My Thoughts

I think I’m probably favored Red vs Blue (and him having Bashing), we’ll see how this goes though!

215

i forget, if you kill my technician, and i tech 2 cards, do they get added to the discard before a reshuffle, or do they NOT get added until after the reshuffle at the start of my next turn?

ive heard that it’s active player choice.

just thinking through multiple options.

216

the 2nd. tech happens at the start of your turn

217

@Legion I’m 99% sure it’s players choice.

EDIT: I’m actually perhaps wrong? this suggests otherwise

218

that’s a lot of text. maybe just quote the relevant section here. it would be good to know this once and for all.

hmm, anarchy, blood, feral. he’s got me beat on tech 2, tech 3, and hero’s. this will be a tough one. he also has those lobbers for value trading. ill have to just weather the storm and tech up.

double one drop next turn helps.

this opening hand sucks. ill just need to tech up for now to use that gold.

i think i just have to give him free levels then go get them back later.

ideal is twins, backup is ocelot and tech 2.

223

Yeah technically technician draw happens “instantly”, so you can even hand peek to see what they drew.
I believe it’s player’s choice whether or not the unit in technician gets added to the discard pile before or after the reshuffle, but I’m not certain about that.

1 Like
224

No that one I believe has been settled also as “When technician dies, it is placed in your discard. Then, the technician trigger executes (as a result of the unit dying and entering discard pile)”.

So the dead technician is always part of the reshuffle. All other patrollers that die in the course of a turn, however, would depend on which patrollers are killed first (killed before the techn? part of the RS. killed after? in discard after the RS)

1 Like
225

yeah. il just play with the assumption that teched cards hit discard last, and a tech unit killed gets added to discard before reshuffle.

I can’t decide if this or Bombaster + Dog makes more sense… I certainly have counter-attack capabilities available with Zane and Drakk, so going with Bombaster + Dog isn’t awful… But I don’t know how I’d patrol to make that work out well… I like Cala better, she can tank, and next turn Bro + T1 should be fine
