Outside Wurmwoods feat, those spell forests can be Purified. So its possible they do care. So then we are locked into 3 matchups. You've reduced the playing field again. There are also forests on the table naturally as well as basic positioning. 5" AOE's are big, but they aren't that big. That's also proccing Vengeance, which feels good . I mean, youve locked Circle into two already, no? By specifying Baldur and Wurmwood?

I stand by my points. I mean, your headline claims here covers less than 3 minutes of a 2 hour podcast. - Lacking in novel or interesting discussions of the pieces. Full of “forum wisdom” commentary. - Obviously biased reviews. - Analysis lacks any depth at all. - Inconsistant format for describing or evaluating pieces. - and not least, near complete lack of interest in the subject matter brought up repeatedly. As to you post specifically, it has the same problems as your cast. Rating Kreoss3 highly does not mean you didnt phone in the review. Neither does him being a favorite. Thats not substance, its meaningless trivia. Describing the spells isnt analysis, and the descriptions were perfunctory at best. The comparisons to Thyra were similarly superficial. Simply mentioning Gates id Death makes Thyra good isnt valuable content - its just repeating common knowledge. But yes, “tirade” is a pretty good description of that 2 hours. But that tirade made no discussion of Feora or deliverers, other than a rather Trumpian “theyre bad, bigly. Believe me.” So basically the complaint is one of false advertising and analysis of casters not in sync with your expectations A valid complaint, as we spend roughly 2 hours talking about competitive garbage useful to the average tournament player for the modern meta before getting to Feora. In which case I would like to sincerely apologise and say that we allocated time to discuss Feora roughly equivalent to her competitive viability

As for Kreoss 3...Yea you're right. We phoned it in. You got me, we wasted 10 minutes of our lives reading the spells on his card and discussing his role as a flex caster based on random forum chatter. It's hard to do these casts so I googled how to play him.
Clever, I tried to throw you off with my "facts" and appealing to our guest host having a human side to him and not being a soulless competitive automaton, but you sniffed through them

He's clearly an automaton built to ruin warmachine.

Jank as in random-funsies-never wins ? Why? Harby in Guardians is legit IMO and synergises excellently with their high DEF, fast, independent units. Flamebringers + Harby is an excellent combination on many levels, the only thing the theme lacks for me is the Hierophant. I've been using a Harby Guardians (without Judy) paired with Sevvy1/HR Exemplars for almost a year, and it's a great list IMO , excellent on scenario. Jank, as in this case being "I want a fast Harby list to serve as an answer to Ossyian that projects huge areas of threat in board to bully scenario and has a judicator in case they disrespect you too much." Despite my earlier shit posting about the cast being some kind of competitive cast only for try hards, where jank is a dirty word, that really isn't the case. Jank really is just a label that gets thrown around a lot for an untested list, and happens no matter what end of the skill spectrum you belong to our how much of a try hard you are. The difference between some half baked forum post involving creators might and successful jank usually comes down to how realistic the original ideas was and how much effort you put into making the list hum This is all pretty rich though as the Firetrucker basically just one-listed High Reclaimer to victory this weekend at the Australian Super Series >_<

Not reducing the playing field. just referring to casters that support delivers that also have tools to work around the niche defensive tech you are bringing up. You are assuming there are forests blocking LoS to the entire army, or that those forests are not something you can position to negate. Ideally when you lob 2 AOE5's at a unit like ravagers, and then proc vengeance, you finish off the rest of the unit with other models like the judicator, or idrians.
Circle is not the only faction either. Delivers do solid into the other heavy infantry out there. Is it perfect? no, but it works and is potent.

Except in the case of Wurmwood where that is pretty much true. Paying a lot of points for a single worthwhile attack based on blast damage just seems truly meh to me, I'd rather just buy a Judicator and models to support it. Anyway, you should listen to Jack's opinions more seriously. He's an extremely dangerous player in a very good meta. He dropped Primal Terrors to play Protectorate, that should be enough
