Not totally sure what I want to do against Black yet, but I know I do want to get the Fargo down to get some board. Has to go Scavenger just in case he feels like StW on it. Mox + Boot Camp isn’t an awful idea probably (he doesn’t have great removal for it), Zane antics is probably good against Black so I could probably play a long tech 1 and make some waves that way… I’ll have to think on this some more as his board starts to develop! One thing’s for sure, I need to beware Vandy crushing early.

Skeletons definitely mean I can play an extended tech 1 phase, Stewardess and Boot Camp should assist with that plan nicely. I’ll get this Mox a little beefy and come hard with Zane antics if I whiff the draw. Trade off a skeleton with the Fargo, try to get a kill on Garth, have to be a little careful for Lich’s Bargain but I think I’ll be okay with the stewardess to help!

Man so many skeletons! I think I’m building towards what I want in this game though, pressure on the board early, cards that stick nicely and keep my deck reasonably thin… I don’t know, I have a feeling I’m going to get overrun somehow, but I’m doing my best to stave that off… would have been nice to get the Stewardess last hand! Always rough whiffing on your teched cards.

Woof :_( Did not see that kind of drop coming… But that’s why I brought the Sharks in! Teching in a Monkey to trade up on gold w/ those (or snipe garth from rezzing a tech 2) and a Steam tank in case I need to turtle for Gunships.

Workering one of the Boot Camps, not actually going to be as useful as previously hoped, Temporal Research will prove more valuable I think. At least he doesn’t have a Hero’s Hall? No Vandy shenanigans…

I think your hand size is off, you started with 4, workered and played Archery, which should leave you with 2 to discard yea?

I’m killing technician in this turn so I don’t think you need to redraw the card you would have drawn anyway, just don’t draw up to 6 :slight_smile: (unless I’m missing something?)

Well, I don’t want a Cursed Crow to get cheated in so I’m giving Garth a breather. I expect to have Zane die to the Spitter after this Sharks play, and he’ll likely pick the levels up onto Vandy, so teching in an Origin Story in case of emergency, and another Steam Tank as I think my win condition at this point is Gunships. As long as there aren’t two Crows hitting the board right next turn, I’ll likely be able to protect a tech 3, and then it’s up to the Draw Gods (fingers crossed).

Only thing I DONT want is for him to immediate maxband Vandy for PS to get a tech 2 kill. I really want to get this steam tank on the board.

UGHHHHH He gets Zane AND my tech 2, why did he tech Sickness AND 2xPS?? And how did it get drawn at the PERFECT moment?

Grabbing an OC and a Gunship, I want one in the deck and Cadet will give me something to do with my extra cards if I draw nicely.

I’m in desperation mode here, luckily I get the Origin Story drawn! And I bottom deck the gunship, which in hindsight means I should not have patrolled Stewardess in technician but what are you going to do, cards are never too bad of a thing. I’ll probably tech the other Gunship and an Undo maybe? Hopefully it’s my last tech…

Disease is a beautiful, beautiful monster and I deeply pity all of the people who swap it out for Finesse or something. Unfortunately, resist 2 isn’t enough to make Origin Story not great.

Going for broke, make him come at me and get my tech 2, and I’ll try to pick up the pieces after he probably does (Orpal maxband and a fresh skele can take out Nullcraft and Stewardess, which leaves cadet -1/1 and prynn to stand up to Garth, Gorgon, the ready Skeleton, Orpal himself and the Crow. So he can punch through if he wants to with just what’s on board)

[details=My Thoughts]
Okay, here we go again, I’m taking the 5/6 to not draw the pirate ship w/ Zane technician to ensure I draw it next turn… and it’s the steam tank. Not ideal (1 gold shy of laying it, would rather have it available next turn) but not catastrophic. All I can do is hope that this is enough to keep him from taking the tech 3. Probably concede next turn if I can’t get it this turn. Wish I’d drawn the Monkey to trade off the gorgon…

No, it’s not. That Tech trade worked out pretty well for me, unfortunately.

MERCY!

GG WP @EricF

You read me like a book, very nice teching. My Boot Camp techs were not a good choice, but with that said, it still hurt to whiff the Stewardess AND boot camp on turn 3… :_(

GG! Yeah, going back over this now, that cycle seemed to have some pretty rough timing. From what I’ve seen of this deck, my biggest concerns were infinite value off a giant Mox, Zane coming out of nowhere to murder my heroes, and getting too swamped by the Peace engine to push through and break things, so I built around cutting the buffs off and keeping the board as clear as possible for as long as possible. Plague Spitters also just happen to be a good way to keep from getting plinked by Nullcraft forever.

I’m not sure how I feel about Anarchy here - granted, things could have gone pretty differently if I hadn’t managed to keep you off the steam tanks for so long. Successfully stalling out to Gunships would’ve ruined me, and it looks like you were basically one turn shy of that.
