I think I’m in good position with Growth + Anarchy and no Upgrade hate from Carpe… MoLaC feels like a pretty free win here, but I guess we’ll see!

Gargoyle sounds like a smart move here with Spirit of the Panda and no Anti-Air / Flying from Carpe… StW is a risk but I have some weanies to keep that at bay (and can tech more in with a Dark Pact). Still plan for MoLaC.


@CarpeGuitarrem back to you homey!

My Thoughts

Well that saaahks… Losing DP limits my choices here. Wither and dump Jandra buys some time but doesn’t really get me the tempo I was hoping to generate. Still, Vandy is a monster in her current form. Two Step gets mitigated with a Jandra kill, floating 1 means I can drop Gargoyle + tech up next turn and stay at 4 cards… I should be okay. If he draws fencer + Starlet that’s a bummer for sure but we’ll manage.

Firebat?? That’s an unexpected choice… Wasn’t even thinking about lobber, either… I have to expect at least 50/50 on Crashbarrow, but let’s tech one MoLaC in case I can line that up, tech up now (so I don’t get locked off it), and we’ll grab a Surprise Attack to bite back with in case I do get locked off. For sure hoping to draw the SotP next turn, as then no matter what I have a guaranteed tech break if I want it.

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

I’m confused by this; deteriorate only works on units yeah? You’re welcome to trade firebat into vandy but the flamethrower isn’t going to get the job done (and besides, vandy has resist 1)

That’s what I get for being too excited and not reading cards closely.

I’ll have to redo the turn tonight.

My Thoughts

If I had split the Surprise Attack draw to next turn, I would probably feel safe to lay MoLaC here, as I could nearly full-charge it the next turn. With the draw as it is, though, not much sense in playing MoLaC. So better to stall him out and get my dive-bomber online. Hopefully I can cycle quick enough with DP to get back to MoLaC. I’ll worker this one and tech the other, as I don’t want to worker Surprise Attack or Flagbearer, and I need Tenderfoot for StW cover. He’ll probably strike back with a Drakk Max play, but that won’t leave him enough gold to StW. Let’s just hope he doesn’t have Appel Stomp or Kidnapping…

Btw, gargoyle should’ve taken 1 damage from tower. Panda spirit makes that irrelevant for now since it’s still alive, but

okay, very obnoxious to deal with a flying 5/4, but if I can keep Storm scared of Shoddy Gliders…nice, clean turn. sadly didn’t luck into Harmony or StW

@FrozenStorm’s turn!

Looks like you overpaid for Jandra, since River’s maxband reduces her cost by $1.

Dadgum. Literally the first time I’ve seen that be relevant. I’ll float 1.

And just to be clear, my tech 2 was damaged (neglected to reflect in my previous summary, edited in now), so it will now be dead proper?
