so recently Etherlords, on one example of its head->>table routine, ran me up against one of those kobold shaman decks.

are there any good card combinations or strategies to shut that down? mainly from a Kinet point of view? I know Flood shuts it down pretty nice. and outpacing it in damage with a higher level creature works, too. these kobold shaman decks generally take their time to accomplish stuff. that was pretty much my strategy. but is there anything else? I'm specifically asking within the context of SPOILER WARNING skip to next paragraph.. the level where you pick which ally to fight as. in that mission, you don't get a card for it near your base. there's no flood until you take the chaot base, or if memory serves, that sorcerer's shop near the synthet base.

so could anyone list off any strategies for shutting the kobold shaman, walls, with and without the kobold elder, thing down? mainly from the perspective of what spells you have available to you near your base?
