[XCAPS19] Dreamfire vs bansa

Hi @Dreamfire , GL and HF!

Purple starter and Demonology to start

GL HF to you as well!
I’ll take white starter, Discipline and Finesse.

I will go with [Purple]/Demonology/Strength/Blood… this looks like way too many colors and I have no idea how this will turn out, but oh well, I’m just going to enjoy the illegal smash up while the opportunity lasts. Wait how do I plug them in to the spreadsheet though?

I started a game with a purple starter, copied the Hand and Deck columns, started another game with my specs and just pasted over the starter cards. Let me know if this would work.

That sounds like it should work. I’ll settle on [Discipline/Ninjutsu]/Finesse.

Didn’t get any of my 1-drops in my opening hand, which is a bummer. If bansa has Fargo or Plexus, I’ll be in trouble early.

Hmm not a good split, but looks like Dreamfire didn’t draw Sensei either. Maybe I can put some pressure with Vandy

No tech 1 means likely Vandy spells. Instead of worrying about them, I’ll just trade Sets to take her out.
I’m going down on cards early, so the traditional tech 1 zerg rush looks a little less appealing. But fast tech 2 sounds good against bansa’s delayed tech 1.

Worst case scenario… I was too greedy again… Greed is always the biggest enemy. Well, I guess it’s time to pay the price. Not much stack left for me, so I’m going all in… 50 to 67% is not too bad but also not enough, plus, there is no guaruntee I can survive even if this gambling works in my favor. What a way to start the tourney. Can’t even get passed T3 and already packing up.

Bold choice by bansa, delaying tech 1 further and relying on heroes when I have Snapback. I think tech 2 would let me beat even a barrage of frenzied units, but a Discord could help too.
A Kidnapping would kick my ass right now, but other than that I’m on track for a MPM next turn.

TG or MP Monk… could be Dragon as well, but he can’t have Tech II cards in hand unless he teched them previous turn and no Fencers either. Maybe it’s time for Heroes’ Hall. Am I being greedy again? Maybe but I feel like this one is necessary.

MPM feels pretty expensive at the moment, but I think (hope) I just need to tough it out for a bit until I can start accruing value. I almost played Sensei+Tower instead of MPM, but I’m worried my tech 2 won’t survive without him. I’m drawing into 3 different cards that could stop Nullcraft (~83% to draw at least one of them, before the technician draw), so I’m willing to let it take another potshot.

Teched too many spells and ended up with a hand of 5 with no units… Lacking a body, this might put me into some serious trouble next turn, but I came too far and really nothing that can be done differently at this point
