Okay, so time for some thoughts, here:
Thoughts
This is only my 8th game of Codex and only my third game the Blackhand Scourge (or in fact, any non-starter faction). So, I don’t set my expectations for wining too high.
My initial thought was that there is a lot of Skeletons coming out. So I wanted to get some sparkshot in (Crypt Crawler) and also I need some way to control the amount of Skeletons. I’m a bit afraid there might be some form of sacrifice Skeletons to accelerate tech III.
I also did not want to counter Skeletons with Skeletons, so I will try to control them with Disease. Especially Orpal Gloor’s max-band should help. Put -1/-1 on a single Skeleton and have two others die at the same time.
My serious concern is the amount of Technician/Scavenger bonuses he will reap with those Skeletons. Maybe I can build up an engine to spring all at once to get rid of these Skeletons there.
Graveyard will help me keep the deck thin to get to my teched cards (exactly none drawn on turn three, curse you!) and play that Thieving Imp more often to keep his hand down. Though, is that even necessary with all the Skeleton galore?
