I’d like to just crash through bansa’s patrol and take out a building, but I have to either destroy Tech I and leave Midori as my only ground patroller, or patrol with Panda too but only destroy the tower. Given bansa would have gold for a maxband Zane/Drakk plus 3 gold for units, I don’t fancy my chances, especially when I’m gambling on getting a Circle down. I’m just going to put out a ton of units to delay my cycle, and stop Zane shoving things around.

Thoughts
Bringing in a Dragon to kill of the Firebat seems like an obvious play here, but it doesn’t leave me with much on the ground if I build Tech II. I’m going to delay for a turn, and get the Cub back down instead. Or I could midband Midori, run everything into Drakk to kill him, and be left with a Level 6 Midori on 1 health. Maybe not. Let’s spend the other 2 gold to draw with Treant first.
… Hmm, I could exhaust the Prospector and put the Ironbark Treant down instead, or the Spore Shambler. Pretty much any of them will probably die this turn, but the 3-gold options can’t be killed by a lone Drakk. They all get killed by a Kidnapped Dragon, but I can put it in Lookout so bansa has to skip Tech II again to do that, or they can all kill Midori if they’re Kidnapped. Think I’m better off just putting the down the Cub and having more blockers.
