So this weekend I wound up hitting the 2nd Annual Buffalo Team Tournament in Buffalo, NY, with 2 of my teammates from the OTC. After the OTC I had started trying out Jalaam, but only managed to get 2-3 games in before I went to London on vacation. Jump forward a few weeks, and I landed back in NY on the 22nd of March, with the tournament looming on the 24th. I'd been planning on pairing Jalaam with Zaal1, because I have a problem with trying to play ADR and also wanted to get some practice in before the SOO (woo Champions!). I knew that I wanted to run Jalaam in Winds, hopefully with something that could function as a counter-shooting list, and since that seemed like it'd make for a decently balanced list (volume of shooting, a few sources of mild-crack), I wanted to pair it with something that could ask it a lot of aggravating questions in its own right. I know Zaadesh2 has been the popular go to for our ADR, but I've always had a soft spot for Zaal1 and couldn't resist trying him out.
Unfortunately, I hadn't played him in over a year - so never in a theme. I did manage to get one game in via Vassal (Thanks to The Unholy Potato in
WMH Discord for the game!), and while I got myself killed it made me feel pretty good about my decisions. I'll be going over my games from Saturday, but first... the lists!
