    9:30 the maelstrom colossus's also got trample as they are also golems which i think is a pretty cool synergy

    I have to admit, I did scream at Thoralf for not attacking and just passing, but that's because I never thought Affinity could just, draw itself out of their deck.

    • @lomenado

      They have trample (from the Maul Splicer that created them), not first strike. The guys were talking about first strike as a joke, indeed specifically mentioning the card Blade Splicer, the white member of the Splicer cycle that makes a 3/3 golem and gives all golems first strike.

      That said, the guys wound up playing this one correctly, because Andrea ended up shooting the Maul Splicer when he sacked his blocking Frogmite to the Makeshift Munitions (when the Maul Splicer died, all of Toffel's golems lost trample, including the Maelstrom Colossi). He only did that because of an overly helpful recommendation from Toffel, though, so it really sounds like it was a case of stumbling upon the correct answer by accident. :)
