So, I could bet everything on Sacrifice The Weak not being in hand at the moment… which isn’t all that unreasonable so let’s go with it!

gg!

Not having Stewardess really crimps this version of Purple+Peace to fight through Lich’s Bargain.

GG!

I’m really surprised I won that. I felt like you were way ahead until I got Tech II up - Future is crazy expensive, and I can trade very efficiently. Lich’s Bargain is very strong - maybe too strong…

Lich’s bargain is expensive, which means it is either GREAT or TERRIBLE, and no where in between

It won me a lot of matches in this tournament, I don’t think it was ever terrible (although admittedly I didn’t tech it every game).

Right, you didnt tech it every game.

Now that this is over, @EricF would love to hear why you went Future Tech II in this matchup despite playing Peace engine all tournament.

After thinking through various scenarios, I determined that the Peace engine could not beat Lich’s Bargain backed up with Crashbarrow(s), so I had to try something different.

If the Void Star had survived, I think I had a chance to win the base race by just powering up and attacking the base directly twice, while dropping as many warm bodies as possible in the meantime to dodge Sacrifice the Weak.
