I am tragically annoyed with myself that I teched dreamscape instead of tax collector. Dreamscape was a silly idea, and then I had to build a tower instead of a tech lab, so it was just all around silly. And I could have waited to tech dreamscape until needed…

Activating Might of Leaf and Claw is pretty much the only chance I stand, he’s got too much on the board for anything else.

Building Inspector finishes your base, GG!
I’m up for going again, if you are? I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about haste against blue rather than red, but Manufactured Truth can really do some work.

My opening comments last game about Murkwood Allies being bad against Sparkshot from Peace makes no sense, that’s Onimaru.
Keeping the Spore Shambler around in case of early illusions.
Given the only ““anti-air”” Blue starts with is the Spectral Aven, I’m wondering whether I can risk thinning my patrol by teching in a Gemscout Owl, and relying on Spore Shambler and targeted abilities/spells to deal with Aven. Maybe not, given the Manufactured Truth debacle last game.
Going for growth runes seems like a good idea for killing illusions or keeping up with peace, but I might need to bring in extra Argagarg and/or a Giant Panda or something so I’m not relying on Murkwood. Huntresses would be efficient against Brave Knights and Air Hammers, and drive the Aven off any Owls. I have no idea at the moment how to respond to Law, but that doesn’t seem to get specced often.
Onimaru’s going to be nasty for my wisps if he’s teched Elite Training, but I don’t have to worry about that for this turn’s patrol. Hopefully the Elite panda will stop him from hitting the backline with anything apart from the Traffic Director, but the Prospector is definitely a goner.
I have two choices here: Bring in Argagarg for free blockers, or bring in Midori and threaten an early Circle of Life on the owl to get an early Blooming Ancient. The second would get me on the offensive a bit faster, as long as I can get decent blockers down before zhaver’s first techs come out. I’m going to risk that, and hope I draw Young Treant early enough to get some teched blockers in on time.
You forgot to make a worker, though you did pay for it, so you should redo your draw. Put everything in your discard, minus the worker, and just hit “draw 1” 5 times (make sure you don’t have too many tech cards in there, should only be 2 tech cards in the discard, not 4, at this point). Also make sure the tech choice column is empty.
Then you can make your two new tech choices, and carry on with your turn.

I could really go nuts and play arrest and MT and kill Midori. Seems like an over reach though.

No luck with drawing the Owl and the Circle. Oh well. Circle would only get me a Tech I right now, which isn’t a break even, so I’m going to wait until it can have a bigger impact. Heroes’ Hall so I can bring in Argagarg or Calamandra if needed, and on the off-chance he’s teched a Tax Collector. EDIT: Building Inspector stops the Hall, I’ll float it for now and hope for a big next turn with the Circle.
