GL HF @Bob199, I feel like I’ve teched almost everything in this deck (I have played all three of my tech 2 specs this tourney, as well as 2 different spells for all 3 of my heroes!), so idk how much wackier I can make things than that game against @EricF… I guess watch out for TerrasQ Discord? I haven’t done that yet 
Or Corpse Catapult?

Woof… that is a really problematic start for me. No way to play a hero safely without taking a 50/50 gamble on Hook. And the really tricky thing is I have no patrol-able units in my upcoming hand, so I kind of have to play two units here to keep a tech 1 building safe for turn 3.

I’m trying to think like EricF here and play for tradeoffs. He’s got the pressure advantage so much so that I can’t play a hero safely at all. Discord could help even the odds a lot, but not so much so that I can really count on it clearing his pressure down very well… Lich’s Bargain + Garth + Tech 2 might do it? I mean, assuming my tech 1 survives, which is no sure thing… Tower / Imp / Summon Skele + Extra Skeleton is an okay backup plan though. Okay then, I guess I’m going to tech 2x Lich’s Bargain, then maybe Doom Grasp + Nether Drain? I’m really not sure, but the one thing I do know is I can’t really depend on my tech 1 building being up next turn, so this is the safest assurance I can give myself of turning the board in my favor.
We’ll keep Jav in Scavenger, just in case he leaves tech 1 up and goes straight base or something, gives me a chance to do tech 2 + extra skeleton, or just float some gold
…
Drew a Lich’s Bargain, good deal, we’ll see where this goes!

Debated a bunch of different combinations of StW, Imp, Make another Skeleton, and Hero’s Hall, but it boils down to that:
That I opted into going down to 3 cards. It delays my reshuffle and thus, access to Nether Drain, but also probably gives me another turn to stack the deck with like Skeletal Lord + Nether Drain / Doom Grasp / Discord (depending on where he goes next turn
I still almost certainly want a Gargoyle in the deck, as well as a Nether Drain, so we stick to that for now. Next turn almost certainly is Worker + Tech 2 + second Lich’s Bargain, and pray I survive birds long enough to pull it off!
It’s certainly a lot harder playing this matchup as P2!
@FrozenStorm, you said you went down to 6 workers when you cast Lich’s Bargain, but your turn summary lists 7 workers.
Thanks for the correction, @Bob199. IGNORE ME!

Okay, chance to make a HUGE play here with free levels, I think I need to take it! By Fetching & Patrolling a Gargoyle, I cut him off from free-killing Garth (well from anything but Kidnapping, which would be awfully expensive to kill an already maxbanded Garth, or some shenanigans of like Bloodlust + Tech1 unit + hook or something that I can prevent with another skeleton in patrol). And along with maxband Garth and the Gargoyle, I stack the board so huge in my favor that without cards, he’ll struggle to put a lot of units down. I need blocking bodies to put in my deck, so I’ll do that with Nimble Fencer, and since I think it’s so unlikely that he’ll Garth soon, how about Death Rites? That should help me end the game, so let’s do it
…
Yowza pray for no Kidnapping cuz it’d be dope to burn him down with Death Rites here!
I was thinking, “bloody hell, that’s a gutsy play” (particularly with the opponent playing Blood), followed by “hang on, it’s only T4, how was your base down to 5 already?” - then I checked your summary. I think that missing 0 is quite important here! 
Yes, sorry about that! Fixed it
I have had several games where my base hit 10hp before my 2nd turn, never discount the red aggresion!
gg, the only chances I have at coming back this game (discords) are both at the bottom of my deck =\
As for analysis, I hope people aren’t expecting much, as there isn’t much to say lol.
My deck has a glaring weakness to unit hordes, much like how @Penatronic 's deck had a glaring weakness against agro heroes. Frozen knows how to play the MU and is going Garth, ergo not much I can do unless I get lucky, which clearly did not happen (T3 discord/T4 Nest Split) If there’re any other questions people want answered, feel free to ask.
Props to @FrozenStorm for winning it all, and @EricF for running yet another smooth tourney
Woah GG WP @Bob199! I definitely felt like this was a strong position but didn’t expect that it was game, that rook + Sensei start is really terrifying as a p2 that wants to go heavy on heroes!
Someone pull up that game where Frozen went all out on EricF’s base and got it to something like 5hp on turn 3, and got it to 2hp before folding.
grats frozenstorm on your first championship!
Now i double dare you saying you are just a mediocre player again!
I always told you that youre good <3
