Casual Codexnewb Mono-Blue vs Frozenstorm [Fire]/Past/Peace

yeah, i chose newmsan to block 1 fearing bootcamp would help you break through. didnt do much for me, but i lucked out getting them both down regardless.

I could have maxed Jaina and burned it down with Lobber and Bloodburn, might have worked (though I hadnā€™t drawn any blockers to help)

i thought you would go peace engine for a bit, so when you pivoted to fire, my heart skipped a beat.

im down to run it back with other decks etcā€¦ let me know.

ya sure, iā€™ll start one tomorrow

sounds good. i randomed [finesse]/disease/ninjitsu.

My Thoughts

Decent chance here he just whiffed and is holding fencers or Orpal spells or somethingā€¦ but I think if thatā€™s the case it isnā€™t a big deal. The question is what to do if heā€™s got an Abomā€¦ thatā€™s a tough nut to crack. Teching up for Doubling Barbars feels like a good counter when paired with Two-Step, and if I bloom a bird itā€™ll survive that Abom. Wither could still eliminate it thoughā€¦ so letā€™s just kill Orpal and remove the sickness / maxband possibility as well. The 2x fencer in hand seems the least likely of all scenarios.
ā€¦
Woof thatā€™s a big whiff on the RS
