Hmm, I really want to play the Resurrector here, but I need to get rid of a flyer and get a ground blocker down to have a chance to keep it safe. That basically means I have to maxband Garth, fetch the Stewardess, and bounce a Bird, because the Nullcraft can immediately come back. It’s still pretty dicey, if the Resurrector goes down here then I’m as good as dead.

I'm glad not to see more Tech IIs, knowing it was built on turn 3 !
What surprises me most is you building this early tech II, which was fine as I couldn’t punish you from it, and then not playing any and not even bringing one with Garth ? I mean, Second Chances are fine but teching sound units before should have helped, I think
I’d been hoping to draw into some of my Turn 3 cards more quickly, but yeah, you’re right. Haven’t used Garth before, so I need to pay more attention to fetching possibilities.

Keeping it simple and bringing in two Bone Collector to keep my gold costs down. I don’t have any anti-air at this stage with Garth out, and I’m not sure what to do about that other than bringing in high-stat units to get rid of Rook.
I think I want to avoid relying on Second Chances this time around, in case Marto’s wised up from last game and techs in Assimilation early. In which case, I’d better worker away Safe Attacking, too.

Not quite sure about my teching decisions here, but Twins might be good to fuel Necromancer and get more Skeletons up. They’ve got enough health to deal with Taxmen, too.
Putting Garth in Elite so Zane has to trade or midband for the kill.
I need to deal with Nullcraft, and prepare for stealthed attacks, and prepare for any Steam Tanks stalling for Tech III. Teching in Undo should do OK for the latter, and a Tower seems the most efficient way to deal with the others: Stewardess only deals with Nullcraft, Versatily Style only deals with stealthed units, and for a single turn at that. Anarchy doesn’t seem to have many ways to deal with lots of small units, so Necromancy seems OK here? I’ll put in a Skeleton Lord to get that going, then Doom Grasp next turn might be wise.
