GG WP, I can’t outlast that. Takes so long to set anything up as blue, man lol… Costs so much just to prevent Meta from annihilating you that you have to cede to “death by normal tech 2 strength”
I’ll post a start to the final game back tomorrow, GG WP

Still not sure how much of an effect 1g deteriorate has had. I felt like it had the biggest impact on white, but that might just be because that matchup was so close to start. White probably shoulda been paired with Black in the boxed sets.

It’s been played less than it would have been I think, but yea, I don’t feel like it’s been game-breakingly bad for any matchup.

I really have no idea what’s going on… Jail feels like the best play, though perhaps Porkhand would be? Idk…

I think you card count might be off?
I killed TD, you drew, hand 5, deck 3. Then you cast lawful search hand 6, deck 2. Well, not 6, but you get the idea.
You’re right, I didn’t draw technician. I’m coming down with some kinda nasty bug, but maybe we should roll back to that point? Or watchu think?

Sure roll back to the lawful search draw and go from there.
Okay, I played the one extra card I drew, Spectral Aven, but otherwise turn is unchanged. Back to you

I mean, its not like I would have meta in my next hand, and you could kill Vandy, by maxbanding Oni with enough gold to still worker. Probably a bit extravagant, considering i could then kill oni easily enough. Of course, I also have enough gold to fetch meta…
Eh, I dunno. You avoided leveraging Oni very much that match. Maybe that virus is getting to you
Didn’t feel like there was much of an opportunity to leverage! Tried to tech aggressively, but you had just the right read on me (and I whiffed on turn 3). Could have just traded him on turn 2 I guess, but…?
Anyways, I think that both
I did not reveal the full balance ramifications through my cruddy play, and
The 1g Deteriorate Change doesn’t significantly affect Black’s dominance in the matchup
In general, I agree that it probably most affected the White/Black matchup, and given that black is pretty strong against everything else, it would 100% be worth making the change to make it 1g.
What are your closing thoughts? Do you think we should try blue again to get a better read?

We could play the other side and me take up blue and you on black. I do think blue could use a little more testing.

I’d be game but will have to play pretty sparsely this weekend: New Year’s Eve is like Christmas to my in-laws, and we host at my place, so I have lots of shopping / cooking / cleaning to do through tuesday.

Okay, sorry for the delay but I can take a crack at the black side of the matchup here. GL HF!
