You had me cornered real good in last game and my forfeit was near. What about Max Vandy popping flagbearer and Shadow Blade Hound so the Mirror pops as well? In T8.
I really should have considered Vandy’s maxband there, you’re right… I have plenty of practice playing against her, but I need more practice playing as her.

Gonna try leading with Dark Pact this time so I can spend starter cards more freely. Debated taking the Graveyard instead of Vandy here, but Jandra’s not enough of a deterrent to an Onimaru trade without Vandy waiting to collect free levels.
Oh wow, what an amazing play. He takes my Jandra out of commission, making her a liability, and he sets up the chance to copy it and hit me with a 3/3 overpower of his own. If he does, he won’t need to worry about retaliation damage, so I should consider Quince as a defender. And Flagbearers for my tech choice.

Oh crap, now I’m at risk of AoW. Nothing I can do about that except try to strip it from his hand, however… and on that note, Carrion Curse is an excellent investment.

If he hits my base with his other AoW, I have to worker my Pacts, and that means my card draw will be weak and I’ll likely be too inefficient to push back. Patrolling to survive Quince attacks.

Okay, I can work with this. Surprising he didn’t kill Orpal when he had the chance. That Tech II finesse is concerning, though, if he drops Maestro and a few fencers, I’m done for… but nothing I can do about that for the moment.
You mean does sacrificing the Mirror require targeting it? I don’t think so… I believe the targeting only happens to the things you put runes on, but I can try to verify that.
