My
slann are like a family that lost their dog.
Lots of
people to throw a stick, but noone to
go fetch.
Aptly named
Agile (
first and
as of yet only ever [R] slann catcher legend; AG6 blodge sure hands pass block) was the best retriever ever, an amazing interceptor, and a great thrower. He was
killed on the field today, 1 turn after making the 4th intercept in his carreer.
Agile's most amazing potential was in retrieval. AG6 dodge sure hands means that if the ball was on the ground, it was his. While this is what made him great and why he won me matches, he earned his SPPs with a formidable
101 completions in 65 games. This way, he mostly left the scoring to the blitzers (who are always in dire need of SPPs), as a good slann catcher should. Giving away the ball before the end of his turn also helped direct the attention away from him. At the end of his career he became an amazing interceptor as well: his ability to pass block led him to make 3 (2+, safe-throw proof) intercepts in the 11 games he played as a legend. His untimely death leaves him just 1 intercept short of being the first slann player ever to make it to the top interceptor list (in the
competitive divisions anyway). Even blocking is something Agile was apparently a natural talent at. Despite only making 9 blocks in 65 games, he somehow managed to rack up 2 cas.
While I'm always a scared pixelhugger when it comes to this guy, not leaving him easily blitzable or with the ball, this game the opponent's
basher legend had leap and a mission. Agile intercepted, and then handed off in my turn. Nightbreed said 'he has to die!', Arbane jumped into the air and smashed Agile into the ground with enough force to kill-apo-kill a +AV treeman without mighty blow, rolling 66 65 65 65.
Agile was fantastic. I will miss him dearly.
