Well it seems it’s on me to win or die to hand you your first loss, @cstick. I need to study up on how you’ve been crushing it so hard. GL HF dude!

My Thoughts

This is a tough matchup as P1. I think I probably go Lich’s Bargain spam, despite the risk Law poses to that plan…I don’t see another path (graveyard + lobber, bleeding cards via Imp, Kidnapping, lusty BCs) that would net enough pressure to stymie the present engine.

We’ll see how it goes!

I think double BC is the way to be here. If I can stick that (he isn’t going Bigby, so no Judgment Day immediate threat!), I should be able to roll.

My Thoughts

Well, I have #theDream for a hand here (along with the scav death). Down on cards, he’s going to struggle to keep up I think. He’ll likely veer towards Judgment Day now, and thus I’m going to prep for blood spam. Nether Drain and Desperation teched, all out assault!


Enjoy your 1 (one) card

My Thoughts

Interesting choice of Scribes! I kinda love it, especially with Graveyard. Gets him the pressure relief and stabilizes card count. But I like where I’m sitting all the same. I have plenty of latitude to tech up while bullying his board away. Teching a Barrow and a Glider, gives me the most options for the Desperation scheme of generally bowling over. Should be good to maxband Garth for the barrow and hit him with everything I have, and maybe sac some skeletons to recover hand size :slight_smile:

Okay, that’s a beatable patrol. Double tech kill and leave Garth up, that leaves him with no chance to Judgment Day. And with this much board presence, I don’t think he can recover. Teching a Death Rites and the other Barrow, and that should help me close the game

Oh yeah, with Garth still alive and tech 2 gone I have no way to get Bigby in for Judgment Day… this is looking like a loss.
