Summary

 

That was fun…Talk about dice rolls and critical..My opponent manage to destroy all three storm serpents with critical. On top of that having 2 fail activate with off board units didn't help either, so in the long Run the SPIRIT WRAITHLORD WARHOST did even get on the table…I like to try the list again and see want happens, I guess a rematch is on..
