Thoughts
OK, Midori, takes out the tower, Rampant Growth lets Chameleon and Wandering Mimic take out Techs II and III, then Rook comes in and Thunderclaps the Mirrors away. codexnewb can still make two more Mirrors to copy the Mimic and kill things, but I think this is the best I can do, and it stops any way to hit me with Crashbarrows. Hopefully that will hope to end things before codexnewb runs away on economy.
Do I want Midori or Mimic to take the Tower damage? Quince can make three Mimic copies next turn, if codexnewb does nothing else. One Mimic + Drakk to kill Rook leaves 4+4+1+1=10 possible damage on my stuff, plus 2 from midband Drakk. I think Iām better off leaving the Tower alive this turn, and having someone kill Quince instead. In which case I can skip the Thunderclap in favour of Birds, then if the Mimic gets stolen it just hits a Bird a stolen Mimic can still sneak past but it blocks Gliders. Great. At worst, a Commander comes down and allows a Crashbarrow and a Shoddy Glider, and the latter gets blocked by a Bird. Not enough gold there to fear Commander + Kidnapping.
