which could have helped you fight for the board. That does mean that you wouldn’t be able to use Shifting Mist for a while (see next comment), but you can always meditate to improve your dice if you need to, and early board presence is pretty important. That leads me into the last thing, which is actually a rules comment. At 31:27, you’re only supposed to remove one exhaustion token from each card that has exhaustion tokens. This means the first Constrict would have remained exhausted going into round 2. I’ve enjoyed watching you play Ashes. It’s obvious that you really enjoy both the game and making content for it. Your joy is infectious!
This is AMAZING feedback, thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. I'm filming my next one now. I will keep these rules in mind for this play. Thank you again.
Yay, more Ashes! I'm excited for this series. Aradell is a fantastic PB. Her ability is so strong. Your sound effects were just icing to a very valiant effort! That second Ult was rough! I hope I’m not being a pain by being a rules lawyer. I just adore the game and want to see you playing at your best and not handicapping yourself when mistakes make things harder. To that end… Rules notes: You still get to deal one blood to the Chimera when Regenerate.... regenerates. The card was defeated, it just came back anew. When Regenerate rolls a shard, that die stays as a shard. Also, since the Regenerate keyword / text box has that X-Men symbol, it’s always online. So even when exhausted you’d still have to re-roll a rage die (yik!). I’ve had one of those buggers stick around for the entire game! You can keep your dice at the end of the round. You do not have to exhaust any you don’t want to. Good catch on not re-rolling the Chimera’s dice at the start of round 2! Defender doesn’t apply when dealing direct damage, plus Constrict was exhausted, meaning “defender” was offline. Towards the end of round 2, after meditating, you passed your main action. That would have ended the round since you and the Chimera both passed on your mains. You could have taken an attack as your main just to satisfy that condition and then kept doing things. Easy to miss trigger: Butterfly Monk has a healing effect when it dies. Good luck with this series! Ashes is such a fun and mechanically interesting game and I love how they've implemented solo.
Amazing feedback! Thank you so much. No kidding, I woke up this morning and immediately said, I missed Butterfly Monk's ability twice LOL. I didn't know the recurrence was a thing for Regenerate, yuck! Thank you so much for the feedback, keep them coming.
I do have to ask, do you have the rules listing with the Shard appearing on a dice roll for Regenerate counting towards the shards for a Red Rain? I can't find it. That's an awful ability if it is, especially if the card pretty much never goes away.
@@CanjeStudios At least a shard is better than a full on RR token if it's still on board at the end of the round. Unless, of course, it's the last shard 😳

@@CanjeStudios not on hand, but it comes down to the text saying "re-roll a basic rage die". Whenever you roll their dice, they stay as landed.
@@Jacksuhn That's brutal. Ouch. Thanks
