None of the cards in my hand are jumping out at me as must play in the first turn. Think summoning a hero might be a better choice. Not too sure, honestly.
Edit: Er, apparently not! Lol. Playing Neo Plexus instead of Max.
just as a heads up, by summoning a hero instead of a unit, you have left more cards in your deck, preventing you from drawing the teched cards you’ll want to get later on in the game.
do you want to redo your turn and try to drop a card from your hand instead?

Feels more econmical to let his units come to mine - I guess we’ll see how that works out! I’m not hopeful though.
Tech choices were difficult. Seer + Knight of the Conclave seems like I can keep a (small) presence on the board sooner and later, for pretty cheap, at the cost of hand size.

Hmm, not liking my options. Let’s trade away Cal to avoid giving him free levels. Teaching in double centaur since they will definitely help hold off his strong tech 1’s.

Well I think trading Fargo for Cal+Panda was slightly in my favour.
Very glad Knight of the Conclave came off the deck with Temporal Research.
Worried about insanely buffed Green units stomping me… still not convinced it’s worth giving the patroller bonuses to clear his defenders though. “Live and let live” seems risky though, but still looks more economical to have him come to me. “Play Learn Lesson, Forecast 1.”
So, full disclosure, I failed to shuffle in Fading Argonaut and Temporal Research in my last reshuffle. Still learning how to properly use the template spreadsheet. I’m going to attempt to unwind things and redraw my hand for this turn.
FYI, in my experience it’s best to try to use the Revision History feature of Google Sheets rather than hitting Undo a bunch. Makes it easy to hit exactly where you made the mistake without causing any potential weirdness with scripts. Apologies if you already knew about it, but so many new players here have never even heard of it that I find it best to bring it up as soon as possible.
Welp, this took me a lot longer to prepare than I’d care to admit… but I am learning. About spreadsheets.

Going Tech II (I guess?). Teching Reaver - seems like a useful way to eliminate heroes and generally lower the body count on his board. A surplus might be useful to power it… hmm starting to sound pretty pricey really.
Really not sure if rushing to Tech II was the right idea, but we shall see!

Well my buildings are intact. But this might be slipping away from me. Going to play all mah cards and hope to get the Void Star causing him problems next turn. Really haven’t done enough (anything!) to disrupt his game. Still feelling more economical for him to come to me though.Teching Stewardess as a counter to the green tokens… porbably should have done that before now.
@Akiata turns 4 and 5 both prynn could have attacked, t4 killing wisp, t5 the YT. it wouldn’t have changed the board much, but would have given her time runes.

Oookay, I had cunning plans of midbanding Prynn and then manipulating her time runes to cause card draw issues, but having just checked the rulings on codexcarddb that doesn’t work. The rune has to be removed due to fading during upkeep. Oh well. Maybe next turn?
It occurs to me now that Vortoss Emblem might be a useful counter to things like dinosize and rampant growth. Probably shoulda teched that, but I’m not sure Prynn will be around to cast it by the time it comes out.

Yah, so he could have me on his next turn I think.
Obviously Temporal Research woulda been really handy this turn to help me cycle through my deck. Vir peeked but no go.
I’ll burn everything to get an Omegacron out, and maybe that’ll stall a bit? Seems a lost cause, but I’m learning so let’s see just how detrimental it is to do… assuming I survive that long.
