I think censorship council is a legit strategy, not a win more. If you’re both struggling for board, a censorship council can completely gum up their play, allowing you to take control while they have to focus on destroying it.

I guess the t2 split could have been a little better. I deliberated about this patrol a lot… I think teching birds is too good to pass up, and I’m afraid he’ll just throw in an Entangling Vines for my Argonaut I want something else with a high threat level to play.
There’s a number of lines he can take to kill Rook if I put him anywhere in the patrol, though they mostly require him having bombaster and madman… However I feel like I’ve had too many games that were just fucking ruined by someguy getting the nuts draw and an early hero kill. This patrol is sacrificing my poor poor sensei but at least gives me some good value for it.

Safe attacking + argonaut seems like a pretty good deal, but I’m bit afraid of entangling vines.
the potential for healing with safely attacking arognauts and rook is just too hard to pass up, gotta play the savior. Not sure between second Argo or Sentry, but at worst I should be on even footing with him on Birdies next turn and I can get in the Sentry next cycle.
Aaaand I think I’m going with Scribe. I want to get back up on cards and get to T2 ASAP for a Censorship council… seems like my best response to Molac, censorship and snapbacking zane into play to kill him, preventing a sharks paly.

so he can exactly afford molac + zane + sharks next turn… Doesn’t sound good. plan a is to get censorship going but since I don’t have an answer for an executed molac I need to either kill his t2 or snapback for zane to prevent sharks… he set up such a tempting trap with that free rook kill.
I see 3 lines:
A) midband rook and kill t2 with Rook and Savior. Advantage: no MoLaC this turn. Disadvantage: If he has Sharks he could kill Rook. He can probably regain board pretty easily as I ignored his hero.
B) snapback to zane, kill him, do a little bit of damage to the T2 and midband rook. Advantage: no sharks next turn. Disadvantage: he could still drop MoLaC and start the clock. Even though he gets MoLaC down he probabably wont be able to add counters to it till atleast another turn. Though any Zane activiation gives him 3, which is a fuckin’ lot. The timer would be on and I’d need a pretty concise way to win quickly.
C) skip worker, kill his shit safely with Savior and Smoker (what he wants me to do), then maxband rook and hit his base, tech EQs. Then I give him the full chance to do his dastardly shit, but I’ll still have 3 units, maxband Rook and pretty much guaranteed EQs coming down. Pretty Yolo, but I guess I don’t really win the long game as eventually he’ll get MoLaC down and activated.

I don’t know what this wishful thinking card is but I have an EQ in hand. GG.
Certainly not my original game plan, but I guess there’s one way to deal with MoLaC.
I’m so glad I took like 8 hours to mull over that turn, as I almost just teched, then I almost didn’t just yolo for EQ. I’m sure I’d be SOL if I hadn’t yolo’ed
