GG WP! That game was terrifyingly close - I thought I was going to get completely blown out early, and then again with your massive swing turn from Firebird + bloodlust.

@EricF

Strix, what were you avoiding by not putting Dragon in SQL?

I was scared of Entangling Vines, which is why I didn’t patrol the dragon.

Really good game. I had lethal next turn unless I died or you got rid of dragon somehow. I took a chance that you might just barely not have lethal and it clearly didn’t pay off. Good luck in the rest of the tournament.
