GG WP! that was suffocating. I really messed up that turn 3 taxman patrol, perfect strike for Grave

indeed. i needed after getting rolled so hard by cal the previous game. i randomed [necro[/peace/ninjitsu

Oh man, this wasnā€™t right; gpt had resist 1, so you would have had to skip the hh

ugh, sorry about that. i guess i could skip the worker too, ended up floating that gold. i didnt save a version for that turn, so canā€™t replay it. sorry.

Ha itā€™s no sweat, it was still a very brain off patrol lol.

Work is nuts right now so Iā€™m probably not playing until tomorrow or maybe Monday, Iā€™ll post t1 and a random deck someone around then!

So this is an interesting deckā€¦ I get Mox + Birds + Two Step as some fun early game. I would probably have preferred Prynn to Vir, but itā€™s deck.random, beggers canā€™t be choosers. His deck is pretty solid too though, Iā€™ll want to hold onto FF as long as I can to combat LB and Garth things in general

hmmm, going down on cardsā€¦well, just tech up and play my advantage. at least no stewardess to deal with this time. makes skeletons an easy choice. build the tower to deal with nullcraft and birds. drop archery later.

heā€™ll get the free levels, but not much i can do about tht anyways. he got the split. fingers crossed no battle suits this next hand for him.

expecting gg 6, worker 5, rook, 3, birds 1.

Ninjas, hmmā€¦ I expect heā€™ll probably try to do garth stuff next turn? At least Two-Steppin plexus will take down a GN if it tries to come at me. Letā€™s hope I draw the Nest / Two Step combo next turnā€¦


hmm, your steps say discard 2, draw 3, rs, draw 1.

but you start with 4, neo (3), two step (2) worker (1) - and your end hand says 3.

also, 4 cards in deck of of last turn should mean no reshuffle either way.

can you clarify the above?

DC1 Draw 3, no RS as you said, my b for copypasta miss

sounds good!

hmm, okay, well, two options

  1. max garth, det neo, GN kills Neo.
    Pro: GN on field
    Con: free hero levels, bad gold usage, possible second two steps

  2. BC, TI, Garth, SK
    Pro: less gold waste, cripples his hand
    con - possible tech break, especially if he has double fencer and two step in hand.

I think given the no reshuffle, i should get thsi two step out of here. GN will be ver useful moving forward.

Iā€™ll tech porcupine to wall up, GN is the obvious #2

gg 10
garth 8
deter small bird
bone collector 6
bone collector 4
mid garth 1
skeleton 1

teching a doomgrasp to get at river in 2 turns. fingers crossed no appel stompā€¦

Just want to make sure our understanding is the same: Mox will not die from GN, and thus ā€œsurvivesā€ combat for the purposes of swift strike (similar to how two-lives Rook would).

Is that your understanding? if not, would you like a patrol change?

Edit confirmed ruling: Rules Questions thread - #56 by Barrelfish
Since Two Step is not an attachment (directly, its a rune) it would be hitting back with its dancinā€™ 4 damage, and killing it

thatā€™s my understanding as well! go for it!
