Option 1, we shore up, build tech 2, deploy taxman on defense, get ready for t3 sprint. option 2, max Zane and kill treant in scav, mad man kills prospector, we don’t tech up but all they have is Arg. we’re also stuck at tech 1 for ages. I think we have to tech up.

No tech 2 which is a shame, hopefully his three cards dont have any either… gonna build a tower to counter anarchy’s stealth and leave centaur out front to kill attacking GPt and hopefully one other attacker, wisp in lookout to ward off Zanes maxband as well as fire spells

Option 1, max Zane (7), shove Centaur into scav, steal money with taxman trade (6), Zane kills tech, we both draw and I have 3 gold to play something. That leaves Zane fairly safe and increases my hand size to 4. option 2, Ember Sparks Centaur three times, Zane kills, 2 spare gold for Drakk, hand size 3 and more stats on board. leaves a wisp on board. probably best option since it leaves Flame Arrow and Kidnapping on the table next turn.

Whiffed Kidnapping, which would be hilarious. Now my spells are backwards. Only real option I have that kills Ancient is max Drakk, kill treant, frenzied monkey kills Ancient. or, charge Musketeer (4), monkey (6), technician Drakk and Tower (9), wait no have to midband Drakk then. meh.

considering hes only played one tech 2 so far he almost defnitely has some in his hand, plus since Args midband seems to counter a tower fairly well i dont mind leaving it up, gonna not tech cards this turn with the hope that makes him aim hard for knocking down t3 even though i havent actually got any in deck

Hmm. got to worry about birds and dragon, so Fire will be most helpful here. got to keep initiative to avoid Safe Attacking being viable. Next turn, Zane plus BRO kills Rook expensively. probably do not want? but it’s an option.
Hmm. 6 gold, mid Zane survives the trade and then maxes off of Rook. I lose tech 1 chances but can apply a lot of pressure.

Now this is spicy! mid Zane, kill scav, I have 2 gold left for mad man and worker. no tech 1, but I get a max Zane and clear the board. Zane is my worst maxband hero, but he’s the only one who nets me a gold for worker. Zane spells aren’t incredibly useful early game: sharks get blocked by small units, detonate is expensive, chaos mirror lacks good targets, max anarchy hits basically nothing. so I’ll tech Lobbers and hope not to draw them. follow up with fire spell tech, then tech 2
Also, not only does this satisfy my bloodlust, but it blocks Birds next turn!
@CarpeGuitarrem woah i forgot about this over the weekend sorry i took so long to reply, good turn btw^ i completely forgot about Zane’s midband ability (i wouldnt hv minded u killing rook if it meant no worker) P2T2

No flip into tech 2, fine. Ember Sparks and Flame Arrow to finish Grave after he potentially breaks my tech 1 and kills Zane. Ah, right, if I double Lobber I can still Tech 2 and almost break tech 1, which is close to good enough! Grave gets to kill Zane with a sword, but can only attack one thing…
Yeah I’m very curious to see what happens here. I unfortunately don’t have the gold to play Recruiter, a hero, and Charge in the same turn, but Recruiter is still big and beefy and scary.
