Game 287/88 - Jaga Jaga1/Maelok1 vs Kaya3 - Short Forms
Outlast
A couple mini-ports as these were just settling in games.
I basically couldn't sleep very well the night before and hadn't been happy with my Champions lists (Part of why I was disinclined to deal with the format at Cancon) so I dreamed up some other things, knocked the cards together last minute.

Jaga vs Kaya3 - Jaga has a Dracodile, Spitter, Boneswarm, Dahlia, Ninja Pig, host of solos.Will Work for Food obviously.
Kaya is a pair of stalkers, a pureblood, some stones. Loads of Griffons.
I get first turn.
A Dracodile running up to 14 inches feels pretty damn glorious.
My shit gets up the board.
Circle move around, popping animi like they are ecies that somehow came with a use by date.
Kaya opts for a bold placement, using the flags and an obstruction to avoid Princess Salty getting into melee.
Alas for Circle, Ninja Pig threatens in a non-Linear way. The Saltess gets prodded with memories of being stood up at prom and spews forth, blinding Kaya. A Turtle shot, Ancillary spray and a couple Brine attacks get it done.
Poor River Raiders, didn't even the chance to do some work. List changed almost immediately after, losing a Boneswarm for a Bullsnapper so I could have the Swamp Gobbers, not having a unit to score sucked Hemipenes hypothetically.
...look, I need models to get up the board and be feated on ok? Yes, I'll try them again. No, I sodding doubt they'll make it much further in the list testing process.

Maelok Posse Spam vs Kaya3 - I try the Gator mob of four max units.
This game goes a fairways longer, Circle go first and get up the board.
I opt not to feat so I can be Incoporeal later.
Kaya feats, some Gators get Mauled. Nearly every beast runs super hot on Fury.
I try to get Squirrelly, popping Incooporeal and running Gators so that the Circle Beasts will frenzy on each other. I also have a unit surround Kaya.
The frenzies happen, alas a Stalker marches back and frees up Kaya.
From their I quickly get a clock win, we play on for a while anyway.
It pans out that Maelok has to hide like a hibernating Ostrich Egg, while Posse are in the right range for Stalkers to come in, pop a few and piss off.
My only recourse in running Gators after them and struggling on scenario, eventually getting to a point where Gator losses versus Revive are unsustainable. One of the last Griffons Dodging and preventing the Wrastler clearing the left zone is enough for me to call it quits.
After the instant soul binding I felt with the Jaga list and the interesting plays it could probably do, the Maelok list is an outright boring disappointment. Feels like a lamer version of Madrak1 with Champs. I don't see a way to make a Maelok list without snipping his Spell card in half effectively, which is mighty meh. I'll just work out Barny lists anyway for champs and not get to concerned about old Leather and Bones, he can just be all
