Thoughts

Continuing thoughts from last turn, the absence of Vir makes Mythmaking viable, and if I keep getting income from Rickety Mine Colossi are easily affordable, but vulnerable to Prynn. If I play Tiger Cub, then a bounce lets the Neo Plexus kill Midori, so I’ll put Forest’s Favor on Midori instead.

hmmm, i kind fo like keeping midori out there. i could kill him i suppose, save mox for later, but i want to get rid of merfolk.

also, it costs him 4 gold to heal midori, so ill put mox in elite with battle suits.

damn. whiffed again. will i ever be able to have fun with this codex?

Thoughts

Mythmaking only boosts the Boulder and DeGrey, practically, and DeGrey huts me more than codexnewb, so perhaps I just stick to Balance to make use of the extra income. Putting in Nature Reclaims to get rid of the Battle Suits, and Faerie Dragon to block the Nullcraft and feather things away.

okay, there are both tech’s, and no reshuffle. next turn is probably gg 7, rickety mine 10, max drak 3, green unit 1 worker 0

let’s just skipa worker and see what happens. this is all experimental anyways. any green tech 0 that comes out, NC can pick off next turn.

Thoughts

No Nullcraft, so codexnewb might have it in hand. I need to bear that in mind for a reprisal if I attack, but since he can tech in Nimble Fencers I probably don’t want to anyway. I do need to worry about Battle Suits coming out for the Mox and the Fading Argonaut, though.

The most annoying units in Future II are probably Xenostalker (high health makes Crashbarrow / Kidnapping not great) and Hive (Again, Kidnapping isn’t so useful since stealing Hive only lets me temporarily get Stingers out of patrol, unless I get War Drums out). I also can’t cheese with the likes of Rickety Mine, due to the threat of Assimilate. On the other hand, with Now! no longer in the deck, Void Star isn’t nearly so scary. Maybe I can risk going for Strength II here, I’ll be behind on getting Birds out though. Then DeGrey can deal with Stingers, and Barbarbarians hold up against Xenostalkers OK. Morningstar Pass is out due to Assimilate, sadly. Finesse is more annoying, but I can threaten to kidnap Grounded Guides, pretty good if I’m using Barbarbarians.

If being aggressive with Midori this turn let me have more impact, I’d double-tech Kidnapping. For now, I think I put in a Crash Bomber and a Tiny Basilisk for cheap defence.

cant really trade with that efficiently…and i dont want to leave fargo out front with 3 attack for midori to trade into at no cost. let’s put fencer out there instead

teching an origin story and two step to have options.

Starting hand: 5

Tiger Cub
Merfolk Prospector
Forest’s Favor

Rampant Growth

Thoughts

Ouch. I think I need to delay Tech II to keep up here. I see three ways to make use of Midori’s midband:

  • Rampant Growth Midori, he kills Squad Leader, then midbands. Wisp trades with Fading Argonaut or Nimble Fencer, leaving 4/5 attack against Midori with 4 HP. The non-Mox unit left alive has to die to kill Midori, even with Two Step.
  • Midband Midori, Tiger Cub. I have 5 unit HP plus 4 HP on Midori, against 9 attack. I could put Wisp in Squad Leader so that both Wisp and Tiger Cub effectively have 3 HP, making it difficult for codexnewb’s current board have to get through to kill Midori without assistance.
  • Midband Midori, kill the Fencer with helped from a suiciding Wisp, Tiger Cub. Leaves 3 unit HP and 2 HP on Midori against 7 attack. Getting past Tiger Cub without help needs a sacrifice, but can be done with Mox and Fencer, leaving Fading Argonaut to trade with Midori.

The second option seems the best, but I think I still have to assume I’m getting wrecked with Two Step, and go for Kidnapping. If I tech up next turn I have 3 gold for Tiny Basilisk + Crash Bomber, so I think I’m OK for next turn, so maybe I could risk teching in Strength II units now instead, actually. I’ll put in two Doubling Barbarbarians, to maximise my chances of having one in hand on turn 5.

Thoughts

Gulp. Well, rather Forgotten Fighter than Two Step, I suppose. Bringing in two Kidnappings: it risks them doing nothing if codexnewb leaves the board small, but they deal with Two Step really well. Waiting on Nature Reclaims until I know what spec he’s going for. Patrolling with Crash Bomber instead of playing Rook, so the other Nimble Fencer returning doesn’t give away bounty levels. I really don’t want to make banishing Barbarbarians even easier than it already is.

Putting Tiny Basilisk in front, it lets Mox kill the Crash Bomber but the alternative is getting wiped without getting any trades.
