thank the maker I finally got out PG. I think that might be game. Weā€™ll see. Definitely taking out Grave as I think he is the only one that can kill or disable PG.

Iā€™m pretty sure you have this, but thereā€™s a slim, slim hope.

EDIT: I have no Tech III; that was another possible line.

Heā€™s got me all nervous with this slim chance business. Better be careful i donā€™t do anything stupid.

Is the Bloodlust on Drakk and BRO or on Drakk and Steamtank #2? Seems like if BRO is getting a boost, Steamtank canā€™t have haste.

Also, I assume youā€™d want Jaina out earlier to get the free levels off Rook if you can kill him?

Alternatively, skipping Jaina and worker, and midbanding Drakk, would get you the ATK you need.

25

Oh my goodness. I wrote out one turn, then changed my mind and ended up with a melded turn that makes no sense. Iā€™ll edit now.

26

Used to happen to me all the time! (Still does a bit more often than Iā€™d like) No worries. (:

27

Okay. Fixed the original post. Also will remove worker from my WORKER pile, and place in discard. Also will draw final card from draw pile (to account for not worker-ing). ---- Iā€™ll get this down SOMEday

No Gunship. But the Steamtanks should do. Great game man.

Yar, very well-played.

Your response to my opener was very good. I should have gone defensive there, but I have a hard time resisting a clean kill, and I think you only would have been more devastating with BRO still on the table.

The double-kidnapping tech was very good. I know it was lucky to draw them both that turn, but still. I simply didnā€™t expect it; one, maybe. That really swung the game around.

I obviously was trying for TPoS (first time trying it out; I donā€™t normally play White), and it seemed like I was a turn out of sync all game. You did an excellent job of teching removal to keep me clear as you worked towards Gunships and Steamtanks. Very well, done. (:

Thanks man. I just read through the Thoughts sections, lol. We were on the same page so often (IPN ad Chaos Mirror, haha). Yeah. When I drew both Kidnappings, I was bummed at first, but got so lucky that you played two good tech 2ā€™s to use them on.

I felt down the whole game because i never got to leave anything on the board longer than a turn until later in the game. Iā€™ve been burned hard by Grave before, so i was going to kill that mother no matter what as often as i could.

but if youā€™re going to TPoS, i think you went the right way. brilliant to Build Tech Lab for the diverse Tech 2 items. im never seen so much use out of the Porcupines.

Thanks for playing man. I appreciate it.

Reading over your thoughts: great to read, really well thought out.

Yeah, the slim chance was drawing Versatile Style to disable Gunship. I was drawing 2 cards out of 5 from Technician/Surplus, and 2 cards in that 5 were VS. If Iā€™m calculating correctly, thatā€™s at least a 7/10 chance?

I still think you would have had it, but I would have hung on a bit longer!

Iā€™m off to bed, but thanks again for the game! Have a good one, and enjoy the forums!
