Yeah, saw that Injunction coming. Desperation time. You still have a Hound in play, correct? Wasnât listed in your summary.
[details=Starting Hand and Thoughts]Plasmodium, Stewardess, Assimilate. Draw Fading Argonaut off of TECHN death. Maximum ugh.
Injunction hit at just the worst time, as I guess was expected. This build played well enough around Community Service but not Injunction.
Heâs stashed a card; I assume it was his Tech 3?
My hand is so bad that I need to play Vir to see if I canât improve it. I also need to see about teching game changing cardsâŚgiven that Iâm on a shoestring budget and stuck with Tech 1 stuff, that Now! and Promise of Payment.
Bigtime stroke of luck as RnD hits. Figured Iâd have to see about coming back next turn, but maybe I can cobble something together here.
Unfortunately Iâm 1dmg short of clearing out my threats 
So Iâm stuck with the choice between Bigby and Tech 3. If he hadnât stashed this turn, Iâd feel pretty good about leaving the Tech 3 up.

This is correct, reteller does not replace the dies effect with the word âinsteadâ but rather adds this action to the end fo the âdiesâ sequence of events. Basically Reteller digs illusions out of the discard and puts it in hand.

Yes Reteller of Truthâs effect let dying abilities (drawing from Technician, etc.) trigger. Itâs kinda OP for sure ^^â

Oops Tech II Sorry :x
Iâm so stupid lol ^^â
Iâll concede here, as I donât see how my hand possibly helps me, and Geiger has no chance of drawing anything useful this turn. Very gg! Injunctions tagged me at just the right time!
GG, thanks for the match ^^
You played better than me, I was very lucky in drawing injunction / liberty gryphon at the exact turn I needed them ^^
Plasmodium is very dangerous to play against Blue Starter because of Manufactured Truth, but you did well as keeping a lot of forecast guys has a good synergy with Future spec, and Truth has problems to deal with flying things : )
Yeah, I figured I was struggling with gold as Purple P1, and got tagged with an early building inspector, plus Iâm leery of big units with Community Service in play so I decided to try out a cheap Future rune-manipulation line. I hadnât done that before, and I figured that since Blue usually starts pretty slow Iâd have a chance to develop it, but I still think I got the engine going one turn too late. But youâre totally rightâŚPlasmodium was a really bad play against Blue starter and I wonât make that particular mistake again 
Forecast units are pretty much immune to Community Service. The bigger concern with forecast units is mirror copies. It is possible for a mirror to copy an Omegacron. Quinceâs midband doesnât use the target symbol, so untargetable doesnât block it. Omegacron is a fantastic targets for mirrors. Hive on the other hand is a terrible mirror copy because even if you did create 5 stingers, the mirror dies at end of turn and takes the stingers with it. Hive is however a great community service target, so tradeoffs.

Ah yeah, good point. Really anything hasty is threatened by Quinceâs mirrors.
Surprise Quince Mirrors won me a game against invisible glorious ninjas once.
