Giving the typical quick consideration to Bloodburn. The main relevance here is that it kills Nullcraft for free. However, that’s not super relevant after the early game because endgame Purple Peace drops Nullcraft from hand. The other consideration is Mox, but honestly dropping BB is itself a tempo loss like Mox and Mox doesn’t even put runes on. Cool, that’s settled. In that case, BRO plus hero is the way to go here. I have a lot of ways to explode the patrol zone and want to make sure I’m burning down tech buildings. Next turn, I have a few ways to use 6 gold, so I’ll just stick BRO in scav to make Geiger + Nullcraft redundant. Tech plan is GPT into Lobber/Fire Dart into Firebirds.

@Unity’s turn!

I gambled that he doesn´t have his Bloodrage Ogre. Played Geiger to avoid Pillage, now I pay double for this risk as I can´t save him.

3 for Scorch, Ogre trades. Drakk disables Mox and 1 to midband. Nah, Mox disable isn’t needed because there’s no Tech 1 to break down. I can instead throw down Rambaster and then build Tech 1 of my own…hmm no it has to be Naughty Dog.

Pressure is on. Would like to put my Argonaut at the Technichian or Scavenger Slot, but if he levels Drakk one level more he could finish him off with just his dog.

Question for carpe for after the match:

why not mid drakk, so frenzied ogre hits geiger for 3+A, Drakk kills geiger, maxb and heals, then Ndog from hand? You would have obtained the same effect, left a patroller and gained Maxb drakk while saving yourself a card.

I have to make a decision: I was tending towards Tech II Present. But I would also like to try to consolidate the defensive line with overeager Cades and try to gain air superiority thereafter. Hmmm, let´s see…

I can use hasted Careless plus Rambaster to break Tech 2. That means I need to use Drakk plus GPT to hmm. That doesn’t leave me with enough unless I also Charge BRO. 4 gold to BRO charge, that kills Argo, Drakk bumps Mox and Rambaster deals 4 to Tech 2. Leave GPT up and build Tech 2 with 4 gold. Next turn I’ll have lots of tempo to play with thanks to Promise of Payment. This doesn’t break Tech 2 but I doubt Unity has a Tech 2 unit ready to go. Sticking GPT in Technician on the off chance that I can draw a Firebird there, and by my read there’s no clear way for a kill on Drakk or anything important through GPT, I guess unless Unity pre-teched Now!

Tech choice: In case he razes my Tech II, I tech an Overeager Cadet. In case it survives, a Nebula would be tempting…

Actually, to be correct: I repay my debts in the Upgrade phase :wink: Will edit.

Oh, no: I have to change my turn: can´t play Elite Training without Onimaru…
I guess I have to do a new discard/draw, is that correct?

I hope it is correct now. Sorry for that!

I think Vir should be at 3/1, no armor after killing GPT?

I thought armor refreshes at the beginning of every turn and Elite training lasts until my next Upkeep so the armor is refreshed at the beginning of your turn.

@FrozenStorm Could you please help?

That’s just Squad Leader armor, which refreshes during multiplayer in between player turns. One-time armor goes away after a hit. (That said, not relevant to my turn I think, but good to have on hand for the future.)

I guess either way I want to crash Tech 2 down. Max Zane and draw a card by bumping Oni into Technician. Flame Arrow double tech? Or maybe Ember Sparks to potentially deal with a Mox nah wait we want Bloodlust to potentially get Firebirds out there.

@Unity’s turn!

Ouch, that hurt. Nice move, didn´t see that coming.
