Very cool to see Ankaur Maro's Shadow Council bring in some demon Flesh Rippers. Looks like it was a pretty close game, although he was not in a great position to be able to continue fighting off the Carrion Lancers and Ankaur Maro, were the game to keep going.

Yeah. In his own words he was tactically beaten, but the dice favored him. He rolled very hot, and I rolled pretty cold over all.

I drew him in and pounced his Death Knights. The Shield of Margath was active on them which whittled down my own forces, but Maro definitely did some damage. The Unstable Runes popped up a couple of times for "other" Maro to roll 4 white dice... OUCH!!! This was my first time really trying out Maro. The Flesh Rippers definitely did their job, but an unfortunate shift caused them to become engaged with the archers vs wiping "other" Maro off of the face of the battlefield.
