t1 victories against low level adversaries

so d tier on my tier list from the last post are the spirits that can win on turn 1, but not against a level 6 adversary. here's how those work:

start on thematic board se, initial explore sands
g2, either track to se6, 1 damage, push the dahan to se1, gain haunts and embers
play haunts and embers
haunts and embers se8, generate 4 fear, cascade to se7 se8 se6
flip aid from lesser spirits, take spur on
spur on plays threatening flames
threatening flames push a town from se6 to se1, generating 2 fear (6 total). if trans, push the damaged town, if cis, push the undamaged town.
if trans, right innate forgets both 2-costs to gain 2 power cards and 2 fire
firestorm destroys the explorer in se7 and destroys the se6 town, generating 1 fear (7 total). if trans, push the 2 explorers from se6 to se1
dahan reclaim fishing grounds deals 3 damage in se1. if trans, destroy the 2 explorers and the damaged town, if cis, destroy 1 town and deal 1 damage to the other one. this generates 1 fear (8 total)
isolation removes the other town from se1

start on board d, initial explore jungles
g3, bottom track to d1, play all your slow powers
sparking innate yourself, gain and play haunts and embers
haunts and embers d5, generating 4 fear, cascade into d4
shatter d7, generating 2 more fear (total 6)
smite d2, destroy the explorer and add a badlands
harbingers push 2 dahan from d1 to d2, generating 1 more fear (total 7)
dahan reclaim fishing grounds deals 4 damage in d2, destroying a city and generating 2 more fear (total 9)
dahan raid deals 2 damage in d2, destroying the other city and generating 2 more fear (total 11)
this is 1 fear off from getting another fear card to remove the last explorer :dismay:
