dang, that is freaking scary. glad it never came to fruition. feel free to post your T1 whenever you get a chance.

If it’s alright with you, ill be switching to [BALANCE] / Feral / Finesse.

82

just a couple of things: blooming ancient can’t give runes to heroes and OS on midvandy requires paying for resist.
on post 35 @codexnewb missed the opportunity to summon careless musket instead of geiger (useless at the moment) careless would kill rook, bro woud take out jandra, imo turning the tables

lol. how could i have possibly summoned and hasted bro AND Musketeer post 35? i worked musketeer post 33, and summon bro post 33.

@Legion

84

my bad, i misread the hand/workers :frowning:
the rest still stands

85

I had actually moved the runes to Jandra, but it ended up saying Vandy in my turn summary. I do have an unfortunate tendency to mix up their names, but usually I catch it before I submit the post.

he’s delaying a little to get a strong turn 3. I guess i can do the same (especially if he doesnt have time sprial in his second hand.

cal and potentially handle his tech 1 with stealth.

plan is nimble fencers into wandering mimics.

go down a card to get the gold advantage next turn

playing it riskey here…teching straight into wandering mimics. patrol wisp in scav to maximize my gold and making it easier to tech 2 on turn 3. playful panda should let me to patrol strong enough to protect tech 2. worst case, if cal survives, i can tap for a tiger.

Against Feral, I have to rely on a Tower for a meager defense against stealth. Vortoss Emblem would be effective against Rampant Growth and Spore Shambler, but nothing else. I’m playing the Argonaut now to try and float him for time counters next turn, but if he dies I can’t get a full-powered Research off without a lucky draw, hence making him Technician.

well, perfect, i draw into only one WM, which means ill getone next turn guarenteed. now, he could drop a prynn origin story, but even if he get Cal out, ill bring out midori to prep for his flying on my turns

game winner…need a way to deal with his prynn rewind strategy. probably need nimble fencers to spread that haste around

sooo, rewind doesnt work on tech 3’s…just saying. t rex for the big win. i can even just patrol him and then bring nimble fencers and mimics out after for a huge swing turn.

hoping to deal with his KOTC with T Rex. im at least safe from origina story and rewind for a turn as well.

hmmm, nice play with the double seer’s. i think i might just bring out a fencer instead of a second wandering mimc, just to save the gold. then his fargo will just die intead of me trading a unit into it.

that leaves him with just 3 units to attack with, 4 if he NOWS his new KOTC. without NOW, he cant get through my wall at the moment. for my final tech’s this turn, i think it’s best to bring in double two step. it would be very value adding for mimics.

I’m sure he’ll have a Rex in hand for next turn, so that Tech III needs to go. I’m hoping to have more Fading casualties in the future, in which case Second chances will be useful, so I’ll tech them in now. Second Chances will also allow Doom Grasp to obsolete Origin Story (though in hindsight, I maybe should have just gone with Doom Graps initially? not sure, will have to give it some thought).

Your Wisp is 1/1 and your Fencer 2/3, yes? You swapped their patrol positions, I’m guessing?

yeah. sorry. wisp is elite, nimble fencer is tech.
