My Thoughts

Did not expect a tech2 kill. Iā€™ll stack the deck with Eyes and another Tiger, so that chances are I draw into them
ā€¦
Good, Brick Thief is perfect here. One extra blocker that doesnā€™t have to be named Oni. Heā€™d need Arrest + Pig + Mythmaking and me putting Brick Thief non-SQL to get DeGrey on my buildings, so Iā€™ll just SQL the Thief. Tech 3 next turn probably
ā€¦
Wouldā€™ve been nice to draw the Eyes, but at least I got a tiger

My Thoughts

Okay this is excellent, Iā€™m going to nearly force a tower which basically eliminates the threat of Gryphons, which buys me lots of time. His best move next turn is probably Max Rook + Tower, with DeGrey in front to keep Rook safe. Annoying but manageable.

My Thoughts

Birds + Oathkeeper, interestingā€¦ At least the Oathkeeper prevents Earthquake, and I donā€™t think he has any way of removing him now

93

yeah, iproā€™s and conā€™s choosing one of those oaths.

ll just gg it there. you can pivot based on whatever i do bc chancellor. gg man. i think im due for a break after 4 losses, but thanks for all the games!

GG WP! I am glad for the Eyes tech, by forcing the tower it saved the game for me (otherwise I was definitely losing the race to Gryphons)

Really liked your Porky + blockers dump early, looked bleak for Oni. Lucky for me that I drew the tools to shut Rook down, a little greedy on your part to tech Earthquakes in that situation though.

Thanks for the games, take care!

95

yeah, i think i made the mistake of earthquakes, should have brought in double grapplers instead.
