The only things that deal with Mox are Blood Tech II Ogre and, in the meantime, Deteriorate. However, instead I need to deal with his skeletons before they grow out of hand. Nullcraft will work fine here, and I can even Assimilate Skeletal Archery, and use it myself…

I thought you’d also lost a card from your cycle, but I think it’s just that you didn’t put battle suits in your last post.

Yeah, I don’t see a better plan than just taking a bunch of damage and hoping to come out of it OK.

GG, I think it might have been quite different if you’d had Garrison last turn…

16

I could have played it, but I think Double Crashbarrow would have been sufficient.

By the way, here is your fully lethal line:

8 gold (8)
Drakk (6)
Deteriorate SQL
BC trades with Vir, Drakk to L3
Garth trades with Scavenger, my Garth to L3
Skeleton kills my Garth, Drakk to L5
Bone Collector and 3x Skeleton hit Base for 10
Blood Lust Drakk and a new Skeleton (4)
Max Drakk (3)
Thieving Imp, gains Haste
Drakk (4), Skeleton (3), and Imp (3) deal the final 10.

I knew it was there - I didn’t even look at lines of play that didn’t involve maxing Garth…

Anyway, good luck in the rest of the tournament, and thanks as always for organising!
