Of course Imp would hit my best opening card…
I’m tempted to fuck around with Young Treant and Verdant Tree, but I think patrolling Midori and floating for Forest’s Favor + Tiger Cub next turn is the safer play.
I’ll worker Ironbark cause it’s so vulnerable to StW.

First thoughts on Dreamfire’s deck:

  • Midori’s midband + Truth illusions with no abilities. I’ve got options for targeted effects though, so this seems an unlikely way for him to go. I guess he’s opening with Midori for early Favors?
  • I’m still not sure how to deal with Present in general, so that could be a problem. Disease might allow for decent trades, though, especially Gorgon.
  • Dreamscape + Tricycloid. Outside of Mind-Parry Monk or getting good hand steals, I think I just have to weather that storm, maybe get rid of Dreamscape with Versatile Style. Oh, or put down Injunction. OK, I’ve got a few options to deal with this, but they’re mostly pre-emptive.
  • Verdant Tree + early Present II + Moment’s Peace is maybe an option, but I doubt it. Orpals seem decent for waiting out a turn.

Specs:

  • Balance: Basilisks are always annoying, but I’m not so used to being on the receiving end. Geiger’s spells make Tiny Basilisks really nasty. However, Disease mostly has cheap units, and Law has Insurance Agents to balance things out. Main units would be Mimics and Basilisks, maybe Dragons. My air units (Disease/Discipline) are cheaper and could trade with Mimics if they’re Elite, and Disease’s Tech I units can deal with flying stuff too. I have enough cheap stuff I don’t think I care about Dragons too much, as long as I can keep my hand size stable. Not worried too much about this spec, unless it catches me with no anti-air or flying.
  • Truth: Plenty of targeted abilities for me to deal with this. Apart from the synergy with Midori, I need to make sure I have a way to reach a backline Macciatus. Spreading Plague or Cursed Ghoul could work, but are a bit pricey, and Ghoul has to wait a turn. Justice Juggernaut is even more pricey. My flying units can take him out without boosting. Injunction is great for reaching him if I have other options to take out sidelined illusions afterwards. It’s probably a good use of Grave’s Sword, too. A lot of those options require heros, so I need to be wary of Quince. Versatile Style might be needed for Eyes of the Chancellor.
  • Present: Still haven’t worked out how to deal with Present with any deck, really. I suppose you go for value plays, but Geiger makes that difficult. Even worse here is Quince, who can use Dreamscape to make Tricycloids death machines. Not sure what to do here, except go for value, with Gorgons/Insurance to keep my hand size stable.

As long as I mix in some flying or anti-air, I think I’m in reasonable shape going in. I’ll probably need to lean on Grave if I think Dreamfire’s going for Truth. Worth an early Sickness, too, I think.

Right, let’s look at the turn. Worst things that could happen next turn are a boosted Midori or an Ironbark Treant. Meanwhile, I have a Thieving Imp, plus either a Poisonblade Rogue, or a hero and a Pestering Haunt that can’t patrol. Is he bringing out Midori because he has a buff for next turn, or just to preserve his hand size? The Blade would be nice against Treant, or Midori if he survives. Against a boosted Midori… Graveyard, maybe? Then killing the Imp just means his hand gets hit again. That’s expensive for me, though. Yeah, I’ll just put Rogue down. I don’t want to worker the Haunt, but everything else seems potentially more useful for what I have in mind.

I want to tech Sickness, in case of Tiny Basilisk. Twins should be good for upping the pressure a bit after a slow start.

charnel_mouse could get a kill on Midori with a StW play, but that would be his entire turn.
I’ll double up on Argonauts since illusions and Tiny B’s are vulnerable to Orpal shenanigans.

What am I worried about appearing next turn? Mostly Basilisks or Argonauts. An Argonaut is fine, because I’m drawing into StW and Summon Skeletons next turn. Plague Spitter is nice if two Argonauts turn up, and helps if air units arrives later on. It’s a bit early for hand steal spells, so I’ll add a Tech II unit now and hope I don’t draw into it. I’m going to go with Disease, see if it can cope with Present.

Whiffed my Argos, even with the tech draw. Guess I’ll just rush to Potent B’s, to deal with Orpal. I’ll even play a Treant to increase my odds of drawing one. For my next cycle I might want a Free Speech.

Balance? Now! + Wandering Mimics, I guess, or Horselords. In that case, I think I’ll hang on to Summon Skeletons and worker the Javelineer instead, so I can get weenies to block any Overpower. Meanwhile, I’ll put in a crow to block Mimics in Elite, and Carrion Curse since there are a lot of potentially nasty spells in that codex.

I could maxband Orpal and kill the Prospector, or get a Graveyard down in preparation for later. It’s risky, but I think the former makes it harder for Dreamfire to bring out something that kills Orpal on the spot.

Potent B’s will definitely come in handy next turn. In the unlikely chance I get to keep my Mirror, I could even copy a Basilisk and kill something with it straight away (Mirror Basilisks are great because they can’t be popped).
The biggest danger right now is an Injunction on tech 1, but that would cost most of charnel_mouse’s gold for the turn.

charnel_mouse just spent a whole lot of resources to weaken my board, and we’re still pretty much at parity. I can use Mirror to clear the Gorgon, then drop a Basilisk to take control.
One thing I hadn’t considered is the negative synergy between Basilisks and Geiger spells… I guess he’ll be sitting this one out.
I’m teching a Nature Reclaims in anticipation of Plague Lab.

My gimped units are gonna die one way or another, I might as well trade them off on my terms. I’m happy to get rid of Spitter, which lets me at least threaten some air strikes.
I could use my last $2 to either make a mirror or play Midori. Since I’m expecting Aboms or Plague Labs to drop at any minute, I’ll forgo the mirror for now.
I should’ve teched Hallucination earlier, I didn’t consider its synergy with Fairie Dragons/Spore Shambler. And I’ll add T-Rex just in case this stalemate continues.

I was kinda hoping Quince would survive to cast Free Speech…
I can’t keep ignoring the threat of Death & Decay, so Orpal has to day. That means Grave would survive to hit + sword something (probably Fairie Dragon), but at least he can’t break my tech 3.
I got nothing I really want to worker, so I’ll settle on Nature Reclaims and tech another copy of it instead (plus, teching 2 cards might convince charnel_mouse that my tech 3 isn’t a threat yet).

I forgot to pay for a worker last turn (I did move a card over to the worker column, and draw the correct number of cards). Since it doesn’t change the amount of gold I start with this turn, I’ll assume it won’t change anything about your turn.

By the way, your Grave already used his sword :wink:

With Young Treant still in the deck, I have a 2/3 chance of digging up my T-Rex if I tap Geiger, which definitely seems worth it. If I happen to draw Rampant Growth instead, I can use it to kill Bigby, then play maxband Quince+Basilisk.

Got the Treant. Even if I don’t draw T-Rex immediately off it, I can flicker it with Geiger for another card.

Got it! That leaves me with 2 extra gold to maxband Geiger and flicker the T-Rex, for a total of 4 trashed workers! Should be GG.

Pffft, GG! I should’ve put in a D&D on that last cycle, apart from anything else I messed up.

GG WP!

Yeah, I wasn’t too concerned about D&D because of how small your hand was, but if you had teched a copy back on T5 you would’ve had a pretty good chance of getting to use it (and absolutely wrecking me).

I considered Rich Earth, since charnel_mouse’s deck isn’t too fast, but I guess things could still get out of control with some early Rambasa Twins. So I’ll play it safe.
