hmmm, rook could trade into plasmo i guess. maybe i should drop river for free levels? i’m pretty sure she is safe. i just dont want to lose my whole board here, but at the end of the day, i just want a two step and possible tech up.

seer to technician and bring in double two step.

im thinking slow time generator and second chances. try to keep this at the tech 1 level.

okay, let’ts not kill crashbomber to make sure i dont see a hasted flying mimic next turn. best i can think of.

hopefully no mad man…but not much i can do about it.

I should have floated a gold, because of Rich Earth. That change anything?

P2T4

Starting hand: 3

Spore Shambler
Tiger Cub
Forest’s Favor

Thoughts

Hmm, I should probably have midbanded Rook instead of building Tech II early. Hoping that going for Balance II has discouraged codexnewb from teching in Undo, so Dothram Horselords will have time to swing before Prynn shuts them down.

Is it worth bringing out Drakk to kill things? He’d let a Bird kill Nullcraft, Crash Bomber’s ability would have to hit a building. If I have him and the other Bird kill the Seer and Plasmodium, that’s 1 damage to a building, and I could also maxband Drakk and bring out the Tiger Cub with haste. That’s another 3 damage, not enough to kill River. The alternative is Forest’s Favor to let Crash Bomber trade with River, and still do 1 building damage. Then I’ve only spent 8 gold due to the free levels, and can still play the Tiger Cub with haste too, although I’m completely destroying my hand size. The Tiger Cub could either destroy the Tower, or trade with Plasmodium. I think I like the idea of leaving codexnewb with only Mox on the board to face down Drakk, so I’ll do that and tech in Desperation and War Drums. Let’s live dangerously!

Putting Drakk in Technician instead of Squad Leader: Origin Story works the same for both, and if double Fencer or Fencer + Starlet comes out then he’s dead either way, due to the Mox, so I might as well get an extra card if he goes down.

P2T5

Starting hand: 2

Dothram Horselord
Tiger Cub

Thoughts

This turn plays itself. Adding a Kidnapping to take anything that gets Remembered, and Nature Reclaims to deal with Slow-Time Generator and Second Chances. I think I’m already fine to deal with Shimmer Ray and Yesterday’s Golgort, Second Chances doesn’t do much except against an offensive Bloodlust.

Holding onto the Horselord might be a challenge if codexnewb has drawn into a Rememberer and time manipulation.

hmmm, let’s just trash a single bird, and finger’s crossed he has to make bad trades wo get at my tech three. bringing in discord to help with birds.

wow, one of those rare edge cases where one can have 3 birds at once

charnel_mouse · November 20, 2019, 10:01pm

That would be cool, but I think the Bird just disappears when it gets trashed, since it’s a token.

Bloodlust

Thoughts

Reshuffling soon if my Surplus stays up, so I need to tech any additional cards now. No point putting in Potent Basilisk, because it being untargetable means I can’t buff its health to do anything against Blademaster. I think I go for mass fliers.

Rampant Growth

Thoughts

Hmm, I’d have preferred to draw a unit, so I’m not hasting a Playful Panda that can’t attack this turn. I’ll have to Bloodlust the fresh Bird to deal with Prynn.

I could put Bloodlust and Rampant Growth on the Birds, then just hit codexnewb’s base to 2 HP. That leaves everything on his board alive, and if Origin Story takes Drakk away then doing that last 2 damage suddenly becomes harder. I go for killing Prynn and leaving him with just Tech I. There’s not too much Geiger can do in that case, right? Nimble Fencers + Two Step could be a problem, but if I stick Rook in Elite he can kill a dancing Fencer. Casting Rampant Growth to hold onto a Bird, since I’ve got gold to burn, and I’m likely to draw into Desperation next turn anyway. Still got plenty of gold to scare codexnewb with a Tech III building, if I want.

I was lucky that codexnewb didn’t bring out Discord earlier last game. I’ll guess that he’ll go for it early this turn, and go for a Boulder + Rickety Mine opening, see how much effort it takes to blast through to the latter. Opening with Midori, since I’ll be playing Tiger cub and Ardra’s Boulder over the next few turns. Getting rid of the Panda, again on the theory that codexnewb will be getting Discord, plus if the Boulder works out I might go for Mythmaking into Strength II, and those units are beefy enough that Verdant Tree’s healing might be useful.
